A mix of old and new (current stamps and sneak peek In Colors) – this Stampin Blends technique is one you’ll want to try TODAY if you haven’t used it already. Such an amazing look, and it’s so simple! The Ice Cream Swirl stamps are perfect for making the most of Stampin’ Blends (beautiful saturated alcohol markers). Learn how to put them to work for easy coloring that makes a great impression.
How to Use Stampin Blends Alcohol Markers: Color on Color
- Stamp image in Classic Stampin Pad (Pretty in Pink In Color Sneak Peek shown here)
- Use Stampin’ Blends LIGHT Pretty in Pink Marker to color all over
- Use Stampin’ Blends DARK Pretty in Pink Marker to add shadow lines along stamped lines
- Go back with LIGHT Marker to color at the intersection between light and dark to blend
- Repeat for each color
- BONUS Stampin’ Blends Marker Tip – use the Ivory Marker (from Ivory/Bronze combo) to go around the outer edge and add definition and depth to the image on Basic White cardstock

Today’s card is one the featured cards in LovenStamps Monthly Tutorials for April (details below). I’ll be sharing 4 great projects with the Ice Cream Swirl stamps and dies (available now as a bundle) paired with the 2024-2026 In Colors: Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie, Shy Shamrock, Summer Splash and Petunia Pop.
These new colors are a sneak peek because they’ll be available starting on May 1. OR if you’re a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, you can pre-order them now. Can’t wait? Join my LovenStampfuls demonstrator family and you can add these new colors to your Starter Kit Order!
If you’re set on waiting until May 1 for the new products, rest assured that you can still add Ice Cream Swirl to your collection right now.
