colored butterflies, & a GIVEAWAY!!
EDIT: the contest is now closed. Thanks to everyone for commenting & congrats to the winner!!
Hi everyone - I was going to wait to do this post until after I finished a video I’m working on… but I can’t contain my excitement - so I’m just doin’ it.
(by the way, the video focuses on some coloring techniques…like Prisma Colored Pencils & Copics - so stayed tuned)
I love my Copics - and I love things that are quick & easy. So when I saw this technique by the lovely Jennifer McGuire, I knew I had to do it. I stamped a bunch of butterflies using some Hero Arts Cling Stamps and went to town. It’s so much fun to use the Copics & blend colors until you get the result you like.
Now for the real fun…I’m doing my FIRST ever Blog giveaway - the winner will receive these 3 cards below, plus the envelopes. All you need to do is leave me a comment on this post & tell me what you’d like to see MORE of in 2010 on my blog. Lay it on me! Tell me what you’d like to see - do you want a video on something? More info/pictures on a certain technique or product? I’m leaving it WIDE open…so comment away. The winner will be chosen randomly one week from today: Friday 2/5/10. Be sure to leave me your email address or some way I can contact ya!
Also - those envelopes are custom made. I got some questions on what to use for envelopes for 3″x3″ cards. Well, I’ve purchased some through Stampin Up - they are nice. But I also make my own sometimes using my Cricut. I cutout a pocket using the Tags, Bags Boxes & More cartridge - and then just trimmed the upper part of the pocket off, then punched a semi-circle with a 1.25″ circle punch.
Hope everyone has a great weekend. It’s CHILLY up here in MA - so I will be locked in my craft room w/ the heat on full blast being creative. Sounds like heaven to me!

I love seeing all your creations! I’d love to see more sets of cards, using the same material because I always have trouble using up my materials and I end up with a huge stash of leftover pieces.
Hey Kerry!
so every tip would help… i also would love to see more 12×12 layouts the ones you’ve done in the past were gorgeous!
I to love all of your stuff.. i would love to see more copic vids I recently started to purchase them and I’m sort of coloring challenged

Hi Kerry. I just happened onto your site and love it. I think you are great - keep up the good work. Those butterflies are fab!
Beautiful cards!! I would have to agree with the others that said school type goodies. Thanks for a wonderful site!!
I love seeing how you set up your craft sales and ideas for things to sell. Thanks!
Love your ideas, especially the boy robot version… You do not sound horrible either.
You have some really practical, fun things on your website which is what I like. I particulary like things that can bge sold at craft fairs and are 3-D. Your tutorials are very informative and easy to follow and I absolutely love your discussions on how you price iterms. Thanks you
