«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 392 of 392I love copic sketch markers because they make it so easy for someone (like me) to show some artistic ability. They really do add pizzaz to all kinds of images and the colors choices are endless. Of course, due to budget reasons, I agonize over which few to purchase next because I want them count.
Oh how I would love to sit with a rainbow of Copics around me while I work! They are so easy and fun to use. . . quite forgiving for a beginner too! Thanks for a chance to win, Sherrie!
What an awesome chance to get some copic markers. I don't have any but would love to have the chance to play with them.
Love, love, love the vibrancy and dimension Copics give to my stamped images. I have been purchasing the sketch markers one by one and have finally pulled together a group of colors that allow me to do shading and blending and actually color an entire image. I'm sticking with the sketch because I think I eventually want to branch out into the airbrushing technique.
I love the shape of the Copic Sketch markers, not only because they won't roll off the table - but they're so cute. I love the durability of the nibs and the fact that the markers are refillable. The color choices are beyond compare. I love the numbering system that gives a heads up to non-artistic types like me on choosing colors for blending. They are just a quality product that I'm excited to learn more about.
I do not have any Copics markers, but I am ALWAYS impressed with how awesome they are. I've been dying to make the investment into these professional markers, but I want to learn to use them right. So glad to hear there are more instructors out there to teach us.
I need to win the Copic markers! :) I only have 1 marker & I love it. I'm researching the copics to see which ones I need to buy & can't wait to get more. They are the coolest markers! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I use copic markers because they are the best method of coloring out there. They make your project look professional. They are also refillable. That's good on the pocket as well as the environment.
I kept reading about how great the Copic markers were and looked all over for them locally. I finally found a place with a small inventory and add a new one to my stash whenever I feel the need for a treat...it beats indulging in a chocolate binge...and I have something left afterward besides more inches on the hips. I love the fact that you can color without obscuring the stamp detail
I've wanted to try them but not made the plunge yet ... thanx for the blog candy opp!
I've recently started using copics and took a class at a local stamp store. I've never used the airbrush, but love the effects it gives!
Copics are my go to tool! I have bought 3 sets of 12 from my local store in the past three weeks alone. If my husband gets to buy his beer - I reason that I should be able to build my Copic collection. They last far longer than his 12 pack does. The color choices alone give you that kid in a candy store rush! Love them.

I really am enjoying my copics and would love to take a class with them and get certified. I love how they bring life to everything !
I love my Ciao Copics to colour in my stamped images. The reason I jumped on the Copic bandwagon was because all the cards I saw and were beautiful were all coloured by Copics. Amazing markers and I'd love to win more!
I love to color and have always loved watercolors because they blend so nice - now I have found copics and how nicely they blend but with more control than watercolors - perfect!!!! Would absolutly love to play with the airbursh system!!!!
I have never used Copics before. I'd want to, just to see what all the fuss is about! They always produce such amazing results, as you always demonstrate!
I have never used copic markers but have seen the beautiful creations from Debbie and want to learn to color like her! I like the idea that more instructors will be available across the country. So maybe I'll be fortunate enough to take a class or two. Thanks for sharing!
I am so impressed by the beautiful coloring I see with copics. Maybe someday I will get better.
My Copic markers get used on practically every project - they are so versatile and give an awesome result on so many media! The ability to get such intense color and to blend so easily is wonderful!
What an amazing team!! Wow! I hope to find a class near me some day! I use them mostly to color my digitals and embellishments.
I have a few copic markers right now to shade images. It would be great to win more for actual coloring! Thanks for the chance!

