The cards are gorgeous! You are not the only one who likes bright colors, and Peanut clearly does too. So he is going to appreciate his “office” all year. Like you I would. Have had to stop and repaint the board in the better colors. If that means I am a perfectionist, I’m OK with that!
Thank you for showing us how you love using background stamps, bright colors, embossing powder, & sentiment can make amazing cards! I hope your son had a great 1st day of school!
It's fun listening to your stories as you do your projects. You explain everything very well and it's good to have the list of what you use, as is usually the case in these video's, but I am always trying to figure out backgrounds on cards.
Beautiful cards! Personally, I think anyone that can do watercolor backgrounds cant possibly be a complete perfectionist because you have to let it go! 😆 I was an 80s child and Rainbow Bright and the Smurfs were HUGE. I nicknamed my Mom Rainbow Bright because she dyed her hair and normally had several colors going on and my Dad was Papa Smurf. My Dad had a drawing done one year for their Anniversary that was Rainbow Bright marrying Papa Smurf. My Smurf passed away last year (my Mom 2 years ago) and I have the picture in my craft room. Its forever my treasure! :)
Thank you, Kelly! I'd send you a picture so you could see it, but I can't via YT and don't use IG. It's precious and the artist did an amazing job! I want to say it's probably 30 years old! :)
great colorful cards!! i think the office thing is a great idea for beginning students!! mommy and daddy go to work and do a good job so no so does the child. i think it would instill a sense of pride and self worth from the get go. it's brilliant!!! i would have done the same thing Kelly!!
Great cards! TFS! As for the office, I would have changed it too, if I did not like it. The only difference is I would have bought more paint, if I could not have found mine. I know I am a perfectionist with my card making and any other crafting I do. I will start over, if it does not turn out the way I want it to. Sometimes, I do have to just have to try to fix or hide any mistakes and try to love with it. That really aggravates me! I worry if the recipient will like it and if they will even notice. No one has ever complained. But I know it’s there.
Great cards and inspiration! Love your stories. Reminds me of when my son brought home two blobs of paper mache. He told the teacher his mom could make them into a teddy bear pinnate. It got done. Hang in there. You are doing great!
You SO MUCH have my personality! I would have done the EXACT same thing with the office! 😂 Thank goodness for the men who love us in spite of our quirkiness! Love the cards!
Love the bold and bright! I never would have thought to use my Zigs 2x to get better, bolder color--great tip. I'd like to know who decided being a "perfectionist' was a bad thing. Some people are lazy; some are not! ;D I hope your son had a great first day of school!
These cards are great....makes me look at all of my background stamps differently. I love that you are a bright and bold color person!! You are not crazy because you want reality to match your vision......especially when you are so capable of making them match! Thanks again for a great video!!
I love the zebra pattern. It reminds me of what I grew up with- Lisa Frank products. They were all the rage when I was in school. Such vibrant pretty colors!
Love these backgrounds! Like you, I don't use mine mine nearly enough. My favorite is the animal print and the one with the scalloped bottom edge. That edge is something I would have done. Love your choices of backgrounds and colors. God bless you Kelly, Eric, Peanut and the rest of the family ❤ XOXO
I have to say that all of the cards are pretty "AWESOME" ! I am a bright and wild woman and that Pink and Purple is my favorite colours, But those all are pretty bright and wild just the way I love them! Out of all the amazing card makers that there is! And I Love them all, Kelly you are Awesome, Amazing, Funny, Real and down to earth, a Perfectionist and sounds like I'm not the only one with OCD and need to have everything finished prefect ; ) I'm going to be getting some of those Background Stamps! And those new Altenew new set of Watercolor Paints, "OH BOY" You would love them! I got the 36 half pan set for $35.99 and they are SOOOooooo Bright and Beautiful and so creamy I'm so in Love with them, You need to get a set of them! Try them you'll love them! Isn't there a Potato Chip that says something like that lol ; )
Cool festive, colorful background cards, and stamps revealed, Kelly! Tfs!! Must tell us about Peanut’s first school day and later on his 100th day in school! 😘✨👍🏾
Absolutely love these stamps and colors!! And btw, I’m exactly like u with certain things too! I helped/fixed/did most of my boys with their projects for school. I remember staying up til 2 am cutting out 2x1 inch letters (traced from a stencil I had) plus extra for a shadow effect (for a 1st grade book report😋) PLUS going over his complete report in a “cool blue” pen over his writing, to have his writing show up better?!!!🥴 Yes, I had/have issues! Lol! I just care, enjoy every minute of the craziness, like I’ve told u before, I miss those days!!! I hope Peanut enjoyed his first day of school!!!😊💗
