Thinking of You Card Tutorial
These large images with sentiments built in make designing simple and fun to do! I love Stampin' Blends, but sometimes I can't take them with me. And I know I don't have all the colors either, so here's another coloring option, especially for those of you who have limited space: Blender Pens.
Blender Pens pick up water-based ink and lay that color down on your projects, blending it lighter and lighter until the color is gone. You can pick up ink from the cover of your ink pads, from markers if you put some of the ink on a block, or from a drop of reinker (this one will be intense and take a while to run out!). Once you're done coloring, scribble your Blender Pen on a scratch paper (with no ink) until the color is gone. Once done, you can use it again, and again with other colors.
Product of the Week: Just Because Host Stamp Set
The Just Because Cling Stamp Set features three medium size floral images that are perfect for both full-size cards and note cards. Each image also has a sentiment built in so you don't have to arrange your stamps to line everything up. It's already lined up for you! It also comes with two additional sentiments in case you have some other occasions to make cards for. You can either cover up the sentiments on the image stamps, or you can cut the sentiments off from the images so you can stamp everything individually.