Copics look like they would be fun to use!
I'm so excited about starting to teach classes and getting my scrapbookers into these markers that will change their world. All I want to do is color all day long!!!
Cari C
Congrats to you for being chosen on such a great team! I am very excited to see more certification classes in the works- I really would like to take the class and share Copics with others. I love the Copics and how they make my cards look so much more vibrant. My Mom teaches China painting and has such an eye for color- I cannot paint freehand, but when I use stamps and the art is done for me I am excited to find ways to make my cards look pretty! Thanks so much!
I am using Copics almost all the time in my card making I love to color with them as they blend so nicely. I would like to learn how to use the airbrush!
I love my Copics! Nothing can compare with their versatility, vibrant colors and ease of application. I use mine almost every day. While I love stamps that can be colored, just adding a little color to patterned paper, a button or pearl, a fabric flower can make all the difference in pulling a design together.
I follow many blogs. And I have noticed that the card(s) are done with Copics. They are all beautiful and I hope that I will be one of the lucky recipients to finally own Copics. My family and ESA sisters would get all handmade cards this year for Christmas done with Copics, of course! Thank you for the opportunity to win.
In His hands,
Dawn Womble
I love my copic markers (well, the few that I have) and keep buying more a few at a time. They are so easy to apply to paper and blend so beautifully I can't imagine going back to anything else for coloring in my stamped images! And an ABS for airbrushing would be FABULOUS!
I'm a Close to My Heart consultant, and so I have LOTS of stamps! The copics are sooo great at bringing the stamped images alive. I also love that they are alcohol ink so they not only make blending easy, but you can color on any surface, too! I discovered that I can color on my clear buttons and plain twill ribbon to make them match my stamped images. They look great!! I can't wait to try out the airbrushing next.
~Rachel in Sacramento
Copic markers are just the best! I love the great selection of colours available, from the lightest pastel to the most vibrant colour and everything in between! You can layer, shade and blend like a pro! With a lot of practice, you can make all of your stamped items look as though a professional has made the card!
I use my copics for paper crafting, stamping and changing colors to embellishments. these markers make images pop off the card and are so easy to blend and work with! Thanks for the chance to win more great product!! Tonya Davidson, stampintonya@yahoo.com
I love how you only need a few Copics to get lots of variation in your coloring. I've managed to do quite a bit with just a few markers, and that's helped me stretch my crafting budget that much further.
Copic pens are very versatile. They blend and colour images so well. They are great for the budget minded who want to colour brads, ribbon, chip board and a variety of other embellishments.
I also love your inspiring, comprehsive Copic colouring videos Sherrie.
Thank you.
I'm a recent Copic convert and so far have a very small selection of 6 - I definitely want more because with Copics I feel like an artist. The blending capabilities are amazing and I'd love to try airbrushing in the future as well.
Love the 2 Copics I have and need more. lol They make such lovely projects.
Oh how i long for a few more copics in my stash of scrapping goodies. i love them so much, but alass i find it hard to find them here, my long and tirless search for copics has lead me all ove shops through out australia but only a few have the golden 'ticket' the allusive copic marker........ the few i have are treasured!
I love that you can color on top of color with Copic makrker to change or deppen colors. I also like to use them to color ribbon, buttons and other mediums.
I love my copics and learn more every time I use them. Loved your certification class this summer in Langley.
I really, really NEED the Airbrush system!!Thanks for the chance to win
Wow, love your creativity! I have been dying to take a Copics class. They fill up so quickly! It is amazing how the colors blend, and the images are so vibrant, jumping off the page. I'll need to be brave and purchase a few colors to get started!
I love the blendability and workability of Copics. Even a non-artist like myself can get really great results!
i want to learn how to use the airbrush sooooo bad! even my kids are fascinated with these markers (they're teenagers though - not little kids!)
Copic Markers are great! The colors are nice and they blend so well. I've colored some amazing images using Copic Markers - everyone's always so impressed with how nice my images look!
I would love to have the new set of markers in the original format...I do enjoy using the Copics, and if I will ever have them all...LOL

Rubber stamps $10, cardstock $0.50, Copics PRICELESS! I am adicted to my Copics using them almost everytime I sit down to craft. Whether I am colouring images, dyeing ribbon or matching my embellishments to my other elements. My best purchase ever.
I'd love to own some copics because I love all the beautiful projects I've seen done with them, they're sooo awesome. I've never seen any, thanks for the chance!
Copic markers are so wonderful because they make your stamped images look so real and add such dimension to any project.
Pick me! Pick me!
I could do all kinds of magical stuff with Copics. Art journaling, cards, doodles, scrapbooking....
Give me a chance...I'm sitting out here in the middle of the ocean and not a Copic in site. (They are hard to find here in Hawaii)
I love my Copic Sketch markers because they flow so nicely , blend perfectly and are so vibrant ! Definitely well worth the extra cost .... and the fact that the Sketch markers can be refilled definitely helped in my decision to go with the Sketch !
I've just recently been making my own cards with my daughter's guidance. I have been using her Copic's and feeling badly about using up her ink, but not badly enough to stop!! I love stamping and using the Copic's. I have tried other methods of coloring the cards, but there's no going back to those ways now. I am enthralled with the endless variety of colors available in the markers and want to try them all out!!
I have recently starting using copics and love them because they make colouring so easy! Having not studied art at school and being only new to stamping I can use all the help I can get and copics are very user friendly. The fantastic colour range ensures you are always able to find the right colour for your project!
Copics are crayolas for big girls! I love being able to colour and shade just like I did as a kid - except, this time, they don't break nor need sharpening! The best thing ever is introducing my god-daughters to the world of Copic with Ciaos. They draw cute manga chibis and then have the best time colouring. I prefer Copic classic (square heads) but love the subtlety of the triple & quad 0's of Sketch.
I avoided using stamps I had to color until i found copics. Now I even like to color so much I carry images with me to color while I am waiting at the doctor's office, at school, etc... I love the sketch markers because I am a sucker for the numbers on the ends.
This is a giveaway to die for... I'm a big fan of Copic's :)
Thanks for the generous giveaway!
i LOVE copic! don't have them yet, hope to have some soon :)
The air brush offers such flexibility. My collection of Copics is very small. Already I can see how well they work. I am so impressed that I am making plans to attend a regional class to learn more.
I am not artistic but I have always loved palettes of color -- makeup, the 64 count crayola box, the Benjamin Moore paint display. I was happy to purchase an array of Copic markers in various colors (I have about 30.) I am not particularly adept at using them but I find coloring to be very therapeutic. I love to sit and color. When I go on vacation I take stamped images and my COPICs and color. When I get home I make cards with my images. I live on Long Island in NY and would LOVE to attend Copic certification classes. Right now, that would be my perfect gift.
I don't own any Copic markers but I would love to get my hands on some. I see some beautiful artwork out there. I would very interested in classes.
In France they don't sell copics... so thannks for the chance to win some;)
I love my Copics so much. I use the Sketch and the Ciao, at last i color with prismacolors. But the copics have so many wonderful colors, i can't have enough from all :-)))...

Hi Sherrie, Congratulations on Regional! What a great give away. Thank you for the chance to win! I have fallen for air brushing!! I've been having such a ball since I picked up my ABS1 two weeks ago. My husband and I went out and got a air compressor last night. I'm out of air brushing control. :o)
Take care and STAY POSITIVE!
My crafty friend and I are waiting to hear about the class your doing here in San Antonio! We've talked to all our other crafty friends to see about going together. I am SOOO excited to know your coming to San Antonio and I don't care if it's a few weeks before Christmas.. I will do my cookie baking before and after rather than miss the Copics Class!!!
I love my sketch markers because they have the color code on the end cap!
Copics are wonderful- What a difference from the "old" markers!!!! It takes a little while to get used to the techniques, and I love just sitting with a stamped image and coloring!! Would love to add to my collection. On the other hand the airbursh system is on my Christmas list..... LOL
I love the look of copics but haven't had the chance to use them for myself. It would be awesome to win a set so I can play with them and learn how to color like a pro!
Copics have been the answer to my stamping dilemma! I love to stamp but have been intimidated in the past because frankly....I'm no artist! I mean I can color in the lines but my images always looked like a child had colored them in! That's until I stumbled upon the Copic Sketch markers. I now can blend, color match, and add visual flair like a pro! The number system the markers use has really taken the guess work out of blending! My images now look so good that I'm proud to show them off and say "I did that!" Thanks Copic for a terrific product!
I just recently joined the 'Copic Craze' in the past month and currently own 20 markers. I plan on taking a Copic 101 class at my local stamping store this month. There is NO equal to the beauty of the results you get from Copics....NONE!
Thanks for the chance to win :-)
The copic markers are a must in my studio. I use them to add dimension and depth to my stamping and other art work and find them to be the best markers available! I only buy a few of them at a time and could really benefit from increasing my supply! :-)
I am totally in love with copics. I started using them when I bought some Magnolia stamps from Magnolia-licious with Diana Crick, and she introduced me to coloring these images with copics. LOVE them!! I would love to have more of them to play with!
Copics are the creme de la creme of coloring mediums! I was 1st interested after surfing online & seeing lots of beautiful colored stamped images on cards. I was puzzled by how real the image looked & it appeared to pop vs. other images I had seen. I kept asking out loud 'How'd they do that . . . how'd they get it to look like that?' Every time I read the supply list it included Copics. That's when I knew I had to try my hand at them. They are incredible to work with. They feel like 'buttah' as you move about the brush tip on the paper. If given a fair chance, I think a lot of nonbelievers would change their minds. They are a superior marker. It leaves me with no other choice but to be a follower in this case & continue to collect them : )
Copic markers are awesome! I have always loved to color since I was young, and these markers just make it so much more fun. I am still learning and aspire to be as good as all of the bloggers out there using copics! I love looking at the blogs and viewing the tutorials for tips. I am still building my stash, and I want them ALL!!!!
I LOVE my copics.. I use them on so many stamped projects, and my digi stamps! so EXCITED getting the airbrush system for xmas.. :) (I know this because it is upstairs waiting for me to wrap it up from my mom! HA!!)
Oh are you going to be doing classes down near ME! :) I am in Snohomish, WA. (Seattle maybe more noticeable if I said that area! HA!).. hoping you do! Would LOVE to take a class or 10!! LOL!!
I am a new Copic user. I have a lot to learn about how to blend with these amazing markers. I love to spend time practicing coloring. I am wishing there were classes available in my area. I would love to be certified some day.
It was *so* good to see you, sweet friend. :)
I just have a couple of Copics and just learning to use them. I see so many gorgeous projects created with them and hope to some day do the same.
What a fabulous give away! I would love a chance to add to my collection. I am taking a class in the spring, I'm new to Copics, and I can't wait!!
Love what you did on your snowman tutorial. I love the few Copics I have and because of budget constraints have slowly been buying more. I think I need the warm colors for shading. I have done some coloring with them and I love doing animals with the great color selection and blending capabilities it is easier to make it look like real animal hair. Can't wait to buy so colors and try your snowman. Thanks
I have the glitter pens and just love how they make everything look so wonderful. I would love to have a full set of the original copics, but the cost is beyond me. So to win some would be so cool. I love to write and color everything with my glitter pens!
I have the glitter markers and just love them for writing, coloring, accenting. I only wish i had more than a handful of the regular copics, so i could do more coloring and shading with them.
Congrats on making the DT! I'm so hooked on Copics! I just love them! Have a great day thanks for the chance to win some!
I am looking forward to getting some soon. I don't own any yet. I hope I win :)
Thanks for the chance to win.
God bless

