Sketchy Peach Coffee!

Come and join me over at the Three Room Studio’s Fourth Room page over on Facebook.  It’s a fun space to share all the Three Room Studio fun!

Every Saturday we have a brand new challenge for everyone to be inspired by.

The last three challenges were a colour palette challenge, a coffee challenge and a sketch challenge.


Our colour palette was a hue of peachy colours plus a soft green.  For my card, I used the “Awesome Coffee” cup image plus the wreath banner and foliage from the “Skate Sleep Repeat” stamp set.



For the coffee challenge, I wanted to use the “Awesome Coffee” stamp set of course!  Instead of making the coffee cup image an opaque cup, I chose to design it as a clear cup; hence the cold coffee with ice cubes.  I also used the shelf and books from the “I Heart Books” stamp set to enhance the back ground.


Our sketch, designed by yours truly, has lots of different panels. I used the “I Heart Books” stamp set and some of the images from the “One More Chapter” to include in some of the panels.

So come over to the Three Room Studio’s Fourth Room Facebook page and join in the fun!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Howdy all!  I’m Allison Cope and it’s almost St. Patrick’s Day so I thought I’d share a fun themed shaker card with you today.

I used the adorable new “St. Patrick’s Day Cat and Hat” digital stamped image for my card creation.


I had fun coloring in this sweet little putty-tat with Copic Markers.

I used lots of shiny things on my card, including some of my own foiled shamrock back ground paper.


I had actually filmed the entire card making process but somehow my files became corrupted and I couldn’t retrieve them.  So sorry!  Hopefully next time!

Don’t forget to check out all the wonder digital stamps in the shop!  There’s new images being added regularly!

Hoping you had a wonderful and creative week!

Fluttering Butterflies

Welcome to Inspire Me Monday!  I’m the host over on the Power Poppy Blog today.

Today we’re going to color up some clear stamp images and create a fun interactive card (my favorite!).

For today’s project, I used:
  • stamps, ink and corresponding dies
  • coloring utensils (Copics)
  • a few pennies
  • 110# white cardstock
  • large & small circle dies
  • small plastic spin & slide discs
  • foam adhesive
  • cloud stencil (optional)
Join me in my crafty space while I color in the 3 clear stamps set images including “Natural Beauties”, “Soothing Sympathy” and “Pure Prairie Spirit”.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3PM9nddvco&t=17s

Here’s a look at the final card.  AS said before, the yellow is so light it’s very hard to photograph.

And here you can see the shimmer pen I put all on the groovin’ butterflies…

 Thanks for stopping by!  I hope your week includes some crafty fun!
