Do you recognize this designer series paper?  It is the Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Catalog. . . but wait you say – the colors in that designer series paper are Old Olive, Basic Black and Whisper White.   Well, I am showcasing a new product – Stampin’ Blends!   Stampin’ Up! is introducing their fabulous alcohol markers for customers on November 1!

For this card, I colored the Merry Little Christmas designer series paper with the Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blend!   I LOVE this look!  It sure makes a great focal point for this card!

Alcohol markers color so easily and blend like soft butter!  No marker lines.  So beautiful.  I can’t wait to share them with you!   You can check out the information on Stampin’ Blends here.

I used the Label Me Pretty Stamp set – or bundle which includes the Pretty Label Punch.  I accented the greeting with a couple of circle punches.  And of course the Bermuda Bay Chevron Ribbon and the Black Mini Sequin Trim.

Now keep on hopping on this blog hop to see all of the fabulous projects using Stampin’ Up!”s fabulous designer series papers!
