Blendabilities Card ...

A very special friend and craft-lover, had a birthday recently, and this is the card I made for her …

You can never have too many layers when it comes to flowers …

I placed the Heart from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack over the image of New Zealand, as this is where we live …

This little lady is coloured using the Blendabilities Markers …

It was the prime opportunity to break out the New Stampin’ Up! alcohol based Blendabilities Markers.   

Along with colouring stamped images, you can also colour non-porous objects, such as Rhinestones, Pearls and baked Embossed Powder, so Stampin’ Up! makes it even easier to match your colours on your projects!

The Blendabilities come in packs of 3, for example each pack has a light, medium and dark hue of the one colour e.g. Coastal Cabana.   I have also used Daffodil Delight, Rich Razzleberry, and Skin Tone Assortment pens for this project.

The Skin Tone Assortment are a tad more expensive, as you receive 6 pens instead of just the 3 markers in the regular packs.  

The colours are Bronze, Mocha, Blush, Natural, Nude and Ivory.

The Circle Card Thinlits are one of my favourite Stampin' Up! products, you receive 10 Dies in the pack, and it makes making a flip/swing card a breeze!

“Create With Kathe” For Thursday 26th June 2014

This weeks class we experimented with the new Blendabilities Pens.

The Blendabilities are sets of pens, 3 in a pack, that are all the same colour i.e. “Coastal Cabana”, but the pens are light, medium and dark {Coastal Cabana}.

They are perfect for colouring flowers and in this project was used to make the first card.

As the Blendabilities are alcohol-based markers, you can colour in the Rhinestones to make them match back with your project.

We coloured the first batch of Rhinestones in “Cherry Cobbler” for the little ladies hair, belt and the star centre on the Linen Thread Flower, and coloured the second batch of Rhinestones in “Rich Razzleberry” for the centre of the flowers.

Our first project was a cute greeting card, with a matching bookmark.

The ladies also learnt this week how to make the cute flower, made from Linen Thread.

The second project was an easy to replicate two toned card, in the new In Colour Blackberry Bliss verses Whisper White.
