MAKE ART

Blendable Dye inks

we have 12 colors in this release...

they are 12 colors from my current archival palette, which gives us so

many creative options, 
since they coordinate perfectly...

keep in mind that the archival inks 

are a translucent oil based permanent ink

and the new

wendy vecchi 

MAKE ART

Blendable Dye inks

are a translucent 
water based blendable dye ink...

this makes them PERFECT to pair with 
the 24 archival inks we have...

we can use them together since 

oil & water never mix!

we can stamp or stencil with archival and blend these new Blendables right over the archival ink, with no bleeding, smearing or blending...

or...

we can use them to blend a beautiful background, then stamp or stencil right over the background using our archival inks...

perfect!

now about the pads themselves...

they are the GOLDILOCKS of ink pads...

not too small...

not too large...

just PERFECT!

here's a photo showing the red geranium archival with the new

red geranium MAKE ART Blendable, 
so you can see the size better...

did you see?

the cases are SEXY BLACK!

and get ready for this...

the price per pad is just ...

$3.99...

I'm pleased that they are very affordable...

that means you can add all 12 to
 your collection for $50.00 total!

yes...we have reinkers for the pads...

they are $3.49 each...

these start shipping to stores 
on MONDAY April 23...
I HATE waiting, so this is GREAT!

now...

the only problem?

we NEED the other 12 colors!!!

hello...buy them so we get the others!
I keep reaching for the missing colors...

look at the pads...

the base of the ink pads is nice and thick, making them very easy to grip...

their smaller size makes them really nice to hold & use...

look how cute they are...

 below are the 12 colors in this release...

does that flower look familiar?

SPECIAL THANKS 

to Taylor from Ranger

 for making the labels sooo stinking' cute!

here's the press release, 
if you'd like to see the colors all together...

below are some examples of 

the MAKE ART Blendable colors...

this is red geranium, poppy & sunflower...

next we have...

bluebird, fern green and prickly pear...

for this this next sample I used the blending tool to add inks thru the Stampers Anonymous circle grate stencil,
 using cornflower blue, violet, then acorn...
these are all the MAKE ART Blendables...

keep in mind that they are translucent inks, 

so the more you add, the more color you get...

I kept this sample pretty light, 
compared to the very first sample...

more ink means a darker color...
less ink & it's a lighter color...

I stenciled red geranium, orange blossom, sunflower, prickly pear and garden patina for this one...

quick & easy background, using the intersecting circles stencil!

here's the very first test card I made using them...

way back in JANUARY!

if you think it's been easy to keep quiet about them...

trust me...

many days I thought I would explode!

if you look at that small 5 petal flower on the right...

that blending is made possible by the detail blending tools...

these inks are the reason I wanted NEEDED 

the detail blending tools...

the wendy vecchi 
MAKE ART

Blendables 
are perfect to use with the detail blending tools...

the flower below shows that & it couldn't be easier...

that flower is a flat mat mini,
 but looks really dimensional because of the shading...

they make a huge difference in your art!

in the photo below,

 you can see I used my archival inks and the new wendy vecchi MAKE ART Blendable inks on this card...
here are the colors I used...

here's another example of the awesome blending...
these colors look really pretty on my Ranger Perfect Grey cards...

the heart was embossed with Ranger's new silver tinsel embossing powder...

even those tiny flowers can be shaded, 
using the detail blending tool...
they are a MUST HAVE!

 I'm sure you're wondering if these new inks are the same formulation as Tim's distress inks ...

they are NOT...

this formula was created at Ranger for me!

and if you're wondering if I'm switching to these & 
ignoring my archival inks...

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

the Blendables were formulated to work together with the archival inks perfectly!

now we have OPTIONS...

color coordinated...

OPTIONS!

YIPPEE!!!

follow me on Instagram

wendy vecchi MAKE ART Blendables in action!

introducing 4 NEW stamp/stencil sets

Hey my friends...

I got the Dyson out & sucked away the cob webs here,

just  to show you my 

4 NEW Stampers Anonymous stamp sets, 

2 NEW backgrounds stamps...

and the 4 coordinating Mat Minis 

for these 4 new stamp sets...

ALL 4 of these stamp sets 

come with a full page stencil!

it's right in the package...

if you liked our Stamp-it Stencil-its...

this is them...but even better...

like ON STEROIDS!

we included the stencils on 2 of our sets from the January release & they were very well received, so we're continuing..

the stencil pages have binder holes in them for easy storage...

