Home / Unlabelled / Copic Marker Hermit Crab Card

Copic Marker Hermit Crab Card

I've been so busy over at You Tube, I've forgotten to update my blog.  I'm really finding it easier to film a video than to explain how I made a certain card.  I will try to remember to update my blog each time I add ayou tube video.  I upoaded two today.  One is showing how to make a mini milk carton & the other is a TeePee card with Copic colored fish & hermit crabs.  Check out the TeePee video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdj5jEBdYeo
I really lie making the TeePee card.  It came out looking much more complicate than it really is.  It is just 3 pieces of 6" x 6" paper scored in half.  Then you attach the three pieces so that the points are at the top of the card.  Hold it all together with a piece of velcro & you have a spectacular card.  It does take a bit more to decorate.  After all, you need to decorate three sides.  I realy think it was worth the extra time to decorate.  I have several views of this card so be sure to check them all out.  Thanks,  JIL

About Jil Lebel
I'm Jil Lebel from Kissimmee, Florida. I'm about 20 minutes away from Walt Disney World and take full advantage of that fact by visiting the parks all the time. I've been married to the love of my life Joey for ten years now. We have two grown sons and several cats and dogs. I started stamping about 25 years ago when I was pregnant with my first son Kane, when I worked in a craft store. I learned how to heat emboss a rubber stamped image over a toaster and I was hooked on card making! I was on the Posh Impressions Design team many years ago. I did samples, make and takes, demos and classes for many stamp stores in Central Florida. I love to work with a little bit of everything but all types of water coloring are my favorite. I have had a long love affair with Ai stamps. I bought some Ai watercolor stamps to make faux postage in the early 2000's and now I have the entire watercolor collection. I also love the humor and animated faces of the Ai characters and look to them for funny cards. I am delighted to be a part of the Ai design team!
