Add 2 cups of cold water and stir.
Divide cherry Jello into glass dishes.
Place in refrigerator to set, at least 2 hours.
MAKE CREAMY BLUE JELLO LAYER:
When cherry Jello is set, or just about set, add the blue gelatin to a large bowl.
Heat 1 cup of water in the microwave for 2-3 minutes or until boiling.
Slowly add boiling water to gelatin and stir for 1-2 minutes or until completely dissolved.
Add 1 cup of cold water and stir.
Place the blue Jello in the refrigerator to chill slightly, you don't want to add warm Jello to the whipped topping.
Add 2 containers of Cool Whip to a large bowl and gradually add the whipped topping to the blue Jello, stirring gently after each addition.
After completely combined, place it in the refrigerator to chill until firm, about 1 hour.
After the blue Jello mixture is set, transfer it to a large disposable decorator bag. **see notes
