When the new stamps came in from Stampavie, I couldn’t wait to stamp them all. So far these are the 3 I finished coloring (with Copic Markers of course) and made into cards. One other that was a get well card got sent to my cousin to cheer her up after a hip replacement. I’ll redo that and share it with you another time. Please enjoy these, and sign up for our Copic class on Dec. 12 if you haven’t already taken it. It really is helpful.
All of these cards used the following products:
Cardstock - The Paper Cut
Designer paper - Creative Imaginations
Markers - Copic
The 1st card also used a border punch from the Martha Stewart Collection
I couldn’t resist sharing this card with you. When the double sided paper came in from Creative Imaginations, there were several “cooking” theme papers. The fudge on this one looked especially delicious. Susan Radcliffe was in the store and said it would be a fun birthday card for one of her friends. We ran with the idea and came up with this one. It reads “AWW FUDGE, ANOTHER BIRTHDAY”! Try it, you’ll like it!
Aww Fudge!

I may be running late, but I’m just beginning to think of the holiday season. When this adorable House Mouse of the month arrived I couldn’t wait to stamp it. Mouse E. Claus colored with Copic markers just matches the new Christmas double sided paper that arrived from Creative Imaginations. Embossing with the Cuttlebug Swiss dot folder gives a snowy feeling to the scene.
Then while in the spirit of things I tried an inchie design with a pine branch. They were showing similar ideas on the inchie website (inchiearts.com). This is a quick easy one if you plan to make a lot of cards.

These are not new or up and coming designs, but iris folding still seems to attract a lot of attention. It looks so difficult, but is actually a sort of “paint by number” process. Cut strips of paper 1″ wide and approximately 6″ long. Fold these in half to have half inch strips. Cut out the design and place the pattern behind the hole. Then use the letters and numbers to fill in with the folded strips keeping the fold towards the center of the design. These patterns are available from www.circleofcrafters.com. We have shrunk them to better fit the standard card. Enjoy!
