Stamping Bella Birthday Card

Here's a birthday card I made today using a Stamping Bella stamp, 'giftabella.'  I coloured the image with Copic markers.
When I got home from work tonight, the kids wanted to go to the 'craft room' to do some crafts, so while they made some paper towel roll creations, I made a card! :)

Christmas Gift Bags & Birthday Card

I actually got some time in my scrapbook room tonight and worked on a few things! I made a couple little Christmas gift bags to put hot chocolate in. These are gifts for Paige's nursery school teachers. The adorable ornaments are from Hallmark. The gift tags were made by my friend Chantal and were made with a Stampin' Up ornament punch and stamps. The paper I used for the gift bags is from a DCWV Christmas stack. The bags themselves were made using the Plantin Schoolbook Cricut cartridge.
The birthday card is for my aunt and the stamped images are from CC Designs. I coloured the main image with Copic markers. The patterned cherry papers are from Stampin' Up.

Lillith Card

This is my first card that I made using Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. I just love this new stamp line! This card features one of my favourite images, Lillith, who just has the best expression on her face. I coloured the image with Copic markers. The patterned paper is from the Basic Grey Indian Summer line and the buttons are from Fancy Pants. The card design is from the latest sketch on Friday Sketchers.

I am entering this card in two challenges: Kraftin' Kimmies blog and the Friday Sketchers blog.

Fall Pumpkin Card

Here's a simple card I made yesterday. This adorable stamp is from CC Designs and I coloured the image in with Copic markers.

Friday Sketchers Challenge #63

Here is a card I made for this week's challenge at Friday Sketchers.  The stamped image and sentiment are from High Hopes stamps.  I just got these stamps today so I was anxious to use them!  I coloured the image with Copic markers.  The patterned paper is from MME and the cardstock is from my stash (I think it is all Bazzill).  I cut the branch with the Storybook Cricut cartridge.  I also used some yellow skittles.   

Fairy Card / Flower Stand Card

Here are two more cards I made tonight.  The fairy card is made with a stamp from CC Designs and is coloured using Copic markers.  The girl at the flower stand card is made with stamps from High Hopes and is also coloured using Copic markers.  The flower stand card is the one that I didn't get finished at a card class at my LSS last week, so I brought it home to finish, and changed it up a bit.  

Copic Card Class

Tonight I went to my first Copics class at my local scrapbook store. The focus of the class was on colouring in stamped images with Copic markers. I didn't learn too many new techniques, but I did learn about drawing around the outside of your stamped image to make your image 'pop'. I did this on the bookworm bookmark. Of course I also ended up buying more Copics! I am just loving these markers!! All of the cards we completed tonight were made with High Hopes stamps. Their images are just adorable! Here are three of the cards I finished. I have one more that still needs to be completed. I didn't find there was quite enough time to finish all cards in the class. I would go to another class though.... the cute card ideas make the classes totally worthwhile!

Summer / Beach Card

Here is the last card I made using this great little kit I picked up from my LSS. The stamps are by CC Designs and I used Copic markers to colour the stamped image. The little crab is from an EK Success punch which I just picked up today from Michael's. It was on clearance for less than $3!

Another Copic Card

I am lovin' these Copic markers! I made this card tonight, again with the kit from the LSS. The stamps are from CC Designs.

I'm afraid these markers are going to be my newest addiction!!

First Cards Made with Copics

I just coloured my first two stamped images with Copic markers. I just picked up my first set of Copics yesterday and so far, I love them! I'm not very good with them yet though. I have been colouring out of the lines a lot!! I tried to do some shading on the one image, but it didn't go so well! Oh well, I guess I'll learn. I am actually going to take a Copics class this Thursday, so I'm looking forward to it, and hopefully I'll learn some techniques that will make my images look a lot better. Both of these cards were made from kits from my favourite scrapbook store, Scrapping Great Deals. Both stamps are CC Designs.