I would love to win some copic markers...the images colored are amazing...depth of color, shadows, highlights. All of this from copic markers!
Why do I wish I had copics? They're amazing, that's why. I would use them for all of my stamping, papercrafting, journaling needs -- every, single day!
So happy to have so many chances. I would love to have more Copics to really broaden my color choice selection. The other day I was "coloring" a stamped image during my garage sale and my neighbor asked what I was doing. I told her I was "just coloring" with my daughter. She looked at my image and said, that's not "just" coloring. I felt so happy. Love what the markers have done for my so called art ability.
I am new to Copics and have a set of Ciao markers that I just love but I really need to take some classes to improve. I am a stamper and just love the realistic look you get using Copics.
I first purchase a few random colors of copics and was hooked. They make my coloring actually look like I have some artistic ability by making is easy to add highlights, shadows and blend colors. I carry a small card with me that has all my colors listed so if I happen to be somewhere that sells copics I have a reference so I don't duplicate. I drool at the projects created using the air brush system and would just love to own that someday. Thanks for the chance to play.
It took me a while before I would buy a copic marker. I was never happy with my coloring compared to what I was seeing on all the blogs. I was using colored pencils and water coloring. I made a few more cards and then one day I decided to buy 6 copics markers. I have never been happier with my coloring. I love the way they blend and my work looked much more professional! I was so upset with every card I made because of the streaks in my coloring. Now I love to make my cards more than ever before. I would not use anything else on any work I do. If I'm going to take the time to make something, I want it to look it's best.
I wish I had Copics. Then I could color on most any surface!!!
I don't own any copics - I wish I did, but , until my current assorted markers dry up, I have to do without. To jump in is too expensive at this time. I follow the tutorials by Copic Certified instructors, and try to apply similar techniques with my regular markers. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I love sketch markers. I use them to color lined staped images. Love the way the blend and color so smoothly. Want them all, I'm halfway there. Don't tell my husband
Wow, I would love copic markers. I have heard so much about them and would love to try them. I shade with chalks right now mainly. Thanks for the chance.
Angel hugs
Debby
I wish I may I wish I might win some copics here tonight! lol I love my copics I don't even want to use any other to color with. I use it to color blings, metals, paper, just about anything! I LOVE COPIC!
I am always so impressed whenever one of you does a tutorial on using Copic Markers. They lend a very professional art form to all projects. I don't currently own any Copics, but would love to try my hand at using them. Thanks so much for the chance to win!
Have only just started to play with
Copics. They are an amazing product!
I only have one (C1 for shadowing) but I've got the itch to buy a lot more and have been scoping them out to purchase this whole week. I had a chance to play with them at an Archiver's store. They are so different than what I am used to and I'm excited to try them out more.
When I see what my favorite bloggers/crafters are doing with them, it makes me so jealous. I wanna try too!!
I would love to win some Copics! I have a card that was colored with Copics and it is amazing. It looks like the paper is printed in color instead of stamped and then colored with markers!
Comments from bloggers are interesting and it sounds like a person would have to have training to use them. Any classes coming to MN?
Thanks for the chance to win some great blog candy!!
I’ve been a COPIC lurker for a couple years. I didn’t even take the plunge myself. My husband held my hand and gave me some for a gift just a month ago. I’ve been surfing online for all the ways to use them and get better at using them… probably spending WAY more time surfing then I should on practice coloring with them. (I didn’t know there are Colorists. I want to be a Colorist! How cool does that sound!?! Nevermind that I have no color theory that could save me!) I learned the markers can also be used to color embellishments and so when I was making a mask for my Halloween costume, I thought, “Hey, I could use my new COPICs!” (I also tried to use a Sharpie, but it’s NOT the same!). Well, I guess I didn’t wait long enough for it to dry because my husband asked what all the black stuff was on my face… after I had taken the mask off. Well, I’m still surfing on how to use these things, but I also have actually started practicing. Fun times!! “Kids, want to color? Mommy wants to color.”
copics are wonderful!!!! the variety of colors to choose and love the way they blend with each other.....
I know the will improve the quality of my coloring.
thanks for this opportunity!!!
I love copic markers..I am a card marker , I used lot of coloring mediums..prisma pencils/gamasol, prisma marker, watercolors.... etc. but copic markers are best for blending...the lighter shades are awesome. being a busy mom of two ..I love how quick & perfect it is to color with copics and its easy to carry around ..I take them with me everytime to my daughter's dance,karate..classes and color while they are doing their thing. My dream is to own all the colors.. but for now I just started with 25 markers. Thank you all for all the tutorials and videos..thats how I learned to use copic markers. I wish to do my certification soon..but I'm in NJ ..I not sure if you have certification classes nearby.
thank you Copic makers for this wonderful coloring tool.
Hugs
Piali.
I am just learning to use Copics. I've been to a beginner's class and I just loved it. It made me feel like a kid again. I can't wait to learn more! I love the versatility of the Copics!
I am just starting out new with my Copics. I am currently enrolled in Colleen's online class and learning a lot.
Thanks
Ang@todybran.com
I don't have any Copics yet, but I've been eying them. I'm just getting into stamping and admire the beautiful results I've seen talented folks achieve. I would love to play, too! :-)
I don't have ANY copic markers, but I would love to win some! The techniques you could do with them are so cool! Thanks for the chance to win!
I see all the great projects done with Copics and have been want to try them. I don't have any yet, but I sure would love to win some and give them a try.
JoAnn
I just got my Copic sketch markers, now I am just learning how to use them.
Firstly Congratulations to the new Copic blog team ;0)
Thank you also for this fab opportunity.
I am very new to Copics after just receiving my 1st set of Ciaos and already become addicted. I now 'need' all the beautiful colour range. They are just fantastic pens to use and you can tell they are a quality product.
Hugs
Lana from the UK
Love my Copics!! Right now I have the ciaos and I love them!! I think I will need to branch out into sketch at some point just for more colour variance! Awesome markers!!
How awesome it would be to win a set of these Copic markers. No matter what other markers I have used, I can't compete with other non-professional artists without this wonderful system. The colors blend flawlessly, and the number of colors that are offered make this system a must have for anyone who wants to make their cards or other art stand out! The airbrush system is a scenery artists' dream! The skies and waters done with these markers make them look as close to a picture as you can get. No more lines or blotchy or muddy colors when you use this system correctly. I can't wait any longer...I need to win a set so I can feel proud of my work!
I love my Sketch markers! These markers have brought back my love of coloring! They really make it easy to create such well done artwork and can make even ME look good! I also own a few of the Spica glitter pens that I enjoy. I am interested in trying the air brush sometime. :) Thank you for an opportunity to win!!

