Stamping Basics – Markers vs Stampin’ Blends

What is the difference between Stampin’ Write Markers and Stampin’ Blends?  Today’s Stamping Basics – Markers vs Stampin’ Blends video will show you the difference in the looks you get, the different ink pads you must use along with a fun finished project!

This is part of a video series that is all about the BASICS.  Whether you are new to stamping/paper crafting, or just struggle with some of the basics, these videos are for you.  I am hoping that these weekly videos will help you learn how easy it can be to make special cards for special people!  If you have a special request for a “basics” video, please leave a comment–I want to teach you want you need to learn about!
