Kristina I love your cards and your coloring. Especially the witch. I learned so much watching you color. Thank you for sharing .💜🧙‍♀️🧹

[@toniswitchyartandcrafts3472]

I love the little witch one it is so cute😍😍😍😍😍

[@callisonroberts5388]

Needed a calming pre bed video to watch and this is perfection.

[@Neeciesplace]

Lol!!! Didn't have my glasses on when scrolling and nearly missed this video because I thought it said "OLD" alcohol markers! I would've missed a treat. Thank you for your wonderful videos and work!

[@DebadooCreates]

Fabulous cards! I'm in love with that stacked stars die! Color the back of the glitter paper (for the ones that flip over) & the stars give you great Shaker confetti.

[@mmmmlllljohn]

I love to see you colour and the cards are adorable. Super cute witch! ❤️🇨🇦

[@donnajosephsonblatz5058]

She's so adorable! Kinda looks like you. Thanks Kristina.

[@elizabetheddy1073]

I absolutely love your witch 🧙🏻 card, she’s so adorable!! The colors you chose and the stars, dashes and other details are absolute perfection!! Thank you so much for sharing, you always bring these adorable characters to life!! 😀💜🖤💚

[@sharonpott4253]

Love watching you colour brill cards xx

[@racheljakubiak1235]

The hair!!!! So pretty!

[@EmeralDQueenTV]

Very cute cards, interesting choice of markers they seem to blend very well.

[@mariawaczek4823]

Just one word!!!!! AWESOME

[@dianamahar483]

Super cute cards 🙃😉😊

[@rachaelholden327]

wow the narration in this video is ASMR :)))

[@UsernameBarbF]

Your work is so beautiful!! I am extremely blush-cheek-challenged; in my case, practice did not make perfect. My workaround is a tip I learned from Decorative Painting and that's to use a Conti Pastel Pencil. You just lightly brush a Q Tip over the tip of the pencil and then tap it into the cheek area until you get the size and shape you want--it never fails! The one I use is a #1355 No. 03 and is a red tone. Thank you so much for showing us your techniques and both teaching and inspiring us!

[@rhondasarcone6822]

Very cute. I have the stacked stars die and love it.

[@docyoumomeries8613]

Love the coloring, very beautiful

[@marymatthys7499]

Your coloring is stunning. I learned so much by watching you.

[@stampinwithalohajoyceb9310]

Super cute cards!

[@unknownangel3101]

WOW AMAZING JOB! I could never do that! 👍❤️

[@Snippets-of-Mendi]

This turned out sooo cute! LOVE the everyday take and the cute tabby stripes added to the kitty to match your kitties! ❤

[@shirleyturner184]

Finished this video this morning. The witch card is awesome. Always enjoys watching you color.

[@plz2micha41]

You are sooo talented! Can’t get enough of your videos!! 💕💕

[@papernummies9893]

Cute cards & great video. It’s true - your voice & style soothe the soul. Especially when you’re sharing & inspiring us to do our favorite things! Love love love the black card. Fab! Thanks for all you do and for sharing you with us! 💕

[@Sylvia.Torres]

Beautiful cards! Nice markers! Thank you for sharing. 🌷

[@nalagrey5061]

So appreciate this Kristina! Received my Olo Markers set a couple weeks ago. Had been hoping you would share your working with them again. Thanks so much. Learned lots watching ! Hope you will share more in the future. Happy early Labor Day!

[@tracym1115]

Thanks for sharing your beautiful coloring. The witch is super adorable!!!

[@aliceadler4569]

Love the cards, Kristina!!! ♥️♥️♥️. Thank you!!!

[@kathycamasso6672]

Wow, these are both so cute! So different and unique. The coloring is spot on as always and these markers look fantastic!

[@danielleklaiss4336]

Your coloring is beautiful!!! These markers look like a winner, thanks for showing us how well they work!!!

[@hazelfarris206]

Lovely❤️ You’re one of the best Kristina!

[@rebeccah1635]

What a darling card! Excellent coloring as usual :). Great use of the star background- I may have to check out that die! Thank you Kristina!

[@cyanoxicrose]

The OLO markers look like they blend beautifully.

[@kellystoutenborough7152]

Awesome cards! Luv your coloring!

[@starrbrasher7516]

Thank you for sharing. Your coloring is beautiful. Really appreciate your input about the new markers also.

