Happy New Year!

Hope you enjoyed the holidays as much as I did. It was a wonderful time with family and friends!

I'm now ready to get back to full time stamping with you.

Stampin'Up!'s Blendabilities are really awesome coloring tools. These alcohol markers are a fun way to color in line images and shade from dark to light. They are really easy to use you can experiment to find the best method that works for you.  You don't have to blend with them--you can just use them for coloring, but blending will become addictive once you find out how easy and fun it is to do.

These markers come in packs of 3 (light, medium and dark) for each of the 12 (and now 4 more in the new Occasions mini catalog effective 1/6/15). So even if you don't use them to shade--there are 3 colors in a pack that can be used for coordinated matching colors.

Here is a card that we are creating at the 1/3/15 Blendabilities class (this is our last of 6 classes). I'm using a new image from the Indescribable Gift stamp set featured in the Occassions Mini catalog:

See how the colors of the flowers blend from dark to light. If you are realy talented (and I am not), you can imagine where the "light" is shining on an object and shade your images accordingly. Or, if you are like me, and you don't have that talent, you can just shade from dark to light and you will definitely "wow" the recipient of the awesome card.

One of the reasons I'm talking to you about the Blendabilities is that they are now FREE in the Sale-a-bration mini catalog that goes into effect 1/6/15. This means that if you purchase product for $50 (excluding tax and shipping) you can select any set of the Blendabilities (p. 20 of the SAB mini) for FREE!!

Isn't that a great way to try out these awesome new alcohol markers?

Get yours FREE now by placing orders of $50 in product (1//6 - 3/31)!! See how fun it is to use them!
