Today’s Handmade Card Idea
We’re doing a little Christmas preview with Blendabilities Markers today. It’s something great for those of you who like to water color or who would like to water color.
It uses that cool Christmas Bauble stamp featured on page 19 of the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Seasonal Catalog.
Honestly? The Whisper White & Soft Suede piece was already attached together and sitting on our stamp table unused and lonely. I must’ve barked and distracted her because she stamped it off center!
That’s what inspired us to add the greeting from Merry Everything. We put that up in the huge blank spot she left in the upper right corner.
Water coloring with the alcohol based Blendabilities Markers is easy and fun, but it may not be for mass producing hundreds of cards. That is unless you have a lot of time on your hands. But it was perfect for the pre-layered card stock that we had.
Here’s what we used on this card. Perhaps we should show you later how we made that Cherry Cobbler Layer. Now THAT was a bit of easy engineering!
We’d love to help you get your supplies. Just click on any picture to get started. NOTE: You’ll save 15% when you purchase the Merry Everything stamp set together with the coordinating punch.

VERRRRY pretty! Great job with the blending and shading – a skill I have not developed, but certainly am impressed by other’s skills. I think the Merry Christmas tag is great.
Thank you, Sharon. Keep practicing. Remember that YOU have opposing thumbs so you’ll always be better than this dog!
