Using My Copic Markers

Hi Everyone!

I've been busy these past few days working on projects for the upcoming release of A Homespun Affair. In the meantime, I've been practicing coloring using my Copic Markers on a Tilda stamp. I REALLY enjoy using Copic Markers! For her skin, I used the colors E00, E11, E13, E21. Although I know I need more practice, I'm quite happy with the results!

The scallops and the border are from the Art Philosophy cartridge from Close to My Heart. I used silver Stickles on her wings. The paper is from the Lucy Paper pack from Close to My Heart. The sentiment also comes form CTMH. I added some pearls to give more dimension. The ribbon is from my personal stash.

I hope you have been inspired to create! Happy Crafting! ♥

Blog Makeover; Artiste & Art Philosophy Projects

Hi Everyone!!! Today I am revealing the new look of my blog! I want to thank Sarah of Designs by Sarah for making my blog sooooo super cute! I LOVE it! She is super easy to work with and her prices are reasonable! Find her page on Facebook Designs by Sarah to find out more information about how you get your blog to look beautiful!!!

I've been busy crafting in the mean time. The first project is a card using cuts from the Art Philosophy Cartridge. 

The card base is a Kraft paper from Close to My Heart. The paper is from the Lucy paper pack (retiring). The butterflies and oval cuts are from the Art Philosophy cartridge. The sentiment comes from the Thoughtful Tidings stamp set, also from CTMH. The ribbon border is from my personal stash.

This next project is an exploding box. I enjoy making exploding boxes. The concept is similar to the one I created for our newsletter A Homespun Affair. This was cut from the brand new Artiste cartridge at 3 inches. I love that this cartridge has so many 3D objects that are great for parties and home decor. 

When you take the lid off, the box "explodes" outward. What I like about this box is that it is large enough to put a lovely surprise inside! The stamping around the box comes from the Love Life stamp set. The flowers and the butterfly on the lid both come from the Artiste cartridge. I added mini pearls on the stamped swirls around the box. The ribbon around the lid is from my personal stash and the paper comes from the Lucy Paper pack.

If you are interested in purchasing any one of these cartridges, visit my website HERE!!! I'm still offering free shipping until the end of August. And stay tuned for more projects featuring both Artiste and Art Philosophy! 

Flower fold card; New cartridge coming soon!!!

But once you untie it...
