Monday Coffee for OLO Marker

Hello friends. I'm sharing another card for OLO Marker and their pre-order campaign for the production of their fine nib markers. They sent me several samples of their fine nib markers and I'm creating with two of them today, along with some of their brush markers. Please note, the fine nib markers have their very own website! Scroll down for details! I'll have a clickable supply list at the end of this post.

 (FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.) 

But first, a few details on the fine nib markers. They will only be available for this pre-order in 3 different sets. Eventually, single fine nib markers will be available, but it will be some time.

The latest news? If you pre-order the 256 fine nib marker set, you become a Collector and will receive a 10% discount on all future orders for life!

If you follow me on Instagram, I shared the drawing and coloring of this flower and coffee cup in my reels. Check it out here. It's just 1 1/2 minutes long.

I drew the most basic of flowers. Nothing fancy. AT ALL! So don't think you have to be a super skilled artist to draw. If you see my reel, it truly is all the color that brings it to life!

Here are the OLO Marker colors I used:

Fine nib - BG2.7, BG2.4

Brush - OR3.8, OR1.3, OR1.6

I drew on white cardstock and colored my flower, then used a coffee mug die from the Pretty Pink Posh Winter Mug die set, cutting with my Platinum 6 die cut system. Next, I colored the coffee in and the background colors, then used a white gel pen to add some highlights as accents. I also used BG2.7 for detail work and added embellishment dots to my background.

 

The sentiment is from the Catherine Pooler Designs stamp set Mug Shots. I actually used the word "may" from another stamp in the set to stamp above the quote. The two quotes are meant to be combined as one phrase to read, "May your coffee be strong & your Monday be short". I also used CPD Cargo ink for the stamping. My patterned black checkered paper is from a retired paper pack, but there's lots of similar styles online and even in big box hobby stores.

I thoroughly enjoyed creating this project for OLO Marker. Let me know if you have any questions in the comment section. Have a great day!

Terri

OLO Marker Cards for Scrapbookcom

I have an exciting announcement! OLO Marker is now available at Scrapbook.com! You don't know how happy this makes me. Although I've been an affiliate for some time now for both companies, I've been hoping this would come to pass and am so happy that it has. I know many of you love shopping at Scrapbook.com, as a one stop shop for all your crafting and cardmaking needs, and now you have even more access to these amazing artist markers. So, when Scrapbook.com asked me if I'd like to do a collab with OLO Marker, I gave a very enthusiastic YES! Ok, maybe I was jumping up and down, haha!

Scroll down for details on this pair of cards featuring the exclusive color pairing only available at Scrapbook.com! I'll have my supply/shopping list at the end of this post.

This exclusive "essential" marker set, available only here at Scrapbook.com, includes 8 half brush tip markers, 4 connector rings and a mini blank swatch card. 

The connector rings allow you to easily connect two marker colors to have in your hand at once. Did you know there is more ink in one OLO half marker than any full marker on the market? 

There will be other OLO Marker products sold at Scrapbook.com as well, including other brush marker sets, OLO Marker blending paper. and more. As of this writing, I don't know all of the products that will be stocked, but you can click here to see what's currently available.

The colors featured in the set I'm using today are:

R2.4 Raspberry, V2.3 Beautyberry, B2.2 Sky, BG2.5 Viridian, YG2.3 Muscat Grape, Y1.1 Ginger, O1.3 Marigold, R0.4 Red Grapefruit 

I even did some bokeh coloring on the card panel above with my markers, coloring random circles and half circles on the OLO blender paper, then splattering some Dylusions Black Marble Spray by unscrewing the top and tapping the feeder tube.

For both cards, I used the Scrapbook.com Nested Zig Zag Frames Dies. They're so much fun and add lots of pizazz to my cards! I also used the SBC Party Animals stamp and die set for both cards. They can also be purchased separately.

For my card above, I created a little outdoor scene, using patterned and solid papers from the SBC Birthday paper pad. I also embellished my OLO coloring with highlights using a white gel pen.

I also outlined my die cut sentiments above, using the same OLO marker that I used to color my party animal image.

One of the things I absolutely love about this color combination of markers, is they're bold, joyful and happy colors - perfect for celebration cards!

I ended up adhering my remaining party animal die cuts on the card above, offsetting them and trimming off the edge with my scissors.

I also stamped and colored my sentiment with the same OLO Markers. Speaking of which, have you tried the Gripmate? It was also sent to me by Scrapbook.com and it is amazing! It fits right inside an original Misti but can also be trimmed down to fit a mini Misti stamp positioner. It grips the cardstock and magnets are not required. I love it!! Plus, it also cleans easily with a damp cloth, or baby wipes.

I used it to stamp my images and shared a short reel in my stories on Instagram recently.

You can also use it independently on a glass mat. It works great with stencils too!

Take a look at the zig zag die frame I created above. I actually die cut two colors - a pink solid paper from the birthday paper pad and an orange paper from my SBC Joyful paper pad.

I trimmed my orange zig zag frame at the diagonal and glued it to my pink zig zag frame for a little play on color. I love how it looks, you should give it a try!

I had so much fun creating these cards and I'm so thankful to Scrapbook.com for including me in this fun partnership with OLO Marker.

Let me know in the comment section, and I'll try to answer them. Thanks so much for stopping by!
