Toad-ally Awesome

Written by Valerie Ward. Posted in Eye Candy (Projects)

Today I’m featuring a bunch of new products in the MarkerPop store! First, my set of Zig Clean Color Brush Markers, and then My Favorite Things‘ (MFT) new (and a tad older!) stamp & die sets. 

I created a fun interactive card that combines these MFT products: 

 All the images are colored with my Zig Clean Color Brush Markers and my Water Brush onto Distress Watercolor cardstock.

I integrated a couple trusty Lawn Fawn dies into this project, Grassy Border and STAX Large Stitched Rectangle. The patterned papers are MFT’s: Dots & Stripes Neutral and Subtle Plaids. These Pretty Pink Posh (PPP) cupped sequins were such a cute addition to this sweet card:

And the cute googly eyes on the frog are PPP Silly Eyes 4mm.

Today I’m featuring the look of coloring white heat embossed images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers! And the stamp set I choose to do this with is the MFT Hog Heaven set (so adorable!). 

I stamped the images onto Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Cardstock with VersaMark, then heat embossed them with Wow! Opaque White embossing powder using my Ranger Heat It Craft Tool. Then I used the Zig Clean Color Set of 24 to color the images.

The clouds are die cut from Bazzill White Cardstock Paper using 2 dies from the MFT Puffy Clouds die set. I painted the clouds with Zig Clear Wink of Stella. The scalloped frame is from MFT’s Stitched Square Scalloped Edge Frames set. The stitched square for the card base is from Lawn Fawn’s Large Stitched Square Cut Set. The background hill is the middle die from Lawn Fawn’s Simple Stitched Hillside Borders Cut Set.

Hope this made you smile! Have a wonderful day, and Happy Crafting!


Happy Birthday – Open Me!

What fun interactive cards are! Valerie here, and I have that on my card today, featuring Lawn Fawn’s 3 Sprinkled with Joy products (1 stamp set, and 2 different die sets)! I created a birthday card, and pulled in Lawn Fawn’s Baked with Love stamp set & coordinating die set to do that.

The images are stamped with Lawn Fawn’s Black Licorice ink onto X-Press It paper, and colored with Copic markers. I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment inside the oven from Lawn Fawn’s Year Two stamp set and their Yeti ink. The background papers (yes, Lawn Fawn’s!) (links here & here) are die cut with dies from Lawn Fawn’s Stitched Square Stackables dies – Large and Small.

I went a little crazy with the sequins, but I couldn’t help it! I LOVE my Pretty Pink Posh sequins, and this was the perfect card to add a ton of them! You can see which ones I used in the Supply List below.

Thank you for stopping by; have a wonderful day, and happy crafting!

Monstrous Birthday!

‘Morning, Crafters! Valerie here today! Hey, wanted to let you know that my new, facelifted blog is up & running! I hope you’ll stop by & check it out!

OK, on to my project this week! Ever want to just stamp in pretty colors and not have to color? Well these sets today are FABULOUS for that. I combined 2 My Favorite Things stamp & die sets: the Monster Love die set & coordinating Die-namics set, and the Celebrate with Cake stamp set and coordinating Die-namics set (now, AFTER I completed making the card, I was mortified to find we don’t have 3 of those 4 products in our store anymore; but I will continue with this post because the other products I used ARE in the store, and I think this is still good inspiration for those other solid image sets we DO carry!).

The images are stamped using 5 Lawn Fawn Premium Dye Ink Pads: Lobster, Fish Tank, Sunflower, Manatee, and Black Licorice. I used my wonderful Mini Misti to stamp the images nice & straight, and exactly where I wanted them; there are many wonderful Misti products to choose from now – check them out!

The black frame is created using an Avery Elle die set. And the embossed border on the inside is from Lawn Fawn’s Stitched Borders die set. Pretty Pink Posh is the name of the game for the sequins on this card; I’m featuring 3mm Sparkling Clear Cupped sequins, 11mm Silver Stars, and 4mm Silly Eyes.

Thank you for stopping by; I’m sorry some (only SOME!) of the products aren’t in the store, but I hope this was good inspiration for you anyway! Have a wonderful day!

Valerie
