A fun part of being on Copic Marker's Design Team is having the opportunity to design projects for retail stores. A few months ago, I designed these gift items for a project sheet that is currently hitting Hobby Lobby stores:
On the left is a gift bag (8.50" tall) made by covering a white paper lunch sack, on the right is a 5-inch square gift/greeting card, and in the background is a 4-inch tall pillar candle. All the projects use the same Inkadinkado rubber stamp image (Nest with Flowers #97148-P) and Stampabilities sentiment (Celebrate 03 - #CR1097).
The instruction sheet for creating these projects, using some of Hobby Lobby's 72 Sketch marker colors and other products available at Hobby Lobby, should be hanging near the Copic display at your Hobby Lobby store, or it is available via PDF download here: Download Copic HL Project Sheet Summer low2009-Sharon Harnist. If that file is too large (it also includes the photo) and isn't downloading very quickly for you, try this sheet which is just instructions: Download Copic HL Project Instruct Summer 2009 low-Sharon Harnist.
I also put together a blank Copic color chart of Hobby Lobby's 72 Sketch markers -- to aid you in collecting their selection of colors. It is available via PDF download here: Download Hobby Lobby 72 Copic Sketch Markers-809. To find a Hobby Lobby retail store near you, please visit their store locator page.
All these downloads will also be permanently available for downloading from my Copic Info page. Enjoy!
HOW fun...great projects too....I will have to look out for that in HL here! Wooohoo!!!!
