Love Tag

Written by Ash. Posted in Uncategorized

Hi! It’s Linda here, and I want to share a tag I created using the new SP & Company stamp set, ‘Artsy Heartsy’. Here is the set.

I absolutely love the various textures of the hearts; I would have to say the ‘hounds tooth’ is my favorite. There also are five sentiments which make this a great set for creating valentines, gift tags, and decorative elements for scrapbook layouts. You can see SP & Company stamps HERE.

Here is my tag.

To make the heart flower embellishment for my tag, I stamped the ‘wavy’ heart four times on white cardstock. I cut the hearts out with a Spellbinder Nestabilities, adhered them to a circle, and then adhered the circle to a scalloped circle. I used Memento tuxedo black ink to stamp the hearts just in case I decided to color them with Copic markers.

The ‘dotted’ heart on the clothespin was stamped on pink cardstock and cut out.

This photograph shows the ‘cross-hatch’ hearts that I really like also. 
Well, I’m off to stamp more hearts and make more tags. Hope you have a creative day. Stay warm! Linda

Love Edward Card

Written by Samantha Peyton. Posted in Uncategorized

Hi everyone! Samantha here, bringing you a valentine’s themed card. This one features SP and Company stamps AND my favorite stamp from The Greeting Farm – Edward!! I am a Twilight fanatic and this little guy is just oh so cute!

I colored Edward in with the following Copic colors:

  • For the hair and eyes: E31, E33, E35, and E37
  • For the skin: E00
  • For the shirts: Y15, Y17, and YG23
  • For the pants: B93 and B95
  • For the shoes: B39

Then I stamped and layered the banner from the SP and Company Pretty Pendants stamp set. In the center of each of the pendants, I stamped the tiny heart from the SP and Company Rain Boots stamp set (the heart is one of the many cute little shapes for you to use to decorate the rain boots!!). On the very corner of the banner, I used a black Copic Multiliner SP (SP multiliners are refillable!) to draw a line and a bow to extend the banner across the entire card.

And finally the sentiment was stamped from the SP and Company I Love Love stamp set.

The following Stampin’ UP classic inks were used: Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, and Pretty in Pink.

The black ink is Memento Tuxedo Black

Tuesday Tips and Tricks: Experiment with Airbrush

Written by Samantha Peyton. Posted in Uncategorized

Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday and welcome to this week’s Tuesday Tips and Tricks lesson!

If you take anything away from this segment today, I want you to remember that you can airbrush any way that you want!

Sure airbrushing is great for masking, making sunsets, adding backgrounds, but there is so much you can do with such a simple method!

So how about experimenting with the airbrush system a bit. You can get very different results depending on a few factors including, how much air you allow to escape from the nozzle, how far the tip of your marker is pushed inside the marker holder, and the distance the nozzle is away from your surface.

Don’t be afraid to try new things and see what you can come up with.

For instance, I used two different colors of blue to create the chilly effect on this winter snowman image:

Some of the airbrushing looks smooth, while some of it looks splotchy. That is because I varied my technique when I was airbrushing!

If you are afraid of ruining a project, then test out some different methods on some scrap paper and see what you can come up with! You can do so much with the airbrush system.

Tuesday Tips and Tricks #3

Written by Samantha Peyton. Posted in Uncategorized

Hello everyone!

Today, I want to give you a SECRET for blending! This is one of the biggest and best tips you will ever get about Copic Markers. . . are you ready?

LIGHTER blends out DARKER!
Some of you might already know this useful tip, but this is absolutely fundamental to any Copic use. What I mean but this is, when blending two colors together, you need to do your blending with the lighter color you are using.

This tip can also come in handy when you are trying to add a highlight to an area AND when an area on your project turns out darker than you intend.

Let’s look at an example. This cute little gingerbread man stamp is available in the iCopic store TODAY  SP & Company – Cutest Gingerbread Man Stamp Set.

For coloring his little cheeks, I used this tip: LIGHTER blends out DARKER!. I colored in the cheeks originally with RV04, thinking it would match the adhesive pearls I used to accent the gingerbread man. Well it came out way too bright, so I went over it with RV02, which is lighter.

The result was a tint in between the two tints of pink! and Voila, the cheeks match the adhesive pearls!

I colored in the rest of the gingerbread man with E33, E35, and E29.  E29 was used for the darker accent areas, since it is a darker brown.

Here is a photo of my finished layout! Notice the decorative stitching around the edges? That stitch work is actually FAKE!! It was made by a stamp from the SP & Company – Stitchery Doo Stamp Set which is now available in the store.
