Hello Everyone! How are you today? I can’t believe that we already are in day 6. of the challenge. WOW! Well guess what…I have a great GIVEAWAY to announce today after the card that I made for todays challenge.
First I want to tell you that “YOU ROCK”!! AND I MEAN THAT. I love that you all really enjoying the 30 day color challenge and have been coloring everyday. I promise that I will catch up and I am working hard to try and get to each and everyone of your cards. I admit it’s been challenging but, I love a good challenge and it’s inspiring to see what you all are up to.
For this super fun and quick card I glued many pieces of scrap paper together to use as a background with these die cut letters. Here are two other cards using the alphabets from Lawn Fawn. The paint brush stamp is so adorable and you can find it here.
GIVEAWAY!!!
I love die cutting—and I’m always looking for new ways to use my die-cutting machine and dies to make cards. The girls at Online Card Classes felt the same way! Their new class, Stretch Your Dies, is all about discovering new, cool ways to use dies for card making. It’s based on the same concept as their popular Stretch Your Stamps class—each day the class will focus on a different kind of die, so it’ll be easy to find a die or two in your stash to follow along with. The class will have 20+ videos! For more information, visit Online Card Classes.
I’m thrilled to announce that I’m one of the guest artists for Stretch Your Dies! But even better… one of you will get to attend! Just leave a comment on this post by FRIDAY THE 13TH to be eligible. I will announce a winner on Saturday March 14th. Class starts on Monday, March 16, 2015. I can’t wait! And I hope to see you there!
If you have already signed up for the class you win then you will be refunded for the price of the class. Thanks to OnLine Card Classes for letting me give a class to you.
Thanks for your visit today and your patience. Hugs, Kathy

I have enjoyed seeing your coloring each day, Kathy! I have not had time to send my cards to your link as yet. But, I sure would love to win a spot in the class – thanks for the chance. And, keep the inspiration coming!!
Great!!!! Looking forward to meeting you there!! Thanks for the chance!! I love this kind of backgrounds!! I will give a try today!!!! 🙂

Fabulous card, love this diecutting technique 🙂
Great card, Kathy. I love how you offer a mix of inspiration ranging from quick colouring to more elaborate colouring. This is really helping me to get (and stay) crafty.
I had decided I wouldn’t take this OCC class since I still have so many ideas from older classes (such as the Copics and Water colour classes) I still need to explore, but that doesn’t mean I will say no if I should win a free spot in this class. They are always so inspiring!

Awesome card! Love those shades ♥

Enjoying the challenge. Many thanks!

I am so enjoying your 30 day creations! Thanks for the chance to win a place in the ‘Stretch Your Dies’ class.
Beautiful card – have had so much fun with this! And oops! Just noticed that I have probably been over-sharing by tagging on Instagram and linking as well! I’ll cut it down to just one! 🙂 And that looks like a fun class – they are always amazing!
this is a class that I would love to take as I have a limited supply of dies and would love to learn more about using them to their fullest thanks for this chance
What a great card idea and a fun way to use up scraps! I really like the way it turned out.
I signed up for the Stretch Your Dies class as soon as it was announced. For those who aren’t familiar with these classes, they are amazing. I always feel I got my money’s worth on just the first day. Glad to hear you are one of the instructors again, Kathy!
Awww thanks so much Adele that makes me happy to hear you say that 🙂
I’d love to win a spot in the Stretch Your Dies class. I’ve had so much fun participating in other classes; I’m sure this one will be amazing too.
You Rock too! What a wonderful card. Thank you for the inspiration. Online Card Classes rock too. Would love to win a seat to that class. Thanks for all you do!
It’s been fun seeing what everyone has colored for the 30 Day Color Challenge. I’ve been busy and haven’t colored much of anything, but I’ve been inspired by what I’ve seen so far. I’d love to win a spot in this class, thanks so much for the chance to win.
SUPER cute card! Love the texture!
what a rockin’ card, just awesome!! =)
What a great CAS card!
And looks like a fun class, thanks for the chance to win a spot.

what a rockin’ card, just fabulous!! =)
Thank you, Kathy, for this challenge. It gets me to my craft room each day to do something I love, something creative. It’s So easy to let all the “I should be doings” get in the way and not make time for our creative spirits. Love today’s card with the ombré cardstock strips showing through the die cut letters! Very clever. Thanks for the chance to win a space in the die cut class. I would love to learn new ways to use my dies.
Thank you for the chance to win a place in the class. I would really like to try out the OCC, and believe this would be a good place to start. Your card is beautiful!
This coloring challenge is just great. Thanks for taking the time to create these lovely cards and for the giveaway.

Beautiful card. I’m enjoying the challenge very much.
Thanks for the chance of winning an OCC. 🙂
Thanks for the chance to win. You will definitely see me there as I’ve already signed up, can’t wait for class to start. Beautiful You Rock card!
I LOVE the Online Card Classes and I LOVE this coloring challenge! It’s been so much fun. I’m already sad to think that it’s (technically) going to end. I might have to just keep coloring. Or you could find some other crafty person to hand it off to and we can all go and color with them for 30 days!–Like a giant game of coloring tag!
Love seeing all the coloring inspiration!
This sounds like a fabulous class. I hope Friday the 13th is my lucky day! 😉
I love die cutting, I think I have more dies than stamps…and nothing makes me happier than a stamp/die combo set! 😉 Thanks for a chance to win!
I am loving the 30 day Coloring Challenge. You have made me look at lots of my long neglected supplies and use them again. I have a few dies and love using them. Would love to win the class to find other uses for them. Thanks for a chance to win!
Robbie
Just love this colouring series…thanks for the chance to win a seat in this fab. class!

I’m absolutely loving the 30 day challenge! And you are so sweet to take the time to comment on everyone’s work. There isn’t a die I don’t like LOL so I’d love a chance to win a spot in the OCC class (I took the Copics one and really enjoyed it) Thank you Kathy!
My class budget is depleted but I would so love to take this class! Thanks for the opportunity to possibly win it!

I absolutely love die cutting. My mother comes to spend a couple days with me every month and I cannot get her away from my die cutting machine. She is very selfish. lol
Stretching dies sounds like the solution I need. I am frustrated with using dies just once!
Who wouldn’t want to watch more of your videos? OCC are the best and I’m glad to hear you’re going to be a part of this one.
I am having fun with the challenge and would love a chance to attend the stretch your dies class. Thanks for all the inspiration.

Thanks! Enjoy! 🙂
I love die cutting. Have never attended an online class – it would be fun to win a chance to participate.
Always looking for new ways to use my dies sounds great!
I have just started using dies and I am loving them. Love your card with the multicolored background.
You know what they say about good intentions…….I started the challenge and ended up sick as a dog on the 3rd day & am just feeling human again today, so my 30 days are shot, but I am going to get back to it. I have a STACK I got together that is just waiting to be colored.
I’m really enjoying the 30-day Challenge! And I love this card! What a great way to use up lots of scraps!
I am enjoying this challenge even though I only posted one photo so far. thanks for the chance to win a spot in this class.
A class for die cutting too, sounds awesome!
Love today’s card and so hope to win a spot in the class!
So enjoying you’re color challange. I hope you do another video soon. How I would SO love to win a spot in the class. I’ve never had a class before and I LOVE dies and have them but don’t always know how to use them in other ways so I don’t use them. Thank you so much for a chance to win.
Oh love the way you made the background!
Thanks for the opportunity to win a spot in the class. I enjoy the inspiration you share with us on your blog.

Love all your colouring and love the classes at OCC! Enjoyed the copic class!
Kathy, you rock, too….. What a cute card. I love that little paint brush. I thought I was the only one to save scraps. Such a creative way to use them. Thanks for the inspiration and a chance to win a spot in the class.
Love these series..and would love to win a spot in the new class..Thanks for a chance to win.
I”ve been lucky enough to take a few of these classes and have loved them all – thanks, Kathy, for the chance at taking this one! It’s hard to remember NOT using dies, isn’t it?
I love the card. I have a container with those skinny strips that get trimmed off, which I can’t throw away. Thank you for a new idea. I would love to win the class and get more ideas for all of my dies. Thanks for the opportunity.
I’m lovin’ this daily challenge and this class is just what I need. Thanks a million for the opportunity!
Enjoy seeing each days challenge. Thanks for the inspirations.
I really enjoyed the last OCC that I took — learned SO much! Thank you for the opportunity to join another class!

Love how you pulled the color up to the front of the card with the paintbrush! Thanks for the chance to win!
LOVING the 30 day challenge; but loving this adorable YOU ROCK card too; you’re so very talented!! Thank you for sharing your talent with us!!
I’m loving the challenge but have a fractured wrist so haven’t done much coloring yet. Love the online classes but not up to that challenge yet either. I have learned tons from the classes I have already taken.
I’m loving your challenge! Haven’t had much time to color since we had company over this weekend and the guest room is my craft room, but I’m looking forward to catching up. Can’t wait for class next week!
Your card is gorgeous Kathy! I like the coloured card strips. Thanks for the chance to win your awesome giveaway…I loooooove die cutting so this class would be very useful and fun!!
Love your card, thanks for the chance to win!
Love what you did with scraps & die cutting. You’re always a great source when I need some inspiration.
Thanks for the chance to win a spot in this class. I love my dies & use them all the time.
I so would like to win this class!! Your 30 day challenge is fantastic although I’ve yet to participate…hope to soon! Thanks so much!
Love the Online Card Classes and I know I would love to learn how to make the most of my many, many dies!
I’m loving the colouring challenge, it makes me happy and even if I just colour for five minutes, it makes a difference. I would love to win a spot on the online class – I really need to use my dies more often and to use them in an even more creative way would be brilliant!
Oh how I love to die cut images for my cards – it is rare that a card goes out of my craft room without something on it that has been through my Cuttlebug. It is my GO TO tool.
Loving the challenge. I enjoy your work so much and can’t wait to see what you have to share with us in the class!!!
I’m loving this challenge! It’s made me challenge my own color comfort levels and finding out new fun techniques. Thanks for the chance to win a class! Fun!!
I don’t know how you do it Kathy! It is a challenge to create each day but the little bit of time carved out sure feeds my creative soul 🙂 Would love an opportunity to participate in the OCC! Dies are such a favorite with so many of us!
I love die-cutting but haven’t done much lately. Love your card and it has inspired me. I have several alphabet die sets, oodles of scrap paper and time now so I think I’ll try putting something together. Learning how to stretch my dies sounds very appealing.
I love die cutting and OCC are so much fun! You are an inspiration. Thank you.
Thanks for the chance to win. I am very needy when it comes to use of die cuts.
I love The Daily Marker… so many great suggestions and examples!
I love your challenge! Thanks for the chance to win the newest OCC. I love all the classes I’ve taken so far!
Hi Kathy! Just wanted to thank you again for starting this challenge. It really took me out of my hoarding of supplies mode & actually creating something. As a result I’ve been super happy for the past 5 days because I am finally creating something. If I knew creating something daily would take me out of my bad days so easily I would have started a long time ago. Thanks for pushing me in the right direction and making me really happy 🙂
I love my dies! Thanks for the chance to win a spot in this class!
Kathy, YOU ROCK! I have “playing” along and coloring every day, I might not be sharing them, but I’m so enjoying myself. I would love the chance to take the Die class.
Love the card. I have really enjoyed the online card classes in the past! – Would love to win this one!
I really like today’s card…what a great use for scrap paper! And, yes, I would love to have a free place in the card class!
Great card. Love the paintbrush!
Wonderful card! And thanks for the giveaway, they have such great classes!
Such a fabulous card!! Thank you for the chance to win a spot in the class!!
Have been enjoying your 30 day program. I always feel better when I craft. Loving getting emails everyday with something new. Thanks
I love your card. It is clean and simple, but very effective.
I have been using my markers and colored pencils more as part of the 30 Day Challenge. I think that this class will help me use more of my dies. I tend to just stick to a couple of favorites, but I know that I could do more with them. 🙂
Love my dies, and would love to win a spot in this class.
I’ve been working on adult coloring pages I found on pinterest. Hubby says that makes it sound like I’ve been coloring nude-y pictures but I hope YOU know what I mean. It feels good to lay down a bit more color each day and watch the picture emerge. Thank you for all of your inspiration and the chance to win. I love OCC!
