More Altenew With Multi-Step Florals

Hello! It’s Lisa back again today with another Altenew floral project, but this time with a multi-step stamp set called Winter Rose. If you’ve seen a few of my projects then you know I just love floral images, and Altenew makes some of the best multi-step flowers around. When I saw the Winter Rose set during the last release I had to have it.

For today’s card I used another whimsy color scheme, and I really like it…

To create this card I stamped the flowers following the guide on the back of the stamp set with Altenew Cherry Blossom Ink Pad Set of 4, and Jet Black. The leaves were stamped with the Altenew Rock Collection Ink Pad Set of 4. Next, I decided to add some shimmer with Spectrum Noir Glitter Pens. I brushed two of the corners and added some clear over the flowers.

I love the shine from these pens, and in person they are so much better! The finishing touch came with the Pretty Pink Posh Clear Sequins.

Thank you so much for stopping by today, and don’t forget there is still a little bit of time left to enter the Fall Contest!

Happy Crafting!

Warm Wishes

Hello, MarkerPOP! Are you ready for cooler weather? I know I am! We experienced our first fall cool front today! The highs were in the 70s. I will take it! I am so ready to bring out the sweaters and the cocoa mugs!

Today, I created a CAS card using Elizabeth Craft Designs Candyland stamp set and ZIG Clean Color:

I love the look Versamark ink leaves on kraft cardstock. I love to used it to create my own background on cards! I took a few of the stamps from the stamp set and randomly placed them over the card. I stamped an extra gingerbread man onto another piece of cardstock. This image is colored in using ZIG Clean Color markers. The image is cut out using the coordinating dies for the Candyland stamp set. The sentiment is stamped onto a strip of cardstock and attached to the card.

The following ZIGs were used on today’s card:

022, 047, 072

Check out the current contest!

Thank you for stopping by!

Altenew and Die Cut Flowers

Today’s card is a bit whimsy and pretty! Hi! It’s Lisa here today with you and the card I’ve created mixes unrealistic floral colors with a beautiful and sparkly stenciled background.

I loved the Fantasy Floral Die Set by Altenew the minute I saw it! It’s so unique, creates depth, and you can mix and match colors to your heart content. For my flower and leaves I used the Lawn Fawn Watercolors Paper Pad. After I cut flower and put it all together I decided it needed a sparkly background to pop off the page. The Nuvo Glimmer pastes are perfect for such a thing and I chose the Golden Crystal and Moonstone to mix over the Altenew Sketched Lines Stencil.

For a unique edge I used the My Favorite Things Stitched Basic Edge Dies. The only thing left was which sentiment to use. I decided to use a large sentiment, and the Altenew Envelope Liner Die Set worked. A few Gold and Sparkling Clear Sequins.

Don’t forget about the awesome Video Contest going on and join in!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Happy Crafting!

Holiday Baking!!

Good evening everyone… I hope you are having a Great Tuesday!!! It’s almost time to start thinking about those Christmas cards and Neat & Tangled has just released some sets that are perfect for your Holiday crafting!! I’m using the Holiday Baking set and coordinating dies from the September Release.

I started by creating a top folding A2 size White card base with some Neenah Solar White. Then I cut the second piece using the large stitched rectangle die from MFT Blueprints #15 (retired). I used the MFT Inside Out Stitched Circle STAX die-namics to cut a circle in the panel. I added a piece of Doodlebug’s Milk and Cookies paper behind the circle so it would look like a Brick wall. I die cut a piece of Echo Park’s Fall is in the air 6×6 paper using the MFT Stitched Hillside die-namics to create a wood Floor look. Then I stamped the sentiment with some Lawn Fawn Black Licorice ink in the lower corner and adhered the panel to the card front with Nuvo Deluxe adhesive.

I stamped the images onto some X-Press it Blending paper using Lawn Fawn Licorice Ink and then I colored them in with Copics markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut the images it out and I adhered them in the circle with some foam tape and tape runner.

My card was complete and I manage to get a little drop of red ink on the edge (don’t you hate when that happens?) so I added some Neat & Tangled Peppermint Stick Sequins. I also added some Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen Glitter in Clear to parts of the images.

I used the following Copics:

B21,B23, B26, G07,YG03,YG17, C00, C1,C3, 0, W0, W1, W4, W6, W2, E31, E35, E34, E25, E74, E23, E70, E71, E77, R24, R27, R29, R20 & R89.

