See how to customize a coffee cup sleeve with a Fall Pumpkin Spice theme stamp and funny phrase, “Coffee because adulting is hard!” As the weather gets colder, it’s always nice to cozy up to a cup of coffee or hot chocolate.

In this video, Lori stamps with StazOn Pigment ink pads and colors with a variety of All-Purpose Inks. This lovely craft project is perfect for a weekend crafternoon and preparing for a pumpkin spice latte coffee date.

Beginner Guide: Kaleidacolor Ink Variety of Colors for Any Time of the Year


kaleidacolor swatching video

by LeeAnn McKinney

Greetings crafty friends! In this quick ink swatching video, I used the Waffle Flower Swatch Stamp and Die set for Kaleidacolor Ink Pads to show how these multicolor inks can be used throughout the year. These dye, water-based inkpads are a favorite of mine for fun quick backgrounds, easy stamp pad storage, keeping colors organized and the 5 colors in one ink pad make it even better.

Kaleidacolor in Baby Powder has a light pastel variety — perfect for baby shower invitations with light pinks, blues, and yellows. Kaleidacolor in Autumn Leaves and Vineyard – perfect for Fall themed cards – Halloween + Thanksgiving. My favorite for Winter Christmas Cards or Holiday Cards is Blue Breeze which is an all-blue palette giving that icy winter wonderland mood.