I LOVE the concept for this class! thank you so much for the opportunity to win a spot!
I had a friend who took the stretch your stamps class and loved it. I am sure this will be great too.
this has gotten me back to the why I love card making. It was all about sitting down and coloring in a relaxed creative way. Great card today!
Stretching your dies class would be great! Dies are so expensive. Enjoying the coloring challenge. I think I just might need more markers!
Oh I would love to win a spot for that class. Love your 30 day coloring challenge and can’t wait to see what else you will share with us!!
I’m enjoying the 30 days of coloring. Especially love your videos, but I know that they take a long time to make, but love them still. Thanks for the chance to win a spot in class.
Thanks so much for all this inspiration to color every day!
Love the online classes would love to take one for free!!!!!
I would love to learn to stretch my dies, class would be great! Thanks for the chance!!!
Thanks for this challenge. It’s great to see all of your inspiring projects. Thanks also for the chance to win a spot in the die class.
I always enjoy your inspiration and I’m having a great time participating in the 30 day challenge as I can (on a road trip right now). I would love to win a spot in the OCC. Thanks for the opportunity!!
Great card. Enjoying seeing these cards.
FABULOUS card!!! Love it! One of my favorite color: blue. 😀
I am loving your 30 day color challenge. And your cards are fabulous!
Looks like its going to be another great class!!
I love die cutting. Wish I had lots more dies but I keep adding…slowly but surely. Coloring is also one of my favorite things to do. Combine the two and you can make some really lovely things.
I LOVE die cutting! I am already enrolled in the class, but would love the chance to win. Looking forward to all the inspiration too!
I am loving your color challenge cards – creative and beautiful. I have signed up for the Dies class and am really looking forward to expanding my ‘die-abilities”
Fabulous card. I do love die cutting.
Your challenge is great, getting those creative ideas on paper. I would love to win the Stretch your Dies class, another fun way to be inspired.
I ❤️❤️❤️ Diecuts especially with coordinating stamp set. Always love layers so having to fuzzy cut everything is a bit of a pain. So I hope I get the the chance to win but even if I didn’t, I’ll definitely register because I love the classes.
What a wonderful card and love how you did it!! Thank you for the inspiration!
I have a lot of dies & would love to find more ways to use them. thanks for the chance to win a spot. Love the ombre look on your card!!
I really love using my dies and would love to learn new ways to use them. The class sounds awesome!
Hi Kathy, I’m really enjoying the 30 day color challenge and getting inspiration from the other crafters. I would love to win a spot in the OCC Stretch Your Dies class. Thanks for the chance to win.
Such a cool idea–love the strips of paper. I would love to take the card class, I’ve taken a few classes and they are awesome! I have been coloring every day, I tried to post on Instagram, hadn’t done that before so thanks for the video, I will try that again today. I have mostly been doing water color as I watch TV, with pencils. I think I’ll try with Tim’s markers this evening. I have a bunch of images I stamped awhile ago, to have at the ready when I have a need to color–last night I did a Christmas one! I’ll take some photo’s and post!
I am planning on taking the class. I love my dies and love to see all the ways to use them. It would be wonderful if I would win a spot but do plan on taking it anyways. Thanks for a chance.
I just recently started playing with dies and would love to learn some tips from all you talented ladies. Thank you for the chance to win a class!
I have been following your blog but I still have not managed to get started with the challenge.
Thanks a lot for the opportunity to win a spot on this fun class
Thanks for chance to win class sounds like fun.
Hi Kathy! Love all of your creative cards; you have a real talent for coloring. Today’s card is a KISS card that EVEN I can do!! I’ve been practicing my coloring, so hopefully I’ll have something that I’m willing to share on IG one of these days in the near future. Thanks for the kick in the butt to get moving! I’ve had the markers, but was afraid to use them! Hahahaha Great challenge idea!
Would love to take the class…thanks for the chance to win!
Love your card, Kathy! It rocks! 🙂
Your 30 day challenge is giving me a boost to get back to coloring! I’ve been enjoying it again! Thanks for the chance to win a spot in the class!