Thanks for stopping by today.. Have a great rest of the week!

Yay, it’s Friday!!! Who’s ready for the weekend? Before I get to my project today I wanted to remind you about the Fall Video Challenge we have going on… You can click the banner below for more details. There are 3 Gift cards up for grabs to the store !! If you don’t do videos that’s okay you can submit a Photo Tutorial as well for a chance to Win.. Head over and check out the details!

I’m using some Fun new products from My Favorite Things today for a Birthday card sure to make the recipient SMILE!

I started with a piece of Bristol Smooth paper and I added die cut the panel with the MFT Blueprints #27. Then I added some Mustard Seed Distress ink to the Background. I smooshed the pad onto my craft mat and spritzed the ink with some water. Then I smooshed the paper into the ink until I had the coverage I wanted. I heat set the panel with a heat tool and then I added a few splatters of water and picked up the excess with a paper towel.

Then I die cut Smile from the center of the Panel using the Double the Smiles Die-namic from MFT. I adhered some washi tape behind the panel and then I die cut Smile three more times from some Black Licorice cardstock. I inlaid the Black die cut Smile and then added a second and third layer as well. The card base is Neenah Solar White 110 lb cut to A2 Size, then I added some Fun Foam to the back of the panel and adhered it to the card front and set it aside.

I stamped a sentiment from the coordinating All Smiles stamp set from MFT and used the Essential Fishtail Sentiments Strips Die-namics to cut it out. Then I adhered it under SMILE on the front of the card with some foam adhesive. I stamped the little bears from the Adorable Bitty Bears set from MFT onto some Bristol Smooth as well and I colored them in with Distress Ink Markers and a Nuvo Aqua Brush.

Distress Markers used: Hickory Smoke, Pumice Stone, Festive Berries and Mustard Seed.

I used the coordinating die-namics to cut the images out and I adhered them to the card with Foam tape. These little bears are a must have, they coordinate well with any word set and they are perfect for all occasions.

Thanks for stopping by today!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Hello, MarkerPOP friends! Can you believe that it is October already? Before we know it, it will be Thanksgiving! Do you have the Thanksgiving dinner at your house or do you go visit somewhere else? I usually go to my in-laws, but I always bring along a few side dishes.

Today I am working with the Hero Arts Thanksgiving Table and ZIG Clean Color Markers:

This stamp set includes several little images. I decided to use them to create a background print. I used the MISTI to help with the placement of the stamps. To fill in some of the empty space, I stamped green leaves. I used a variety of ZIGs to color in the images. The sentiment is stamped on a strip of cardstock and attached to the card.

The following ZIGs were used on this card:

024, 035, 040, 047, 064, 065, 067, 070, 072, 091, 092, 095

Open The Front Door With Lawn Fawn Cuteness!

Hello! It’s Lisa here with you today and it’s time to get interactive, but in the easiest way ever! The Lawn Fawn Winter Release contained this adorable Door Die called Shut The Front Door. (Best name ever, don’t you think?!) This die makes it possible to hide anything you want behind the door, and allows the recipient to open the door and find the surprise! And all it takes is a little die cutting!

The front of this card just begs to be opened! To create the look of a house I used an older Lawn Fawn Paper Pad, but you can use what you have in your stash or one of their newer Paper Pads that are available in the store. Since I was going with a Christmas theme for this card I decided to go with whimsical house colors too. The trim along the top was an idea I had after seeing the owner of Lawn Fawn, Kelly Marie Alvarez, do it on one of her videos. I also mimicked the look of bushes by taking a decorative circle die and trimming off the bottoms. But let’s move on to the super cute part of this card…

The INSIDE!!! Look at that cute little Penguin wishing you a Merry Christmas!!! This little guy can be found in the Lawn Fawn Toboggan Set, and of course I had to give him a hat. I used my Spectrum Noir Markers to color him in and scissor to cut him out. There is also a matching die set to this stamp, but I sometimes like to cut things out by hand.

The sentiment comes from the latest Mama Elephant Stamp Set called Puffy Holiday Greetings. I used my Distress Oxide Ink in Candied Apple. I chose this ink as I knew it would leave a crisp impression, as well as cover the patterned paper I was stamping it onto.

Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out my card today! I hope it brought you a little smile, and maybe some inspiration to crafty too! Make sure you check out our awesome Fall Challenge, which contains some pretty amazing giveaways too!!!

