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.

 (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)

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!

All About the Eggs with Two Paper Divas Stamps

 I've got a fun card today, featuring one of the new March release stamp sets, "It's All About the Egg", from Two Paper Divas.  There are 6 different eggs with this set and I had so many ideas playing out in my head, it was a bit like sensory overload.  So, I decided to pick one egg, so I could get on with it, haha, and mull over the other eggs another time. 

I think it was Melissa, who did a project recently that featured a retired basket stamp.  Oh, how I wish I had that stamp!  Instead, I made my own basket, drawing it out and stamping it with the TPD background stamp on textured cardstock.

For my eggs, I stamped with a couple juicy inks, then used clear embossing powder with my heat tool and colored in with a little watercoloring.  I love this speckled egg, it is just too cute and there are so many different ways you can go with this stamp.  I also added a sentiment from last month's release, "For Peeps Sake", another new favorite of mine.  I did a little masking on some die-cut clouds and popped them out with foam squares for dimension.

**NEWS FLASH!! - Check in with Two Paper Divas on March 11-13th as we're having a blog hop and there will be prizes to be won!!  Then on March 14th, we're having our monthly challenge with another prize up for grabs.  Lots of fun to be had!

Fathers Day with MPC and Heartfelt Creations Everyday Heroes

The design team is celebrating Father's Day over at Mountain Plains Crafters.  We're all coming up with our own take on celebrating the men in our lives.

Be sure you "like" us on Facebook as we have a fun challenge and giveaway coming up later this month that you don't want to miss!  Here's our Community Facebook page:

Mountain Plains Crafters on Facebook and Twitter Page

I chose to make a Father's Day card for my Dad who was a Navy man and retired Army.

I'm using the Heartfelt Creations,  "Everyday Heroes" Collection.  I wanted to leave as much of the quote on the paper exposed which says, "You stood the test of time with honor, integrity and commitment.  Thank you."

To begin, I made a faux dog tag, those metal tags that identify every soldier.  I used my Spellbinder's Celebra'tions Tag die and cut from a scrap of white cardstock.  Next, I did some heat embossing in white, then painted over the entire tag with the Spellbinders Silk Luster.  It was the PERFECT shade!

I used my We R Memory Keepers Trimmer/Scorer to score around the edges of my tag for that little something extra, then scrounged around my sons room and found this unused little chain that was just what I needed to complete my faux dog tag.

Some of the little touches on my card are paper piecing and 3-D pop ups that I made out of the Every Day Heroes paper, such as this dimensional time piece.

I was able to use my hole punch to punch out some of these tiny words on my paper and have a little focus on this corner where I tore and distressed the papers.  I also created some knotted "ropes" as a throwback to my Dad's Navy days.  I used May Arts Ribbon black/white twine and natural twine and 

tied loose knots with approximately two 16" sections of twine gathered together.

You can also see that I did a little embossing with my Cuttlebug on the top paper, with a cork embossing folder for added texture, and some ink blending as well.

More images from the collection, fussy cut and popped up.

I know my Dad is going to LOVE this card! I really can't wait to give it to him.

Additional Supplies:

Ranger Black Onyx Liquid Pearls, Ranger White embossing powder, Versamark clear embossing ink, FabScraps metal embellishement, Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Ink Brushed Corduroy, gemstones (maker unknown), Bo Bunny Pearlescent, Tombow Mono adhesive runner and foam squares.

You Did It ! Congrats!

Today, my niece graduates from high school.  She's the youngest of my brothers's children, and I'm almost certain, tears will be shed tonight.  She's also a girl after my own heart; a scrapbooker!  I'd like to say I had a hand in it, but she's an independant girl and does her own thing.  However, one thing I do know - she'll appreciate a hand-made card.

I acquired this stamp set, not too long ago, from My Favorite Things.  It's called Photo Booth and has so many fun elements.  It can be used for graduation, a wedding, a party.... so many occasions.  I also used the coordinating dies to make the chat bubbles.  It's a super fun set and I appreciate MFT so much for sending me this set to play with.

The papers that I chose are from the We R Memory Keepers Inked Rose 6"x6" paper pad.  I LOVE this set.  I mean, really love it.  I've stripped it down to the bare bones so I'll have to find more because it has the most gorgeous polka dot and striped papers EVER!  

To set this piece off, I used my May Arts chevron ribbon and glued it with adhesive dots.  I have several colors of the chevron and they are some of my absolute favorites.  The colors are so fresh and that's just one of the things that keep me coming back to May Arts Ribbon.  

Thanks for stopping by!  I've got a giveaway still going that ends Sunday, Mar. 24th, so look for the post about Deb's Blogiversary if you'd like to enter.

I'm also entering my card into these challenges:
