Mini Ink Blending Tool and Stencils

[@41cattyk58]

I am a beginner with distressed. Many thanks for your tips. Your card are very lovely to see.

[@monkeyheadbonkers9303]

I learn so much from your videos!!!! When you put the letters on the painters tape, emboss them that way AND get them on your card perfectly straight!?!? Unbelievable. SO simple but so clever and 'life-changing' in the card- making world. THANK YOU!!!!

[@totallishec4428]

I think that the simplicity of these cards is what mostly makes them so beautiful! Thank you so much for the review and for sharing those tips. Very helpful and practical for beginners such as myself :)

[@dellarogers7075]

What a great card. Love that new mini blender tool. It is now a must have. The new embossing powder is a big WOW. Gotta have that too. Thanks for the great video.

[@barbieunger7836]

Love your videos, Jennifer. I ALWAYS learn something new and fun!

[@embroideredtruths]

Thank you for the tip on putting the little Memory Box dies on painter tape. I was having a heck of a time getting them to line up properly on the card.

[@kiwisunshine9631]

This was so helpful, Jennifer, thank you! I just bought a pack of the mini ink blending tools and this helped me feel more prepared to try them out. Also really love that new glittery black embossing powder!

[@kathleengoski5203]

I really like the new blending tool, I have bought other rounded sponge "daubers" and they get brittle over time. One of the tips I recently read about adding glue to small items was that if you find you need to re-glue a small piece on your project then use a scrap of torn paper to slip underneath with a bit of glue on it.

[@MsBuckygirl]

Love the stenciling. Wonderful video!

[@glennachong7300]

I love it :) Bright colors are the best ♥

[@susansarver9552]

ooh I love to have one, please Jennifer.

[@teresakannenberg1202]

I loved this card so much, I ordered the stencil and mini ink blending tool....received today!! Love love love it but one question...why isn't the stencil as tall as a standard csrd size??would make doing the whole card front so much easier!

[@RozWilloughby]

great tips...thank you Jennifer~!

[@angelinamacintosh5796]

Hi Jennifer. Just love your tutorials! Can I just ask, as a real beginner who had never stamped before. Are the distress mini ink sets where you get 4x in a pack ok to start with using the mini ink blending tool or are they way too small.

[@littlefriend70]

Love it! Which dye cutting machine do you like the best? I saw the newest by we are memory makers, have you used that one yet?

[@jennifermcguireink]

sheri chandler i use the big shot and the vagabond and love both.

[@deborahanne9793]

Hi Jennifer, Do you prefer the round mini blending tool or the rectangle blending tool, both the Tim Holtz ones. Thank you.

[@uranastanley1507]

Thanks for the tips

[@dreamyc1012]

Hi Jennifer! Totally off the chart but as for Pigment Inks, which would you recommend? Mama Elephant or Avery Elle? Many thanks for sharing!

[@dreamyc1012]

Many thanks for the reply Jennifer!

[@kimberlysiddons]

Do you have to use watercolor card stock or will regular work as well? I have the distress inks but not the card stock

[@Guikrazy]

I LOVE these cards! I am a newbie to card making/paper crafts. A few quick questions, if you have the time to answer: 1.) Can this be done with dye or pigment ink or does it have to be distress ink? 2.) Could I first put down texture paste first over the stencil and then color? 3.) Reversely, is there a way to put down texture paste over the white part? I guess I'm asking is there a way to make a reverse of the stencil?

[@jennifermcguireink]

+NYC Lee 1. any ink. 2. yes 3. not that i know of :)

[@Guikrazy]

+Jennifer McGuire Ink Thank you So Much for answering so quickly!! :D

[@abbigeorgia]

+NYC Lee In the past I have traced all the open space in a stencil with my Versamark pen, then white heat embossed it, then used an ink over the top so the embossing resists the ink, thus getting the colour where you would usually have clear space!

[@abbigeorgia]

+NYC Lee I hope that made sense!

[@Guikrazy]

Yes it did. Thank you SO MUCH for the instructions!! :D

[@collettegay1432]

What do you do with the extra mini blending tool sponges that comes with a package of 2 blending tools?

[@bethostrowski6089]

I love you ideas and instructions but I'm using the same stamps/techniques you are "wonderful in every way" and for some reason my smaller words are melting together...any suggestions would be great! Thank you :)

[@nicolescholet691]

Try using a fine or ultra-fine embossing powder for so it doesn't melt together, hopefully that helps :)

[@nexsilver]

I live in Belgium and I want the distressed inks too. Do you have any idea where I can buy these? Because I can't find them

[@britishcowgirl]

Katrien Basteyns .... You can find all you need on Amazon or EBay

[@AMaterialSpectrum]

Nice!

[@barblibrarian]

This is a very old video, but I am thinking this technique could be very cool with the new Distress Oxide inks. I am going to give it a try.

[@lilsuesueee]

Would this be possible by using distress oxide instead?

[@MaryJohansen]

Helpful!

[@carriesmola6222]

Question, why did you use glossy accents on the back of the letters instead of glue?

[@brittanyburris422]

Instead of a heat gun can you use a blow dryer?

[@harmoniumsangeetsanctuary]

great card but why gloosy ecssance intead of an adhesive.

[@julianaleo631]

Frog painters tape has a glue that is re-activated by moisture, so be sure you realize this in case you lay it down on paper, so you don't rip off the paper. Blue Tape is better in that regard.

[@marilynnellsworth4300]

I so want the new blending ink tools. Hugs

[@melreally]

pretty

[@brittanyburris422]

Ok thank you :)