So go on with your bad self and get crafting!

Sending Birthday Wishes

Hello, MarkerPOP friends! It is football season! I am not sure about where you live, but on the weekends here, the skies are full of planes with advertisement banners.

So with that in mind, here is my card using the Waffle Flower’s Across the Miles and ZIG Clean Color markers:

The airplane and banner are stamped in black ink. Once the ink dried, I used ZIG Clean Color markers to color in the scene. I added blue sky around the images. To add some design to the top of the panel, I stamped a hot air balloon and added some die cuts of clouds. The panel is cut out using a fancy rectangle die and attached to kraft cardstock.

The following ZIGs were used on today’s card:

010, 022, 030, 047

Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Friday everyone, Holly here today. I’m running a little late this week, I can’t believe September is almost over!!! Before I get to my card today I wanted to remind you there’s still time to join our Chameleon Pen giveaway...You can find all the details in this post here. We also have a Fall Video Challenge going on and our Bi-Weekly Challenge to check out!!

My project today features the WPlus9 Summer Citrus and Basic Labels Set and coordinating dies.

I started with a piece of Bristol Smooth paper and then I stamped the solid image of the Pineapple and stems using Distress inks. I used Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed for Pineapple and Peeled Paint for the stems. I stamped each image with the Distress ink and then I spritzed it before stamping down onto the paper. Once I had the images stamped where I wanted them I spritzed the paper making the ink move around a little and I heat set it with a heat tool. I added a few splatters of the same colors of Distress Ink and heat set it on more time. Then I stamped the outline images over the Solid images off centered just a little with VersaFine Jet Black Ink.

Then I added a few splatters of Black Soot Distress Paint to the background and heat set everything one last time. I trimmed a 1/16 of an inch of each side and adhered the panel to a top folding Black Licorice card base. I stamped the label and sentiment from the Basic Label set in VersaFine Black ink and used the coordinating die cut to trim it out. I adhered the label over the pineapples with some foam tape. I added some Sequins from the Neat & Tangled Peacock Feathers Mix and Pretty Pink Posh Black 4mm.

Thanks for stopping by today.. Be sure to check out our Giveaway and Challenges listed above!!

Hey, Sugar!

Hello, MarkerPOP friends! As Halloween/Fall décor is starting to fill the stores, I have noticed a growing trend with Sugar Skulls. The Day of the Dead décor is seen everywhere! And I don’t know about you, but I love the bright, bold colors the décor includes. So when I saw the Sugar Skulls stamp set from Hero Arts, I knew that I needed to get my hands on it!!

So today, I am sharing my first card (I have so many ideas for this set, that I know there will be more!), using the Hero Arts Sugar Skulls stamp set and ZIG Clean Color markers:

The first step I took making this card, was stamping the skulls down the edge of watercolor cardstock. I used the masking technique while stamping the skulls. I used a dark gray ZIG around edges of the skulls and spread the color using water. I really enjoyed how this made the white of the cardstock pop where the skulls were stamped.

Now it was time to color in the faces. The stamp set includes a few different layered stamps with designs. I used the layered stamps on the faces and colored in using bright and bold ZIG colors. (I did not use water on these colors.) I wanted to add a few splashes of paint on the card, so I placed a strip of paper to cover the skulls and splattered a few spots around the card. To finish the card, the sentiment is stamped in black ink.

The following ZIGs were used on today’s card:

010, 022, 027, 031, 041, 052, 070, 080, 095

Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Lawn Fawn Bookmarks: Front and Back

Hello! It is Lisa here with you today and I could no longer resist the cuteness of the Lawn Fawn For You Deer Set, so I’m bringing these cuties your way…

Aren’t they just so cute?! While there is a matching Add On Die, I didn’t use that and instead used a MFT Tag Die that I already owned as the base for my bookmark. I then added a window with a circle die for my critters to peek through. The new Sugar Pea Designs Spots and Stripes Brights paper pad was the perfect designer paper to add a pop of color to my bookmarks.

As for my critters I stamped them with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them in with my Spectrum Noir Markers. I used the matching Lawn Fawn For You Deer Die Set to cute them out and set them up in the window. The sentiments were the last things stamped and cut to put on the front of the bookmarks.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Don’t forget about the amazing giveaway going on, the video challenge, and our bi-weekly challenge! Whew!

Happy Crafting!
