Video: Copic Dot Coloring + Giveaway

Welcome. Today’s video features some adorable new stamps and a fun coloring technique – dot coloring. (I used Copics but you could use other markers, too.)

[All supplies are linked to multiple sources in the thumbnails at the end of this post. Affiliate links used. To watch the video in HD on YouTube, click HERE.]

Oh my my my! This new The Whole Herd set from My Favorite Things is simply adorable. So I decided to keep the focus on the images and keep my card simple. But instead of using normal coloring, I decided to color with dots instead. This works really well with Copics, but also works with other markers. Such a unique look.

For the background, I used the new cross-stitch dies from My Favorite Things, including the circle, square and rectangles. I added foam under a few of the layers for some dimension.

I mean – come on! Aren’t these animals the cutest?!

This dot coloring technique isn’t anything new, but it is a fun way to get a different look. Coloring is therapeutic to me, so I try to do it often.

For the horse, I added hay in his mouth with a black pen. I can’t wait to add party hats onto some of these critters…

In the video I shared a peek of using the dot coloring technique on die cuts. I will share this video next week. Those flamingos are fabulous…

By the way, in the video I briefly shared some of the other new products from My Favorite Things. You can find links to those at the end of the thumbnails below or HERE. Good stuff!

  1. I love the Whole Herd, but I have to say, as an ex-cross stitcher, it would be the cross stitch circles.

  2. Cute cards! I love you videos, they are so helpful to me! I love the whole herd set, it is really cute.

  3. Really like the cross stitch dies, and thanks so much for all your tips for using great new products!

  4. Can you have two favorites? My picks would be the cow print stamp and the Whole Herd set! We actually live out in the country on a dirt road with plenty of farm folk and animals running around now that it is spring! Would love to send a few cards to my farm friends using these super cute stamps!

  5. I just love the cross-stitch dies and the Whole Herd stamps…they look really versatile and make some really cute cards!

    Great techniques, Jennifer…thank you!

  6. I think my favourite are the cross stitch dies… no, the Whole Herd Stamps… no the – OH it’s too hard to pick one! Can I have them all? 😉 Thanks once again for showing us an amazing technique – something I will definitely have to try!

  7. I love the cross stitch dies and the whole herd stamps. Really, I think the whole farm collection is really cute! MFT makes so many cute and wonderful things it’s hard to pick just 2.

  8. My favorite is the Whole Herd set plus the rolling hills fence. I love the expressions on the animals, they make me smile. 🙂 Thanks for another great video, I learn a lot from you!

  9. I just adore the tickled pink stamp set, the sentiments are so well thought out. The flamingos and all the cross stitched shapes are my favorite dies.

  10. My favorites would be all the Cross-Stitch stax dies. I love the copic dot coloring. Thanks for showing how to do this.

  11. Love the new stamp set the whole herd.. as I’m always saying “hey there” so I’m sure I’d use the “hay there” a lot! Also any of the cross stitch dies would be perfect for anyone’s collection of dies..so cute!

  12. I love the way these cards are constructed, and the dot colouring is a neat idea that I’ll have to try soon.

    As for my favourite MFT product from this release, it’s the Cross Stitch Stax Dies by a whisker, then The Whole Herd stamp set, but they’re all super.

  13. I love the MFT Whole Herd stamp and die collection the best simply because I love animals and these are adorable!

  14. After moving to Florida I developed a fondness for Flamingos so really need those dies with the coordinating stamps. Unfortunately, for me, there seem to be a lot of people with the same tastes a mine since they were sold out when I went to place my orders.

  15. I honestly love it all this release but those stitched dies are a must have. absolutely love them!!!!

  16. Being the mother of 2 elementary school age girls, I think the Flamingo dies are sweet. They make me think of a long awaited summer too. Thanks for your great videos!

  17. These cards are sooooo cute! I love this coloring technique. Thanks so much for the video. I’m going to give it a try. I think I will start with trying it on die cuts, great idea by the way. I don’t think it is possible to have a favorite MFT favorite. There are just too many cool things, there’s the barn die, the cross-stitch dies and now I NEED the Whole Herd set.

  18. I love the look of the dot coloring! I have seen this done many times and it gives a great look of that texture. Your cards are adorable Jennifer!!! My favorite new stamp set with MFT is the flamingos!! I adore them! And I really like that barn die set too!
    Hugs,

    So much enjoy looking and learning from your videos!!!
    Greetings from Sweden :)!

  22. the MFT flamingos are definitely my favorite. I am a hardcore flamingo lover and love this die. they are so adorable.

  23. Hi Jennifer. I’m new to card making and was wondering what type of paper you used for the dot colouring. The card stock I use gets wet and then starts lifting. Thanks.
