Merry Christmas and S'more . . .

Well since I took that Copic Marker Class. . . I have to color!!! So Jillian will probably be designing MORE images!
This image is from S'more Wishes! Love that little face of his!

I used the Emerald Cut {die}mond die to make a cut out in the card, then also used the larger one layered with the smaller one to frame the outside of the card, showing the S'more on the inside.

Used a Sizzix embossing folder for the plaid.

The bow is from our new 3D{ie} Bow Die Set that will be to us soon!!! you can pre-order it with Free shipping HERE! using Red card stock, Swiss Dots Cuddle bug folder topped with a button and Cherry Divine Twine.

I used the sentiment, stamped in Love Letter Memento Ink from Holiday Zipper, which is an awesome set for Christmas cards even if you don't own The Zipper {die}vice! It includes an outside sentiment and an inside sentiment! Along with French and Spanish holiday phrases too!

Inside of the card is stamped too!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Blessings,

Bunny

Copic Card Class

So Jillian has wanted Copic markers since before she started her stamp company. Due to the price I always resisted! $7 markers for a 9 year old was a bit much!

But now that she is featuring images on some of her stamp sets, I decided I had better learn how to "color" again!

Melinda Gleissner from My Noteworthy Cards, is an instructor at our local scrapbook store, Scrapbook Art in Columbus Ohio.
This week she did a Basic Copic Class featuring Jillian stamps so I couldn't resist!

She designed all the cards shown!

Ok, now I am HOOKED!!!
I came home from class and ordered a BUNCH of Copics (LSS didn't have many left in stock!)

So first we learned how to flick our wrist, then jumped in to blending! What fun!!! I am not a patient person and thought that this wouldn't be for me, but once you see the personality developing, you get hooked!

She designed these cards as well as already had them stamped and ready to go, all we had to do was color and assemble them! Awesome, informative class!

Please check out this link if you are in the area to take one of her wonderful classes!
