Project #1
Featured Products:
- * Kris Lauren Sweater Weather by Colorado Craft Company
- 5 x 7 Matting Basics A by Spellbinders
- 5 x 7 Matting Basics B by Spellbinders
- Copic coloring (see marker list below).
- Additional supplies listed below.
In order to fit all the sweaters and sentiments, I had to go big — 5″ x 7″ to be exact — so this card is larger than my usual A2 sized cards. For the card base, I cut a piece of Neenah Classic Crest to 7″ x 10″ and scored at 5″. Using the 5 x 7 Matting Basics A and the 5 x 7 Matting Basics B die sets by Spellbinders, I cut a piece of Blue Beyond Cardstock by My Favorite Things and a piece of Hammermill Smooth Cardstock as shown.
I stamped the images and sentiments from the Kris Lauren Sweater Weather stamp set as shown using Nuvo Hybrid Ink in Black Shadow and colored the images using the following Copic markers:
- Snowman Sweater: BG10, B00, B41 (snowman); RV25, RV29 (scarf & hat); RV25, RV29, B26, B29, FB2 (sweater)
- Polar Bear Sweater: W0, W1, E30 (bear); RV29, R59, YG06, G05, G28 (sweater)
- Penguin Sweater: C0, C5, C7, C9 (penguin); RV25, RV29, R59 (sweater)
Once the coloring was complete, I assembled the layers as shown.
Project #2
Featured Products:
- * Kris Lauren Sweater Weather by Colorado Craft Company
- Folk Edge Squares by Pink Fresh Studio [ SBC | SSS ]
- Copic coloring (see marker list below).
- Additional supplies listed below.
For the card base, I cut a piece of Neenah Classic Crest to 4.25″ x 11″ and scored at 5.5″. I also cut a piece of cut a piece of Simons Says Stamp Cardstock in Fog Gray to 4.25″ x 5.5″ and a piece of design paper to 2″ x 4.25″ which I assembled as shown and set aside.
For the image layer, I cut a piece of Hammermill Smooth White Cardstock using the medium die in the Folk Edge Squares die set by Pinkfresh Studio. I stamped one of the images from the Kris Lauren Sweater Weather and colored it with the following Copic markers:
- Sweater: R14, R24, R46, R59
- Stripes: YG06, G07, G28
- Belt: Y38, W5, W7, W9

Once the coloring was complete, I stamped the sentiments using Versafine Clair in Nocturne. I applied foam tape to the back of the image layer and finished the card by assembling the layers as shown.
That’s all for me today. Until next time ….
