Yesterday, Stampin' UP! announced that they would no longer be selling Blendabilities. This is due to the manufacturer being unable to meet Stampin' UP!s high quality testing requirements prior to shipping. As a result, and to prevent further disappointment in the markers, they have been discontinued.
I was so hoping (as I am sure all of you were) that they would be able to fix the quality issues. I know that many of you have these markers, as I do. I will continue to use mine even though they are discontinued and I encourage you to use yours since you have invested in them as well. Chris Smith (my upline) has a post HERE sharing what she has done to her "dry" Blendabilities. I encourage you to check it out and see if this helps your markers down the road, if needed.
With that being said, I did make a few cards (before knowing this revelation) using the new SAB set called "For Being You". In a previous post HERE, I talked about how you don't have to use Memento black ink as your base every time you color. For example, for this first card, I stamped the "thanks" in Lost Lagoon ink, and colored it in using my Daffodil Delight Blendabilities.

For my second card, I stamped "thanks" in Coastal Cabana ink and colored it in with my Calypso Coral Blendabilities.
And for my third card, I did stamp the image with Memento Black ink, and colored it in using Pink Pirouette and the Blush color from the Skin Tone Assortment.
These are just a few simple and different ways I wanted to show you how to use your Blendabilities. So even though they have been discontinued- enjoy the one's you have. Perhaps, SU will surprise us and find a new quality alcohol marker for us to use in the future.
