🚨 OLO Fine Nibs are LIVE! 🚨 I’ve been testing the 🚨 OLO Fine Nibs are LIVE! 🚨

I’ve been testing these for a while and I genuinely think they’re one of the most useful additions to the OLO system.

✔ Perfect for details
✔ Great for lettering
✔ Ideal for smaller stamped images
✔ Smooth enough for colouring too

Here’s a quick swatch of some of the colours I’ve been playing with.

This card was made using the Floral Elegance Greeting Card Kit from @altenewllc. Everything works together beautifully, making it easy to create elegant layered floral cards without having to hunt through your stash.

I followed one of the included designs for this card and loved how quickly it came together. Perfect for a crafty afternoon when you want maximum results with minimal decision-making!

Comment “FLORAL” and I’ll send you the link to the kit.

The way these layered flowers come to life with ju The way these layered flowers come to life with just a little ink blending gets me every single time 🌸✨

I used the Floral Trio Die Set from Alex Syberia Designs to create this soft floral thank you card, and honestly… I’m obsessed with how the peach and pink tones pop against that deep background 😍

Sometimes simple die cutting + blending is all you need for a really striking card design.

Soft florals, layered die cuts, and all the pretty Soft florals, layered die cuts, and all the pretty details… this card was such a joy to create using the Abstract Floral Stamp & Cut set from @heroarts 💕

I love how the bold floral shapes work with softer colour palettes — the white embossed details really make everything pop against the blush background. And that “friend” sentiment layered across the centre ties the whole design together perfectly.

To finish the card, I added some twine and white splatter for a little extra texture and movement. Sometimes those final tiny details really make a card feel complete.

If you’re a fan of floral cardmaking with a modern twist, this set is definitely worth adding to your collection.

What colour combination would you try with these florals? 👀

Bringing an older favourite back to life today wit Bringing an older favourite back to life today with the beautiful Bloom with Grace Bundle from Altenew 💛🌿

I wanted this card to feel fresh, uplifting, and full of texture, so I paired the botanical images with a bold yellow background and soft alcohol marker colouring. I also added some crinkled cardstock and twine for a slightly artsy finish.

I filmed the colouring process for this one too and honestly, these images are so relaxing to colour!

One thing I’ve really loved recently is revisiting older products in my stash. This bundle is such a reminder that great designs never go out of style.

Even better… you can currently get 35% off the Bloom with Grace Bundle with my code MARTINBLOOM until June 2nd, 2026 👀
