What are the markers, what do they do?
Stampin’ Up! has a range of ‘markers’ which are double ended markers which match our cardstock and inkpads. They are SOO versatile! You can write or journal with them, you can colour the outside of an image with them, then use an aqua painter (or blender pen) to ‘drag’ the colour into the picture, you can also colour directly onto the stamp, then ‘huff’ onto the stamp and stamp it. By colouring directly onto the stamp, you can stamp ‘just’ what you want to and leave out bits of the stamp you don’t want to use. This technique is very hard to achieve using an inkpad, but it is really easy using the markers!

More ideas for other things you can do with your markers:
- ”ink” up small areas of stamps with them
- colour direct to the stamp using different colours
- colour in images directly with them
- scribble some colour from the pens onto like a dish and pick up the colour using a Water pen or blender pen and colour in.
- use with the spritzer.
- draw borders, or create coloured faux stitching.
- scribble all over a brayer and brayer a unique pattern
- colour your stamp or brayer with the markers, spritz with water (not too much water as it muddies it up) and stamp onto watercolour paper, gives a great watercolour effect!
- ‘Thumping’, start with lightest colour to darkest colour on a stamp image, then stamp to get a marbled type look.
- Edging stamp images (solid ones) with a marker. Ink up the image with you ink then go around the edge with a darker colour.
What is a marker club?
A marker club allows you to buy the whole set of markers, over a period of 4 months.
There are two ways of buying the markers, normally, either by buying them via colour sets ($57.95 per colour set – there are 4 sets), or via buying the full set (48) markers ($233.95) which comes with a horizontal storage ‘go anywhere’ case which keeps both tips inked evenly.
Each marker club will have 4 members, and will run for 4 months. Over the 4 months, each member will receive a complete set of 48 markers with the carry case, by the end of the 4 month period. Each month, each 4 participants will receive 12 markers from a colour family. The ‘hostess’ for each month (which rotates every month) will get the ‘case’, and will also receive $30 in free stampin’ up! products of your choice! You can also choose to gather orders from friends/family or schedule a workshop when it’s your turn as hostess to earn even more free stuff, including a level one hostess only exclusive stamp set and a free current catalogue free of charge (if you don’t already have one). That’s a value of $330 for just $65 a month over 4 months (freebies worth $70+!!)
