Hi everyone Cathy Caines here today on the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine Blog. I am so excited to be sharing with you the latest product that Stampin’ Up! has released: Stampin’ Blends.
Stampin’ Blends are alcohol markers and come in packs of two including a light and dark colour of each shade. As of November 1st, there are 12 colours available to be purchased in Stampin’ Up!’s exclusive colours. In addition, there is a colour lifter and two neutral shades (ivory and bronze). I’ve been so excited and have been colouring many images. The blending of these markers not only works within shades but also between different colours.
Today’s projects uses one of my favourite holiday stamp sets released by Stampin’ Up! called Santa’s Suit. I can’t help but be in love with the sweet little clothesline!
I first began this project by stamping the clothing items in Black Archival Ink then colouring using the Stampin’ Blends. Be sure to use the thick whisper white cardstock as well as a scrap piece of paper underneath as the markers will bleed through. The best part of this project is that I can cut out all the clothing items at once with one turn through the Big Shot machine.
I couldn’t help myself when I saw Santa in his pyjamas. I paired this tag and sentiment from the Merry Little Labels stamp set for a humorous card.
Thanks for dropping by today and I hope you enjoyed the cute little cards. If you have any questions about the Stampin’ Blends or Stampin’ Up! don’t hesitate to drop me a line!
