Blendabilities Update

I want you to know that Stampin' Up! is experiencing quality issues with the Blendabilities markers. 
Except for the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad (item #132708) and the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad Refill (item #133456), all Blendabilities Markers are unavailable for ordering.  This includes Blendabilities markers that are in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.  At this time, backorders for Blendabilities will not be fulfilled. 
I know that this is an invonvenience for many of you, and I will share more information when it becomes available.  It's good to represent a company that puts a high value on quality.

Tall & Skinny Blendabilities Mojo352

I decided to play along again this week with the Mojo Monday sketch challenges.  This week's challenge is a tall & skinny card sketch.

Here is the card I came up with:

I ended up flipping the design elements because it worked better for the colored poppies.  The poppies were colored using the brand new Blendabilities markers.  These markers are SO addictive!  I used Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and the darkest brown from the skin tones assortment to color with.

I also used a small piece of the new Typset Specialty Designer Series Paper on the card, and made a matching envelope with it as well utilizing the Envelope Punch Board.  So quick and easy.  What I love about this paper is that it is very thin and so perfect for card layering!

Thanks for stopping by.

Another Sympathy

Sympathy cards are always the ones that I wish I didn't need to send.  This past week, I've needed to send out a few of them.

The new hostess stamp set, Bloom with Hope, was the set I chose to use.  I colored in the flowers using the new Blendabilities markers, using the Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive colors.  A simple Crumb Cake card stock base, a doily and some Cherry Cobbler seam binding trim finished off the look.

It's hard to tell in the photo, but the "With Sympathy" greeting was given a little dimension by placing a Stampin' Dimensional in the center and then holding down the ends using the new Fast Fuse
Adhesive (I love this stuff!).

Other items used:
Sizzix Big Shot, Ovals Collection Framelits

Blendabilities Flower

I love the new Blendabilities.  They are alcohol-based markers and brand new in the new catalog that is available tomorrow at noon.

You'll have to wait to order them just a little longer to order them, but it'll be worth the wait.

This card uses a new hostess stamp set, and it's so much fun to color.
