Splitcoast is hosting daily challenges through the entire month of October, and asking members of the paper crafting community to create cards in support of cancer patients and their families and mail them to national partner MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX. Copic Marker is pleased to offer FOUR of these great new Copic Coloring Cases as prizes for four lucky participants in the Hope You Can Cling To campaign. It’s a campaign of the sweetest type – you have the opportunity to color, spread a little hope with your handcrafted cards and be eligible to win!

You can find general information for the Hope You Can Cling To campaign, including information on how to play and a handy tracking sheet to keep track of your entries, here. You can find a master list of the challenges presented thus far right here. It’s updated daily for new inspiration, and there are a variety of themes, so participation easy. And, just in case you aren’t familiar with Splitcoast, it’s a free papercrafting community where thousands of card ideas and tutorials are shared in the galleries and their resource archives. It’s a fun place to be. You can find the details here. You can sign up for your free account and start sharing here.

Splitcoaststampers will announce the four lucky Copic Coloring Case winners the second week of November! Good luck!

Copic now carries a new, larger version of the popular ComicMaster light box to meet all your light box needs.  The ComicMaster A3 has the same great features as the smaller A4, but with a few more inches of elbow room.  The A3 is ultra-thin and ideal for use in a home studio, the office, or around town (provided there is an outlet of course).  Anywhere you use it, the ComicMaster’s LED lit surface provides an even glow that will never run hot or flicker.  Better still, with LED lighting there are no bulbs to be broken in transit.  Lightweight yet completely durable, the ComicMaster is a great tool for any artist, anywhere.

Check out both light tables, and other awesome accessories here.

Have you seen the new 4pc Multiliner Pen sets yet? Now available in assortments of Sepia, Gray, Fine Black, and Broad Black, these sets just arrived and are already flying off the shelves.

The Copic Multiliner Pens are seriously the best inking tools you’ll ever pick up. The pigment-based ink flows smoothly, for a clean and precise application.  The ink is also archival, acid free, and even waterproof (test this — I didn’t believe it until I tried and failed to smear the ink with water).

To see examples of what artists are doing with these pens, check out the 2011 Copic Catalog, where we featured a number of artists’ work. Check out our Multiliner page for more information on other available colors and nib sizes.

Tip: if you’re thinking long term, check out the refillable Multiliner SP. The SP contains the same superior quality ink, but in an aluminum body style with refillable ink cartridges and replaceable nibs.

We’ve searched the world over (quite literally) to find the best papers, and an exceptional paper that we’ve discovered is the Blending Card by X-Press It. The super smooth, silky surface on this paper allows for crisp lines and seamless blending of colors.  You won’t believe how smooth it is until you give it a try. It’s that good. The bright white, 92lb cover weight keeps colors sharp even when layering lots of colors in one spot. Plus, it’s laser & inkjet compatible, so you can use it for mixed media projects too. Acid free & archival.

Check out our new store finder to locate a store in your area that carries the Blending Card. Test it out, but be prepared: you just might fall in love with this stuff.
