Colouring with Shain Han Markers

Welcome to our April Blog Hop featuring the ShinHan Alcohol Markers. We have 24 colours available, plus a blending marker.

We have an amazing group of talented ladies all across Canada, and they sure would love to hear from you, so before hopping onto the next person, take a moment and leave a comment about what you loved.

If you've arrived from Crafty Carol's Blog then you are in the right place! If you would like to start at the beginning of the hop, and continue from East Coast to West Coast, you can start here with Creations with Michelle.

Here is a card I made using the Dreamin' Big paper suite, Thoughtful Flowers S1612 which was the December 2016 Stamp of the Month and the fabulous Shin Han Touch Twin Markers. 

Throughout the Christmas holidays I made some time to play with the markers and just couldn't stop. These pages are in the planner bundle available on my website. It was so relaxing that I lost track of time. Here are some of the pages I have coloured with the markers.

Aren't these pages fun?! Which is your favourite? 

To purchase any of the items seen in our blog hop today, contact your local consultant to place an order.

Your next stop on the Cross Canada Hop is Jan's Work of Heart.

If you get lost along the way, you can head to Michelle S Blog, Creations with Michelle, as she has the complete blog list.

Thanks for hopping along with us - we hope we were able to inspire you to get creative using some of the designs, products and techniques seen along the way. We hope you will join us again next month when we will be featuring creations using our favorite NEW paper collection, yes that is right, we have new paper collections coming. So mark May 15th on your calendars and hop along with us.

Christmas Card Blog Hop!

Welcome to our first of 2 Blog Hops happening this month. In this Hop you will find that each consultant has created 3 Christmas Cards using non-Christmas paper! We were given the challenge to create these 3 cards using either cardstock or another paper packet of our choice.

If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start here as this is a circular hop, but if you want to follow us across Canada then please start at the beginning and join Deanne in Newfoundland at Treasures Heart. If you came from Michelle M.'s of Twirl 'n Time then you are in the right place!

For my first card, (4 1/2 x 5 1/2) I used the very versatile Moonlight Paper Pack.

 

I just love how easy it was to use this "Halloween" paper for "Christmas"!!

The card design is from the NEW Make it From Your Heart Sketch Book, pattern 24.  I did some random stamping on the Slate Cardstock with Slate Ink for the tone on tone effect.   The self adhesive Glitter Ribbon and Bling Gems really make this card POP!