Kelly, those are gorgeous!! And as I'm here in bed with my sleeping dog & cat (yes, I'm OLD & divorced, so I CAN sleep with my fur babies 😊), I hear you say "rule number one - no, wait a minute.." ...and I start laughing out loud at your conversation! Yep, I woke them both up now, but it was SO worth it! Love your conversations, your wonderful sense of humor and your devotion to your peanut! PS. My daddy called me peanut when I was a little girl. 💗 (He's gone now. And I'm 66)
These are ALL beautiful Kelly! My favorite is the zebra print one, even loved the hearts💙💜 I'm what some would call a perfectionist too, but I'm ok with it, because the alternative gives me anxiety, lol. TFS🤗
Well, now I am thinking I am going to dig out some of my background stamps, from my stash and use them to make bright, fun cards like you did! Oh, and I am totally on the same page with you about redoing the background of Nathan’s office! As you said, “If it doesn’t get done now, it will get done later!”👍🏻
Love your videos!! I keep my background stamps on the backing just take off the pattern side … I put some double sided tape on the back and use in my stamp press then remove the tape from the door of it. No bubbles :)
Beautiful use of background stamps. I love that zebra stripe! I also have to finish or fix projects all the time but like you rarely restart. But how can you not own craft tweezers??!! I use mine all the time not just for heat embossing but adding embellishments and seeing placement of small pieces without my fingers blocking the view. Love your stories tfs x
Great cards love the versatility of background stamps. Hope Peanut has a great first day of school. Can you explain what a magnet man is, is it just a magnet shaped like a man?
Kelly my dear these cards (as you would say) make my heart go pitter-patter. Love me some Rainbow Brite as well, and I do mean love. Not sure how young 😉 you are but I’m about to turn *Gasp* 40. So pretty much anything with that girl on it was what I wanted. So I was hoping to show you, may be I can on another platform, but Hallmark came out with the coolest coloring booking and I kid you not the designs throughout it look just like the swirly waves with stars. Love you and your art. 🤟🏼
As a zebra myself(I have a connective tissue disorder called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, and our "mascot" is the zebra), your zebra background calls to me! 📣🦓.. I have a zebra stencil that I am planning on using some distressed inks with as watercolors to do a rainbow effects.
Oh wow, what a colorful, stunning cards!😍 The one with "hold on" as sentiment is my favorite. Love the geometric design of it. And that the colors are matchy, matchy with the design. You're definitely not the only perfectionist. I can totally understand that you want to paint the office with the colors you want, not just white. If that means doing it again, hell yeah, go for it girl! I've been painting in my house. Did a wooden piece by my stairs already two times, and I still don't like it. So, I'll sand it down again and paint it a third time. Otherwise it will keep annoying me for years to come. Don't think that anyone will see the parts that annoy me, but I want it to be perfect. 😅 Same with card making. If it's not to my standards, I'll try to fix it or otherwise I'll throw it away. Is there a club for people like us? The PA maybe? Perfectionist Anonymous?😂
Hi Kelly, LOVE your cards. I always love your tutorials - you're so good at explaining the details. I'm wondering if you can explain how to make sure that you don't select colors that will muddy with each other? Is there some type of formula or chart or anything that helps break that down? A few times I was working on a project, selected my colors and then when I used them...disaster! Two colors next to each other turned brown and of course ugly! Any tips you can give would be so helpful. Thanks Kelly!!
It's the complimentary colors that make brown. Red-Green, Blue-Orange, Purple-Yellow. You can use them together you just need a buffer color or colors inbetween. Red-orange-yellow-green, Blue-purple-pink-orange, Purple-pink-orange-yellow.
Kelly, thank you for the tip. Not sure how to distinguish what a complimentary color is, but using the colors you listed, that will be a huge help!!! To me if colors look good next to each other, they are complimentary but somehow I don't think that's what you mean!
@@KellyTaylorCards Ahhhh!!! That is super helpful! Thank you Kelly! I printed a color wheel just now so that I know which colors I should not mix together, unless my aim is muddy brown color (which of course it wouldn't be! LOL)
Perfectionist? Nah, im thee same way. I like what I like and itd drive me nuts otherwise. Isnt this "office" going to be in school on his desk? U mentioned ud see it every day? My daughter's school used them only for testing. 2nd-love the cards Kelly😍 especially since I love Rainbows. Rainbow brite came out when i was late teens (yeah i got some sge on u😩) 50 soon! Thanks for sharing,hope peanuts 1st day was amazing!
I get it I made a painting for a friends wedding something about one spot in it bothered me so I wouldn't give it to them..I would have seen it in their house all the time and it would have bothered me

