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

National Greeting Card Day with Pajama Crafter Stamps

Hey friends, I'm just popping in with a short post. Today is National Greeting Card Day and Easter is just days away. I just received this adorable stamp set from Pajama Crafter Stamps and I couldn't wait to ink it up. 'Tis the season! I'm featuring the Egg-stra Special stamp set, colored with OLO Markers. Scroll for a couple quick details.

I used two images and one sentiment from the stamp set. I wanted to create a little scene that has the 3 little chicks walking away from the painted egg, leaving a trail of paint puddles and droplets along the trail. Yes, that's how my brain works, haha. I get a creative idea and just roll with it!

Once I stamped my images, I used a fine liner black pen to draw in a sloped hillside, along with adding some design to my egg and the paint puddles and droplets.

The OLO Markers that I used are pictured above. They're perfect spring colors too!

I used a variety of Catherine Pooler inks, dabbing different colors onto my stamp. It helps to use a stamp positioner, in order to do multiple stampings for the right depth of color. I also used the CP ink to ink blend my sky using the torn paper technique, where you rip some thin computer paper and ink blend directly over the edge, then repeat. I also used masking tape to mask off the area where I wanted to ink blend the partial sky.

The lavender paper that I used for my card panel backing is from the new Scrapbookcom Classic Cardstock collection and is called Amethyst. Isn't it so pretty? I just love that color. I did also do some embellishing on my egg with a white gel pen.

So that's my quick post for the day. Tap any of the highlighted areas for more product information or to shop. I hope you have a wonderful Easter!

Pastel Coffee Card

Hello friends! Lordy, I have had a lot of life issues lately and I needed something to distract me. My computer crashed, we just had severe weather and some storm damage to our house with a massive tree blown down in our backyard, and next week I have to have 2 biopsies to determine whether or not I'm going to battle breast cancer like my mom and sister did. Whew!

Thankfully, I have a little reprieve from all the drama. The Coffee Loving Papercrafters Spring/Summer blog hop is here. This is a traditional industry hop, so you'll just hop around at all the industry designers projects and leave comments for the chance to win prizes. Click the link above for all the details.

Let me tell you, trying to write up this post is a major challenge. I haven't got my computer fixed yet so I'm managing on my son's Mac Air which has been dormant so long, the battery won't hold a charge and I had to keep it plugged up to type this post.

I also don't know my way around a Mac Air. I can't figure out how to copy and paste!!! I was somehow able to drag the link above from CLP but it was a struggle.

Although I'm not linking this card to the hop, as it's not a participant hop, as a Brew Crew member at CLC, I just wanted to share the love, promote and support my caffeinated friends!

I opted to create with Gina K Designs products today.  I saw some Instagram posts today where some designers were hopping just for fun in celebration of Gina K Designs.

I've had one of her stamp sets in my stash for a few months, that I haven't inked up yet, so the timing was just right.

I paired the Blossoms in Bloom stamp set with the Daily Grind stamp set, coloring my images with OLO Markers. I kept it simple, choosing only 3 colors that worked as pastels; RV0.2, YO2.3 and BG2.4. I wanted have lots of color and get creative with the bloom by making "rainbow" pastel colors on each flower petal. I love how it turned out! I also used those same markers to swipe the edges of my sentiment and to color up my coffee cup.

 

I also did some embellishing with a white gel pen, Pops of Color liquid embellishment (Soft Lavender) and tapped on some black ink splatters using the tube feeder of my Dylusions Black Marble spray.

A good inky time was had by all, and I thoroughly enjoyed the distraction!

I hope you'll make time to go enjoy all the inspiration on the hop! Have a great day!

Terri
