If you're tired of waiting to order Blendabilities, you'll be happy to know that Stampin' Up! has finally published a release date of JULY 1st!! That's next Tuesday!
If you don't know what Blendabilities are and what all the excitements is about, read on.First off, Blendabilities are very different from our Stampin' Write Markers. They are alcohol markers instead of water-based ink markers. That means you can actually BLEND the colors which you can't do very well with the water-based markers. Each color assortment includes light, medium and dark shades of one color. I've been playing with mine and I think they are awesome! Alcohol markers work very differently than the water-based markers. The ink actually soaks into the card stock, as opposed to sitting on top. You can go over and over the area with different shades without degrading the card stock.
One of the Blendabilities pens is called a COLOR LIFTER. It doesn't act as an eraser exactly; it's more like it moves the ink you've applied around a bit. It's also alcohol based and when applied to an area, it can push the colors into the card stock more. That's how you can get light areas into whatever you are coloring. The Color Lifter is great for blending layers of colors.
The are also super great for coloring your rhinestone, pearls and even buttons!
They work best with Stampin' Up's Whisper White card stock. And another must have item is the Black Memento Ink. It is the best black ink I have ever used and you really need this ink for the Blendabilities. You can find it on page 212 along with the Blendabilities markers.
To see one of the cards I have made using the Blendabilities Markers, go to Blended Bloom and check it out. Also, here are a couple of other cards I made:
Can you tell I also really love the Blended Bloom single stamp??? It is a bargain too - pg. 167 - $11.95.
