December Technique - Stampin Blends Alcohol Markers

When Stampin' Up! came out with the Stampin Blends, I have to admit I wasn't sure what to do!  I have all of the other markers, so did I really need these new alcohol based markers?  Well, the answer is a definite YES!!

Say hello to a new world of colorful creativity! Meet Stampin’ Blends, artist-quality alcohol markers in 12 exclusive Stampin’ Up! colors. You will feel like an artist, no more streaks and color so rich! We also found out that you can dye ribbon with the markers and the colors will not bleed.

Here are the cards that we made:

Card #1 - Celebrate
This card looks like an innocent enough birthday card but when you read the verse inside (From the Five for All stamp set) "You're Not Old!  You're 25...plus Shipping and Handling."  The verses from this stamp set always makes me smile.

This card looks like you slaved away on it but it is a piece of cake to make, and turns out so great!
