I just received my pre-order of the NEW Blendabilities! Aren’t they pretty? They will be available sometime in June hopefully with our new catalog. Sets of 3, $11.95 a pack. (US)
There must be some chatter out there about these because over the weekend, I had 5 emails asking me what they are and when they are coming so I made a quick video:
(if viewing from your email, you may need to come to blog to see video)
They don’t take the place of our current markers, which are water based. These are alcohol based like Copics and will offer another coloring medium for SU lovers that coordinates with all of our colors easily.
Skin Tones, Set of 6 will be 22.95 when they are available.
This is a great example of how the Blendabilities work better then regular markers direct to paper. On the left is using the new alcohol markers. On the right, regular markers.
*by the way, I talked about the color remover. It really should be called a Color Mover – it doesn’t erase as much as ‘scoot’ it back into your coloring area. Wanted to clarify that as some people thought I meant it was an eraser. It did erase other spots for me if I went back and forth with it but not red!
I got a little crazy with the velcro dots but it does keep them all together until I find a better storage solution!
Be sure to use only Memento Tuxedo Black Ink with the Blendabilities, not StazOn which bleeds. The new Memento pad and refill will be available to customers June 2nd.
Goofing around on other papers with the new markers….SU suggests Whisper White.
Memento took 15 minutes to dry on vellum but it did dry eventually!
Another example of how vivid the new markers are! The left and middle were done with ink/blender pen and aquapainter/ink pad. The right is the Cherry Cobbler set of 3 Blendabilities.
Now for something you can buy this week!
Good from 5/6-5/12 Only
My thoughts on the deals this week….
I love the stitched ribbon, sad that it is going. Great deal on that ribbon since you get 10 yards! Perfect for bdays and holidays. The hearts a flutter stamp set is great but you will want the framelits to go with it – #130159 $24.95
So the deals this week may cost you a little more since you need things to go with them 🙂
Hi all! I made these 2 cards a while back for a sketch challenge using the Stampin’ Up scallop tag topper punch.
I do love that Woodgrain background stamp! Everything on these are Stampin’ Up:
For this one below, I used So Saffron card stock and ink with the Woodgrain stamp. I punched the tag from the embossed SU paper called Naturals Composition. Coral, Garden Green and Saffron markers for the flower (from Simple Stems) and Baked Brown Sugar ink for greeting.
The card below is square, 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″. Crumbcake card stock and ink for the woodgrain stamp, Pacific Point for the circle image. (I haven’t used Pacific in a really long time!) Soft Suede cs for the scalloped tag, embossed with the honeycomb folder. The little gold pearls are just the white pearls and I colored them with my gold Sharpie pen. Then I threw a few sequins on there.
Where’s the flower stamp from? Serene Silhouettes, page 64 of the SU annual catalog. I hadn’t used that stamp from the set at all but the others are well used!
Here are this week’s Stampin’ Up Weekly Deals! 4/8-4/14 Only.
Here’s my 2 cents on this week’s deals:
I think the Punch Pack is a staple! I use those 3 a LOT. I’m worried they are on sale since it may mean they are retiring in May when the Retiring stamps list comes out. I hope not or if they do, I sure hope they replace them with something as great!
The sparkle glimmer brads (they should really be called glitter brads) are fun but the legs sometimes stick together. I have to use my paper piercer to pry them open since they are ‘glimmered’ all the way down the legs. Annoying but the brads look nice once you get them on the card 🙂
Can’t go wrong with Baker’s Twiner, ever.
The Gingham Wheel is a nice border. I unmounted mine and use it on a block (members, see my video in Stamping School)
I used the SU mounting foam after I ripped it off the wheel. I use them so much more that way!
That “make a cake” stamp set is small. I got it free at a conference 2 years ago and it’s still unused. The tiny butterflies are useful but I have yet to use the cake. Maybe it’s just me.
The Secret Garden framelits go with the Secret Garden stamp set on page 94 and also 2 of the stamps from the Simple Stems in the Occasions catalog on page 33. I hope this means that they are making more flowers to coordinate with it for the next catalog?

The WEEKLY DEALS from Stampin’ Up are pretty good this week! Love the denim ribbon, love the flowers die, too!
If you saw my Stamping School videos this past Sunday, I used the Lace Details tape on a cool card with the Naturals Composition paper. I must’ve had a dream or something it would go on sale!
Off to prep for some classes! Go stamp something, Linda