Who knew you could love a little marker so much. Coloring is fun again! I love to make an image come to life and to move the ink across the paper to create a little piece of art. Copics make that possible, there is no other marker like it. So glad I took the plunge.
I absolutely love the few Sketch markers that I've bought so far. I can't wait to get more and practice with them. Thanks for the chance to win!
I just received my copics and still learning, wish they had classes I could go to.
I don't have any Copics but maybe one day I can aspire to color the way you and other talented ladies do. Love your work. God bless!
I have always hated my colouring until I used a copic marker. For the first time I had good blending and even colouring. Now I'm proud of my images - Nimmy
I use copic sketch for rubber stamping/making cards. I use the copic sketch and the blender solutions. I love them because of the great colors available and how easy it is the blend them.
I enjoy my copics because there's so much information and inspiration about them I love going to the blogs and seeing new and different colour combinations - Nimmy
I love my Copic Sketch markers and always wish I had more. I love the new lights. They are great for backgrounds!
I just bought my first Copics and have made just one project with them so far. i love that you can add depth to images by blending colors and that there are no streaking lines. Now I can't wait to get more. Thanks for the chance to win!
Using Copic markers is like holding a rainbow in my hand.... love the color selection and smooth blending capabilities.
I have mostly Sketch and Ciao style, as I love the brush tips.

Why i LOVE them
C~colors galore
O~oval shape,prevents rolling away
P~plenty long shelf life
I~inspiring tutorials on blog
C~color code by shade and family
S~superb blendability
More Sketch Copic's, please.
I chose the Sketch because I liked how they felt while coloring. And I love the large selection of colors.
I just ordered my first Copic Sketch markers and I can't wait for them to arrive.
I have been waiting, chomping at the bit, I ordered a 36 piece set!
I'm sure that number will grow in no time at all.
I fell in love with Copics right away and had to have them. They have the most amazing color, so bright amd vivid, they just make you feel good.
Budgets are tight these days, so I have had to wait a while, but it was worth the wait.
My Stamps are ready to go!!
Sherrie - I'm a new user of Copic markers and I call them "Cope-ing In Color" ... they don't fatigue my hands, they're forgiving, and the blending is fabulous ie fatigueless, forgiving, fabulous!) [I'd like more info on the certification course (in Canada!)]
I'm just beginning to experiment with my Copics and... WOW... what fun! I never knew I could color so well.... looking forward to many more years of this art form!
Give me Copics or give me death! Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I do LOVE them, especially the sketch markers ;D I use them in almost all of my card creations and I have also used them in some of the projects I teach at a local stamp store. These markers are the cat's pajamas!!
I have seen some beautiful cards created with these markers and I would love to have some to use for the Christmas cards on my agenda. Thanks for the chance.
I just purchased my first Copics and I am so excited to learn how to use them and add to my collection soon!
I love copics because they blend so well and have so many color choices. I have mostly sketch markers but a few of the others.

