Embellishment Customization ~
Hi iCopic fans! It’s Alyssa here today with a quick and fun card. First off, I’d like to thank Samantha for helping me out last week. I’ve been going through some rough times here, so she jumped in and covered for me. Nothing like a fabulous design team lead!! Thanks, little lady!
When these tough times come upon us, sometimes we need a quick card to show our appreciation. I decided to use the new and fun SP & Company set, Mix ‘n Match: Family. Such a wonderful and versatile set with a gorgeous swirly font for some of the larger, leading words and a type font for all the members of a family from your grandmother to your niece!
I wanted to use a sentiment as the focal point of this card and was searching my stash for something to alter. I came across these plain white, paper flowers and decided to customize them for my needs. I think I have converted myself to altering embellishments with my Copics from now on!
First, I picked out the designer paper I wanted to use on the card and matched my Copics. I then set about to color the flowers. These flowers have a nice texture, so all I had to do was lay down my lightest color as the base, swipe the medium red up from the center to about the middle of the petal, and swipe the darkest red from the center out just below the medium red. The flower is finished off with some die cut felt leaves and a yellow glitter brad.
The sentiment needed to pop on a simple card like this, so I framed it with a die cut and embossed it. The absolute best ink for embossing sentiments and finer detail stamps is Versafine Onyx Black ink. I use a clear detail embossing powder and never have trouble with beautiful coverage. Some dimensional foam tape pops the designer paper up from the card base and you have a beautiful, customized card for a friend in a matter of minutes!
Before I go, I have to remind you that iCopic is carrying the 12 new Copic Sketch colors introduced at CHA Winter 2011 along with tons of fantastic new stamps! They now have Magnolia, Stampavie, and Lawn Fawn, as well as the adorable La-La Land! Lots of fun goodies and great prices! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a fabulous weekend! :o) lyss
Bookmark Your Page
Hi Copic Fans! It’s Thursday, and time for a post from me, Linda.
My visual candy for you today is a bookmark.
To make the bookmark I used a Miss Anya image from The Greeting Farm’s Miss Anya Collection. These slender images are perfect for bookmarks. iCopic.com carries a wide variety of The Greeting Farm images HERE. The Miss Anya I used came from this collection. Aren’t they adorable!

Birthday Fun Card
It’s Wednesday…you know what that means! Wanda here! It’s my turn to make a project here on the iCopic Blog! Today’s card features the lovely Birthday Anya stamp and a retro color palette with a new shape. I used tons of markers on this one…and I tried a new color of hair. Let me know what you think!
The finished card is about a four inch square. I used the largest size round scallop nestie and then fit the smaller circles inside. I put one gingham circle with the pattern straight up and down (red one) and the other gingham circle on a diagonal (blue one) for visual interest. I crammed a lot of stuff on that little card – lemme tell ya!
These are all the Copics I used on this one!
I tried a new color combination for hair this time, so I thought I would share it. I wanted really soft light golden hair. You’ll see that all of my colors were not from the same color group. I was winging it!
The final result and close up of the coloring:
