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!

Strike a Pose!

Strike a Pose!

I am so excited to show you Jillian's brand new die set!  We were trying to wait for them to come in to release it but just couldn't hold the excitement any more!  This set is available for pre-order, shipping Mid June.

{die}velop Foto Frames & {die}alogue Bubbles Die Set

Here is a card I made using it . . . 

 This cool Kraft and Zebra print card is from Canvas Corp!  I die cut the Foto Frame in white and used Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Old Paper to distress it.  Girl and sentiments were stamped in Black Archival ink and then flowers in her hair, were colored with Distress Markers in Worn Lipstick, Fired Brick, Spun Sugar and Peeled Paint.  The flower and leaves were cut from the Cricut Mother's Day Cartridge {I use it a lot!} in Worn Lipstick and Spun Sugar Coredinations paper, leaves from Pine Needles.  Sprayed each individual item {foto frame and flowers} with Perfect Pearls mist in Perfect Pearl.

Want 2 Scrap Black Baby Bling on the dot of the Smile

and Silver Baby Bling in her hair.

Girl stamp from I am my Hair stamp set 

Strike a Pose sentiment from {die}velop Everyday Fotos Stamp set {on pre-order also}

Smile is from the Quatrefoil Background stamp set.

Hope you love my card as much as I do!  This set has unlimited possibilities!

It is perfect for those scrapbook pages too!

More stamp sets are also planned in the future to coordinate with this set!

Wedding Wishes!

Funny how I did my card and Jillian and Ruby and I never saw each others cards and they are similar cards ~ great minds think alike!  The fun thing is to see the different color schemes and how different they make the cards look!

I used a white card base for my card

stamped it with the Quatrafoil Background stamp in Jet Black Archival, then added Crimson hearts from the {die}vine Wedding Cross Stamp set.  The scripture for the background of the cross was stamped in Snowcap Adirondack and the Wedding Wishes and border is in Jet Black Archival all from the {die}vine Wedding Cross Stamp set.

The cross is from our {die}vine Cross Combo die set and so is the flower!  

Cut 12 petals and use a stylus to break up the paper a big, inked the edges and glued them to a small circle for the base, cut three leaves in green the added Want 2 Scrap bling to the center!

Thanks for joining me today!
