Kit and Clowder Skin & Hair Class

I just finished The Skin and Hair Class at Kit and Clowder.

This is the best Copic Class I have ever taken.  All Classes include step-by-step videos, feedback and written documents.  


You can see my before and after coloring. 

Here is my final assessment image. 



I'm now going to take the Clothing class and All about Animals. 

This is how I store my Copics, 2 La-La Land Copic Storage Holders and 1 Copic Wire holder.

Dress Shaped Card

Be sure to visit the Cutting Cafe Blog on the 7th and 21st of every month for our design teams inspirational post in which by leaving a comment you will be entered into a drawing to win 3 FREE sets of your choice from the online store. 

This weeks assignment was any one of the following:  Dress Shaped Card 2, Dress Shaped Card Template or Fun with Dress Forms.   I chose to use the Dress Shaped Card 2 file. 

I cut the Dress Shaped Card, the one piece dress, the belt, the ruffle and the top of the 2 piece dress.  I embossed the top part of the dress with an Anna Griffin lace embossing folder to make it look like a sweater and added pearls.



I added glitter to the ruffle and die-cut a flower out of felt and added a larger pearl to the center.



This card is really cute for any female birthday, little girl birthday, Mother's Day, etc!

Thanks for stopping by.

POP-UPS!!!

Be sure to visit the Cutting Cafe Blog on the 7th and 21st of every month for our design teams inspirational post in which by leaving a comment you will be entered into a drawing to win 3 FREE sets of your choice from the online store. 

This weeks assignment was "use whatever set you want"!  I had been wanting to use the pop-up cards, so I used the Assorted Pop Up Cards Template.

I used the Cupcake pop-up and the candle and flame from the cake. 
 

I cut a doiley out of vellum to look like the cupcake was sitting on a pretty napkin. 


I used glitter on the flame and chunky glitter for the sprinkles. 


Here you can see the tab, before the cupcake is attached. 

My niece loves Sloth's, so I did a print and cut picture of a Sloth for the front.

BOWS, BOWS and BOWS!!

Be sure to visit the Cutting Cafe Blog on the 7th and 21st of every month for our design teams inspirational post in which by leaving a comment you will be entered into a drawing to win 3 FREE sets of your choice from the online store. 

This weeks assignment was to use the Gift Bow Template.   



I chose to make a bow for a Christmas present!  I used the same paper stack as the card I made, so that it would all coordinate together.   


I hung the card on the gift bag, didn't want to "hide" it in an envelope. :)
One thing that I really like about makeing your own bows is if you have paper that you wouldn't normally use, make a bow out of it!  Once the strips are cut and you put it together you loose the pattern and really just see the colors of the paper.  Try it!!
