Blendabilities

A new, and sure to be popular, accessory in our new Inspire, Create, Share Stampin' UP catalog are the Blendabilities.  These alcohol markers make artists out of anyone--the smooth coloring and easy-to-blend attributes make it fun to add color to stamped images. They come packaged in sets of three markers--one of the markers in each set is a true Stampin' UP color, and the other two are lighter or darker shades which blend together beautifully. 

For my recent new catalog open house, I created a make-and-take for all attendees to put together, and everyone got a chance to color with the Blendabilities.





Vivid Vases was stamped in Memento Black ink (this is a MUST when using alcohol markers, as Staz On will smear).  We used the Whisper White Note Cards, with an added layer.  Then we went to town coloring, using the Coastal Cabana, Pumpkin Pie, Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive collections of Blendabilities. 




The colored layer was adhered to a piece of Coastal Cabana, and some of the new Thick Bakers Twine in Coastal Cabana was wrapped and tied around the layer.


Cute card, and everyone enjoyed playing with the Blendabilities.

Blendabilities are not yet ready for prime time ordering--Stampin' UP has delayed their release a few more weeks until they have supply enough to meet demand.  I'm sure you'll find the delay is worth the wait--these markers are fantastic!

Let's get creating!
