Eat, Drink, and be Scary

Hello, MarkerPOP friends! Halloween is next month. Are your kids getting excited? I have one that has his costume all planned out and two that will wait to the last minute!

Have you heard of Elizabeth Craft Designs stamp company? They are one of the newest brands now available in the MarkerPOP store.

Today, I am using their Halloween stamp set on my card:

I stamped a few of the designs onto watercolor cardstock and colored in using ZIG Clean Color markers. Once the images were dry, I used the coordinating dies to cut out the image. The next step is to create an A2 card out of watercolor cardstock. On the front of the card, I stamped the gravestone image. I used the ZIGs again to color in the image. I extended the grass on both sides of the image. The sentiment is stamped below the grass. I wanted to include a moon and some stars. The moon is colored in by hand. The stars are from a cluster stamp from the My Favorite Things Somebunny I Love stamp set. The die cut images are attached using foam tape.

I used the following ZIG Clean Color markers on today’s project:

022, 024, 070, 052, 046, 047, 035, 094, 010, 095

Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Llama Tell You

Hello, MarkerPOP friends! Llamas are pretty popular right now! I have seen them on stamps, papers, clothes, mugs…you name it! Everywhere you turn, there are llamas! I just chuckled as I wrote that… a few weeks ago, my daughter’s field trip was at a local wildlife zoo. You know, the kind you drive your car through and the animals are roaming free. While I was leaving the zoo, I turned the corner and the road was being blocked by a number of llamas. They would not budge, so I had to sit there surround by llamas.  Anyway, that is my llama story, guess I should move on to my card 🙂

Today’s card uses the super cute Gerda Steiner Designs Llama Tell You and Echo Park’s Summer Dreams papers:

The stamped images are on white cardstock and called in with Chameleon markers. The images are then cut out using the coordinating dies. I used other dies to create the panel for the scene. I used a paper pad to make it super easy to coordinate the papers.

The scene is pieced together. The panel is then attached to another coordinating print. The sentiment is stamped onto a thin strip of paper and attached towards the bottom of the card. To finish the card, I added a few NUVO drops to fill in the empty space next to the sentiment.

The following Chameleon Markers were used on today’s card: NU00, NU1, BR5, YG3, GR1

You COLOR My World

Hello, MarkerPOP friends! It is Jessi here! It seems like everywhere I turn, I am running into projects that include rainbows. When I first saw the Color Me Happy stamp set from Sunny Studios, I could not wait to get me hands on it!

Today I am working with the Color Me Happy stamp set and coordinating die:

  I took a collection of ZIG Clean Color markers and did a swatch of each color onto some watercolor cardstock. I used a rainbow die and cut it out of each color. I grabbed one piece of each color to form the rainbow. I also used a variety of cloud dies and attached three of them across the card.

  To complete the card, I used the coordinating die and used black cardstock to form part of the sentiment. I used stamped words to complete the sentiment.

ZIG Clean Color Markers used for this card: 022, 032, 047, 050, 080
