Stampin' Up! Watercolor Pencils on Cards | Papercrafting Playdate 49

[@judyfrench7004]

Hi Robin, I never seen the water pencils demonstrated before, they make beautiful cards! Here in Ontario Canada we had torrential rains, followed by freezing rain, hail, flash freeze to the ground, then a snowstorm. Today it's the high winds. Funny weather!

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Hi Judy! Oh my, you had every single precipitation possible!😳

[@judyharmon4586]

Love, love, love to color!!! It's the little girl who lives inside of me 🤗

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Hi Judy! She will be happy today!

[@mstawksalot5141]

That purple card is outstanding.

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Thank you so much! Purple 💜💜💜

[@judyestrada1446]

Robin- lots of water coloring images. Nice job on your coloring. Another item I have not tired as of yet. Thank you for sharing this video with us! 👏👏👏💕

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Hmm, Judy, I think you need to try some coloring techniques - some coloring therapy!😁

[@judyestrada1446]

@@reallyrobinstamps Yes I do - I will try real soon & let you know when I get some done! 👍

[@barbaraarmstrong4295]

Such composure despite the falling paper cutter and embossing powder spill. Love the purple card the best but they are all beautiful! Thanks for all the techniques and the finished cards!

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Ha ha! What's a girl going to do? (buy more embossing powder and get out the vacuum!). Thank you for making the rounds on my videos and leaving me such lovely comments!😄

[@veecee9536]

Each and every card is beautiful and each taught me something I can use for my own attempts. Robin, you share and teach so much in each of your video tutorials, thank you. Just wish I lived nearby so I could attend your classes, they must be such fun and full of inspiration. Regards from UK 🇬🇧

[@andreah1011]

These cards are all so beautiful. I have not yet tried watercoloring as it intimidates me, but this video has given me courage to try.

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Hi Andrea, and thank you. You just might find that you like it, and with all things, the more you practice the better you get at it. 😁

[@andreah1011]

@@reallyrobinstamps you are absolutely right! 💯 I will try. You are amazing to watch. I enjoy your calm vibe and upbeat attitude. And aaaaaaall of your videos. Thank you!!

Well thank you so much! That is good feedback. What you see is what you get with me, and I’m always relieved when that is helpful or inspiring. 😊

[@barbaramcintosh9186]

Love your cards and thanks for reminding me how to use my color pencils and paper. Just started following you, so hello from Kentucky. Thanks for sharing.

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Hi Barbara! Yay! I'm so glad that you will have a reason to get this pencils back out to play! KY is very special to our family! Welcome!!😁

[@mstawksalot5141]

I’m not new to SU but I have never bought the pencils. Thank you, this was wonderful.

[@reallyrobinstamps]

You are very welcome! The watercolor pencils are an easy and pretty inexpensive tool to have on hand. Happy watercoloring!😁

[@cynthiaford2411]

Congratulations

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Thank you, Cynthia! It has been the most wonderful journey!☺️

[@debbiehamilton3619]

Robin I like the way you make DSP by stamping images on card base. So simple but very effective

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Hi Debbie! Thank you. I really like how words look in a background and never get tired of it. I appreciate your comment!😊

[@nereidahernandez5320]

Hi Robin, watching the replay on KZbin. I love this watercolor technique. Now I have to get the watercolor pencils to try it out.😁 So much to learn....love it.😊😊♥️

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Helloooo! Stamping is never boring! So many images, folds, and techniques. 🥰

[@judyharmon4586]

Beautiful work, Robin! 🥰x

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Thank you, Judy. 😁

[@wendyhollister9895]

I like to use water brush pen with the pencils coloring flowers etc while watching tv 📺 lol lol thanks

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Yes! I love to do that also. So very therapeutic, right? Thank you, Wendy.😁

[@tiffneyellis7618]

It looks very interesting. I have to purchase some water colour items to try. I have never ever tried it.

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Hi Tiffney, and thank you for watching. Watercoloring can be so much fun!😄

You make this look so easy! And your finished cards are beautiful!!

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Hi Teresa! Thank you. I assure you it really is easy and only takes practice. 😊

[@findlayhunter4934]

I really like that you don’t use all dsp in your videos. Thanks for watercolor techniques. I have a (new) blender pen/brush but it doesn’t seem to have any fluid in it.

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Hi Findlay! I’m glad cards without patterned paper are making you happy. Is your blender pen from Stampin’ Up!? The new ones have stiff brushes and need to be broken in by using. Definitely should see fluid if you bend the brush tip.

[@findlayhunter4934]

@@reallyrobinstamps No, I ordered it from Amazon. It is Tombow brand. I have been dipping it in water. Not ideal, but it works.

[@robinwalston9433]

I have problems getting water into the water brushes. Please explain the process. Enjoying your videos.

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Good question, Robin. I thought of a couple things I should have added to the video including your question. First of all the barrels open clockwise instead of the normal screw top direction. Once open I just hold it under a stream of water from the sink. What issues specifically are you having?

[@susanh3602]

Beautiful! Thank you for this tutorial, I'm new to this technique. Would you agree that water colour paper would be best? Thanks 🌸 😊 p.s. I'm also new to Stampin Up!

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Hello Susan and welcome to my channel and the world of Stampin' Up! Watercolor paper does work best especially when you are using lots of water. I think the watercolor pencils and a blender pen work well on Basic White cardstock. The Shimmery White cardstock we carry is also very perfect for these techniques. Please let me know how I can help you in your stamping journey! Thank you for leaving me your comment!😃

[@susanh3602]

@@reallyrobinstamps HI Robin thank you for replying.. I'll experiment and see which techniques will work! Can't wait :)

[@lynnleyfontaine9291]

Hi Robin Lynn from Australia here. It's 10:30am Saturday morning here, as I'm typing this. Confession - I do have the pencils, but have NEVER used them. I don't really do colouring, BUT, as usual, you have inspired me. Thanks for sooooooo many samples. Like Tim said in his Valentine's to you - You are amazing. I can't see the comments people make when watching you, so someone might have already asked you this - what is in the jar that you keep your pencils in, and, what purpose does it serve - just curious. Cheers my friend. Lynn

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Hello Lynn! 😘😘😘😘😘 I put some lentil beans in my jar to protect the tips and make the pencils stand up higher.🤷🏼‍♀️

[@lynnleyfontaine9291]

@@reallyrobinstamps Hi again. It's now 5:20pm Saturday here, so expect you are asleep. Thanks for letting me know what's in the jar. Have sent you an e-mail, so hope you get that in due course. Cheers. Lynn

[@MsPepper0421]

I just found your channel. In reading about your technique, it explains that we would need to order by 1/31/22 but use the February hostess code. Is that correct?

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Thank you , Debbie, for catching this! It should read 2/28-end of February.

[@maryclem70]

I put alcohol in the brushes instead of water and then I can stamp with Memento ink.

[@reallyrobinstamps]

Hi Mary! I haven’t tried that technique and now I’m intrigued! Thank you for sharing with me!
