Christi's Creative Crew: Stampin' Blends Coming Soon!

I'm so excited about the new Stampin' Blends Markers! As of now Stampin' Up! does not have a firm release date, but for demonstrators we can order them through the 15th of October.

The 12 colors come in a light and a dark, sold separately or as a combo pack. Plus Ivory, Bronze and a Color Lifter (for when you make a little oops!)
I spent some time yesterday playing with my very own set!!

Coloring in small areas like the flowers on this bicycle basket was made super easy with the Stampin' Blends because each marker comes with a brush tip and a fine tip.

Last, but not least, I heat embossed this beautiful rose from GRACEFUL GARDEN in silver and colored it in with the Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz Stampin' Blends.

Here are some Stampin' Blends Tips:

1. You need to use Memento Black Ink or Heat emboss your image. If you use Archival Black Ink or any of our regular Ink Pads it will bleed.

2. You will NOT, I repeat, NOT color directly onto your stamps with the Stampin' Blends Markers. Instead use your Stampin' Write Markers, or a Classic Ink Pad.

3. You can layer your color to get a deeper color in areas you want to highlight. The rose was colored with the Daffodil Delight Dark Stampin' Blend and then where I wanted to highlight darker petals I just went over it again once or twice. With the leaves I started with the Pear Pizzazz Light Stampin' Blend and then highlighted with the dark.

4. The Color Lifter will soften the color that you might happen to color outside the line.

5. Replace the cover immediately to keep it from drying out.
