Falling in Love with Stampin’ Blends Markers

Create a simple card using Stampin' Up! Colorful Season & Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies - Mary Fish StampinUp Idea

This weekend I got a chance to practice and play with the Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers (available to customers Nov. 1, 2017).  For today’s fall card, I used Rich Razzleberry and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends (each color has two shades) to add rich layers of color to the Crumb Cake leaves.  

I’ll share an easy coloring technique for using the Stampin’ Blends with a 1 Minute to WOW! Video Tutorial tomorrow!

I love hearing from you!  Please leave me your questions or comments about the project for today.


STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:

  • The sentiments and images from the Colorful Seasons Stamp Set are lovely and offer year round versatility.  The leaves were cropped with the coordinating Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies.  Save 10% when you purchase the stamp set and dies as a bundle!

  • Stampin’ Blends Must-Have!  Tuxedo Black Memento Ink is designed to work with the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers.  To keep the image crisp, give the stamped images a minute or two to dry before adding the saturated color of the markers.

  • A stamp from Touches of Texture Stamp Set adds soft, distressed texture and balance.

  • A 1 3/8″ x 5″ wood pattern from Stampin’ Up! Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack (6 x 6).   The versatile wood patterns are part of the Buy 3 Get 1 FREE Sale on select designer series paper collection.  Details and choices here.

  2. Mary,
    Do you re-use your folders that the dies come in? It seems a shame to throw them out after I put the dies on the magnets.

    • The Blendabilities and Stampin’ Blends are both alcohol based markers. Blendabilities were discontinued primarily due to quality issues related to packaging (often drying out). Stampin’ Up! has carefully reworked the markers and focused on significantly improved packaging to avoid them drying out. I liked our Blendabilities a lot but the Stampin’ Blends should have better longevity. There are only two shades for the Stampin’ Blends – an improvement over Blendabilities three shades, in my opinion, as well. Thanks for your question, Connie.

  5. Gorgeous card Mary. I rethought my order last night and bought the Rich Razzleberry blenders and the fig ribbon so I will be all set to CASE away once my order comes. I love so many of your cards but today I am saying this is my absolute favorite card of yours!