I use my stamp binder to keep them organized...

just place the stencil page behind the coordinating stamp set...

it's super convenient, the stencils are protected, 

easy to find and 

always ready to MAKE ART!

 our GREAT TALENTED AWESOME 

graphics genius Matt, 

made them for us & they are perfect!

 the full page stencil is only $2.00, 

which puts the price of the sets

 at a very reasonable $19.95...

if you haven't tried them yet...trust me...

with so many options, they are a

game changer!

USE this link, 

to see the whole flyer, 

with more samples!

GREAT NEWS...

NO LONG WAIT...

everything starts shipping on 

MONDAY, April 23...

 give your fav store a few days after that to get them in...

if there are any MUST HAVES,

let your fav store know that so they can order them for you...

first set...

SCS160 Special Art...

the sentiments fit inside the circle...

the stencil lets us ink just the circle, 

while the flower/leaf is protected...

then there is a stencil section 

for inking the flower and leaf...

soooo easy!

the stencil also has section for inking over the stamped leaves...

SCS160 has a coordinating set of Mat Minis...

so that the leaves & flower can be used alone...

like this...

or layered over the circle image...

those leaves are great...

they fit many flowers that we have...

set #2 is...

SCS161

Friendship & Art...

and here's the coordinating MAT MINIS...

both flowers from the set are included...

here's one, using the bottom right flower...

the other flower is large & 

really makes a statement on the card!

I paired it with the leaf from SCS160...

we filmed a video at Stampers Anonymous

sharing how to use this lace doily 

(from SCS152 CAFE ART)

 to change it into a square doily...

set #3 is...

Mug ART...

the Mug Art set has Mat Minis too!

you don't see it on the sample, 

but there are these mat mini words 

in with the set...

GULP...I think that's a funny word...

good for many happenings!

and SIP...

the stencil for this set allows polka dots, stripes or 3 colors to be added to the stamped mugs...

these are good year round mat minis...

I'll be sharing more in the next days...

lots of sentiments on the set 

were designed to fit the mug...

plus we have others in our stash...

these are perfect for any occasion and really nice for guy cards!

they're large too, to make the focal point on your cards...

can't wait to use these for Christmas cards...

remember that mat minis can be used with embossing folders for another option...

super cute!

the stencil is designed to allow us to ink only inside of the mug with the blending tool, without inking the outside of the mug...

really makes it look dimensional...

no masking needed!

the "steam" stamp is from SCS152 CAFE ART...

it came out last fall...

and the last set...

OMG...

look at that bucket of flowers!

it's SCS163...

A Bunch Of Art...

the stencil for this set is amazingly detailed & we filmed a video showing how it works...

we'll be posting that soon...

did I tell you that MATT is a genius?

OH YES he is...

he made this one super special for us!

you'll enjoy using

 the detail blending tool with this set...

it's perfect for inking those tiny stencil areas...

we can ink the individual areas 

with NO MASKING...

huge timesaver and so convenient!

and these win the award for 

BEST MAT MINIS...

all 6 of those teeny tiny flowers are mat minis...

and the rose is too...

48 pieces in that set...

adorable!

I've made so many samples with the bucket...

it's my fav from this release!

 we also have 2 individual backgrounds...

the first is...

brand new...

it's

Simply Plaid...

it's a good everyday basic...

ink it with just one color...

use multiple colors or 

it's a good one to use with embossing powders, 

like I did below...

and the second has been brought back, 

by request as a single background...

it's Faded Florals...

originally from an older set...

if you have LCS053, you already have this one...

it looks great stamped in one color...

I really love it stamped with

Watering Can Archival on my Ranger Perfect Grey cards...

or

use the mini archival ink pads

with tim's stamp platform 

to add multiple colors to color the flowers and the leaves...

it takes a few stampings, 

but the platform makes it super easy...

here's the simply plaid, with that bucket again...

for the 3rd time on this post!

I TOLD you that I LOVE IT!

did you notice that lace stamp added to the simply plaid?

I had a blast making a bunch of samples 

using these new goodies...

I'll be waiting to hear your fav...

I already told you mine!

next up at 11am Chicago time is 

my Ranger announcement...

that blog post will go live here at 11AM today...

sit down for this one...

I'm telling you...

it's
