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.
Stamp Sets:  Color Me Happy, Five for All (Inside)
Ink:  Memento Black, Calypso Coral
Paper:  Calypso Coral Base, Bermuda Bay Layer, Whisper White Layer, Whisper White Stitched Circle, Calypso Coral Layering Scallop Circle
Accessories:  White Organza Ribbon, Stampin Blends, Oh My Stars Embossing Folder, Dimensions
Card #2 - Thank You
Stamp Sets:  Color Me Happy, Thankful Thoughts (Inside)
Ink:  Memento Black, Stampin Blends
Paper:  Night of Navy Base & Banner 2 x 5 1/2, Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) Layer, Whisper White Banner, Old Olive  & Whisper White Scraps
Accessories:  Mayflower Framelit (Leaf), Navy Gingham Ribbon, Dimensions

Card #3 - Special Project - Calendar Card
This card looks like you slaved away on it but it is a piece of cake to make, and turns out so great!
Stamp Set:  Lovely Inside & Out
Ink:  Berry Burst, Bermuda Bay, Lemon Lime Twist, Black
Paper:  Berry Burst base 11 x 4 1/4, scored at 5 1/2; Bermuda Bay Layer, Whisper White Layer for back, Berry Burst 4x4 accordion, scored at 1/2, 2 & 3 1/2 (adhered to the front and back cover from the inside)
Accessories:  Calendar (downloaded from computer), Bermuda Bay Enamel Heart

And there you have it, our cards for December; join us in January where we will be working with Washi Tape.

Happy Stamping!
Cindy
