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

Easter Critter Card for Spellbinders

Spellbinders has revealed their club memberships for February, and I'm sharing my card featuring the Stamp & Die of the Month Club Kit. "Spring Smiles" is the name of this months set and it's absolutely adorable! I was so smitten, I also carried some of my details to the inside of my A2 sized card. Scroll down for creative details, with my supply list at the end.

 (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 wanted to show you my photo below, before I assembled my card. My card panel was created by placing masking tape over the lower portion of my card, then stamping directly over the edge of the tape. One of the stamps included in this months set is a trio of blooms. I promptly chopped those blooms into 3 pieces. They'll be easy to stamp as a group next time, so no worries.

I did however, want to angle some of my blossoms, because sometimes I like to be a little extra, hehe. After stamping, I peeled off my tape and proceeded to color my images.

I also did some die cutting with my critter images and some of my blooms. This kit includes 8 dies to accommodate all the images in the stamp set.

I colored all my images with OLO Markers and Spellbinder offers OLO Marker sets on their site. If you're already a club member, you get 10% off other products on the Spellbinders site. If you wish to purchase individual markers, you can visit the OLO website, here. 

Here are the colors I used:

Birds: OR1.3 Papaya, OR1.6 Orangutan, YO2.3 Buttercup, YO2.2 Pudding, RV0.1 Cotton Candy, RVO.2 Bubble Gum, YG2.5 Avocado

Blooms: OR1.3 Papaya, YO2.3 Buttercup, RV0.1 Cotton Candy, YG2.5 Avocado

Bunnies: RV0.1 Cotton Candy, RVO.2 Bubble Gum, C-G1 Cool Gray 1

I also used a white gel pen to dot the inside of each floral bloom, to highlight the dots on the bunny and bird bow ties and add more embellishment to my birds bodies.

Although the Quick & Easy Card Club Membership did not make a comeback this year, I did use my papers from an older Spellbinders card kit that I had in my stash. The August 2023 Quick & Easy ard kit, The Fun Life, includes some of my favorite papers and I'm so glad I still had some left. The brown trim, however, was from some scraps in my stash.

There are still some of The Fun Life kits available on the site and if you're a current member of any of the Spellbinders Clubs, you'll get an additional 10% discount.

I still had some floral die cuts that I didn't use on the front of my card, so I decided to create a little scene on the inside. I actually trimmed the floral bottoms to be flush with the curvy hillside that I trimmed with my scissors. It was easier to do this and adhere everything flat, with no bumps from the die cuts. You can always do simple stamping and then cover the bottoms with paper, but I wanted to use up my die cuts.

 

My sentiments were stamped with Catherine Pooler Ink in Midnight for the inside of my card, and Succulent for the outside. Succulent is actually not available yet to the public until Feb. 5th, tomorrow!

Check out all the Spellbinders Clubs, here. If die cutting is not your thing and you prefer to put your pennies elsewhere, you can opt to join the Stamp of the Month Club to receive the stamp set only.

Keep in mind, current club members will automatically receive these club selections. New subscribers can join starting Feb. 6th-27th. Packages will ship after the end of the month. It is possible this club kit will sell out fast, so don't wait too long to join, if you really want this months selection. You can cancel at any time, and re-join again at any time!

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

Terri

Rosy Love Card for Erin Lee Creative

I've been showcasing products from the new Erin Lee Creative release this week, and here's another. I've also been crushing on pink lately, and today is no different. This card features 3 different products from the new Birds of a Feather collection. Scroll down for creative details, plus my clickable supply list at the end. Plus, how you can get a discount!

 (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.)

First, let's talk about the frame. The Vintage Floral Hot Foil Frame & Die Set is one of the new products. I did some foiling with this frame, but saved the negative for use on this card. I took my negative sheet and used my solid hot foil plate with my Glimmer hot foil system. The foil I used is Spellbinders Espresso Bean and it was adhered to pink cardstock. 

Now if you don't have a solid hot foil plate, you can still adhere the negative foil! Just spray your cardstock with adhesive spray, such as Pixie adhesive spray from Thermoweb, allow to dry for a minute, then apply your negative foil over the sprayed cardstock, smoothing with a bone folder or pencil. For best results, do not peel off the top foil liner, leave intact! You'll have gorgeous shine! I'll link the spray in my supply list for those who wish to purchase.

I tried to get an image below, of the shimmer and shine from that foiling.

Next, are the roses from Vintage Rose Bouquet die set. The rose blooms and leaves were die cut with my Platinum 6 and pink paper from a paper pad. I did some ink blending around the edges with my Ranger Distress Oxide ink in Vintage Photo.

I also cut the large bouquet die with kraft paper, then layered my blooms and leaves on top, popping them up with adhesive foam. I did some paint splattering as well.

I did some digging through my scrapbook paper stash and found some paper with a pretty pink and purple sky. I trimmed it down and adhered it directly to the back of my frame. The frame dies for the Vintage Floral Frame actually come with an outline die and a die to cut out the inside of the frame.

 

Lastly, my sentiment is from the new Love Birds stamp/die set. I did some masking with tape to stamp the word love in pink. It's helpful to have a stamp positioner to use the mask technique. My final touch is a burlap string bow and button, hot glued over the stems of my paper flowers.

This would make a lovely Valentine, anniversary or wedding card. If you shop through any of my affiliate links for Erin Lee Creative on this blog post, you will get a 10% discount. Woo hoo! 

Some of the other products that I used can be found at Scrapbook.com, so if you also wish to purchase any other products linked below, be sure and use code CRAFTY at checkout, through Feb. 2nd at midnight MST for an additional 10% discount on your entire purchase. Two great discounts for you today!

Happy crafting and thanks for stopping by!

Terri
