Love Machine!
Hi there! Happy Monday to you! We’re pleased to have Sandy Allnock as a guest designer on our blog today! She is such an awesome Copic color-er, so be sure to watch her video in its entirety to get lots of tips & tricks!!
Enjoy!
—————————————-
I’m looking forward to a year full of creative inspiration – so let’s get started today by doing a little laundry, why don’t we?
This little deceptively simple stamp in the Paper Smooches “Squeaky Clean” set can be a star feature on a love card when colored to look dimensional with your Copic Markers. Watch this short video to see two ways to pull that off!
Both images are stamped on Neenah Solar White 80lb cardstock. Copic Colors: R24, R37, R89, W3, W0, W00. And a white Signo pen was used for the highlighting.
The first card made from these colored images is totally clean and simple; the sentiment was heat embossed with clear embossing powder onto a black card base (it’s white inside); the last sentiment was embossed with white embossing powder. Add the washing machine using a little Stamp Runner, and voilá! Easy peasy card for your sweetie!
The design on this second card is a little more complex, using papers from BoBunny’s Natural Necessities 6×6 from the Double Dots line, and some Viva Paper Pen (opal) for the buttons on the washer as well as some additional decoration on the card.
Thanks so much for popping in to see the card – go start the new year off right – and create something!

Love these cards, esp. as my husband does the laundry!
Hey can I borrow him??? lol!
So funny!
Sandy, your cards are absolutely beautiful!! I love the embossing, too!!
Fascinating!
Both these cards are so cute! I am intimidated by Copic coloring but Sandy, you make it look easy!
Give it a try, Barbara – Paper Smooches stamps are super for practicing, because they’re small images, but lots of open spaces to color! Fun!
I enjoy Sandy’s coloring tutorials so much!
Great cards-I love the cool details of the 2nd card. Thanks for the video!
I think that’s my fave, too – after all, I’m the queen of overembellishing. LOL.
Fun stamps. Love the coloring.
LOVING your FUN Cards for today and the AWESOME Video!! ;) THANKS for sharing and have a Fabulous Week!! ;)
Oh wow! I love the first card! :D
Cute stamp and very cute cards!!!!
Love Sandy’s coloring.
Absolutely LOVE that red heart. I love the dimension of it. You are amazing!!!!!:)
I love this cards, there are amazing!
Love both cards Sandy. Your coloring skills are second to none. I simply admire them:-)!!
Love the love machine! Thanks for sharing.
Cute stamp and fab cards! x
Love both!
I like card #2. I like the way the coloring looks like clothes in the machine. Thanks for a great lesson.
Love it !!!
I love these cards and thanks for the tutorial have a great day
Wow, thank you. It’s hard to decide, which one – I love both! I just started with Copic Markers and I’m very thankfull for your tutorial.
Great cards, so much dimension on the hearts!
Love the cards – the hearts really ‘pop’
Love the first card. Enjoyed the video tutorial and the heart colouring is really cool!
While I can appreciate the red-hot washer ( I have some red KitchenAid appliances, and they really heat up the kitchen!), my fave is the black based card. Love how the sentiment starts out dark and gets washed white by love? Maybe reading too much in there, but the washer and red heart really pop! Thanks for the tute, Sandy. You make it took so effortless!
lovely card today thanks for sharing them with us.
great card and video too. TFS !!!
What a great coloring tutorial, thanks for sharing with us.
Love your cards and I really appreciate your tutorial, thanks!
Thank you for the tutorial!
These are so unique & really neat! Thanks for the inspiration!
Both are terrific cards. I would have never used all those different color pens to color with. Thanks so much for sharing this. I can’t wait to smush some colors together and try this. Hope mine looks as good as yours! I love the red washing machine.
WOW and WOW! these are amazing! I’m still intimidated by Copics, but you’ve certainly sparked the flames of inspiration with these two gems!
c
amazing how 3D these look. I was sure the red card was over laid with Crystal effects. what a great tutorial. I like the red machine best! :)
I love this stamp image, You made that heart 3-D without any funny glasses!!
Fun stamps and great cards! ;-)
Great cards, love the stamp set!
Prefer the white background as there is far more ‘pop’ with the image and colors…..much easier to read, too. Great job….maybe someday I’ll overcome my intimidation of copics (after I see your work) and give it a try.
Great cards! Thanks for the colouring tips too – I love my Copics!
Wonderful cards!
LOVE how you made the first card’s heart look like it was “folded over”. Really wonderful coloring
Super fun cards, these stamps are really cute. Thanks for sharing!
Love both cards, but first one is my favorite. Sandy I love your coloring.
Amazing coloring! Thanks for the tutorial.
You make it look way to easy!! Now I have a list of red colors to purchase, thanks to your enabling!! *wink…I love the first card!!
I love the black card the best. It is so simple, it looks elegant. Totally love your colouring in with copics. Thank you for sharing!
That is some super-amazing coloring!!!! Wow. TFS!
