A Little Beauty with Copic Coloring


Hi ya everyone Melissa here today, and I'm sharing a special little treat.  I get a lot of requests on my speed videos to describe the colors I'm using and also what I'm doing with my Copics.  I created this card and tutorial for just this reason, to answer a few questions about coloring.  Enjoy the video and make sure to pop over to Whimsy Stamps to pick up your own Beauty by Elisabeth Bell.

Mother day gift with Flower Fairy by Wee Stamps


Hey everybody!!

Today I want to show you the sample project I made with the Flower Fairies by Wee Stamps (availabe HERE):
Isn't she just adorable? The sentiment is part of the set she comes with. the papers I have used are pink cardstock, kraft cardstock and Maja Design Vintage Spring Collection (both the large 12x12 sheets and the 6x6 paper pad have been used). The adorable flowers that I thought matched both the image and the designpaper perfectly are Sweetheart Blossoms. The leaves are from a McGill punch.
The project I created was actually a sliderbox that I created using THIS tutorial by Beate Johns, Beate used a different Spellbinder die though so I had to alter the sizes somewhat. My hidden tag reads "Fijne Moederdag" which means "Happy Mothers-day" in Dutch, I have used this little box to give my mum in law a mothers-day present and she loved it.
A close up of the adorable little fairy from the Flower Fairies set. As always colored with Copic Markers and completely 3D paper pieced.
And the little pieces she was made of.

I hope you will get inspired to get crafting, if the weather at your side of the world is anything like it is here in The Netherlands it's going to be a perfect day for it!

Hugs,

Celebrate

Hello! I want to share a couple birthday cards with you - I hope you will find some inspiration today.

The first one is using the image Candy Land Dreams from Meljens Design available at the Whimsy Stamps Store. I colored the image with Copic markers and added lots of glitter for a festive look. I also used the sentiment from Party Mini Letter Seals and the Double Scallop Border Die all from Whimsy Stamps.


On my second card I used the image Birthday Baby Girl also available at the Whimsy Stamps store. This image was colored with colored pencils and Copic markers. My sentiment is from the Treasured Moments Tickets set and I also used the Ticket Die for a perfect, clean cut. I also used the Balloon Cluster die at the top left corner of my card - I love this die and can be used for different occasions.



                            I hope you have a good weekend and I hope I have inspired you a bit!

Baby Charm!

It appears to be the third Thursday of May already, so it's my turn to share with you all!  I've been extremely aggravated with the weather lately so I've decided to share a project that really made me smile when I created it.

This is the Diaper Shape EZ template and instead of the little edges folding in, I've decided to make a wrap for the entire diaper so you can add that special bling on the wrap!  This little Meljen dragon is just to die for don't you think?

I've used my Stampin Up pencils on this little guy and I'm always surprised how much they make me smile!





INGREDIENTS: 
Image is New Little Baby Dragon by Meljen
Shape EZ Diaper Template
Bazzill Stock
NB Floral Ovals Die
DP is Best Creation Fairy Craf n' craftin
140 lb Strathmoore water color paper
Welcome Baby Die Set Shapeology by Whimsy


 MEDIUMS: 
Stampin Up Water Color Pencils
Ranger Distress Ink Scattered Straw
Studio G Pigment Ink


 EMBELLISHMENTS: 
The Paper Studios Pearl Stickers
The Paper Studio Doodle Hearts embossing folder
Plaid Pop Dots
Stickles


INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: 
   It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.
Agnes Repplier

If you enjoy a good 3D project or just need a special box or bag, stop by the Whimsy Stamps Store available today for my Shape "EZ" product line of Cut templates like bags, boxes, flowers, and cards with tons of add on's! These templates can help you make any project just the way you like it. Over and Over again! The NEW Shape "EZ" cut files are available today!
