Kopy Kat Series No. 2

Kopykat Series

Last year, I started a project that I called the Kopykat Series.  There are many crafters that I admire and respect.  I have scraplifted many projects from some of my Youtube and Bloggy friends.

I watched this video several years ago and it was the video that taught me how to make an Easel card.  I came across the video again on Youtube and decided to share it with you:


EASTER PEDESTAL CARD BY MARY AT CARDZTV

My friend, Susan, from Itsmesusanp, and I "challenged" each other to make a kopykat card just for fun and to have it posted on Sunday.  I quickly remembered Mary's video and decided to duplicate the card.  Here is my version of the card:

I did not have the plaid background paper like Mary used so I decided to use Bahama Blue from Stampin Up for the background paper.  The "Happy Easter", Lamb, and Grass are cut according to Mary's specification from the Easter 2010 card.  Mary used larger pastel colored buttons, but these mini buttons were the only ones I had in stock in my craft room.  I put googlie eyes on the lamb to balance the lamb's face with her body.

Susan should have her post up sometime today.  If you get a chance, check out her post HERE..

Susan and I had a lot of fun playing along with each other.  That is one thing I love about my crafty friends.  Although we live in different states, we are truly "besties" in many ways.

Hope you have a super special Sunday!!!

JUST BE-CLAWS CARD, KOPYKAT SERIES

Hello Everyone!  

It is time to add some projects to my

KOPYKAT SERIES!

So, how many of you love and admire MARY AT CARDZTV??

My sweet friend, Susan, who has a blog with the cutest name that is called itsmesusanp and you can find her blog by clicking on the name above.  She makes the cutest projects and is so much fun!

This morning, Susan challenged me to make a card similar to a card that Mary has made and here is what I selected:

I found the video of this super cute card from a post that Mary made that is dated July 29, 2011.  Here is the link if you would like to check out her video and how she made this adorable card.

Kopykat Series #2

Have you ever come across a blog post that you LOVE, copied and saved it, and did not add the name of the person's blog when you saved it?  The card shown above is a perfect example.  I copied this card over a year ago and did not realize that I did not save the name of the person/and/or/blog when I saved it.  I loved the size of the card, the sketch, and the papers she used.  Since there is not a watermark, I do not know who to give credit to so I have not used this sketch or cut to make a card.

Do you ever do that?  I have seen where someone posts on YouTube that they are upset because someone "stole" their idea/creation and they did not receive credit.

What I wonder is......do you really think it was done intentionally?  I would never do this.  

If anyone of you knows the person/blog that made this adorable card, please let me know in the comments below...I would love to give this person credit.  And, again, I have NOT scraplifted this card....because I do believe in giving credit where credit is due.

Scraplift Series No. 1

So, how is everyone this wonderful fine day?  I am in the mood for Winnie the Pooh!

I watch a lot of YouTube videos and peruse a lot of blogs throughout the day.  I scraplifted this card idea from 

Janis over at Pausedreamenjoy.blogspot.com.  

Check her card out here.

Because I am such a "Kopykat", I decided to have a series of cards I will be making using other crafty friend's ideas!  Doesn't that sound like fun?  I will also link your card/project from my post so anyone can go and see your project and get some inspiration as well!

Janis made a tall card and I chose to make an A2 size card.  Pooh was cut from the Pooh and Friends cartridge at 2.50 inches.  The log was cut at 2.0 inches.  Card base is Recollections cardstock.  Grass was cut from Pooh and Friends at 2 inches and 1 inch.

Sentiment Stamp from "Encouraging Thoughts" stamp set from Mary's Cardz TV Stamps! Click Here to see all her stamps she has to offer. I love them!

The adorable epoxy stickers (inch worm and dragonfly) are from a Jolene's Bugs Sticker set that I purchased on sale at Hobby Lobby last summer.  They are so cute!

You, my crafty sisters, ROCK!  When I started paper crafting in 2009, I had absolutely no idea what to do or where to start.  I have learned so so much from all of you!  Thank you to those who dedicate themselves to blogging regularly, make videos, post projects, compliment us on ours (even if they are ugly) and spread inspiration to others.  I hope your day today is as rich as mine.
