Well HELLO, MarkerPop Fans! Guess who THIS is… Valerie, and I’M BACK! I can’t tell you how much I’ve missed the MarkerPop World the past few months, but I’m all settled in to my new home (in a great suburb next door to Iowa City), and I’m READY to get crafting again! I was THRILLED when my friend, Holly (the MarlerPop Design Team Leader), asked me if I’d like to come back; it was a quick and easy “Yes!” for me. So anyway, today I’m working with a bunch of great new products from My Favorite Things!

I created an adorable Birthday Card, and the main features of this card are the MFT Knight in Shining Armor stamp set & coordinating Die-namics set; I used a ton of other MFT products, also, and you can see them in the supply list below.

One of the fun things about this card is pulling the sentiment out! You can do this very easily to any card using MFT’s great new Slider Channel Builder Die-namics set.

The images are all stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, onto X-Press It Blending Card Paper, and colored with Copic markers. I added a little bling with Pretty Pink Posh sequins: Lilac Garden Flower Confetti sequins and Aquamarine Cupped sequins. The background sky and grasses are created using various Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad inks (see specific colors in Supply List below).

I hope you enjoyed this project, and that it gave you some inspiration! Have a great day, and Happy Crafting!

Hello!  It is Lisa here with you today and not only is it Wednesday, but it also happens to be my Birthday, so I thought I had to do a Birthday card duh!  So I pulled out my new My Favorite Things Once Upon A Time Stamp Set and got busy…

To create this card I started by tracing the largest die from the My Favorite Things STAX Stitched Arch. I then stamped my background scene, and colored it all in with Copic® Markers. (Castle: RV00, RV02, RV23, V000, V12; Grass: G40, G43; Flowers: G46, B00, Y15; Sky: BG0000, B000; Path: E11, E21, C1, C3).  Once it was all colored in I die cut it out.  I decided to color before diecutting because it is just easier.  Next I worked on my sweet little Birthday Princess by stamping, coloring and cutting her out. (Princess: Face: E00, E21, E50, R20; Hair: E15, E25, E37; Dress: R20, R22, BG10, BG11, BG13)  I then die cut the same large STAX die from the front of my card before adding my sentiment.  To keep the background lined up with the opening in the card I kept the card closed and adhered the background cut through the opening in the front.  I then adhered my Princess and added some fun Nuvo Glitter Drops along with Pretty Pink Posh Clear Sequins.

Thanks so much for stopping by and don’t forget to join us in our bi-weekly challenges located on the right side of the blog!

Good morning! It’s Nicki and I’m here to share another floral card with you today. It features the Funky Flowers clear stamp set from MFT, and the sentiment is from the Spring Hello by Lia Griffith stamp set from Hero Arts.

First, I used the embossing magic pad to rub over the whole piece of Tim Holtz Watercolor Card Stock. Then, I inked up the flowers and leaves with VersaMark Ink, and stamped onto the watercolor card stock. Using a fine, white embossing powder, I heat embossed it. Using the following Distress Markers, I colored in the flowers and leaves quickly (Squeezed Lemonade, Dried Marigold, Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry, Broken China, Bundled Sage, & Peeled Paint). The coloring didn’t need to be perfect because then I took a waterbrush and brushed it over each petal and leaf to achieve a watercolor look.

The dark grey card stock was diecut using Lawn Fawn STAX Small Stitched Rectangle Die. I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder and then mounted the panel to the card base with Foam Tape.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. 😀  Have a great day!

Hi everyone it’s Holly here today with a fun project using Lots and Lots of Die cuts!!

All the stamps and dies I’m using today are from My Favorite Things. I started by creating a frame using the Whimsical Woodgrain background stamp from MFT and some Doe Ink from Lawn Fawn on a piece of Kraft card stock. Then I die cut the frame using the Blueprints #15 & #29. Then I die cut an additional piece of White using the smaller rectangle from Blueprints #29. I added the frame to a top folding White A2 size card base with some liquid glue and then I trimmed out the top portion of the card base showing through the frame with a craft knife.

Then I stamped the images from the Adorable Hog Heaven set from MFT onto some Neenah Solar White card stock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them in with Copics: E30, E34, E44, E47, R0000. R00, R01, R02, YG17 & G07. I die cut the images using the coordinating dies. Using the smaller of the stitched rectangles from the Frame I created, I die cut a  piece of White card stock and added some Distress Inks in Crushed Olive and Mowed Lawn to create the grass. Then I added the images to the card front and then on the reverse side making sure they lined up.

I die cut a second panel from the smallest stitched rectangle and added some Distress Inks in Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass. Then I die cut some Puffy Clouds from MFT and added the sentiment from Hog Heaven. This set is the Cutest!!!

Check out the video for more details on how I created this card.
