I'm showing you these cards because I fell in love with this image and just had to share my love for so many of the Simply B images, (so glad I grabbed her before she retired - cycling just became too much).  I hadn't tried black hair with my Copics and I'm still learning, but I think she came out pretty cute.  I do so like this image.  Take a summer vacation to see a bit of France here..

One of these days, I will go to Hawaii. It's a dream vacation for me. And since our theme this month is vacations, I chose to make a shaker card with a tropical twist!

Here is my project-

I made a shaker card with Hawaii Betty!  I used a My Favorite Things Oval Die to cut into the background designer paper, then used used my Copics to color in a beach & sky, along with Hawaii Betty. The sentiment was cut with my Cricut using the Life is a Beach cartridge, and scraps from my stash.


You can visit me at Just a Nutter Paper Crafter for more information on the materials I used.

A Word from our Sponsors

This month we have the amazing 

Simply B Stamps as our sponsor and Betty Roberts, the owner has agreed to tell us a bit about herself.

How did your company come about?

I had a scrapbook store in 2008 that had to close abruptly due to my youngest son being born pre-maturely. I couldn’t just stay home and do nothing. I got on a Design Team, and had always wanted to be a stamp designer. Even when I was just a store owner I would contact my favourite companies about becoming a stamp designer but was turned away.

 After about a year of being a DT, I took the leap and started my own rubber stamp company with the help of other artists, as I still did not know how to “make” my artwork into stamps. I also thought, no way anyone would ever want to buy my art, so I didn’t have enough confidence to put my own artwork out there YET!  HA!!

How long have you been in business?

I have been in business for 6 years now WHOOP WHOOP

Where can we find you?

What is one of your favourite products and why?

COPICS!  I absolutely love how they bring an image to life!

Where else can our followers find inspiration with your products? Do you have a design
