IT’S THAT TIME! December is such a slow month for me in terms of YT that I started a tradition years ago to take the month off from YT videos. I have a HUGE list of to-do’s waiting for me, it won’t be a particularly restful month – but I’m excited to finally get to tackle these things. Lots of long-planned items are gearing up!
But in the meantime, let’s end the year with some bang-up realtime Copic coloring?

There are two bows in this stamp set – one with the more triangular bows…..

And the other more round-y bow!

As promised….I took still photos for a Tiny Tutorial today!

I love watching your projects emerge from a blank piece of paper and have learned so much. I haven’t had as much time to peruse more classes but hope to rectify that. I love your hex chart and use it a lot. I have some Christmas money and want to expand my Copics. The problem is the the fully coloured hex chart that prints out of my printer isn’t true to the Copics that I have. Is there a place that I could purchase a hex chart that has the true Copic colours on it? Are there other Copic charts that can be purchased so the colour I order looks like the colour I get? I currently can’t get put to store to compare the colours directly!
No, if I were to offer a hand colored chart, you have to pay for many hours of wages to make it remotely worth that time.
Wow Sandy! I saw flat stamped bows and you made amazing shining bows of them.
Thank you so much for an other great year of awesome video’s, tutorials, inspiration and a lot of laughs.
Although you have planned a lot during your sabitical month I hope you will give yourself a little rest too.
Have a wonderful festive month, Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year for you and your loved ones. Stay safe my friend and I hope to see you next year (or sooner on IG).
these are gorgeous Sandy!
Dear Sandy – I wish you some extra rest, even though you will be busy. No deadlines sounds heavenly! I will be waiting to see what you have in store for next year. Sounds exciting! Your bows are unbelievably good!! Love this tutorial!!
Have a spectacular Christmas!!

Thank you very much dear Sandy for the last wonderful cards on YouTube for this year. Thank you for everything you do. I will miss you very much. But luckily there is your very well sorted archive, and I watch your videos very often. See you very soon, take care of yourself!
Fan-freaking-tastic! They look like you could just pick them up and place them on a package! Happy Holidays ahead Sandy and I hope all your tags got claimed. If not, I am willing to own another one. I still have the one from many years ago on display in my craft room! Wishing you the best for the holidays and the coming year.
These bows are so real looking, I’m surprised they don’t jiggle when you touch them! And yes, adding dark gray to the centers is scary, but I learned, long ago, “trust Sandy” and I won’t be disappointed. So if I get my bow stamps before Christmas, I’ll follow that color-way exactly and I know my bows may not come out as perfect as yours, but they’ll be close enough to make my family & close friends smile.
Have a great month off, even if you are busy. Can’t wait to see your projects and hear your voice again in January. XOXO!