There is so much I could rave about the copics all day long, but one of the reasons I love them is I can quit leaning over every minute. The way the sketch markerss are designed to not roll of the table is genius. It shows these are truly the top of the line in markers as everything about them has been considered the the consumers in mind.
I love the Copic sketch markers!
I was fortunate and able to take the certification class and I read the blogs for inspiration. The markers are so awesome - they make my stamped images come to life and look so professional. I can't say enough on how wonderful the Copic markers are!
OOOooo! I like my copic markers very much -- it's so easy to make a plain black and white stamped image really pop! I mostly seem to collect copic sketch markers. I am very interested in the air brush -- I think it would add a lot of depth to my work.
I'm loving copics, I just got a shipment of 36 markers and can't wait to start creating my cards with them! BTW what a super giveaway!
Help.....I am so over the moon with the idea that I can win the chance to own such and awesome product. Love how Copic markers are refillable, and that you can change out the tips if they are worn. How green can you get? Add on to the fact that they blend great, have and awesome array of colors and creative women that share their creativity.
In all honesty, I didn't think I needed Copics. My husband had a set of Prismacolor Markers from his college days that worked just fine. So why spend my money on Copics? I had markers that worked just as well, right? I had tried Copics at a stamping retreat, saw Debbie Olsen demo them at summer CHA '08 but hey, I had Prismacolor markers so I was good, right? Then one day a friend sent me some copics to play with. I still didn't want to get caught up in the Copic "craze" but hey, free is free and if someone wants to send them to me, I wouldn't say no. So I get the Copics and gingerly try my hand at them expecting the worse. Wait! Is that really my card? Wow, who colored it? Wait... it was me! With Copics! Wow! Look at the difference from the Copics to the Prismas I was using. I am in love with Copics now. My Prismas are gathering dust now as I head right to the small selection of Copics that I own. I would love to own some more but with the times being what they are, I can't afford to buy them all. So for now the 12 little Copics that I have are earning their keep and would love some friends to keep them company.
It's so exciting the Copic is expanding their education program. I love my Copics (a mix of ciao and sketch) and love that I can slowly expand my collection.
My Copics are the BEST thing I own to craft witrh...love them the certification class I took was Awesome....
LOVE LOVE LOVE me some Copics!!!
I don't currently own any Copics, but would love to have some. Amazing things are done with these markers!!!

I love my sketch copics although I am still trying to master them. Am so impressed with the color clarity and blending .
Am hoping there will be a cert class in my area as this would make me so happy
Thanks for sharing

I just started using copic markers and I love them. I would love a chance to win some so I can add them to my collection.
Thank You
I am totally addicted to Copics! Oh my! Why did they take so long to get to the scrapbooking arena? I took a class last night called "What's the Big Deal?" I have seen the difference and need to start my collection with this give away. So awesome!!
I love my Copics. I have both Sketch and Ciao (Ciao so I can afford to buy more colors.) I started using Copics to color and shade my die cuts on my scrapbook pages. As I became more confident in my blending techniques, I now do stamped images for cards. Copic markers just make it so easy. I saw so many beautiful stamped images on the internet, but with Copic markers, I can do that too. Thank you Copic. I would love to be able to win the set of new colors.
I would love to won some Copic markers! I love how they blend and shade so beautifully!
Okay, I can't believe I'm going to admit this: I bought my first set of Copic Ciao markers because they LOOKED COOL. That's right, I had no idea just how cool they were I just like the way they looked. Of course once I finally used them (I tend to hoard/collect art supplies and just admire them) I flipped! The vibrant colors, the way they felt when sliding across the paper, the blending, I was instantly in love.
I have always watercolored but since buying a few copics I am converting LOL
these are the best I of course need more colors but the finish product you get when you color with these cannot even come close to watercolors or any other medium
love love love them
Hugs

I've tried the Copics once in a class taught by you but haven't been able to get them due to the cost. As soon as I manage to save some money up, they'll be mine.
Life has not been the same since discovering Copics! My poor watercolour pencils sit lonely and neglected in a drawer while my Copics take centre stage - right out there - front and centre! The only problem is they sometimes wish they had more company - you know - the more,the merrier. ;)
I use copics for coloring images for cards and craft projects.
Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved coloring. I even won a $50 prize as a kid for my coloring! Now that I'm an adult I love using Copics to color. I use mostly Copic Ciao but have some Sketch pens also. Coloring my images is relaxing and a stress release for me. Copics are so easy to use and the more you learn about them the better your coloring becomes.

Big congrats to you. I love my copics!! (the ones that I have) I'm just trying to figure out a way to use them at work - ha ha. thanks for the give away - very generous.