Lovely cards. Peanut and Eric are so lucky to have you. We all have our quirks and that's good as it makes us so much more interesting 😁😁
Thank you for showing us how you love using background stamps, bright
colors, embossing powder, & sentiment can make amazing cards! I hope
your son had a great 1st day of school!
These are so fun, Kelly! I love the bright colors. 💜💙💚💛🧡💖
Ha ha ha!! Yes - repaint!! 🤣 hilarious! Super love your cards and all the fun colors!!!! Hope your little peanut had a great first day!!
I also love bright colors!!! Love all your cards!!

I so think "Lisa Frank" with the zebra one! Love it!! Actually love them all!!

Super bright,beautiful and vibrant Colours. They make me smile, who wouldn’t love to get a card like any one of them 😘🇬🇧
I love all of them! I had to laugh at your strong will not to move while sleeping as to not disturb the dolls! 🤣
Terrific way to use backgrounds!
Beautiful backgrounds Kelly.
These are all so pretty Kelly, I love bright vibrant colours too. These are all very showy, love that!
Great ideas for backgrounds Kelly. Thank you for the inspiration. Hope Peanut had a great first day at school. Sooooo.exciting. 💕
Awesome backgrounds! I love all of the bright colors! I can't wait to hear about Peanut's first day of school!!💕
Hahaha you told him to remind himself that he accepts you and your quirks...using that one on my husband! Awesome cards, Kelly!!!
Me to Mr Fabulous: "I do believe you said for better or for worse."
Mr F: "I didn't know that was gonna mean ceiling paint."
Great cards! TFS! As for the office, I would have changed it too, if I did not like it. The only difference is I would have bought more paint, if I could not have found mine. I know I am a perfectionist with my card making and any other crafting I do. I will start over, if it does not turn out the way I want it to. Sometimes, I do have to just have to try to fix or hide any mistakes and try to love with it. That really aggravates me! I worry if the recipient will like it and if they will even notice. No one has ever complained. But I know it’s there.
Those background stamps are so Cool! My favorite has to be the waves and stars.....Thanks for sharing and by the way, nice tan....
Love those backgrounds Kelly..... and I too love the vibrant colours! Lovely cards.
I like all the backgrounds. The tiger stripe and the diagonal diamond shapes were my favorite.
Great cards! Love the varied colours and the sentiments are beautiful.
Cheers
Lisa
Love these backgrounds and the colors you used 😊
Great cards and inspiration! Love your stories. Reminds me of when my son brought home two blobs of paper mache. He told the teacher his mom could make them into a teddy bear pinnate. It got done. Hang in there. You are doing great!

You SO MUCH have my personality! I would have done the EXACT same thing with the office! 😂 Thank goodness for the men who love us in spite of our quirkiness! Love the cards!

Lisa Frank 4eva!! 😁
Wonderful stamps. Never heard of this company. I love the colors and cards you made. Beautiful. Love the black sentiments.
I am not normally a big fan of background stamps but you might have changed my mind. Love all of these.
I'm amazed at what you come up with
Love these backgrounds! Like you, I don't use mine mine nearly enough. My favorite is the animal print and the one with the scalloped bottom edge. That edge is something I would have done. Love your choices of backgrounds and colors.

Brigjht beauty cards Kelly. Again, here for the cards and the stories.
Love them all!
You might be crazy..so are all us crafters and artists, so you are in good company😉
Awesome use of colors! I subscribed.
I had rainbow bright, starlight, and twink! Lol I still love rainbow bright and I'm 34! 😍😆🌈👱♀️
Love your videos!! I keep my background stamps on the backing just take off the pattern side … I put some double sided tape on the back and use in my stamp press then remove the tape from the door of it. No bubbles :)
That's genius!!
@@KellyTaylorCards I'm basically a newbie at all of this but it worked for me. Dollar tree double sided tape and it comes right off. :)
I really enjoyed your video. Your cards are beautiful. I am glad I found your channel. Rainbow Bright was the best.
I love the backgrounds you made! Wow.....wow.....😍😍😍😍😍 I have many BG stamps but maybe I can’t have too many? Lol
Wonderful cards! Thanks for sharing. xo

Great ideas!
I'd have repainted it too. ;) these cards were simple and stunning!
I love these cards. TBH, I'd probably re-do the office too. That's just the way I roll.
Great cards!!!!!!😻
Great colorful backgrounds. I get the office do over. Don’t know if I’d call that a perfectionist or just knowing what you like and want. Lol
Love the stamped backgrounds. I thought I was the only one who was OCD when it came to having things look just right and coordinate. lol.
Love these x

Beautiful backgrounds. Is there a code needed for bouns ink set?.
Robbin Beverly - No code...it will automatically be included.💜
Awesome cards! ❤️office not so sure about the idea? 🤷🏼♀️
Love love love
When you are an artistic person you just can’t leave something that you know isn’t up to par alone. You must fix it. It’s the curse of who we we are.
very very nice where you buy this embossing
i like so much
All of the supplies are linked in the description (on all my videos) this particular embossing powder was Simon Says Stamp White Fine Detail
Perfectionist? Nah, im thee same way. I like what I like and itd drive me nuts otherwise. Isnt this "office" going to be in school on his desk? U mentioned ud see it every day? My daughter's school used them only for testing.

You live closer!!!! My stamps arrive Thursday!!!!! 😔
Did you get them today, Kelli?
❤️❤️❤️
May we see the office?
It's on my Instagram Disp6194 in the stories
yep, you are a perfectionist, lol
Having high standards is no bad thing! 😋
