Copic love, a {fabby} carry case & a giveaway!

I was very happy when this project was selected for a special feature on the new 12 Copic Sketch colors to be discussed in the September/October issue of Paper Crafts Magazine.

Little Witch is from one of my go-to whimsy companies, Whiff of Joy. (Several people have emailed me in the last month or so for her name and company source, and I see when I grab the link that she’s out of stock. Plenty more similar cuteness, though, so if you like Little Witches style you might take a peek.)

One thing about the great people that I work with at Copic Marker is that they leave no stone unturned when they are offered ideas to help people enjoy their Copic Markers even more than they currently do. Case in point…take a look at this:

When I take my Copics on the road, I’m always grappling with ways to transport and keep them accessible. Love this new carry case. It’s pretty, functional and well constructed.

Here it is full and open. Your markers are held in these convenient mesh bags that allow you take out a few at a time and still keep everything left inside the bag pretty tidy. It will hold 380 Sketch Markers!

If you currently use the hard plastic cases, this is a great case to hold those, as well.

The case measures (from the outside) 16″ x 10″ and it’s just at 7″ deep. This is a soft-sided case, but the walls are reinforced and very sturdy, and the whole thing weighs just 3 1/2 pounds with the padded shoulder strap. Great design and beautiful quality. LOVE for Copics on the go.

How would you like to WIN ONE?

Copic is proud to partner with Splitcoaststampers the entire month of October for their annual Hope You Can Cling To campaign for breast cancer awareness.

Splitcoast is hosting daily challenges through the entire month of October, and asking members of the paper crafting community to create cards in support of cancer patients and their families and mail them to national partner MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX. Copic Marker is pleased to offer FOUR of these great new Copic Coloring Cases as prizes for four lucky participants in the Hope You Can Cling To campaign. It’s a campaign of the sweetest type–you have the opportunity to color, spread a little hope with your handcrafted cards and be eligible to win!

You can find general information for the Hope You Can Cling To campaign, including information on how to play and a handy tracking sheet to keep track of your entries, here. You can find a master list of the challenges presented thus far right here. It’s updated daily for new inspiration, and there are a variety of themes, so participation easy. And, just in case you aren’t familiar with Splitcoast, it’s a free paper crafting community where thousands of card ideas and tutorials are shared in the galleries and their resource archives. It’s a fun place to be. You can find the details about Splitcoaststampers here. You can sign up for your free account and start sharing here.

I HOPE you’ll find a few opportunities to color and participate with me this month. We’ll announce our *FOUR* Copic Coloring Case winners the second week of November! Good luck!
