A Simple Hello with Blended Blooms with a NEW Blendabilities Basics Video Tutorial


Are you ready for another Blendabilities card?  I have another one for you today…. this was another card that I made using up the bits and pieces I had lying around my craft room.  From a stamped Blended Bloom image that needed to be colored to the Striped Scallop thinlit and the cut out pieces from a Dazzling Diamond Glimmer paper die cut.  A little bit of this and a little bit of that can come together for something new and fun like this:

And if you are interested, I finally got my Blendabilties Basics video up to share the basics about these markers along with tips and techniques for coloring your images along with a few other fun ways to use your markers that DON’T involve stamping! Smile  I have the video below for you to check out!

Tips for making this card:

  • Use the 2-way Glue Pen for an easy and mess-free way to adhere your Striped Scallop die cut to your project – like the Early Espresso die cut I have on my card.
  • You can put your die cut over cardstock for a simple accent, or step it up a notch by using the leftover cutouts from a prior project to fill in the gaps!  In this case I had previously cut out a Striped Scallop piece from the Dazzling Diamond glimmer paper.  I used the outline on a different card and kept the teardrop pieces that had been left behind to use later.  So when I was making this card, I just started gluing them the the holes on this card!
  • For a different take on leaves, use the Scalloped Tag Topper punch to create two scalloped pieces.  Let them peek out from behind your flower for a hint of green.
  • When coloring your flower, it is a big enough image that you will want to color it a few petals at a time.  I recommend finishing up 2-4 petals at a time instead of trying to do all of them at once, which would cause the ink to dry too much and keep them from blending well.


I actually walk through coloring a few petals of this flower along with other flowers and projects in this Blendabilities Basics video:
