Just Add Color Designer Paper Meets Stampin’ Blends! Hi Stampers and welcome to our November Control Freaks Blog Hop! You may be arriving here to my blog on your own or from the fabulous Cindy Elam’s blog. Didn’t she have some awesome projects? Our theme this month is “Happy Holidays”. Once you view my projects, I will send you to the next blog so you can take the whole tour!
I have three projects for you tonight and I really can’t tell you which one is my favorite, I LOVE them all! The Stampin’ Blends I used on all three projects are:
- Old Olive
- Pink Pirouette
- Crumb Cake

If you haven’t purchased the Stampin’ Blends yet…YOU REALLY NEED TOO! I just LOVE to color with these. Can you tell I’m addicted to these new alcohol markers? I hope you totally enjoyed all three of my Stampin’ Blends projects. I will now send you off to visit my teammate Julie Davison’s blog. I just know she’s going to wow you with her projects! Thanks for visiting tonight!
What a great trio of projects! You make coloring look so easy! I am inspired to open my pack of Just Add Color Designer Paper and just play!
Debbie, using Just Add Color for holiday cards was brilliant! I never would have thought of it. Love your coloring (and I agree, the Stampin' Blends are awesome)!
Great cards! TFS
All lovely cards!
