Do you have days when you just don’t feel like colouring? Today I have an easy alternative to share with you and a video showing you how!
Did you see that Altenew have a new release and we are hopping along to celebrate, so you should have arrived here from TERRI’s fabulous Blog!
Before we get to the video I want to share with you a couple of holiday card designs. Starting with this beautiful Festival Floral Frame.
I did some easy Artist Marker colouring and added a simple sentiment from the Holiday Tag Sentiments Stamp Set.
My second design is very bold. I used the Poinsettia 3D Die Set and added it on to a background created with the Many Dots and Gold Foil Washi tapes.
The sentiment is from the Modern Poinsietta Stamp Set.
Finally how to ‘add’ colour without ‘colouring’? It’s simple, use the Simple Coloring Stencils from Altenew Yay!
This card shares the new Kind Reminders bundle and it’s a stunner!
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

The stencilled colouring gives the flowers a modern, graphic look which looks fabulous. I like how easy it looks too!
Always love your videos. The black poinsettia card just blew me away.
Thank you for sharing the stenciling video. I love coloring but my skills have a long way to go compared to you and the other designers who color so beautifully. I think using a stencil may be an easier route for me as I continue on my journey of coloring with alcohol markers and watercoloring. Thank you for the inspiration!
As always Therese, your cards are gorgeous, I am loving every product released! Thank you for the inspiration and video! Have a wonderful day!
Three beautiful cards. My favourite is the poinsettia, it’s really striking. This is an amazing release Therese. I don’t think there’s anything I don’t want, we’ll, maybe the Decal set (that’s because I have nowhere to put it) but everything else will go into my shopping basket. Thank you for sharing your great ideas.
Love this card! Thumbs UP!
I love watching you work. You always give great tips and you have such an encouraging upbeat attitude. Thanks!
Love the black and white pointsettia
Thank you for the tip to die cut from your background and inset the lowest flower . I would NEVER have thought of that on my own! Beautiful card, as always!
Come on, now! You know you ‘had me’ at Poinsettia in shades of grey! ALL Gorgeous, my friend!

Therese I always admire the elegance in your creationsamd this time it is by the black and white poinsettias that took my heart away. The way you’ve teamed it up with gold and black and white pola dots.. They are fantastic.. I love it very much..

Fantastic cards!
Thanks for sharing.
I so enjoy your cards and videos. It’s always a happy moment to see you pop up in my feed. Though I have to say, this time, it’s not the video card that’s my favorite; it’s the black and white poinsettia. I would never have thought to do that, but it is so elegant. It feels like the classiest Christmas party ever (back when we had parties).
So many beautiful cards, Therese! Your combination of colors on the poinsettia is awesome! Everything you created from the release looks fantastic!
You always inspire me, Therese! I adore the stamp set & your first card, but the poinsettia done in neutrals totally wowed me!
Beautiful cards! So very pretty! I’m off to watch your video now!
Lovely cards Therese. Love the black and white Poinsettia. The video is awesome. The colouring is perfect with the stencils.
Coloring stencils are absolutely creative genius! I am in love with your card projects!
This is one of the best releases I’ve ever seen. Hopefully I will still be able to get some of the goodies at the beginning of next month. It’s so hard to have to wait! Your projects are stunning.
You have the most fun job getting to play with all of Altenew’s wonderful products! All your cards are wonderful, especially the one you created in your video. I’m so loving these new layering stencils. That Kind Reminders bundle is definitely on my wish list.
Beautiful cards! I love the inset die-cut technique.
“Coloring” with stencils makes mass producing cards easy peasy! Major time saver! Ingenious!
LOVE your Floral Frames card and black poinsettia; your creativity is amazing!
Beautiful ! Especially love the 3d poinsettia.
These are just beautiful! Love the design and colors on your first card, and the 3D poinsettia is gorgeous!
I like the frame flowers, but I think my favorite is the poinsettia. It looks like a gift.
I love the unique color choice of the black poinsettia! It’s beautiful! Great inspiration today!
Beautiful and simple alcohol marker coloring, the black and white 3D poinsettia is so classy and elegant and I love the simple stencil coloring too.
Love that joy and love card and the black and white is wonderful.
Lovely cards and the
stencil of the flower
looks like it is easy to
use.

I can’t get over how fun the floral frame stamp set is! There are so many gorgeous possibilities with it 🙂
Gorgeous cards, Therese! Black and white is always a winner with me, but your first card is just stunning! Love the colours and those sweet flowers and sentiment! Take care! 🙂
All your cards are beautiful, but I was blown away by the black, white and gold poinsettia… Thank you for the inspiration!

Beautiful floral cards. I like the framing on the first one.
Beautiful cards. Love how you stencil colored the flowers. So beautiful!
The two floral coloured cards (whether with alcohol markers or stencilling) are just lovely, Therese … so soft and fresh! Oh my, your black, white and gold poinsettia against the gold and dotty washi … wow … or rather WOW! Stylish, chic and so stunning … what a beauty! Hugs, Anita 🙂
Your cards are just beautiful. Those stencils really make coloring easy…like you spent ages working on them. And your poinsettia card is so striking…gorgeous in black and white. Thanks so much for the ideas.
A gorgeous trio of cards! I’ll watch your video tomorrow! The big Poinsettia is so beautiful.
For me, you can’t go wrong with pinks and purples! I was surprised how much I liked the black and white poinsettia, though!
