MarkerPOP Challenge

Hello, hello!  Have you seen the newest MarkerPOP Challenge?  They now run their challenges in a FB group, so make sure you join so you can play along!  The latest challenge is such a happy one that I had all kinds of ideas...

Who doesn't love Rainbows?  And since I'm in a Holiday Crafty Mood I mixed the two themes to create my card...

 To create this card I started by cutting strips of paper from my Sugar Pea Designs Spots and Stripes Brights.  Next I stamped the second sentiment along the bottom of my cardbase, and stamped the Alpaca and begging part of the sentiment onto a different piece of cardstock.  I went ahead and die cutted a mix of snowflakes from glitter cardstock and adhered everything to the front of my card.  I just LOVE it!

I hope this little guy brought you a smile today, and Happy Crafting!

Final Post for MarkerPOP

Hi, I'm here with you for one final post.  I am so sad to say that this is my last post for the team, but I also want to give my sincerest thanks to the entire MarkerPOP team for having me this past year.  I have had a wonderful time, and the products/service offered by MarkerPOP has always been amazing.

With all of that said I've created a happy little Birthday scene with some Studio Katia products.  To create my card I first diecut my patterned paper with the STAX Stitched Creative Window Die.  I used this as a template for where I would stamp the images from the Kobi the Birthday Bear set.  All of the images where colored with Spectrum Noir Markers.  Kobi was stamped on separate cardstock and hand cut after he was colored in.

For added depth and dimension I used foam adhesive strips and finished the card off with a few sequins.  Thank you so much to all of you who have continued to visit the MarkerPOP blog, and to those of you who took the time to leave me comments.  Your words were always appreciated.

Happy Crafting!
Lisa

Supplies Used:
Studio Katia: STAX Stitched Creative Window Die, Kobi the Birthday Bear Stamp Set
Memento Ink: Tuxedo Black
Spectrum Noir Illustrator Markers
Spectrum Noir Ultra White Cardstock

New Stamp Company for the MarkerPOP Store

Hi!  The MarkerPOP Blog is down today so I'm popping in here and on the Facebook page to share a project featuring a new to MarkerPOP Stamp company called Studio Katia.  Studio Katia is a family run company based in Canada, and their stamps and dies range from super cute to pretty to essential!  Today I am using the Merry Poinsettia Stamp Set along with it's coordinating dies.

To create my card I stamped my chosen images onto Watercolor Cardstock with Versafine Ink.  I then colored the images in with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.  I also used a little clean water to help the colors blend, and finished the Poinsettia's off with some Sparkle from my Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Pen.  (This pen is also water based and it could be used to do the watercoloring if you wish, but I just didn't think about it at the time.)  After the images had dried I used the dies to cut them out, and layered them onto some patterned paper.  For my sentiment I used the joy word die that was in the set and die cut it three times, stacking the dies for more depth.  I also went over the top layer with my Clear Sparkle Pen.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and Happy Crafting!

Woo hoo!  It is Sunday and that means it is time for a new MarkerPOP Challenge!!!  This time we have a beautiful underwater inspirational photo for you...

Since I'm still in a Winter mood I decided to make my underwater scene Christmassy with a play on words...

For this card I've used lots of Lawn Fawn goodies including: Trim the Tree, I'm So Jelly, and Watercolor Wishes 6 x 6 Paper Pad.  To create a water background I used my Gansai Tambi Watercolors.  For the tree and sweet critters I used a mix of Spectrum Noir Markers.  And finally I used clear sequins to reflect bubbles in the water, as well as for some added shine.

Thanks so much for stopping by and we can't wait to see what you link up for your chance to win this super cute Flora and Fauna Set...

MarkerPOP Challenge #129

Hello!  Today MarkerPOP is hosting a new challenge that will have you ready for fall and Halloween...

While I was at first inspired to create a witch scene, for some reason every time I pulled out certain stamp sets I just wasn't feeling it.  So when I went back to the picture a second time I was inspired by the pumpkins, and decided to go with it...

To create this card I started by stamping these beautiful multi step pumpkins from the Sunny Studio Stamps Set called Pretty Pumpkins.  For the first two layers I used a mix of inks, and for the top layer I added some shine with Gold Embossing Powder.  I colored the background of my scene with Spectrum Noir Markers.  The sentiment is from a fun mix of sentiments in a set by Impression Obsession called Holiday Words.  I then layered my stamped panel with Lawn Fawn Patterned Paper.

I hope you'll join us and be entered for a chance to win some pretty awesome goodies!

Happy Crafting!

MarkerPOP Challenge #129

Hi friends!  I hope you are enjoying your weekend so far, we've had fun with soccer and cheerleading along with some nice weather.  Today I'm popping in with a little bit of crafty fun with the new MarkerPOP Challenge #129...

And here is what I've created based on this color palette...

To create this card I've used the new My Favorite Things More Monsters.  I LOVE the cute little faces on them! I then used the same colors as I used on my monsters in my galactic background with Gansai Tambi Watercolors and Clean Color Real Brush Markers.  I stamped and embossed the sentiment, and created a "gold planet" for my little monsters to stand on.

I can't wait to see what you'll create for this new challenge!  Don't forget to check out the awesome prize up for grabs too!
