Tips - Some more Blendabiliites tips and an ink update

Here's another of my "Blendies" cards - in this one several different colours were used.

My "tips" for this newsletter are a couple of reminders about the care of your Blendabilities Markers.
The Blendabilities should be stored lying flat (on their side) so that the ink doesn't pool at one end and dry out at the other end. This is the same storing technique as should be used for the Stampin' Write Markers.
Keeping the caps on the Blendabilities is also very important. Being alcohol markers, they will evaporate quickly. You should recap them whenever not in use. To recap, lie the marker and the cap onto your desk, line up and push cap back on.

Like all our products, you are encouraged to open, check and use your Blendabilities as soon as you receive them. The Blendabiliites carry the usual Stampin' Up! guarantee to be free from manufacturing defects for a period of 90 days after shipping. By opening, checking and using your products you will have plenty of time report any missing items, incorrect shipments or defective/damaged merchandise to your demonstrator - that's me :-)

What Sets Stampin' Blendabilities Apart? 
  • The rectangular barrels keeps your markers from rolling away
  • Each marker comes with a tip on each end - brush and fine
  • Marker tips are made of nylon, which is superior to polyester which can fray
  • The caps are colour coded - easy to identify
  • Stampin' Blendabilities co-ordinate with our cardstock, and ribbons, and accessories!
Stampin' Blendabilities are designed to work with the Momento Ink Pad. The markers also work well with several of our classic Stampin' Pads (noted below). Keep in mind that colours not listed are prone to smearing and are not recommended for use with Stampin' Blendabilities. Also, remember that you'll get the best blending results using our Whisper White cardstock, and when the stamped image is completely dry before you start blending.

Classic Stampin' Pads that work well Stampin' Blendabilities
Always Artichoke, Baked Brown Sugar, Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Hello Honey, Marina Mist, Melon Mambo, Lost Lagoon, Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz, Pink Pirouette, Pistachio Pudding, Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie, Sahara Sand, Smoky Slate, So Saffron, Soft Sky, Tangelo Twist, Tangerine Tango, Tempting Turquoise, Wild Wasabi, Wisteria Wonder

STOP PRESS - Pick a pack of Paper


WOW - another Stampin' Up! promotion for October - and this one is a goodie!
Anyone who signs up as a Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrator during October will receive 
one FREE pack of designer series paper (DSP) every month for 6 months! 

Yes that's right - you will receive six FREE packs of DSP (valued at $137.70) 
One per month between November 2014 and April 2015 
So long as you remain a Demonstrator during that period 

That's a fantastic deal for you - and also one for me because if you join my team 
I will also receive one free pack of DSP each month for the same period.
And of course if you sign up, then have someone sign up with you - you will get an extra pack of DSP each month - one for each new recruit - up to a max of 5 extra packs per month - WOW
Now that's a win-win!
