Hello it is Lisa here, and I can not tell you how excited I am to be here today sharing my first post as part of the Marker Pop Design Team! eeeeekkk!!!  As I’m sure you’ve seen there are lots of new Holiday images making their debuts.  I’ve chosen a classic and elegant wreath image by Penny Black called Poinsettia Wreath for today’s card.  This stamp set is so beautifully detailed that you can’t help but have fun when coloring, or in this case, watercoloring it in.

To create this card I started by stamping the wreath in the center of a piece of Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Cardstock with Versafine ink.  Once the ink had dried I used various Distress Markers (Pine Needles, Peeled Paint, Shabby Shutters, Festive Berries, Barn Door, Fired Brick, Tattered Rose, and Mustard Seed) and Ranger Artist Brushes (Round 2 and 6).  When the entire panel was dry I used the largest die in the Lawn Fawn Cut STAX Small Stitched Rectangles to trim the panel down and add stitched lines.  I then popped the panel up with foam adhesive onto Lawn Fawn Cardstock in Red, and finished it all off with some Pretty Pink Posh Mixed Sparkling Clear Sequins.

Thanks so much for visiting today and I can’t wait to be back here next week!

Happy Crafting!

Hi everyone.. It’s Holly here today! Halloween is just around the corner and I’m loving all the fun Halloween and Fall sets that have been released this year. It makes it really hard to pick a Favorite! Today I’m using the My Favorite Things Frightful Friends and Grave Situation stamp sets.

I started out by cutting two pieces of Neenah Solar White cardstock to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. Then I die cut one panel using the Pizzaz Pieces Creative Cuts die set from Mama Elephant. I lined the die cut panel up with the other panel and made some pencils marks inside the circle window. Then using some Distress inks in Squeezed Lemonade, Dusty Concord and Spiced Marmalade I created a background for the window opening. Once the Distress inks were dry I stamped the Fence and Bat images from the Frightful Friends set using some VersaFine Onyx Black ink. I added some Foam tape to the back of the window panel and adhered it over the Distressed panel. Then I adhered both panels to a Black top folding card base.

I stamped the Vampire, Bat and Grass images from Frightful Friends and the Gravestones from Grave Situation sets onto some White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them in with Copics. Then I die cut them using the coordinating die sets and my Big Shot. I adhered them with liquid glue and foam tape.

I stamped the sentiment from Frightful Friends onto a piece of White cardstock in VersaFine Onyx Black ink and die cut it using the Avery Elle Pierced Banners Die set. Then I adhered it just behind the Vampire image with some additional Foam tape. I wanted a little extra highlight so I added some white with a White Gel Pen. Super Cute!!

I used the following Copic Sketch Markers:

Vampire: (Cap & Boots) R29, R17, R39, Y23, Y28 (Shirt) C1,C00 (eyes) B00,B000 (Suit) C8,C6, C4, C1 (Skin) E000, E00,E51, E53 (Hair)T8, T6, T5,T3 (Grave Stones) W0,W2,W4,W6, W8 (Grass) YG09,G07,G28.

Hi everyone it’s Holly here.. Today I have a watercolored card using some Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and the Delicate Pretty Poppies set from MFT.

I stamped the poppy image onto a piece of Distress Watercolor Card stock using some waterproof ink. I masked off the poppy images and I used some Broken China Distress ink and blending tool to created  a soft background behind the flowers. I colored the images in Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and an aqua painter.

Once the panel was dry I die cut it using the Mama Elephant Basic Set ~ Creative Cuts. I used the same die set to cut the scalloped black panel as well from a piece of Bazzil Licorice Twist card stock. I adhered them both together and added the panel to a top folding White card base. I stamped the sentiment from the same set onto a strip of Licorice Twist card stock and Heat embossed it in White. I added a few Onyx sequins from Pretty Pink Posh in 6 & 4mm sizes.

  Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers used: 029 Geranium Red, 024 Wine Red, 05 Yellow, 010 Black, 044 Deep Green & 040 Green.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hi, everyone!  Kelli here today with a fun ‘love’ card to share with you.  This particular card I’m going to give to my husband for Valentine’s Day!  The main focus of this card is the background so I wanted to keep the sentiment pretty simple.  For the ‘love’ I stamped the l, v, and e from the Lawn Fawn – Quinn’s ABCs stamp set with Memento – Tuxedo Black ink onto X-Press It – Blending Paper and colored them with Copics:
l – BV04, BV02, BV01
v – V17, V15, V12
e – RV29, RV25, RV23

I cut them out with the coordinating Quinn’s ABCs die set and adhered them to a black piece of card stock.  The heart for the o and the black hearts were cut out with the Lawn Fawn – Hearts die set.

Behind the black piece I adhered some pink patterned paper from the Doodlebug – Kraft in Color (Color) 6×6 paper pad.  Then I tied a bow with some Purple Crush baker’s twine.

To make the background I took 5 different mini distress ink pads in random purples and pinks and stamped them directly onto a nonstick craft sheet.  I sprayed them with some water from a Ranger – Mini Mister and then set a piece of Tim Holtz – Watercolor Paper directly into the ink puddles.  I dried it off with a heat tool and then dabbed it back into the ink puddles to achieve the darker spots.
The Distress Ink colors I used were:
Picked Raspberry from Kit #1
Spun Sugar and Shaded Lilac from Kit #4
Dusty Concord from Kit #8
Milled Lavender from Kit #11

I cut that piece out using a die from the Lawn Fawn – Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables die set.

Everything was adhered using the Crafter’s Companion – Adhesive Runner and dimensional foam adhesive.

To finish everything off I added some Wink of Stella Glitter Pen in Clear to all of the letters and the hearts and then covered the hearts with Glossy Accents.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a great day!  🙂