Wow what a cool class to take. Loving your 30 days right now thanks
Never miss an OCC and already signed up for this one. Love how you colored this card. So fun and looks to be fairly simple to put together.
Hi Kathy! I love this card. Great way to use up your scraps. I do have a question for you. Do you stamp the image of the brush BEFORE or AFTER you do the dry embossing? Thanks for sharing!!
I think you rock, Kathy! I am new to your blog and I am so glad I found it. I have enjoyed the 30 day challenge so much. Thanks for the opportunity to win a spot in this awsome class. Keep up the beautiful work.
I love dies, I really like the steel rule dies. It would be great to learn how to use my dies more.

Hi Kathy.I love your card,great way to use up scraps too! Would love to win a spot in this class,thanks for the opportunity of winning one!
Another awesome card Kathy! Love it.
Thank you again for the fun challenge, I’m definitely enjoying having a good excuse to squeeze colouring in every day, it’s so easy to let that “me” time fall by the wayside.
Love this CAS card! So interesting and not really simple at all. Beautiful! tfs and a chance to win a spot in what sounds like a great class! Hugs, kristina
I love diecuts, especially the ones with matching stamps. Thanks for the chance to win!
I’ve been following the 30 day challenge every day and I’ve been working on my Easter cards every day though I’ve yet to post something thank you for the opportunity of the online card class
Thanks, Kathy for th chance to win. I’ve only recently bought a die cutting machine, and Id love some ideas on how to make the most of it.
Thank you for the chance. This sounds like an amazing class 🙂
I love how you used the strips of paper on your card to add color to your die cut words. Such a clever idea! I’m really looking forward to the next OCC. So glad that you’ll be teaching!
I just recently found your blog and subscribed. I enjoy it very much. I really wanted to follow color challenge, but could not get it together. Would love to take the online class. Hope my number comes up!
My die cutting experience is very limited, but I just found an unopened/never used Grand Calibur at an estate sale!!! Sadly, only found one die (also unused), so am definitely looking for ways to stretch my die 😉 until I can get some others. The strips of paper as a background is very effective on this card. I’m having lots of fun reading the posts on my breaks and have bookmarked them for when I have my craft area set up for extended play. Looking forward to tomorrow, as always.
Ooooh Kathy, I love your card. Its simple and beautiful! I have been wanting a set of alphabet dies for a while. I DID recently get the number dies and have been using those quite a bit. I’m sure the alphabet dies will soon make the ‘cut’. LOL
Love today’s card & i really am so enjoying playing along with everyone! Thanks for such a great challenge & wow what an awesome prize- thank you for the chance to win a spot- in the upcoming class-i love online card classes too!
How exciting! I don’t have very much money to use to invest in dies so learning how to stretch the the ones I have would be fantastic!!
Love all of the cards made with dies, wish I had more of them… but I saving all of the great ideas for “when my ship comes in” and can buy all the dies I want 🙂 ……
What a great card!! Love that you chose shades of blue!! This OCC class looks like so much fun!!! Would love to win a spot!! Thanks for the opportunity!
Thanks so much for the chance to win a spot in the class. Love the 30 day challenge.
Thanks for the inspiration – lovely card.

Yubba Dubba Do! I love these challenges and am always looking forward to using my dies! Thanks for the chance.
Love this challenge, had a hard time keeping up over the weekend. But going to color today! Thanks for the chance to win!
I don’t do challenges but I have really enjoyed having a fun reason to color each day. I almost always do, but it’s generally for a project of some sort. This has been such fun because I’m coloring just for the fun of coloring! Love it.
Ooooo, would love the chance to win a spot in class!
Just love the card and the colored strips you used. Seems there is no limit to creativeness with all the great dies out there. I would love to win the class. Thanks.
I wake up every morning and I think “I get to color with Kathy again today” how great is that? I love that you have challenged me and I feel like a kid again.
I love today’s card and the chance to win a spot in the class. Thanks!
I am addicted to die cutting! So much fun. Thanks for all you do..
I’ve already signed up for the class. I’m eager to get some extra use out
of my dies.

Congratulations on being a guest designer in the OCC class. I just love all the different artists who do guest spots in those classes. By the way, I think the way your have your blog set up is great. Being able to search for inspiration or a tutorial by subject matter is awesome. Thanks for the chance to win a spot in the Stretch Your Dies class. I’m sure it will be another fun class.

I’d love to win a spot in the stretch your dies class!!
I just got my first Copics and SU Blendabilities about 10 days ago… working on my techniques with them, but am LOVING the results of my colouring!
I have never thought about attaching several scrap paper pieces together to from a new piece. I love the look you achieved. The adorable paint brush has already sold out.
Thanks for the chance to win!!!!
I love your Your Rock card. I do have to try that! Thanks for a chance to win the class. I love using dies and learning new techniques would be wonderful!
Yay! I love those classes! I’m completely in love with the Copic class…and I’m so happy with the results I’ve seen with my coloring! And yes, the challenge has been a LOT of fun! 🙂
This class looks amazing. I would love to win a spot, thanks for the chance!
I’m loving this 30 day challenge. Love those online card classes! So grateful for a chance to win.
I just heard about the Stretch Your Dies class from Jennifer McGuire’s blog & I was pretty excited!! I don’t usually do online classes, but thought this one could really help me out! I have purchase WAY TOO MANY dies in the last few years & could definitely use any help in figuring out how to use them to get the most bang for my buck so to speak!! Thanks for the chance to win a spot in the online class!!
I’m already registered but I would love to win a free seat – thanks for the chance!
This class looks awesome and I would love to win a spot. Thanks for offering a chance to win.
I too love die cutting. I hope Friday the 13th is lucky for me, thanks for a chance to win a spot.
would be absolutely thrilled to win a spot!
Love all the inspiration. I’ve been coloring like mad, but uploading anything is a royal pain for me. Would LOVE to win a class on how to find new uses for my dies…I love ’em and would like to be able to use them even more. Thanks for the chance, Kathy!
Love your coloring challenge! And thanks for the chance to win the class.
I love these online classes and can’t wait to see what you are going to do with dies!

