WOW! I had a wonderful time in Pittsburg at Onstage (Stampin' Up! Annual convention), first in-person event with Stampin' Up! since 2019.

I am soooo... fired up 🔥 after:

• seeing the great products coming in 2023, 
• meeting creative and enthusiastic stampers,

that I can't wait to share the many new ideas that I learned with you over the coming months. And guess what? I met two people that already follow Plum Crazy Stamping - so great to meet them in person (Hi ladies🙋‍♀️)!

Q and A

Differences between the Stampin' Blends and the Stampin' Write Markers

Stampin' Blends - 

• Stampin’ Blends are "artist quality" alcohol markers and will stain (do not get on clothing or use on stamps). Also, the ink will bleed through the cardstock when images are colored - so have scratch paper under the image when coloring.
• Stampin' Blends need to be used with images stamped with Memento-Black Tuxedo Ink, so the images do not smear when colored. 
• Blends color images "smoothly" and do not show "marker lines". Add just the right amount of color shading with the light and dark markers on images with the brush tip or fine point. Layer additional color to intensify the colors.
• Available to purchase as a combo pack with a light and dark shade markers for most Stampin' Up! colors. 
• Stampin’ Blends are not refillable and should not be used on rubber or photopolymer stamps.
• TIP - Color in small areas at a time so the marker ink is wet when blended from light to dark or dark to light ink.
• TIP - Make sure the Blends' caps are snapped on tight so the ink doesn't dry out.
• TIP - Use the "Color Lifter" to create highlighted areas on the images or to erase color outside the image borders.
• NOTE - Similar to Copic markers but are less expensive.

Stampin' Write Markers - 

• Are permanent markers and come in all the Stampin' Up colors. They are water-based like the Stampin' Up! ink pads and need to be used with images stamped with Archival Ink (Basic Black) or STAZON INK
• Are good for coloring small images, fine detail and/or writing.
• Stampin’ Markers can be used to color directly on the stamps and then stamp on paper (breathe on the stamp before pressing on paper to re-moisturize the ink). 
• A good technique of getting multiple colors on one image.
• TIP - use them to fix sentiments or "fine lines" that do not stamp fully when "stamping".