[@andreaa5653]

Thanks for sharing! Just got my order and am happy to finally have a set of quality alcohol markers after experimenting with some less expensive brands trying to decide if I like coloring with alcohol markers. Love watching how you color her hair and the broom bristles from top then bottom to leave a highlight in the middle. Great tip! 🙂

[@shamancarmichael5305]

These look like they are easy to use and have good coverage. I like the dual tip as well. Beautiful reds!

[@tinasawyer9471]

What great coloring/shading you did on these cards. Thank you for sharing.

[@lauriewray8146]

Wow, the coloring is fabulous!

[@deeecanta]

Your voice is so soothing. I love watching your videos. One thing I noticed was that the markers bleed a little bit. Is it my eyes?

[@shirleysickinger200]

I loved your cards. I thought the piece you cut from center of witch was a collar section... just my take on the stamp. Missed your voice during the coloring it's so calming...

[@peggyrose204]

What kind of paper do you use for alcohol coloring? And what ink do you use for stamping and then alcohol coloring? I got the full set too, after watching your video a couple of months ago, I never have bought any Copic markers and thought I would give these a try. I have done a couple of things and LOVE them so far, so thanks for the first video.

[@mariafernandez6537]

So cute! Love it!

[@mrsdiaz86]

Thank you for the beautiful cards! I was wondering if you had any opinions on how the OLO markers compare to Ohuhu markers?

[@adelleemery6424]

2:05 Same thing is happening to me in that the inks really bleed outside of the lines. I'm on the hunt for a cardstock that works better with these than my Neenah seems to be.

[@brittanydaniels1102]

@Adelle Emery Have you tried the Hammermill Premium Color Copy Cover or the Copic X-Press It Blending Card that are good for alcohol markers?

[@adelleemery6424]

@@brittanydaniels1102 Not yet. I have them both as well as some Spectrum Noir to try. I also need to try my Neenah 110# as I typically color on the 80# with my Copics and that's all I've tried thus far. I'm going to stamp and test this weekend. Thanks for the suggestions. :)

[@kellyhorn5593]

OMG!! I’ve been watching you for so long I remember Manny!

[@kwernerdesign]

Awww! Mannie was such a good kitty. I miss him. :)

[@redhotscrapper]

Very beautiful

[@shirleyturner184]

Thanks for the video. I saw you talk about them at Creativation and I wanted to see them in action.

[@mollytraylor276]

Hi Kristina, great video! I have looked into these markers, and was wondering how they compare to the Karins. Have a great week, I hope to see you Friday! 😊

[@kwernerdesign]

Karin markers are water-based. These are alcohol markers. Very different look and application. :)

[@mollytraylor276]

Oh, duh... just realized OLO are alcohol markers. 🤪

[@mollytraylor276]

I loved the cute witch card. I would have never thought to cut up the background like that to move parts around. So fun! 🙂 Thanks for posting these. I'm ready to start making Halloween cards. 🎃

[@stokrotkaw]

very nice i like

[@mpbailey18]

Watching you color is magical! For you, it's relaxing, for me, stressful....so unfair as I would really like to color something and be pleased with it... Oh well. I'm actually stunned yet another company thinks there's room in the crafting market for more alcohol markers! Would love to understand their marketing strategy! I have enough Copics to last my lifetime...

[@mariaflies]

Dear Olo, I too would love a set of your new markers sent to me. The only thing I've ever won or been given in my entire life was a frozen chicken at a local fair. Your nice juicy markers would be so much nicer than a dry old frozen boiler hen. Forever hopeful and grateful. The chook lady 🐔

[@victoriaparis2791]

It looks like there was a bit of bleeding while coloring (around table and lamp). However, it looked like the die cutting took care of it.

[@annieyip2614]

Do you feel you had more bleed with certain colors vs Copics or similar?

[@kwernerdesign]

A little more bleed with the OLOs as compared to my Copics (most of which are 7-8 years old and needing reinking). I don’t think it was any specific color. Just more overall. But I attribute that to the fact that they are new and a bit juicy.

[@MVL.1.0]

Are OLO markers brand new to market? Looks like whatever size pack, it works out at 7.50USD per marker. Is that similar to Copics? Which do you think are better please (in terms of performance and value for money)?

[@kwernerdesign]

I think I go over the pricing in the livestream I did a while back, but but from what I remember, for the amount of ink you get the price is lower with OLOs. Essentially, you get double he amount of ink per marker (because it has two tips that are connected in the middle).
