Copic Marker Class Sunday, June 26th

I am a Copic Certified Instructor and offer a monthly Copic Marker Card Class on the 4th Sunday of the month at Debras Cottage in Costa Mesa. This month I am using stamps from The Greeting Farm, Inky Antics and House Mouse. While designing these cards I selected a variety of markers and tried to only use color with the ones I had selected. This shows even with a limited number of markers in your collection you still can create great cards!

Not sure if it is the user or the computer but having a devil of a time uploading photos so sty tuned if you would like to see what we will be creating they are on display at Debras Cottage or I would be happy to send you an email with them. Drop me a note u.stamp@yahoo.com and I'll get them off to you. The class offers 3 cards for $23. Please sign up with StampinEJ or myself.

Glitter Class

This Saturday I will be teaching a class with Bessie at Debras Cottage in Costa Mesa. As an introductory special we will be offering 2 bonus cards so you will make 6 cards for only $25! You will do a variety of different techniques!

While I struggle to upload the pictures if you would like to see the cards they are on display at Debras Cottage in Costa Mesa or I can email you the picture.

Monochromatic Card

If you like purple this just might be the card for you! Using a Penny Blank stamp (seen to the right of the card.) Purple cardstock was used for the base of the card and to stamp on. The background paper is an adhesive glitter paper that is incredible! It cuts, punches and even goes through the Cricut without creating a mess. It is available in 15 colors and Eva has it all! The sheer ribbon in purples is from PineCone Press. Normally I would pass on the purples but what can I say I love it. StampinEJ (Eva) is located within Debra's Cottage and if you haven't been there you need to check it out! Located in Costa Mesa at 2777 Bristol Street 92626. I have so many fun things to share with you so come back soon. Thanks for stoping by, Shari

Happy April Fools Day!

Aren't these cards fun! This was a recent Copic Card and Technique Class at Debra's Cottage. The students made 3 cards and had the option of adding on an additional card (the front pink one.)

Besides the basic Copic Marker Class students also used Lavender Flower Soft on the lilacs in the basket card (upper right corner), did paper piecing with the bunny in the flower pot. Both stamp sets are by Hero Arts. The pear card and the pink card in front gave the students the opportunity to use Elizabeth Craft Decals and Micro Glitter and add color using their Copic Markers! While the class already occurred you can get any of the supplies you need by visiting Debra's Cottage!

Lots of changes in this past year with Stampin Up, their color groupings and they are back to 1 Big Idea Book and Catty! They will still have Mini Catalogs and Sale-A-Bration just ended yesterday! Lots of cards and things to share so over the next few days and weeks we'll catch up. So keep checking back! Shari
