Thanks for sharing!!

[@tinawakefield9477]

I love colouring with water pencils,I feel in more control of my colouring. I would sooner spend my money on the best pencils that alcohol markers. And pencils don’t dry up!,🌺

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

It's nice we have a variety---something for everyone!

Thanks for sharing. Very helpful. I haven’t done this but plan to in the future.

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

Glad it was helpful!

[@phyllismonroe8603]

Thanks for this video. It clarifies coloring for me. I never liked coloring with markers because it always showa lines that never go away. However, when I used the Stampn blends, I had a hard time staying in the lines. I definitely need to practice more with them. I never knew you could use a blender pen with watercolor pencils. I used to color with coloring pencis all of the time. But didn't have success with the watercolor ones. Thanks to your video, I now have another great way to color and look forward to using this combo on paper that can tolerate water. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you ever so much!

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

I'm so happy to hear you picked up a new tip!

[@hollylowery26]

Wow, so many things to think about. 🤔 Thank you for all of this information Jackie. Beautiful cards!

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

You are so welcome!

[@stephanieloughead4479]

Thank you for a very informative video. Lots of great tips

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

Glad it was helpful!

[@judyestrada1446]

Jackie - thanks for the tutorial on coloring and details on the papers , coloring types, etc. it is all very informative. I need to expend on coloring. I have used the Stampin write markers on rubber stamps before stamping on card stock. That works great especially if you need to add a second small amount in a different color. I plan to try more coloring techniques when life gets a bit more normal for us . Thank you for sharing these videos. During these times especially when sheltering in place for months it is nice to be able to have a get away with a video and learn how to things . Thank you so very much for sharing this information with everyone . 👏👏👏💞

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

I'm glad you have this hobby as a 'get away' and something constructive to do.

[@judyestrada1446]

@@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis - Thanks Jackie ❣️ Me too and I have made several Thank you Cards for Medical Staff. 💞🙏💞

[@phyllisblakeslee6062]

This was very informative. I learned some new things.

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

Yay!! That's great to hear!

[@joellaanderson2921]

I love blends. I try to buy a few colors with each order so eventually I’ll have them all ♥️

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

Great idea!

[@lynnpinkstaff2261]

I like the water coir pencils with the blender pen. I have been getting the stampin' blends, I like them as well

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

That's great to hear and it's nice that we have options for different techniques and looks!

[@marlenen2835]

All great tips on which ink works best. Will try my watercolor pencils, haven’t used them yet. Thank you.

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

I hope that you'll try those pencils soon!

[@colleendaley2377]

Thanks for the informative tips. I love blends but also like the water color pencils. Rarely use the ink on block w water painter. You always have such great easy to follow tips, suggestions and recommendations! Also love those cards!

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

Have a stamp happy day!

[@DesignsbyShell]

Great job! I forgot you could color right on the stamp with the blending pens! 😊

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

No, you can NOT color with Stampin' Blends on the stamps...only use Stampin' Write Markers for that.

[@marymccloskey3025]

Thank you so much for the information. I'm new to card making:)

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

You're very welcome, glad you found it helpful!

[@butchkayeisenhart6795]

Awesome

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

Thanks for watching!

[@janeen6274]

Thank you for sharing. What tool/technique would you use with the soft pastels assortment chalks?

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

Honestly, I have not used the pastels so I can't really say what is best. I have them, so hopefully someday I will break them out.

[@judywrolson9362]

Great info!!

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

Thanks!

[@kirriesummers5219]

I still use the stamp and writes. I like to match my personal message inside to the stamped images on the front of the card. I also use them on the envelope.

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

That's great to hear!

[@kirene5631]

Thanks for this now I just have to get better at coloring!

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

You can do it!

[@monamcrae6602]

Thanks for the great video Jackie! I totally agree that the Blends are the way to go. Thank goodness I don’t have many of the original markers but was wondering if they really have a purpose anymore?

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

They absolutely do! You can color your stamps with the markers (you can't with the blends) you can write with them....they both have different purposes & uses!

[@ala2721]

JACKIE , YOUR GOOD WITH THE TIPS FOR COLORING THE FLOWERS . I HAVE A QUESTION ARE ALL ALCHOL MARKERS THE SAME ?

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

I'm so glad that you like these tips. I have only personally used the Stampin' Blends I find them to be high quality, long-lasting, and of great value compared to what I've heard about some other brands.

[@kraftymomma1979]

Could you do an extended video with watercolor pencils? I love them but find it hard to find detailed videos on watercolor pencils. Thanks!

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

Great suggestion, thanks!

[@MutantScrapbooker]

Thanks for the video! I prefer to color with the bender pen. Otherwise I use the Copic markers, I have too many to start changing over to the Stampin Up blends. Maybe one day though ☺️.

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

Glad you liked the video!

[@crs949]

LOVE all your information. However not able to see bleeding or marker lines because the picture was not close enough. I did take notes to remember when I experiment. Thanks Jackie.kathy

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

Thanks for watching!

[@MamawCindy]

Nice video with great tips. I have never tried pencils. Is the staz On hard to get off your stamps?

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

If you use StazOn cleaner the ink is not hard to get off the stamps. StazOn ink will stain your stamps though (which is normal)

[@tsnelson4236]

There are so many ways to shade and fade into different colors with the pencils. You should play more, you might learn to like them. Without much effort you can look like a skilled water color artist

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

Thanks for watching!

[@sharonlbrown6756]

Thanks Jackie. I just purchased the Stazon ink but don't have the cleaner. How am I to clean my stamps safely? Or just wait until I can get the cleaner. It wasn't available when I ordered the ink.

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

StazOn inks will stain your stamps so be aware of that...you can clean them when you get the cleaner but it may not get off as much of the ink as if you used the cleaner right away. You could try your local craft store to see if the StazOn cleaner is in stock there.

[@crchekouras]

I still have SU Watercolor Wonder Crayons to use.

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

Awesome!

[@bhall7180]

What happens if you use versamark and heat embossing? Does that help with the markers and the water color pencils bleeding?

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

Yes, because it gives you a little "ridge" to color with in.

[@junestengel18]

If the Stampin Writers are water based, would blending with a brush with water or the water pen give better results? Thank you!

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

Once you color on card stock with them, they really won’t “blend” with water. Maybe a little, depending on the color, but for the most part no because they dry quickly. But give it a try and play around and see what kind of results you get!

[@kraftimommy]

Do you need to use watercolor paper?

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

I shared 4 different ways of coloring in this video so I'm not sure which method you are referring to. When using water (water painting) you'll want to use watercolor paper or shimmery white. It depends on how much water you are using too. If it's a lot of water you need use watercolor paper if it's not much you can use watercolor paper or shimmery white. Stampin' Blends work best on our thick whisper white since they can bleed through but they work well on regular card stock too--just protect the surface you are working on. Hope this answers your question.

[@kraftimommy]

Thankyou. I asked too soon before I saw the whole video 😀. Thanks for all the info. I enjoy watching your videos. Great tips

[@peggybuse2685]

Does anyone use chalks anymore.?

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

Yes!

[@susanemmons8263]

What about how to clean the water brush. I wondered if the pink color it picked up would bleed onto the next image in another color.?

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

You just rub it off on a paper towel or something before moving on to another color.

[@terrischroder5556]

The Memento ink bleeds when water coloring because it's a water based ink. That's why it's recommended for use with Stampin' Blends, which are alcohol based. Because the Stamp in' pads are all water based also, you can use any of those colors to stamp your images to color with the Stamping' Blends.

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

Thanks....I just had never really tried it until recently.