When I think of Copic Markers, I think:
C-olors Galore!
O-ver-the-top performance
P-rofessional Quality
I-deal for Blending
C-reativity Unleashed
I am a recent convert to Copics. I had started hearing a lot about them in my quest to learn more about card making and stamping. Everyone had rave reviews and so I had to give them a try. They did not disappoint. I have a small collection of sketch markers now and can't wait to continue collecting and using them on all my stamping projects.
I could talk about Copic markers for hours. It's funny, But I took a shopping trip to a LSS here in town when I heard they had started selling Copic markers. The poor lady behind the counter was trying to show a customer things she could do with them, and I could tell she was lost. I felt bad for her, so I stepped up to the plate and started showing the other shopper how well they blended and how beautiful and vibrant the colors were on paper. She fell in love and promptly started buying. I truly have a passion for these markers and want to get the word out to everyone that it's actually the cheapest marker system you could use to color your stamps (once you reach the refill stage) and the highest quality product. It is a true joy to use these markers. thanks so much for all the fun! hugs!
The more blogs I visit for this opportunity, the more I am longing for my name to be pulled. It's amazing what you can do with these markers! I don't own any, sure wish I did, cuz I'd take the Cert class nearby in Jan 2010!
The colors!!! I love the range and the way they can be blended and shaded. Some days I get to coloring image after image and forget about turning them into cards. Lets face it....it's my therapy! datgh
I absolutely love Copics! And it all started with some blog candy that I won from Mish Mash (Michelle Wooderson). I had long ago given up on ever using markers to make a decent card. I bought & used just about every kind of water-based marker ~ but was always getting streaks ~ just plain ugly. I didn't know how the Copics could give any different results & there was no where local for me to pick up one to try. But when I received one from Michelle ~ my goodness, it colored so nicely ~ no streaks, just nice solid goodness!!! And I was hooked ~ line & sinker!!! Now, I hardly ever use any other coloring medium & would really, really, REALLY love to get ahold of the Airbrush system.
I wish I had Copics so I could improve my coloring skills and bring out my inner artist!
Hello~
I've been an obsessed fan of copics for four years now but I finally got my first custom sketch set about a year ago, and they beat any other marker that I've tried. Along with the sketch markers, I bought a few sp multiliners and they are absolutely amazing! I find that the nib doesn't get ruined as easily as other fine point pens and the fact that if a point did dull i can just buy a replacement nib!
I love coloring with copic because of the easy blending and how smooth it looks on finished pieces. I am an amateur manwha artist and copics bring such vibrancy to my work! These markers are beyond brilliant, and I hope to obtain more :) <3 Thank you~
All of the cards on your blog are beautifully colored using Copic Markers. I don't own any Copics yet, so I'd love the chance to win! Congratulations on your position with Copic!
Copics are just perfect. They are the only marker that I use on my stamped images. I have enjoyed using them ever since I "discovered" them 2 years ago. The marker color is just wonderful so vibrant and crisp. Thank you for a great product and this contest!
I've never used Copic markers, but our lss just ordered and I'm so excited about that. The colors and the blending that I have seen is just fabulous. I would love to take a class to learn!
I have an assortment of original, sketch and ciao markers, and love them all. I've been drooling over the airbrush system, and am hoping that Santa will leave one under the tree for me this Christmas.
I wish I had Copic markers because they seem so versatile and vibrant. I currently only own one (I know, sad right?) which a friend gave me and would love to win more so I could experience the magic of blending and coloring for myself!
I love my Copics! I couldn't work out what the fuss was all about but then i tried them for myself and was hooked! They make colouring so easy and have every colour you could hope to want.

Congrats to the new team! I am so in love with my Copics and I love using them and learning more each time.
Wow- so many entries. I've just started paper crafting and 'copics' look really nice. I'd love to try them. Please include me in your drawing. Love your blog.
I am so very new to Copics but just love them! I have about 2 dozen, mostly Ciao with a few Sketch markers. I was hestitant to try them due to the cost but did a lot of research to learn about blending techiniques and which colors blend well. I very pleased with the Copics!! Thanks for including me in your drawing!!
I do not have any Copic markers yet, but i have signed up for an upcoming certification class and cannot wait to get started.
I don't just want these markers, I neeeed these markers! I love to color and would love to win some of the Copics to work with. Everyone's work looks so nice with them. Pretty please choose me! I neeed them. Thanks for the chance to win.

