Welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop! We’re a collective of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the globe, dedicated to sharing our passion with you. Through collaborative efforts, we aim to ignite your creativity and inspire you to embark on your own crafting journey. Every month, we’re tasked with exploring a specific technique, ranging from watercolor and Stampin’ blends to various forms of embossing, ribbons, designer series paper, and innovative folds. The possibilities are truly limitless.

Today we are using Stampin’ Blends. Stampin’ Blends are alcohol-based pens. These are used for creating dark and light highlights and shadows in your images creating a 3-D effect.

The card for today is featuring the Ice cream Swirl bundle and the Lighter Than Air DSP. This card will be in the March Latte To-Go Please! card class. For more information on this class just scroll through to learn more about it and to register.

Ice Cream Swirl

I applied Dark Bubble Bath, Dark Azure Afternoon, and Dark Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends. After coloring each section, the Color Lifter was used to blend and soften the colors across the entire image. This card looks so good, you just want to start tasting the delicious flavors. What flavors of ice cream do you love? Let me know in the comments.

Now let us hop on over to the next demonstrator to see what Stampin’ Blends they used and how they used them.

Option #4-$35.00

Lattes Stampers Members (my first level downline) can purchase this option for the make-and-take kits and PDF. This is a reward for belonging to my team! For more information, head over to my blog and check out the team members’ benefits.

All class kit products will be ordered the day after the deadline. This is a preorder only, and per SU policy, I will not have the product on hand ready to ship. Because of this, it takes about one week after the deadline for me to place the order, and then to cut, prepare, and ship all the class kits. I can only mail to US residents. If you live out of the U.S., you can still purchase the PDF. 

There is no actual online class (unless stated otherwise.) This is just a kit that comes to your mailbox and is available to do at your convenience. But there is nothing to look for online other than the email with the PDF. Please make sure the email you register with is the email you want the PDF emailed to.

Registration will close on April 30th.

The expected shipped date is May 15th or sooner.

I can only ship to the US ONLY. PDF is available for all countries. 



If you live in the U.S. and do not have a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, please contact me. Will be happy to help you with your creative projects. You may also visit my Online Store to place your order and have it shipped to your home.