Wow! So fabulous! Thank you for the opportunity!
Cheers!

This sounds like the class for me! I really like your idea of the color strips behind you diecut letters. Very creative!
LOVE your card, I can’t wait to try something similar! Thanks for the inspiration! Thank you also for the chance to win a class from onlinecardclasses.com! I have taken a couple and they are FANTASTIC!
Thank you so much for the opportunity to win. I love dies because they help people like me who are not the best cutter-outers make things look nice.
I would LOVE to win a spot in class, I love my dies and use them all the time but would like to learn new ways. Thanks for the chance to win.
I’d love to take this class. Pretty please pick me!!
Loving all the inspiration of these cards and very excited about the die cutting class, thanks for the chance.
Would love to win a free class.
Very nice card! I love OCC, thank you for the chance to win.
Kathy, how exciting! You and OCC together, that is like double chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, yay! Fingers crossed, I so need a class to have some fun and get back in the craft room, this month has started badly and gone downhill from there… I keep hoping that I will be able to join you on the fabulous colour challenge too, and maybe despite all the horrible health news and ongoing drama, I will at least get to share in the joy these classes always bring. (Plus honestly, I need some inspiration to use the dies for more than their obvious purpose.)
I’d love to win a seat in the new OCC Class! I need more dies and with to much offer i can’t decide what to buy. I’ll be expensive … but a lot of fun.
I so want to win this giveaway!!! I’m about 3 weeks away from giving brith to our 6th girl and this giveaway would be awesome to use with her project life album.
This class is going to be awesome!! The cast of guest artist is great. I can’t wait!!!!
Beautiful card Kathy!!
Thanks for inspiring us every day.
I love your 30 day challenge, it’s push me to try coloring everyday 🙂
Thanks for chance to win a space in the Stetch Your Dies class. I love to use dies in my creation and would love to get another way to use it by taking this class.
I really enjoy seeing each day what you have come up with. I love this card. It seems easy but looks so difficult. Would love to attend this class.
The card is lovely, I’m having lots of fun with the 30 day challenge, and am so excited that you’ll be an instructor for the Stretch your Dies class!!
This die cutting class is going to be so much fun! I can’t wait to get more mileage out of my dies!!! Love the color blocking and totally love the embossed cardstock on the front!!!
I look forward to your daily posts. Do you have any suggestions for coloring small items, like small flowers? I can’t seem to color them so that they have any dimension or interst. The die cutting class sounds like a fun class.
Am loving your coloring challenge, and would love to win the class!! Thanks!
I love your colour challenge and all things die-related 🙂 thanks for the chance to win 🙂
This looks fabulous! Love this idea!

I am enjoying the color challenge so much. I have loved coloring since I cracked open my first box of Crayola 64’s. And now there are so many more mediums to use…Also, thank you for the opportunity to receive the complimentary die class. So glad you are a part of it.
What a brilliant way to stretch my dies, Kathy! Sentiment dies are my favorite kind of dies! Thanks for the opportunity to win spot in the ‘Stretch Your Dies’ class. I would absolutely love it! ♡

thanks for offering an opportunity to win a spot in the online die class. . . really enjoyed this card and the subtle touch with the paint brush. . . . .
I’m having so much fun playing again with my copics. I know I should pull out my pastels but I’m just enjoying the coloring way too much. I’m also challenging myself to pull out stamps that I have never used to learn new techniques and breathe life in to them again. I love the inspiration you’re providing plus everyone who is posting. This is so great for my soul!
I’m so happy that you share your talent with us and give me hope that someday I could be good at copic coloring. Also, I’m very new at copic coloring, right now I only have 4 markers and nothing that even matches….Thank you for all your videos, I try some of the techniques with my colored pencils. Love Your Work!!!!
The class sounds fabulous and it actually starts on my birthday! Fingers crossed to win a spot! I would love some new ideas on using my dies! Love your pretty card!

