iCopic Weekly Challenge #70

Hi everyone! Samantha here with this week's challenge!  This is the iCopic Weekly Challenge #70.

The Challenge: Animals
Color an Animal with your Copics and use it on a project: your animal can be a stamped image, hand drawn or anything else so long as it is colored with Copics! Show us your best animal coloring.

 To join this week's challenge just add a direct link to your challenge project below. Projects are due on Sunday, February 26th at noon PST. A winner will be chosen at random to receive this week's prize. The winner and top 3 picks be showcased right here on the iCopic blog Sunday evening!  We will also announce our weekly commenting winner too (chosen at random from all the comments left on the blog this week, so be sure to leave us some love)!

We're adding a NEW RULE starting this week, because we want our challenges to be for iCopic customers and loyal fans. All challenge projects must be newly created JUST for the iCopic Challenge. You may enter your project into additional challenges, but excessive challenge pile-ons (more than 7-8 additional challenges) will be removed and not eligible for our prize or top 3.

This week's prize is a special $15 gift voucher!

Tilda with Daisy

For today's project I decided to go with another One Sheet Box decorated with a simple little tag to go with a birthday gift I'm delivering tomorrow.  Who can't use a bit of chocolate on their birthday?!

I posted a tutorial to make on One Sheet Box recently....so I will direct you there for the directions.

For today's box, I colored Magnolia's Tilda With Daisy stamp with Copic Markers: 
Flower/Dress BG49, BG45, BG70, B00, B0000
Hair E59, E57, E31
Skin E00, E02
Shoes W7, W5, W3, W1
Flower E38, E32, YG17, YG25

I used a K&Co tag I had handy, and added some white gel pen accents.  I fussy cut Tilda and popped her up on foam tape for dimension.  Some coordinating seam binding finishes my tag. 

Tilda is one of about 103 Magnolia images!  Lots of CHA goodness is arriving in the iCopic store...be sure to stop by and take a peek!

Hot Cocoa For Two Treat Box

Hi everyone! Samantha here and I want to share the little treat box & matching card I made for my husband for this past Valentine's Day. I think this would be a perfect little anytime treat box to share with a friend, family member, neighbor, etc.

It is a hot cocoa treat box, built to hold two hot cocoa packets!! I only has Nestle & Swiss Miss in the house, but both of them will fit this treat box. I am guessing other packets would fit in here also :)

To make this treat box:

1. Cut pieces of cardstock the following sizes: one piece at 3.5X12inches and two pieces at 5.5X3.5
2. (Scoring guides are at the very end of this post if you need a visual of the scoring). Score along the 12 inch piece at the following: 5inch, 6inch, 11inch. Fold along score lines. This piece will be the outside of the treat box. The outside of the treat box can be decorated as desired.
3. For both of the smaller pieces: Score along 3 sides (two sets of score marks on the 5.5inch side) at 5/8inch and 1inch. Trim off the corners where all the score marks cross and fold into 3sided "pockets". The front of these can be decorated with patterned paper like shown (patterned paper was cut to 3.25X2.25inches).
4. Attach pockets to box. Punch holes for twine. Fill with hot cocoa packets and tie the box closed with the Orange Divine Twine.

Here is a closer look at my coloring. I used this adorable image from CC Designs called Kiki La Rue Latte.

I used the following Copic colors:

• For the lightest part of the cup: E40, E41, E42
• For the darker band on the cup: E44, E47, E49
• For the heart: R29
• For her hair: E30, E33, E39
• For the clothes: YR000, YR00, YR01, YR12
• For her skin: E000, E00, E01

Here are the scoring guides in case you are a visual learner :)

Dotted lines are score lines and arrows indicate which direction you start scoring from. Solid lines are cuts. The grey parts are cut away.
