Stampin' Blends Archives - Delight of my Art

I recently earned this new Sale-a-bration Blossoming Basket Bundle and I love it! The butterfly is so dainty and cute, the font is gorgeous and the basket of flowers is so versatile. But the Basket Weave Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF) is sooo coooool! It looks fabulous as a white on white textured background, like here, but I’ve seen so many other uses for it. I will definitely be playing around with this more and posting about it. I’m so glad it will be carrying over into the next annual catalog. And I got it for free!

I also used the Calypso Coral shimmer SAB ribbon here. I love Calypso Coral (can you tell?) and this card does a good job of showing it off. I used the *Blends to color the basket and butterfly, which I then fussy cut out. I cut inside the handle part too just by poking a hole with my scissor tip and then cutting around the inside. The text is embossed in white. I decorated the envelope with the mini butterflies on the front left side and the back flap.

Do you have this stamp set? It’s only around until March 31 so don’t miss out! It is free with a qualifying order of $100 or more. Let me know what you’ve created with this set and if you CASE this card I’d love to see it! You can email me at deb.smeak@gmail.com or post it in our Facebook group here.

*Certain Blends are on back order until June as they’ve been incredibly popular. They are definitely worth getting. If you want the entire collection make sure you order the minute they’re back in stock! If you’d like to be added to a contact list for when they are back in stock please email me your email address and/or phone number so I can email or text you as soon as I know when they’re available. I predict they’ll be on back order again soon after they’re back in stock.

I love roses and especially coral and yellow rose blends so when I saw these new artist quality alcohol blending markers from Stampin’ Up! I knew what I was going to do. These blend so nicely and are very easy to work with. You don’t have to be an artist to end up with gorgeous results. You can layer each color on top of others or themselves, creating layers of color. (They do bleed, so make sure to use scrap paper underneath.)

I only started with a few colors, namely the three I used here which are the light and dark version of Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral and Old Olive. I also picked up the Ivory, Bronze and Color Lifter, which acts like an eraser to add highlights to projects or as a nice way to erase an oops outside the lines. I love that the price point is the same for a single marker and the entire collection. I don’t feel bad at all collecting these as I am able. Essentially they are allowing us the single markers at the bundle price, which was really cool of Stampin’ Up!

For the card above I colored in the yellows first and then gradually going from light to dark coral. In the YouTube video I did it backwards to see if there was any difference. I think I blended in the video even more than the card above and it resulted in a more blended version of the picture. I really like both and they were both simple so it’s really a win win.

They can also be used to color in Perfect White Accents, Pearls, Rhinestones and ribbon! What a perfect way for us to continue our matching tradition and make even more options of embellishments for us to use on our projects. Thank you Stampin’ Up!

I hope you consider picking up a few for yourself or for your friends for Christmas or really splurge and get the whole set for yourself. Please visit my online store here after November 1, 2017 for these to be available for purchase. You won’t regret it. There is also a kit and special limited time stamp set available for use with the markers as well, which will also be posted November 1st.

For anyone wary about these compared to their older Blendabilities markers which were recalled, you know Stampin’ Up! stands behind their products and have extensively researched and perfected these markers to be high quality and perform well under scrutiny. Being a new demonstrator I did not have the pleasure of using the old ones but I understand there was an issue with *some caps having small holes so the markers would dry out too quickly. I know they offered complete refund for all those old markers for a few months and gave everyone an option to keep them or sell them back for credit. Stampin’ Up! truly cares about their customers, the quality of their product and providing excellent customer care service. I know they have worked extra hard to provide an exceptional product here and I have not been disappointed at all.

Cheers to a relaxing time coloring and stamping!
