Friday’s Tip of the Week:  Storing Your Blends Markers

I’m “So Hoppy” to see two new Stamping Bee Team Members yesterday.  Thankfully, I’d made a bunch of these “So Hoppy Together” cards  in anticipation of our growing hive!  I can’t wait to get these out in the mail to them! and 

Aren’t these frogs just the cutest?  I really can’t believe this set is FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration.  And with all this rain we’ve had this year, the frogs will be out in full force this spring.  If you can’t beat ’em, stamp them!
​

These hoppy little guys are so fun to color, too.  I love using my Blends Markers to add subtle shading and they are perfect for No Line coloring!   At Bingo last week, someone asked me how I store my Blends Markers .  I found the pefect trays on Amazon,.  There are 6 stackable racks and they hold 72 markers.  They take up very little space and they fit on my shelves just perfectly.  (Mine came in black, not clear). 

With all this new Designer Series Paper, I need to make some cards!  I don’t know about you, but I feel so accomplished when I can use my new supplies.  Let’s get them off the shelf and use them!  Join me tomorrow at 9 am over on my Facebook Business Page.   I’m going to show you how to make at least 8 cards from just one sheet of 12″ x 12″ paper.