Another great class from OCC! Glad you will be a part of it.
Your cards are great and I am having a lot of fun with the color challenge! Thank you for the giveaway!
Wow! Look forward to seeing it!
Thanks for inspiration!
Hi Kathy — I just returned from extended overseas travels and am THRILLED to find your 30-day Coloring Challenge! Will be diving right in to catch up!! Thanks, also, for an opportunity to win free tuition to OCC’s Stretch Your Dies class. Look forward to seeing what you’ll be teaching us!
That’s exciting Susan!! Don’t feel like you need to play catch up just start on Day 8 or 9 and dive in. Exited your taking the challenge.
What a fun challenge – coloring every day! Such a great idea! I’m looking forward to the class to stretch my die usage – that should be great also. Thanks for the opportunity to win a giveaway.
Online Card Classes are always fun and packed with inspiration, thanks for the chance to win a spot.
Thank you for the inspiration and the chance to win.
SUPER COOL card Kathy!!!
LOVE the texture, LOVE the strips in the CLEVER word window and your paintbrush with the inky splat too!!!
… I confess, I have a LOT to learn about getting inky, so this 30 days is SO INSPIRING for me and I KNOW I have a LOT to learn about die cutting, so I’m sending a big THANK YOU for giving us the chance to win a spot in what I KNOW will be an AWESOME class 🙂
I am loving this 30 challenge! This is so exciting!
it’s and awesome card, thanks for the chance to win this amazing class!
Rock on girl! Another awesome card. Thanks for the chance to win the online card class. Loved the copic one I took – my first one. Would love to do another….
Thanks for the tip on another way to use my dies. I have a lot of scraps and this will be a great way to show my crafty students how to use them in a different way. Would love to win the class!!
I’m just doing a quick scan through the early posts of the challenge. When I have more time, I’m going to come back and watch the videos. I am always looking to improve my coloring skills and just bought some Spectrum Noir marker sets. Maybe this will be the nudge to pull them out and try them! Thanks for the chance to win a seat in the class. I love dies and would love to see other ideas on using them.
I have a lot of dies in my stash, it would be wonderful to learn some out of the box techniques to use with them!
Your 30day coloring challenges is just amazing… Thanks for sharing ! And thanks for a change to win a spot to new OCC class 🙂
I needed some new inspiration for my card making & your challenge has given me that. I’m enjoying it so much. Thank you!
Thanks Elaine! That makes my day!
Love OCC classes.
I can’t tell you how much I’d love to take this class! I have a bit of an obsession with dies and I’d love to find new uses for them!
To say I’m obsessed with die-cutting is the honest truth. Rarely do I make a card that I don’t either incorporate dry embossing or a die-cut in my design. Your 30-day color challenge sounds awesome. Hope I find time to play a few days. Would be beyond thrilled to win a spot in this awesome OCC about Stretching Dies. Thanks, Kathy, and congrats on being a guest artist in the class (love your work)!
Being able to use my tools even more
would be awesome!
I would love to win a spot in this class. I love learning new things. Thank you for the chance to win
I’ve been eyeing the die class – looks amazing. Does doodling on your legal pad at work count as coloring??!! LOL !!
Kathy, I have really enjoyed looking at all of the color challenge pics on IG.
I just recently bought a Big Shot and I am slowly building my stash 🙂 This class sounds awesome.
I really like your card!! It’s so simple and cute. Something that I could do. I would love to have the chance to take your class. Thank you for the chance to win a spot!!
I can’t wait to see what you gal’s have in store with the die cutting class. I am always in awe of your talent.
I’m having fun doing this challenge you are such an inspiration! I love your card!
So excited to go and try this technique!! I have a ton of scraps I can use. I’m new to die cutting so it will be an adventure!
Your card is fabulous! I’m not surprised! I have not looked at any blogs for awhile, so today was the first day I knew about your color challenge. I took the OCC Copic Class and loved it! Tomorrow I will get my Copics out and play. It is the most relaxing thing I do!
What a great idea for this card. It looks beautiful.
Thanks for the inspiration and the chance to win a spot in the online card class.
LOVE all these fabulous blue hues and all that yummy texture-y white space, Kathy … gorgeous! Thanks for the chance to win a spot at the next OCC … they’re always awesome! Anita 🙂
