The BEST New Ink Blending Tool? | Paper Pouncers from Picket Fence!

[@alisonclifton7251]

What a gorgeous card! Opens up so many possibilities to fall in love with my layering dies again if I don't have to cut each little fiddly bit out of different coloured paper. Much less waste! Thank you for sharing. Looks like a fabulous product and I love the way it seems to work with stencils with jagged edges.

Those are very similar to Magic Mushrooms sold Local King Rubber Stamps. Thanks for sharing!

[@elizabeth3230]

They are also sold on Amazon as mushroom blending sponge. I have noticed that almost every ink blending brush/sponge is actually a makeup application tool.

[@moosedawg71]

@@elizabeth3230 That's exactly what I was thinking. While I like to support craft companies when I can, in today's economy, it's not cost effective when they're the same thing as something like that, a makeup sponge, which is a fraction of the cost.

[@jooc2751]

They're the exact same as Local King Rubber Stamp Magic Mushrooms. I have the magic mushrooms & they're great. I learnt a lot more ways to use them as well from Local King's tutorials.

The Picket Fence Studios Paper Pouncers look like the Local King Rubber Stamp Magic Mushrooms that came out in 2019.

Love these paper pouncers.

What a beautiful card. I love the houses. I’m new to your channel and I’m really enjoying it.

[@suklinkner8684]

Adorable card

[@Kittenmoose]

Brilliant video, Marie! I love those sweet little houses!

[@elizabethshakespeare5347]

I buy similar (no outer case) to these from my £ store about 4 yrs ago, I have 20, they are make up sponges but work great for blending.

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

So cool! I hadn't seen these yet. Thanks for showing us.

[@jennygiallanza4524]

I was going to say the same thing. Considering that both Local King Rubber and Picket Fence used to do trade shows at the same time, I’m pretty sure PF saw these and decided to copy or “come up with their version”

@@jennygiallanza4524 oh my!

[@DeborahAdamsCreativeLife]

I haven’t tried the paper pointers but I totally want them. And your houses turned out so cute. Love it. ❤❤ tfs

[@desertdweller1655]

Wonder where to find the grass stencil. I did not find it in your products list.

[@suklinkner8684]

Great video.

[@deborahanne9793]

Interesting. Are they like large finger sponge daubers?

[@MarieNicoleDesigns]

They are like a makeup blending sponge

[@sharonmoyer2536]

Where did you get the grass stencil?

[@mawmawvee]

I'm wondering if these Pouncers would be good for applying face make-up? :D

[@MarieNicoleDesigns]

They might be! The sponges feel very similar to makeup sponges.

[@melw7838]

Did you have issues between oxides and dyes on your tool? I keep my tools separate for those

[@MarieNicoleDesigns]

I haven't noticed issues yet, but it may be a good idea to keep them separate just to be sure

[@moosedawg71]

While these look very cool, how are they that much different than using a domed foam blender, foam dauber, or even a teardrop makeup sponge and just pouncing? I mean, neat idea, but are they really that different or better?

[@MarieNicoleDesigns]

I guess if you already have those other tools you may prefer to stick with them. I've never used anything other than a traditional ink blending tool, where you have to blend in the circular motion. These are so easy to use compared to those, and they do not tear little die cuts because you dab instead of blend. It depends on what you're looking for I suppose.

[@caszscountrycrafts3258]

Have you washed them at all, if yes did they wash easily?

[@deborahanne9793]

P.S.S. Are your ink pads really juicy so the ink is transferring very easily?

[@MarieNicoleDesigns]

Some of my ink pads are fairly new and some I've had for a few years. Didn't seem to nice a difference

[@deborahanne9793]

Thank you.

[@deborahanne9793]

P.S. Is it hard to get top off?

[@MarieNicoleDesigns]

I didn't have much trouble!

[@sharonwright2273]

Picket Fence STOLE this idea from another small company, Local King Rubber Stamps, who made them over 3 years ago. Shame on them. And then Picket Fence canceled their affiliate link with someone who dared to speak the truth? Karma.......
