Creating with Stampin’ Blends video – Wishing You the All Best

I have been super excited about Stampin’ Blends since Stampin’ Up first announced them. I have found myself using them more and more and it was time that I show off these incredible markers to you.

I am going to be sharing some of my tips in some upcoming videos but today I want to share with you some basics ways to use them and how to care for your Stampin’ Blends. Let me share today’s video…

My friends, I am speaking from the heart here…. the Stampin’ Blends are amazing, wonderful, simple, gorgeous, and all around incredible. I don’t know if I can use my other markers for coloring after working with the Blends.

A few tips I want to share:

My favorite cardstock for Stampin’ Blends? Whisper White or Very Vanilla Thick OR Shimmery White cardstock.
My favorite ink for Stampin’ Blends? Memento Ink is absolutely the best. It won’t bleed like other inks will.
Always cap your Stampin’ Blends, even as you’re working. Alcohol naturally evaporates and the caps are designed to fit tight and keep that from being a problem.
When you are blending, it’s best to ‘wet’ the previous Blend color with the Stampin’ Blend marker you want to blend with.
Protect your work surface with grid paper or scratch paper. Stampin’ Blend ink does seep through the cardstock.

Poppy Parade – 8 ½” x 5 ½”, score and fold at 4 ¼”
Whisper White Thick – (2) 4″ x 5 ¼” and 2 ½” x 2 ½”
Crushed Curry – 2 ¾” x 2 ¾”

And now, a complete list of the supplies I used on my card. Use what you have, order what you need! Just click a pic to add any of these items to your next order.

I hope that you guys enjoyed the video. I hope to do more with the Stampin’ Blends because, as you can see, they are just too beautiful not to create with. I honestly can’t get over how easy they were to work with. And here I thought alcohol markers were only for the super artistic. Nope, even little ‘ol me can use them and create amazing things! You can too!
