Suzanne Deans Online Copic Classes

Good evening, I wanted to post something for the weekend. I am taking the online Copics classes offered by Suzanne Dean on Scrapbitz.blogspot.com

If you are interested in Copics at all, I think her classes are worth the money. I skipped Class 1 and went right to Class 2 and have finished Lesson#3 so far. I am definitely learning to fine tune my techniques. Here are two cards I colored a week ago and just turned into cards. I'll post some this week showing progress.

The first one is a stamp by 'stampingbella' called Miranda the Teacup girl. Isn't she adorable!

This second on is another 'stampingbella' called Bessie Lulu. It's done in Prismacolor & Gamsol.

I can't wait for someone to get pregnant so I can use this stamp for them.

It's been raining here, but as of tomorrow it is supposed to head into the mid 70's for the rest of this week. Can't wait to go out and mow my lawn for the first time.

My hubby bought some Huge Pumpkin seeds and is going to try and grow the biggest pumpkin he can. He's got about 20 of our friends doing the same thing. It's unbelievable what all is involved in growing a 200+ pumpkin, but it will be fun. I'll post pics as the summer goes on. Have a great week in whatever you are doing!!!

Hey everyone,

Sorry I've not posted in a week. Had a ton of stuff going on. Myself & 5 friends spent Sunday from 1-8 at Archivers (a scrapbook Superstore for those of you who don't have one in their area). I personally don't like dragging my stuff around. So, I stamped about 10 images on CS and took my tote full of Copic Markers & Prismacolor Pencils and spent my time coloring. That's what I like best anyway. I'm just now getting started turning them into cards. This is one of them. I have no idea who the Rubber Stamp is by. But this is one of my favorite techniques.

First, stamp & color image. Then using punches, punch out flowers and using a stylus and mousepad, shape them and dip into a tiny bit of glue and place on image. After they set, you can embellish them with Stickles (my fave) or little rhinestones. That's what I did to this one as it is all I had with me. I really like the 3D effect you get. All right, that's it for now.


My husband just caught us a mess of fresh Bluegill and we're going to fry them up. Yum!

Scrapbooking all caught up! Cards! Cards! Cards!

Good Morning Everyone, Just a quick post to show some
of my most recent cards. This one is done in Copics. On
her hat I used my Blender pen to take some of the black
off after I colored it to get a worn look.

This is a digi stamp image from http://charmedcardsandcrafts.co.uk/.
The orange BG paper is from Martha Stewarts Bandana Paper Pad.

Aren't these Shy Bears from
SusanandFriends Stamp Line too cute? . This one is done
in Prismacolor pencils and OMS.


I did this Shy Bear in Copics. I try to leave
the sentiments off until I know what I'm going
to use them for.




Have any of you ever had any success selling
your cards? I tried Etsy. Not a single one sold.
I've tried a personal website and had to cancel
it cause it was costing more than I brought in
which was NOTHING!

Would love your feedback on these cards,
maybe what I'm doing that could be improved,
ideas about selling cards?????
See ya later! Prismadonna (Lisa)

Hey Everybody-I'm Here!

2/17/10 I'm new to the blogging. I had created a website, but why pay for a website when you can blog for free. It will take me a while to get everything set up correctly..... I am a cardmaker & scrapbooker and will be sharing my work here. I'm playing around with Digi Stamps right now. Trying to find the exact right combination of paper and ink to use for this. Having to print Digi Stamps with Inkjet Ink is not ideal as on some papers, it smears when you use Copics. I just printed some using Gina K Luxury CS and I'm letting it 'cure'. I'll let you know how it goes.
