A seven-minute video on how to make your own blending solution that doesn't include anything about making your own blending solution. It describes in excruciating detail how to use 70% rubbing alcohol from a dropper bottle to thin inks in a sponge. Indeed, either Isopropyl and Ethyl alcohols will blend two or more alcohol inks together, one solution for blending two or more inks I suppose, but that does not make them 'blending solutions', nor does it fulfill the purpose of a blending solution. Now that I've read some comments and see I am not the first person to make these points, may I suggest something? Generously, you might call this a thinner used to assist in blending. Or rather just call it what it is, a technique to blend alcohol inks, no one can argue with that. Not even us Internet trolls can argue this is a blending technique, and if it had been titled as such you would have gotten no criticism and you would have not wasted our time expecting a recipe for a blending solution. The Internet is full of hungry critics, it's best not to feed them!

Thanks for your video,I've not used my perfect pearls yet but your tips are most helpful!

Hello why didn’t you show everyone while you talk about what you can do why didn’t you just spritz the Matt and rub a card or piece of paper to show everyone what it looks like I thought by you not doing that I was kind of silly but it’s your video.🌻

Thank u

AWESOME TUTORIAL!

Thank you so much…I always have spent so much time lining up layers . You have given me 😊tips to reduce my stress

How much does it retail for?

Did you ever video a how to segment when your sister came to visit? This is very interesting, I'm thinking maybe of using it to display family history. Please post the link to your sister's how to. Tell her it's magnificent!

Found u again, After many years.🎉

Omg shut up

Brilliant! Thanx for sharing

Hi Linda.When I tried this, the letters transferred to a pale yellow. The printer was set to high quality, plain paper. Do you have any suggestions on what I’m doing wrong.Thanks in advance

Great gift bag…. I’d love to make one in fabric

hi, does this machine come in the 12", thankyou

Very helpful thank you!

Will the cuttlebug cut through felt ?

Works great with the Sizzix Sticky Grid Sheets also. Great tip. Thanks.

I bought these tools a decade ago but somehow they got relegated to an unused drawer. Recently I found them and tried to use them again but was completely flummoxed by the lip not catching. Duh, should have thought to raise the paper. But I never would have come to that conclusion had you not mentioned it in your video. Thanks for reuniting me with these handy tools!❤

Great video. I've used Perfect Pearls in the long ago past and forgot how to use them. Now I've learned more techniques, thanks to your video. Tfs.

Great idea thank you for sharing

Hi could I use the distress ink pads please? I have those but not the reinkers . Thanks

I am totally new to this. I ried the water method and couldn't make that work. I had a lot of transparencies. So I thought I would try this. It printed mirror image. Don't know what I did wrong?? I have a hp officejet inkjet printer.

Love the video! I have to try the belly band! G45 just has the best papers.

Oh my gosh Linda, welcome back. I have missed your presence. Congrats on your travels and your awesome G45 find. Looking forward to see what you create.

Nice to hear your voice again! What an amazing project. I love Graphic 45, too.

Lovely album!

Yay!

where do you get these patinas? 2/16/23

Yo! Did this craft take off or did it die? Im trying to find the Patina paint and its impossible to get the color i want, which is the green spectrum. But do you know a source not effected by the 10 year passing.

So glad to hear that "you are back". Looking forward to some wonderful tutorials!

Can’t wait to see what you create!

Just saw this do you just do tutorials or do you also have a shop? I live in Oregon!

Stunning ❤

Oh my goodness Linda this was an amazing tutorial. I buy lots of prints and commissions at artist alleys/conventions and store them in art binders with page protectors...some of them are oddly shaped so they're kept in a separate envelope. I've been itching to cut my own page protectors for them but didn't know how to go about it - your video has helped me immensely. Thank you so much for the help, I hope you're well. :) <3

Linda, you are a great instructor! I had MAJOR issues with the design of this card!!!! The front fold is flimsy, takes away from making a stable, easy to open card. Glad i was not the only one. Very disappointed!!!!!!

So there’s no making of blend solution, it’s just ethanol.

Thank you for this very helpful video.

Thank you so much for showing me the way to get my layers straight. I love the first way the best. ❣️

Can't wait to try a wobble card! Great tutorial, thank you!

Wow, thank you so much, what a very informative video, I can now see what I need to do to fix the cut marks, thank you ❤

1. can we make the score line on normal version of software (non paid) 2. how to make this score line 3. and can we make cut and score with single rotary cutting blade ?

I know this was done many years ago but it is exactly what I needed. Now I have a journal that I picked up in clearance full of page protectors that fit. I can now file all my duplicate cut outs and have them in one convenient spot. Thank you so much for this helpful video.

I feel like this is a dumb question but how do you select the lines to score? I'm clinking on the lines and it does nothing.. 😖

The site for the template no longer exists :(

THANK YOU!!! I always have a problem lining up the layers!!

Thank you Linda, where did you find your trimmer at? I may have missed it, so I thought I would check. This is a super video!!!
