Tips for Stamping Large Backgrounds: PawPaw's Pajamas

[@sherrywoods4630]

Beautiful cards! I gave up trying to decide which one I like better. Showing how you made it a two-fer is SO helpful. Thanks, Kelly!

[@MaryMoisan]

Black & white will always be a classic. Love both cards, but the stripe one is my favorite 😀

[@rikkiscott-morgan4248]

Fabulous cards Kelly, love the black and white backgrounds so classy. Love how you used the left over pieces, so clever.❤️

[@cherylamen5290]

Absolutely 2 beautiful cards. They're both equally gorgeous. Wonderfoful work as usuall. Your coloring ❤❤❤

[@abbystone5738]

I really love black and white cards with a pop of color - probably my favorite!

[@KellyTaylorCards]

It's high on my list too 😍

[@brendamcbride6421]

Awesome cards! I love how you showed how to use all the pieces of the florals to make 2 cards.

[@pattibaileydesigns]

Kelly, I am constantly amazed at your color selections. If I looked at my markers, I'd never select those combos for each of those flowers because I'd never thought they would go together (like the colors for the yellow flower)...yet they are PERFECT!! I love watching you create such beautiful cards.

[@KellyTaylorCards]

The yellows are tricky! If you prefer a less golden yellow you can swap the darker colors for a more neutral brown 😉

[@pattibaileydesigns]

@@KellyTaylorCards Thanks for the tip! I think it's perfect and wouldn't change a thing.

[@raehenderson]

Wonderful Kelly!!! You gave a great lesson on using stamping platforms with cling and clear. Someone will truly benefit. The second card ( which was genius) had that first scrap with a perfect corner and my first instinct was to place it in the upper left corner inside the card LOL. Kelly, thank you so much for all the beautiful but hard work you put in. Im truly grateful.❤

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Thank you so much!

[@craftingwithtracyhugs416]

Love the black and white too, always love your coloring too!

[@debraschenz]

Love, love, love both cards! Beautiful!!!!❤

[@suelanham5125]

What pretty cards! I think my favorite is the second one, but both are great!

[@michelejacobs115]

Oh, Kelly, I love, love, love these cards! The black and white with those intense colors is perfection!

[@angelalittlewood3039]

Wow Kelly, from the introduction I thought you had die cut a heart shape from the flowers. What a surprise😯 to see that is was created from leftovers! I was sat watching your video, and all the time I could see different ways to use that background stamp. Got to have it!! Love your cards as usual.

[@KellyTaylorCards]

I do love a good stripe 😍

[@marshafreer9764]

Love your card, Kelly! As always, love your Copic color choices for your flower design! Would like to see what you create to utilize the two parts of the flower design that you cut off. 💖

[@shirleymcneely1994]

Both cards are beautiful, Kelly.

[@kareneaton433]

Storytime is still a favorite of mine. I have wood mounted stamps I still love and the old Velcro backed stamps and blocks (you could buy more rubber stamps if unmounted) I use temporary tape and my Tim Holtz stamping platform to use them now. None stick sharp scissors were a must.

[@bdbear10]

I love how you colored that floral! I have that stamp and now I might actually use it! LOL

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Yay!! Use what you have 😊

[@Via_Von]

oh wow Kelly!! I love how you split that set like that and used the leftovers in the windowed heart! Creative and beautiful!! I did a SMH on the air bubbles! How long have I been cardmaking, just 2 (no i guess its 3 now) years and never thought of checking for those with large stamps! Thank you!! 😍💝

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Hope it's helpful!

[@camilleanzelmo6275]

Both cards are so beautiful. I love that striped background stamp. I just may have to get it.❤❤

[@lindadunstall1790]

Hi Kelly 🥰🦘🦘We forget to use the "offcuts" & you have used them very well! Fabulous, colourful & economically created. Love them both. Thank you so much 🦋🌻

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@CatherinesCreations7]

Kelly this is a pair of gorgeous, gorgeous cards! Love the black and white backgrounds you created. They showcase the wonderful flowers so beautifully.

[@erinhamilton9818]

Beautiful cards Kelly! Thanks for all the tips and tricks ❤

[@susanforman8495]

Amazing cards and I love your stories.

[@lindasimas4834]

Absolutely gorgeous

[@loriedwards181]

So beautiful!!! LOVE your story!♥️♥️♥️

[@lynnbartlett4185]

Gorgeous cards as always

[@patriciawilson4135]

So beautiful! Your coloring is always so amazing! See most people may have thrown out the pieces that they cut off and here you are making two gorgeous cards instead of one. Thanks so much for all the wonderful ideas.

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Thank you so much!

[@donnasymoniak5280]

Love the stories Kelly❤of course your coloring is fantastic

[@kiminalaska9363]

Beautiful cards Kelly. They are both stunning

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Thank you!

[@suestruenkmann4403]

Absolutely gorgeous ❤

Hey, Kelly, maybe you used to be cheap when you are frugal with your cardstock - NOW, we are environmentally conscious! 😉 Kind regards from Germany, Nicola

[@mecheledunlap4301]

Those are so beautiful ❤❤❤

beautiful cards Kelly!

Beautiful cards ❤

[@lisagardner1644]

I love your cards! Great color choices. I’m not sure where I found your channel but I’m so glad I did!😊

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Aww thank you!

[@melaniestamps]

Gorgeous duo Kelly!!!! ❤

[@mariamiskimmon5437]

Love these cards❤❤❤

[@DarkMatterZine]

OMG YOU CRACK ME UP!!! “I was an early riser too, I’d be up by 9am!” BWAHAHA. If you’re not up with the sun, at least in winter, there is no way you can (legitimately) lay claim to being an early riser. Love your stories! And your cards.

[@KellyTaylorCards]

I was only ever up with the sun if I stayed up the night before 🤣

[@DarkMatterZine]

@@KellyTaylorCards 🤣

[@clairetimko]

WOW... I never knew that about the air bubbles on clear background stamps! I have one stamp that I have just given up on because it never stamps well. Im going to try your way and hope it fixes it!

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Glad it was helpful!

[@margarete6888]

Lovely! The MISTI was definitely a game changer for me! A friend wanted to try mine years ago but said she had no luck and showed me blobs. I couldn’t figure out what went wrong. Many months later she wanted to try again. I watched and saw she positioned her stamps backwards so the solid Back Hit the paper. 🤦‍♀️

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Oh, God love her. We all make mistakes figuring out new things! 🤣

[@kathleencarter9739]

Love it!

[@laura12060]

Awesome!!!

[@pinkmosquito22]

I'm always in complete aww with your coloring! 🤩 I know you're a Copic girl, but have you ever tried the Ohuhu alcohol markers? I would love to see you use them and share your honest opinion.

[@KellyTaylorCards]

I haven't tried them. They have reached out to me about doing a review so maybe I'll take them up on it!

[@pinkmosquito22]

@@KellyTaylorCards I would love it if you did! I have the largest Honolulu set and I really like them, but watching you color, it seems like there's a bit of a difference in them. The biggest challenge I have is that the swatch sheets don't have the colors in shade order, and the numbers don't really assist with picking colors for blending... not that I can figure out anyway! 😆

[@kerrymcgregor9771]

❤

[@judicrouse8890]

I do like these tutorials. I thought that you were going to use the leftover floral as corner pieces.

[@CandCbyPegi]

Love the cards, but dangit, all I can see in my head is SJR's BIG red glasses LOL

[@KellyTaylorCards]

I'm going to have to Google it....

[@CandCbyPegi]

@@KellyTaylorCards Sally Jesse Raphael always wore these larger frames red glasses. They are forever burned into my memory lol

[@suzanherrington8316]

I don't waste cardstock either ❤🎉😊

[@laura12060]

9am isn’t early. lol my kids got up around 7ish hence now that they are 30-40ish I sleep in on the weekends.

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Back then it was early for me 🤣 now I have to have my kids to their places before 9am!
