Stampin' Up! Blendabilities Update

 It is with much sadness that I share that Stampin' Up! has come to the difficult decision that, despite their huge popularity, our Blendabilities will no longer available for sale.

For more information on the manufacturing scenarios that led them to come to this difficult decision as well as what to do if you've recently purchased Blendabilites that have been on back order please click here for the FAQ sheet. To my knowledge unless you ordered online none of my customers are waiting on a Blendabilities back order as part of their Sale-a-bration orders but if I am mistaken please ensure you fill out the Survey link in the FAQ sheet to ensure that you can get your alternative choice.

In the meantime, while it is disappointing to loose our alcohol based line, we would like to remind customers that we still have many amazing coloring options for your paper crafting needs that can create a very similar look to the Blendabilities using a couple add on tools! 

Stamp Write Markers ~ water based

Hybrid Motorcycle

I missed out on getting this stamp in the Summer mini last year but was ecstatic to see it come out on MDS cause that gave me a second chance - with the added benefits of no need for storage plus 'resizing' options.

Again - I printed this at home directly to Watercolour paper and than colored it with my Stamp Write Markers and Aquapainter and added a little bling with gold glitter and the two way glue pen! Also brought out my Colour Spritz to spray some 'crumb cake dirt' onto the cardstock back layer - love this tool!

And for the sentiment I paired together the enjoy and life words from the fabulous phrases stamp set and stamped it along the envelope as well - which will leave a nice 'generic card' for when an occasion arises to send this babe out to a loved one!

Run for the Cure Hybrid Series - part three

This shirt stamp is another fun one in the set! The stamp itself is 'blank' outline of the shirt and I paired it with the ribbon of hope. I also used the larger ribbon of hope to create a specialty background paper.

I was able to try out my new Bigz dies the Scallop Oval which I used the middle for this card and kept the scallop frame for another and I paired it with the Ovals Bigz die! I also used the 1 inch and 1 1/4 inch circle punches again for the I wear pink sentiment!

Run for the Cure Hybrid Series - part two

After a lovely day of shopping with my sister here in NY - where I got some awesome deals off my wish list! I thought I would take a moment to share another card - the joy of technology that I can be here on vacation and still sharing my stampin' passion with others! I downloaded these cards to my laptop before I left and even brought some water colouring images and my Stamp Write markers and aqua painter so I can create here too ..... cause creating is a vacation in of itself ;)

So without further ado here is another installation for my Run for the Cure - Pink themed card set ... I love the flowing dress from this stamp set- fun to water colour and hard to see but I blinged it up for a night on the town with some GLITTER always fun to add glitter!

Run for the Cure Hybrid Series

OK ... this card is a hybrid meaning that it features both Stampin' up! products ....including the new Decorative Label punch from the Holiday mini ....as well as the Fight like a Girl stamp set from the Breast Cancer Foundation which has been water coloured with my Stamp Write Markers and aqua painter and Pretty in Pink marker and Melon Mambo shading!

These are cards I am going to be packaging up and selling to raise funds for the Run for the Cure on October 3rd. The inside of the card is blank so that it can be used for any occasion .... and there are several more in the collection for another day ;)

More Halloween Cards ...

I am just totally loving this card set .... so much I could not wait for October to start playing with it! I love the water colouring - it is so relaxing and reminds me of simple times of being a kid and turning something plain into something spectacular :)

The sentiment and spider web are from a clear mount stamp set from another company purchased before I was addicted to Stampin' Up products ;)

Halloween colour inspirations used in this card are Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry, Certainly Celery and Basic Black.

Used the Elements of Style vines to mimic pumpkin vines on the Razzleberry paper layer.

Back with more Bloomin Beautiful

Unfortunately the Bloomin' Beautiful is a retired set ... but I just love it ... there is a current set in the new catalog called Happiness Shared that is very similar just has not made it into my stampin' closet yet.

This particular set is great for 'layering' to give the flower pop factor ... I think this one might be another card to make it into the Run for the Cure fund-raising collection!

Bloomin Beautiful

This is a retired stamp set called Bloomin' Beautiful that retired July 1st with the new catty unveiling - but it is so beautiful for water colouring - I just had to share to show off how great the Stamp Write markers are for the water colour technique ... I LOVE water colouring with the markers and my aqua painter :)

With this card after I water coloured the leaves with Night of Navy and used the same colour for the shading. Then when it was dry - I topped the leaves with Chrystal Effects for that 'fresh morning dew' look for the card!
