We so enjoy our Release Countdown each month – our team never fails to inspire us and we love seeing your enthusiasm and reading your ideas for using the new collection. We want to extend that excitement past release night with even more opportunities for the designers to blow us away with their creativity and ingenuity.
So many of our stamp sets feature images that invite color — from markers and pencils to watercolors, our designers are itching to show off their coloring prowess and innovative techniques.
Toucans conjure vibrant, fruity colors (okay, that may be my inner child talking…lovingly recalling favorite cereals from my youth ;)) and Donna’s version of Toucan Do It brings those colors to the forefront.
It’s no surprise that fish and birds are ripe for vivid color — our designers went above and beyond bringing these creatures to life with their coloring skills this month. Rachel’s Gill Friends feature rich depth thanks to intense shading and contrasting color choices.
You’re already feeling inspired, right? Brace yourselves because we have so much more to share! Check out what the rest of the team has created in response to our Just Add Color challenge below!

Rachel’s coloring skills caught our eye during our Card Design Superstar contest — it’s easy to see why we’re so taken by her skills when you recognize the depth she’s achieved in the clothing and the shine she’s captured in our adorable boys‘ hair. Birdie Brown images are always a treat to color, no matter your skill level!
Love You a Bunch features our darling Pure Innocence girl ready to present a lush bouquet to a very lucky recipient. Melania has carried that floral theme throughout her look, not only in her decision to add some of our new Mini Rolled Roses, but also by adding a charming floral motif to the dress. It’s a very simple pattern to create but really makes an impact on the finished product.
In addition to Just Add Color, we have our first release class video for our May Release. Barbara has done some great coloring on her flamingo but the real surprise is the colorful reveal when the card is opened up. Watch this video to learn more about how she extended the color and continued her flamboyant theme throughout the card design.

We start TODAY with Just Add Color. So many of our stamp sets feature images that invite color — from markers and pencils to watercolors, our designers are itching to show off their coloring prowess and innovative techniques.
Torico’s take on our Just Add Color challenge this month is so unique and beautiful! Her soft pinky-peach monochromatic palette evokes a charming storybook feel. It’s a much different look from most of the samples we’ve seen with this Birdie Brown set so it really stands out! The soft color wash look is such a great choice for this rainy day image!
Joy also took a monochromatic approach. Her too-cute turtle is rendered in shades of grey — that allows her rainbow, showcased in a peek-a-boo window, to share equal footing while still complementing her theme…he’s not feeling his best right now but when he’s on the mend, I’m sure he’ll return to his vibrant self!
In addition to Just Add Color, we have our first release class video for our April Release. Color can be added to your projects in many ways…including adding color to your envelopes! Our new Envelope Buddy Stencil provides the ability to add perfectly straight, perfectly spaced address information to your envelopes leaving room to create a sweet little scene to color. You can use it for masking to add spot color to your envelopes as well — talk about creating a complete package!
