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

Card Trio for OLO Marker plus NEWS!

Hello friends, I'm so happy to help share some exciting news for OLO Marker. This has been many, many months in the making. Everyone has been asking for fine tip nib markers and OLO Marker has been working hard to bring this product line to life. Yes! This will work like a kickstarter campaign and the fine tip nib markers will have a home of their own, not available on the OLO Marker website.

Scroll down for all the details on my card trio, plus information on production for these new markers.

 (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.) 

I'm no expert on all the in's and out's of a kickstarter program. But, this campaign will take pre-orders. Initially, the fine tip nib markers will only be available in 3 different sets for this campaign goal of pre-orders:

64, 128 and 256 color sets. Tap here to see the colors available in each set and to pre-order. Get all the FAQ's here.

(Pictured below, 64 color set)

Eventually, individual markers will be available but it will be some time before that happens.

OLO Marker kindly sent me some of their fine tip nib markers to try out. As a colorist, it can be challenging to color small details with a brush marker. With the new fine tip nib markers, you don't have to worry about coloring outside the lines!

I used two of the fine tip nib markers to color the tiny details. For the leaves, I used BG2.7 and for some of the tiny blooms, I used BV1.2

The remaining coloring was done with OLO brush markers in these colors:

OR1.3, OR1.6, OR4.4, B2.2

I also used a white gel pen for highlight accents and added paint splatters to my background.

The paper circle die cuts were created using papers from my Joyful paper pad from Scrapbookcom as well as a sentiment from one of their stamp sets called "Thanks Friend". My butterfly was from a retired Gina K Designs stamp set called "Blooming Butterfly".

Thanks so much for stopping by. Head over to the OLO Marker Fine Tip Nib website and have a look around! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Bestie Girl Foiled Card for Spellbinders

Hello friends, time is drawing to a close if you'd like to join any of the Spellbinders Clubs this month and receive the current selections. Today's card features the Stamp/Die of the Month selection and the Glimmer Hot Foil Club Kit. Scroll down for details!

 (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 Stamp and Die Club Kit is called, Go-To-Girl and it's the cutest set ever! I had so much fun coloring up the image that's featured above. Plus, there are numerous sentiments which is always a plus when  making a purchase.

The Glimmer Hot Foil Club Kit is called, "Luxe Loops" and it's such a cool, trendy design. I opted to do some tone on tone foiling with some dark pink cardstock using my Glimmer Hot Foil System and the foil included with this months kit, Bright Pink. Keep in mind, selection on the foils you receive does vary.

I also sealed my foiling, using my Platinum 6 die cut machine. This, and the Glimmer machine, go hand in hand when foiling. You simply remove your platform, then run it through the Platinum 6 to seal it.

All of my coloring was done with OLO Markers. Here are the colors that I used:

OR2.5, O2.4, RV0.2, YO2.3, OR1.4, OR4.4, RV0.4, YG8.5, OR3.4, RV0.1

Spellbinders sells OLO Marker sets on their site, however, if you're looking for specific individual markers, you can find them on the OLO Marker site here.

Also, if you look closely at my die cut girl above, you'll see she was adhered to a second die cut outline with my green cardstock. This was offset just a bit and helps to not only tie in all the green colors together, but let her stand out a bit amongst all the pink.

 

Thanks so much for popping in today. Remember, if you wish to try out any of the Club Memberships, you are under no obligations. You can cancel at any time. Some crafters find a particular month may not be their style and opt to skip a month by canceling, then re-joining.  

Get all the details on all the club memberships, here.

See you next time, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Terri

Fall Colors featuring OLO Marker and Altenew

Hello friends, I've had some Altenew products in my stash that have never seen the light of day, so I thought I would color up a Fall-ish card with pops of greenery. I'm featuring OLO Marker coloring as well, my favorite artist markers! Scroll down for details.

 (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.)

 

The Altenew products I'm creating with today are the Floral Serenade Press Plate, the Classical Sentiments Press Plates Set and the Ivory Black Foil.

Yes, I foiled with my press plates! I used my Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System and foiled with these plates just like you would with hot foil plates. My images turned out great! I also ran my plates/foiled images through my Platinum 6 die cut machine to seal the foiling.

I used 6 different OLO Markers for my coloring as pictured above:

OR1.6 - Orangutan

YO2.5 - Yellow Ochre

YG8.5 - Moss

YG2.5 - Avocado

YO2.2 - Pudding

O2.7 - Cinnamon

After foiling my image, I started coloring all my blooms and greenery. Once that was complete, I went in with my OLO Marker in Orangutan to color my entire background.

I highly recommend at least 80-100 lb weight smooth cardstock for coloring. I also try to color in sections and keep my marker to the paper as much as possible to avoid uneven coloring. This is when quality paper helps. Also, quality markers! If you are not using quality artist markers, that may be a reason you have uneven coloring, (splotches, streak marks).

For my foiled sentiment, I did my own hand trimming around the wording. I decided to color all around my sentiment with the same marker I used for the background. I really like how it seamlessly blends in!

I also splattered on some white paint and glued on some tiny orange sequins from one of my Catherine Pooler sequin mixes, for added sparkle.

I am so smitten with this color combo, give it a try! Tap any of my affiliate links below for more product information or to shop. These are provided at no additional cost to you. Thanks so much for dropping in today, have a great week!

Terri
