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.

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

Coffee Loving Papercrafters Hop feat Pajama Crafter Stamps

Hello lovelies. It's time for the Coffee Loving Paper Crafters Fall/Winter Blog Hop! 'Tis the season to link up your newly created card, be inspired and maybe even win a sponsored prize. Tap the link above and check out the rules. You have until Nov. 14th to link up. I'll have highlighted text throughout this post, if you'd like to tap for product details or wish to shop! Today's card features the Pajama Crafter Stamps Pumpkin & Spice stamp set, paired with OLO Marker coloring.

I did a little Googling to find a color palette that might fit with some of the marker colors I had on hand and found this gorgeous assemblage of colors, which inspired my cardmaking today. I don't often work with pre-fabricated color palettes, but chose to do so today, for the fun of it!

I started by stamping my image using a hybrid ink from Scrapbookcom called Leather. It's one of my favorites for stamping in natural tones, and it works well with either alcohol markers or watercoloring.  They're having a sale right now and coupon code HOLIDAY will get you an additional 10% off your purchase through Sunday Nov. 9th. Check out the coupon section for add-on freebies!

These are the OLO Marker colors I used:

OR1.0, O4.6, Y2.2, OR4.2, YO2.5, YO2.3, YG8.5, 02.7, OR3.4, R0.6, OR2.5, OR1.6, YG8.7

After coloring my images, I masked an area around the whipped cream with mint tape and splattered on some Pops of Color liquid embellishment in Chocolate Kiss, diluted with a bit of water. Then, I went in and added extra dots from the bottle, onto my whipped cream.

Here's a bonus tip: To get your liquid embellishments flattened so it doesn't dry with a curl, take your embellished card panel, pick it up and slap it against a hard surface like your craft table. This will flatten your liquid embellishment drops. 

For my sentiment, I did some heat embossing using Wow Embossing Powder in Verdant which is a mix of gold and green colors. I also did some ink blending around my card panel using Catherine Pooler Ink in Icing On The Cake and Amber.

Lastly, the backing for my card panel was created using a dark solid green paper from my Market Bloom paper pad and Simon Hurley Bark 3D embossing folder, run through my Platinum 6 die cut system.

Thanks so much for stopping in. I adore this stamp set from Pajama Crafter Stamps and it comes with several different sentiments. I hope you'll join the hop, get to making!

National Coffee Week at Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Hello friends, I'm guesting over at Coffee Loving Papercrafters today, in honor of National Coffee Week. Wahoo! I love nothing more than a good, caffeinated party! Be sure and head over there for all the fun festivities this past week and be sure and check out the sponsor industry hop over on Instagram. Today's card features a gorgeous new stamp set from Pajama Crafter Stamps called Pumpkin Spice and I absolutely love it!

 (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 release comes with the main image, 5 different sentiments and several additional leafy images. Let me say, when coloring coloring stamped images, I highly recommend you use a quality, smooth cardstock, such as Neenah Solar White Smooth or Ultra Smooth. At minimum, at least 80 -100 lb weight. Paper matters, trust me. I've seen so many novice cardmakers over the years post about not getting good results and ultimately, it boils down to quality paper and quality artist markers.

For my coloring, I used OLO Markers in these colors:

OR2.3 - Salmon

OR1.6 - Orangutan

OR7.4 - Milk Tea

YO2.7 - Sepia

O2.7 - Cinnamon

OR4.2 -  Pink Granite

YO2.5 - Yellow Ochre

YO2.3 - Butterscotch

YG8.5 - Moss

I stamped my image several times so I could do some hand trimming of my designs for paper piecing.  I trimmed all around the cup, using it as a template to trace onto the plaid which was then hand trimmed again. 

Next, I colored the large pumpkin, leaf and flower that juts up to the side of my cup, and hand trimmed them to adhere to my finished card panel at the end.

Now, it's time to assemble. I adhered my plaid paper cup to the image, colored all the remaining images, then adhered my extra pumpkin, leaf and flower. I love plaid so much. It's my absolute favorite paper and I use it a lot for Fall and Winter projects. All my papers are from Scrapbookcom paper pads. The plaid paper is from the Cozy patterned paper pad and the orange and brown paper is from the Joyful patterned paper pad. Both paper pads are double sided and have patterned and solid papers included.

To frame my card, I used the Nested Postage Stamp Polaroid Frame dies, also from Scrapbookcom. I used the largest one in the set, which works perfectly for A2 sized cards. I've had these dies in my stash for awhile, but never used them. I was so pleased with the results and how it complements my colorful image! I die cut twice with my Platinum 6 die cut machine - once with my colored image and once with the brown paper, then swapped out the center pieces. Easy peasy!

 

As you can see, I also trimmed a section of the plaid paper as a backing to my sentiment, then added some embellishment to my card using burlap string and a half pearl from a shaker mix, which were both adhered with a hot glue gun.

This is a vertical card that measures in at 4 x 5.50 inches which is just under A2 size. I did trim the side of my white card just a bit before assembling, to have all my trimmed papers and die cut frame appear equal in dimension. I typically eyeball everything as I'm working and measure later, 'cause that's how I roll, haha.

Thanks so much for popping in. If you'd like more product information or wish to add some of these yummy goodies to your stash, just tap any of the affiliate links below, provided at no additional cost to you. I hope you have a fantastic, creative weekend!
