VIDEO: Blendabilities featuring Bloom with Hope stamp set

blendabilitiesToday's video is for this gorgeous sympathy card featuring the new Wisteria Wonder & Daffodil Delight Blendabilities markers from Stampin' Up. Part of the beauty of these babies isn't just how smooth and beautiful they color on paper, but because they are alcohol based you can use them on other surfaces...like our Pearls and Rhinestones for matching embellishments. The Bloom with Hope stamp set is a Hostess set, which means you can only get it free when you are either stamp club or workshop hostess, or place an order over $150 (single or combined with others) in my online store.

I highly recommend purchasing this set in Clear Mount, simply because my wood mount set is very hard to fit in the box. It’s like a puzzle and only seems to go a specific way. So I took a picture, printed it and stuck it to the inside of the box for the future. Here’s my picture in case you experience the same puzzle.
