Handmade Paper Hugs

  *ad / reklame*  Hey everyone, I'm back with another card for Wondering Wobbit Stamps /  Nathalie . I used the Valentine Croc set which has a crocodile holding a cactus and 2 separate cacti along with a bunch of prickly sentiments that fits with Nathalie's sense of humor. You'll find the set in her Ko-fi shop .  Again I wanted to let the stamps be the star of the show, so I kept the card simple only adding a few very sparkly gems from Pinkfresh Studio.  Copic combo G09, YG17, YG13 YR24, Y08, Y13 G29, G19, G14 RV69, RV09, RV04, RV02 E44, E43, E42, E40 W3, W2, W1 Thanks for stopping by, and happy crafting!  Tina X 

  Hey everyone! I've wanted to make a post on Copic maintenance - aka Copic Spa day - for a long time, and I'm finally doing it. This is a long one, so grab a cuppa.  Please keep in mind that this is the way I do things and my own personal preferences and opinions. There are many ways of getting around it. If what you do works for you, that's fine too! First things first - WHY should you spend time cleaning your markers? So you've bought your markers. They were expensive in my humble opinion, and now you just want to color. Right? Cleaning takes a bit of time when your collection is as big as mine. Don't get me wrong I totally understand that it seems tedious and a waste of time. But what if I tell you that keeping your markers clean will prolong and improve the use of your markers? Cleaning is essential for all users of Copic markers, no matter how much or how often you use them. The main issue is pigment.  You know how with some markers it's like they leave a ...

  Hej! Jeg laver ellers ikke blog på dansk, men men tænkte at der måske var nogle som kunne gøre brug af det.  Jeg har længe villet lave en blog post om Copic vedligeholdelse - også kendt som Copic spa day - og nu har jeg endelig fundet tid til det.  Det er en lang post, så hent en kop kaffe og sæt dig til rette.  For god ordens skyld gør jeg opmærksom på, at jeg viser min egen foretrukne metode og at alle holdninger er mine egne. Teksten må ikke kopieres eller gengives uden accept.  Først og fremmest - HVORFOR bør man bruge tid på at rengøre sine tuscher?  Du har endelig købt nogle tuscher, nogle ret dyre tuscher i min optik, og nu vil du bare farvelægge. Har jeg ret?  Rengøring af så mange tuscher tager lidt tid og jeg forstår fuldt ud, hvis nogle synes det er langsommeligt og spild af tid. Men hvad hvis jeg siger, at vedligeholdelse af dine Copic tuscher vil forlænge deres levetid og forbedre brugen af dem? Rengøring er essentielt for alle Copic-bru...

*ad / reklame*  Hey everyone, here's a quick card using the beautiful Australian Birds digital stamp from RAM stamps .  Don't forget you can get 10% off using code Tina10 The stamp was released as a Christmas stamp, but I chose to remove the holiday sentiment.  I typically try to stay true to reality in my coloring, so this is my rendition of a Galah, lyrebird and kookaburra.  I colored with Copics, added a sentiment and a few mat gold pearls.  Copic combo RV17, R85, RV34, RV10 C3, C2, C1 E44, E43, E42, E41 Thanks for by, happy crafting.  Tina X

  *ad /reklame*  Hey everyone, there's a new artist in the making creating digital stamps and you all know how much I love digital stamps. So when Nathalie - Wondering Wabbit on Instagram and creator of these adorable stamps - asked if I'd be interested in a collab I had to say yes.  If you don't already know Nathalie , I really encourage you to hop on over and check out her profile. She's a true magician with her pencils 🙌 I love Nathalie's sense of humor and I see it shine thrue in this stamp "Abbi with an I" and the coordinating sentiments. I love this one so much! She's so adorable, even with that big pout. You'll find the stamps in her Ko-fi shop .  I wanted to let the stamp shine and let Abbi be her own Star so I left the card very simple. How cool is that sentiment? It reeks anti-Valentine's and I love it 😂 Copic combo E13, E11, E21, E000, E000 BG78, BG75, BG72 BG70 E79, E74, E71 E59, E99 W3, W2, W1 Thanks for stopping by, and happy cr...
