Copic Marker Scrapbooking - Love Fest

Kathy Zaban has designed another great set for Copic Marker Scrapbooking. It's a Valentine's Day set and so adorable. I picked a couple of them to make these cards, but you can check out all of the design team's inspiration at Making Our Mark. Stop by and check them all out!

I used my Copics (what else?) to color these images. The top card is made with DCWV papers, American Traditions ribbons, and the scallop border punch and sentiment stamp from EK Success. The cupcake card is a tri-fold card with a Cricut cut oval flower cut twice and folded over the edges of the folds. I added a little ribbon and some little glitter pen details to highlight. The inside sentiment stamp is another EK Success one. All the papers on this one were just from my stash of scraps.

I will be entering the "I just love you" card into the following challenges:

Stamps R Us Challenge - Valentine / Love

Paper Makeup Stamp - #21 - Digi Makeover - Be My Valentine

Paper Sundaes - #105 - Valentines

CYP 94 - Color Bingo - Limited Runs

Craft Your Passion has a new challenge! We are trying something new... Color bingo! I picked the green, brown, blue combo for this adorable image from Limited Runs. Isn't he just too cute? I colored him using my Copics, but left a lot of white space and less blending than normal. I kept the card simple this time around, using some cute papers from my stash, some cork paper, and a craft card background. The tig is real, from my front yard tree and the sentiment is from Hampton Arts. The banner is hand cut from scraps and strung on some cute yarn that looks a lot like bakers twine. I finished the card with some thin black outlines on all the layers, giving it a final detail.

Delicious Doodles - #8 - Extravagant Christmas

Delicious Doodles has a great challenge going - it's over-the-top, embellished to the hilt, extravagant Christmas time! I had such fun decorating these great images from Teri of these Christmas ornaments... Went on glitter and gem overload!!! LOL The base of the card is red glitter paper, with a Cricuit cut oval laid on top of some fun gold net ribbon. I colored the baubles with ... of course ... my Copics, sprayed them with some homemade glimmer mist, then adnorned them with more glitter and rhinestones. Felt Christmas bows top them for the perfect finishing touch. My sentiment is a Cloud 9 stamp with handwritten wishes. The corners are another Cricut cut with a glitter pen highlight and another gem. To add the final touch, I made my own stick pins and stuck them in for good measure. All in all, a pretty heavily adorned Christmas card that will probably need to be hand-delivered instead of mailed...hehe!

So, how much can you put on a Christmas card? Take the challenge... I bet you can do a great job!
