Coloring With Olo Markers on X-press It Blending Card
Hi everyone! This is Jennifer Rustioni from @armieritagli! Today I share with you a step-by-step tutorial of the card I realized featuring the wonderful Olo Markers! These alcohol markers are truly fantastic and have very bright colors! I’m in love with them! I chose to use the Olo Markers to create a Christmas card. I realized a coloring different from my usual, using an embossing folder instead of a stamp. When using brand new colors (every type of color) for the first time, I always recommend you to create a color chart. This is really important because the real colors are often very different from the colors on the packaging.…

Stenciled Book Box with the Layered Christmas Stencils How-To
Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m thrilled to be back on the blog today to share this fun book box tutorial made with the new Layered Christmas Stencils Collection. I love making handmade gift boxes, especially around the holidays, but if you’re strictly a cardmaker then you can just follow the directions to create the box top as a card instead! Trim a piece of Alabaster Cardstock to 4” x 5.25”. Using a sponge dauber with a firm pouncing motion (as opposed to the usual circular blending motion), apply Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Ink through stencil 1 of the Layered Noel Foliage Stencil Set. Similarly, add Kitsch Flamingo…
