Sometimes I make videos based on very very specific requests – this Coloring Glass tutorial iss one of those! It may take some time but I do try to do things you guys ask for. Especially from any of my patrons. 😉
Coloring Glass Vases or Jars
There are a LOT of vase and jar stamps out there. And they seem to fall into a couple categories – side views (tops of the jars are perfectly flat), or a variety of angles from above (with an oval opening)….as well they can be straight along the sides, or some rounded shape. In today’s video I show you each of those with this awesome stamp set from Clearly Besotted that I saw just happened to have both kinds of jars – so I bought one to use especially for this video! Watch it below or click HERE to see it in HD on YouTube.
The daisies card uses the straight-edged shape of vase, and the top is the rounded, shown from angle in the drawing. For the window on the card, I used THIS die set from Pretty Pink Posh, and some sweet little 4mm sequins…for some reason I can’t seem to deal with anything larger, I had 6mm on this card and they just seemed to overpower it! The sentiments on both of these cards are from this great border set.
For the roses, I wanted the flowers to be the only pop of color – so I opted for white paste used with a hexagon stencil (what other shape is there? lol ever since the HexChart I can’t stop…haha!)….then added more PPP dies. See those little water drops? Glossy Accents! Love that touch.
Hope this was a helpful tutorial for everyone – it was fun to finally check one off my long list! Wheee!

This is a wonderful video! I used it for inspiration and made a similar one for my granddaughter’s birthday card.
Thanks for the super awesome video! I can’t wait to try coloring flowers in my mason jar now! Today is a full day of free crafting time ~ Woohoo! Thanks so much for all your helpful tips. Your cards are fabulous!
So pretty!
Fantastic tutorial. Thanks so much for sharing. The cards are beautiful.
I gotta say, I’ve become your #1 FAN!!! LOOOVEEE your work and personality!! I think we NEED MORE happy/happiness spreading people in the World!!
I have a “thing” for jars (glass jars, mason jars) just LOVE them!! But I have NO Copics so far. I only have water color markers so I will try this with those! TFS!! 🙂
Oh Sandy,
This video makes me so happy. If I had your dancing skillz (see previous post), I’d do a little happy dance/shuffle, but my talents are sadly lacking in that area (although I could probably managing clapping the stamp pads together)Thank you so much for this video! I’m going to go look through my stamps and find a vase to color! You are the BEST.

Very helpful and the timing was perfect as I am getting ready for my church stamping group this Friday and we are making pop up cards with vases inside.
Yes very helpful! Especially stamping off those stems before stamping over that mask duh! Why don’t I think of something so obvious! Lovely cards thanks so much!
Sandy, thank you! This video is just the tutorial I’ve been needing.
Your cards are always amazing Sandy. You do make coloring look so easy no matter what kind of medium you’re using. I love your copic coloring. I follow your blog and look forward to all your posts. Thanks for sharing your videos with us and for encouraging us to keep trying.
Amazing work as always!
Beautiful cards. Love the water drops of Glossy Accents.
Very informative video, Sandy, thanks so much!
This is why I enjoy watching ,you make it look so effortless.Gorgeous
Thanks for sharing these cards/video/tips. I am trying to build my Copic stash and learn how and I find your videos/tips extremely helpful. Maybe someday I’ll have enough Copics to warrant buying your Hexchart! LOL
I cannot believe today is the day that you post this since just yesterday I bought a digital stamp that look similar to these. I was excited about coloring the flowers, but worried about the water! God heard my unspoken prayer! Now I’m REALLY excited about it!
Also, I’m so excited for you about 20,000 subscribers–but I am NOT surprised!
Thanks for all you do for us!
