 Hi Everybody,

I went to You Tube to see what I could find out about Blendabilities.  Wow! Awesome information.  So, Watch Deb Valder for a Blendabilities Beginners class on You Tube and she also has a video using white vellum cardstock.  She makes everything so clear and precise.  There are several you might want to watch but she is my all time favorite.

Some information for you on the Blendabilities by Stampin' Up!


1.  What are Blendabilities: They are alcohol ink markers made for blending and shading.  They are acid free, lignin free.
2.  They come 3 to a pack in light, medium and dark inks. Skin tone has six and you can also get a color lifter.
3.  Two different points to work with....brush point and fine tip and they are made from nylon, this will keep them from fraying.
4.  The caps fit real tight, so be careful you don't have anyone sitting next to you or your fine china is sitting around.  They need to be this tight and the cap has a ridge on it to keep the alcohol and ink from evaporating.
5.  There will be 12 sets as soon as SU gets all the Blendabilities in.  Customers will not be able to get them until the end of June or early July.  Will keep you posted on availability.  If you join as a demonstrator you can get some of them in your kit.
6.  It is recommended that you use Memento Black ink ( it has no odor like some other black stamp pads do) to stamp images and allow it to dry for about 30 seconds so you make sure it doesn't bleed.
7.  Some recommend that you go from light to dark with your markers and do so in a
circular motion.
8.  You can color buttons, rhinestones, window sheets, vellum, metal, etc.
9. The White Color lifter is to correct coloring mistakes by lifting the color from the paper.

These are the colors that will be released sometime in late June or early July.  The other 6 sets will be released at a later date. There items are on page 212 of the New Catalog