I’ll start by admitting my love for everything Copic! I had started hearing about Copics, but they weren’t as popular on all the blogs, stores, etc. as they are today. I purchased my first set and was thrilled – it looked like I could actually color! I was amazed because I wasn’t the type of crafter looking for images to color. My first image had me hooked and I was so excited I…no, I didn’t run out and purchase stamps to color, I purchased more copics. Then I “needed” the ABS and the Spica markers and the multiliners. I made charts of what I had and I made wish lists of all the colors I still wanted. I played with the couple of images I had to color and was happy. Then, through blogs like Michelle’s and Debbie’s and Ellen’s I knew I had to have more images to color. So, I stocked up on those and soon realized I needed more colors of my Copics to achieve the look (or at least have a fighting chance to achieve the look) of my favorite bloggers. So, here I am with a Copic wish list as long as when I started because the more you use these amazing markers the more you want…need…covet! So, I would have to say my favorite is the Copic Sketch marker because, while I love the accessories and all the neat techniques that one can try with the ABS, the reinkers, etc., my true love is the amazing Copic marker!
Love my copics and the spica glitter pens. I use in coloring in rubber stamp images. Also use the sketch for airbursh, I have just the gun that attaches to a can, I've been looking at the system you are giving away. I' still learning all that you can use the copics for. Thanks to all of you for sharing your techniques
Thanks for offering such a great giveaway
I LOVE my Copics!! I have mostly Sketch with a few Ciao's thrown in.
I've learned from the best... you are one!
My Copics are my favorite stamping tool! I love to color - a story my mom loves to tell is that when I was about 2.5, she went to get me out of my crib and couldn't find me anywhere. She went into a panic looking for me all over the house, and finally found me quietly coloring. lol I'm excited that a certification class may soon be coming to an area nearer to me!
I can't afford copics, but would really, really love to win some!! They make cards so beautiful!
I've been having fun with some Copic Sketch markers for a couple of months now. I use them to colour outline stamp images and I'm having fun! I've been trying my best to learn from online tutorials; I feel there's lots to learn but I'm still able to come out with a great result! Thanks for this chance!!
I do not own or never seen Copic markers until I started blog hopping in Sept. then I started a blog my self and would love my cards that I color to look as beautiful by using Copic vs. other markers that just don't do the job. I would love the chance to win and hope I do. Thanks for this chance. bjcraftdiva@centurytel.net
I am TOTALLY addicted to my Copics. I'm currently teaching classes at my favorite store in BC and use them in 90% of my class projects. Just LOVE LOVE LOVE them!
What a great giveaway! So fun! I use my Copics with other markers and pencils out on the market. Since Copics have light colors, I use them as the base for all my coloring, then I layer on anything else I have in my inventory. I would LOVE for Copics to release all the colors of Sketch in Caio version. I actually like the feel of the round tube more than I do the squarish tube. And I rather spend a little less money with Caio so I can buy more colors.
I was lucky enough to take a certification class with Sherrie ~ she rocks!!! I would love to add to my little collection ... thanks for the wonderful opportunity.
Sharly
Wow! An opportunity to win Copics! I'll jump for that. I haven't had the privilege of working with Copics yet, due to expense and availability in my rural location. Thanks for the chance to win some!
Would like to be include as I am just getting into copics. I am allready in love..
Congrats to everyone!
After becoming addicted to stampers' (mostly) blogs, I noticed how many bloggers mentioned their fabulous Copic markers. I was intrigued & started reading everything I could about them. I think I've purchased about every marker known to man, over the years, not ever being truly satisfied with the results. I've always been creative, love to color & (now) have a huge collection of stamps. Finally, I took the plunge & found that Copic markers were the answer! So versatile! To date, I have collected 154 Sketch markers, all the Atyou Spica pens, all the Multiliner SP BS pens, a black Copic Ink Pro Wallet Liner Kit Marker Set, one of the airbrush starter sets & the Papercrafting DVD. I couldn't praise Copic highly enough - I love it all!
WOW - this is so cool! I don't have any Copics .... yet, they are on my wish list - but I love the work everyone does with them - LOVE it -

Since the copic sketch markers have the numbering system written on the caps I have found myself easily selecting colors to blend & to create color schemes. I have actually begun exploring color theory using my copics. It is really easy to select a warm or cold shade of a color and find the correct colors from around the color wheel. I find I am growing more confident with my color selections and combinations. Thanks copic!
I use my sketch markers for coloring images, while not as good as you, I get reasonably good results. I am self taught, getting hints from blogs, so they are definitely easy to use. After coloring I like to add some glitz with my spicas
Copics rock! i have mostly Sketch, some ciao, two spica glitter pens, and one multiliner. I love them all!
Copic markers rock! I love the colors and the ability to shade like I'm a real artist :) oh, and the fact that I can blend without the paper fuzzies is priceless!!
I love my Copic Markers! I'm a Certified Instructor by Sally Lynn and have been practicing and teach ever since. My favorite thing is that Copics are so versatile- you can use them on anything! I'm always experimenting!! Thanks for the opportunity to add to my collection!
My name is Sophia and I'm 14 years old. I started using copics a couple years ago when my favourite art started to stock them, and I bought my first two colours: E00 and E27. Before, I was just using sharpies and other random markers to colour my work, and my none of them had any nice skin colours! Of course, I loved the brush tip so much, (it was brilliant for doing hair!) I spent most of my pocket money buying a couple more colours! Then, for my birthday my grandparents bought me a 24 ciao set. It was love at first sight.
Now, I have a lot more now (around 55), and I have filled quite a few of my 5x7 copic sketchbooks up with my drawings! I wasn't that good with them when I started, I always ended up with icky bleeds and colours that went outside the lines. But I read many tutorials online, and eventually created my own style! Rather than going for light to dark for example, I colour in my base colour, then go dark to light. I've never seen anybody else do it this way, and that's whats so great about copics! You can use them in so many ways, and it always turns out fantastiv.
I love the versatility of copic markers. I have used them on school projects, cards, and colouring vinyl figures! I want to thank you for giving me the chance to use them, and all your other amazing products. I currently use your paper, inking pens, and set B of spica's (I use them on a whole bunch of assignments, as well as the finishing touch on a characters eyes!) Thank you for giving me the chance to use such amazing products.
Copics have really changed the way I make cards. I'm not an artist, but I love to create, and these markers make it look like I could be an artist! I hope to take the class in Anaheim this year, because I have gotten passionate about these markers and want to convince everyone that they should get them!
I use my copic markers to make cards and gifts for my family an friend. Everyone is amazed at the coloring. I find them to be the best out there. I still have so much to learn. Copics really do let me express myself creatively.
I LOVE using Copics! I love that you get no lines and they blend so well! I also love the range of colours that are available. I'm so glad I discovered Copic markers.
Thank you for your great tutorials and your creations are wonderful!

I wish I had those Copic Markers beacuse i have almost all the oters, but these are missing! If I don't win I know I will get them eventually, but oh how i want them!!!

Love my Copic markers for the range of colors they offer me. I'm not afraid of color anymore, they are refillable and blend beautifully!
