[@KelliMontoto]

Loved the video. I’ve been wondering how to use different tools. Happiness is learning something new everyday.

[@exploreyourweb]

G8 video. It wasnt too long. It was straight to the point with lots of way to do differently Thank you xxxxxxx

[@janicedusette4041]

I'm learning so much from your informative videos. Will be ordering some new tools to use with my existing scrapbooking products. Thanks again!

[@bbuunnyycc]

What a timely and educational video. I’ve been going back and forth over purchasing the Scrapbook.com domed ink blending tools. After watching you demonstrate them, I went over and clicked buy immediately. Now I can’t wait to try them. Thanks for sharing.

[@sarajean671]

Really appreciated your impartial review. It's good to know the tools that are out there and the different things they can do.

[@hollyjackson6473]

Amy! Thanks for sharing! Good to see you here! I miss you at Scrapbook Expo!!

[@wordscrafter]

Wow, that brick turned out fantastic!

[@sondramoorman5600]

Loved every technique you showed. I just ordered the domes. I have everything else and I found practice practice practice. I just made it fun and ended up making some lovely things that was practice sheets. Thank you for reminding me to get things out and use!

[@slyseyes]

Wow, the brick turned out great! And, that domed foam piece makes all the difference in how that tool works.

[@lindawatson9002]

Loved this video on blending tools! Thank you.

[@scrapbook]

You are so welcome, Linda!

[@patti-annelangley3799]

Thank you for sharing this information with us. It was great to see all this explained in the one spot, I find it annoying when I need to go to different sites to learn about products that essentially do the same thing.

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

Wonderful information on blending tools of all shapes & sizes; so grateful you shared this! Blessings & hugs!!!

[@margaretcolvin760]

Thank you for such an informative, balanced review. So helpful.

[@RijackiTorment]

Every tool has a different use. You can hammer a nail in with a screwdriver, but it works better with a hammer. Same for blending tools. I would like to try the new domed sponges. They look like a great addition to the tool box.

[@hazelfarris206]

Bricks color combos turned out nice

[@summer5851]

This is a great vid. I forget to use my long bristle brushes in a vase in the craft cabinet. I loved the brick colors. Made a note of colors you used. Love Moroccan stencil too, using smaller blending brushes. all n all this is GREAT vid. Tfs!

[@janetgarrard9927]

I have looked at the brush you used on the brick, now I know I will get it

[@ElaineBullock-uk9jo]

Very helpful. Thank you! ❤

[@MrNancykempf]

I love your videos,I always learn something from them.Thank you.

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

Great review. I would have liked to know if you saw a difference between the Stamp Market brushes and the Picket Fence brushes. There is a major difference in cost. I am for sure adding the domed blending sponges to my want list. Such a simple yet great idea. Thank you for the review.

[@Scrappinology]

Thank you for this informative video and for featuring "other" companies besides SB.com......it is interesting to know that these tools all have different purposes. gina

[@deborahbuonomo296]

Very informative video. I love the different backgrounds you created! 💜

As a newbie I found this very, very helpful.

[@functionoflightone]

Hi, Mel. Welcome to a great hobby. May I pass along a little helpful hint that I wish someone had given me when I started? If you have all the money in the world, you're set. But if you're on a bit of a budget, you can get cheaper versions of sooo many tools. There are lots of ways to save money and still have all the toys you want. For instance... these lovely stencil brushes. They work really well, but most of them are kind of pricey. I mean no disrespect to Scrapbook.com, but I went to my dollar store, got makeup brushes and they work just as well. Instead of $25, I paid $1. Just keep that in mind while you're building your stash. Hope you have lots of fun.

[@mellightbody8212]

FunctionofLight One , thank you. I have bought some cheaper stuff I just don’t know yet what I should spend the real money on and what I can get away with using less expensive items.

[@functionoflightone]

@@mellightbody8212 I'll share a little more and then I'll stop before I start sounding like a creepy stalker or something.(grin) Another "wish I'd known". 1) Unless it's something you're dying for it, don't pay full retail. Almost everything will go on sale. 2) If it's your first time using it, don't buy it in every color. Give yourself a chance to see if you like it first. 3) Discover how YOU work and what YOUR style is before you make big investments. You may find that the big, new thing that everyone is buying doesn't fit you at all. 4) Consider joining a craft list online... they are great sources of information for where to buy good things at the best price, etc. That's it. Again, I wish you a jolly good time playing in the ink and paper and making a grand mess!!!

What a great video! I have Tim's blending tools, the Picket Fence brushes, daubers (small & large) and truly enjoyed the demo along with explanation & info you provided, very helpful - thank you! And I have to say, I loved both of the Scrapbook.com tools ...I'm heading over to your website! Again, excellent video! ~Regards, Silvana

[@marthinarauhut1876]

I'm just starting with this and found it very informative, thank you.

[@functionoflightone]

Hi, Marthina. Welcome to a great hobby. One little tip i got from seasoned crafters...use a piece of scrap paper (rather than putting your fingers directly on the paper you're inking) to hold down the paper you're inking. This will keep your fingers clean and keep fingerprints off your project.

[@RosyJalifi]

Very informative thank you for sharing

[@maureenlee6526]

Great video! I was inspired today to order the tapered brushes (on sale, no less!) and got out my stencils for some blending. Thank you!

[@NiteOwlCrafter]

I really have enjoyed this video. In fact, I have watched it about three times. I am trying to figure out why your domed blending pads wear out so fast. I do a lot of edge-work and I know that will wear them down faster than if I am using them as a blending tool. But they wear out 2x's faster than even the generic flat ones. Any advice would be appreciated. I love them for blending and making backgrounds they are a really great product.

[@redgeminiarts3674]

Thank you for sharing.

[@kimberlyhughes1646]

Mine goes goes patchy and I only just bought the ink pad so is it the pad or the way I’m doing it?🤔

[@elsieblakley2381]

[@justjudycrafting7401]

I saw a couple of things I must order.

[@ljc.youtube]

I would like to try the scrapbook.com foam blenders, how do they stand up to wear and tear? I have used similar "foam" in the past, and it starts to pill up and disintegrate over a short time of use, and I ended up going through a lot of foam blenders for that particular brand. thank you

[@Fit_Kitty]

Great video, thank you! I appreciate the comparison of all of these amazing tools! I haven't tried the new Scrapbook.com blending tool so I have a question... will the replacement foams fit the Tim Holz mini ink blender or are they a different size?

[@lizziedae91]

Fit Kitty their video introducing the new foam said they fit

[@Fit_Kitty]

@@lizziedae91 Thank you!!

[@lizziedae91]

Im pretty sure nuvo ones are same size so I think eventually i might get the nuvo handles and the scrapbook.com domed foam for them

The long bristle brush us fantastic. You don't think you need it, then one day you pick it up, use it, and WOW. The "Life Changing" brushes from picket fence are the EXACT same thing as $6 brush set from Amazon. Seriously. No joke. I have both and I'm a bit disgusted at what I paid for the picket fence ones. The mermaid ink is soooooo pretty! The Scrapbook dot com inks are GOOD.

[@silvanam9229]

I bought the picket fence brushes too & feel the same way - I came across a video where the girl demo'd the picket fence & the $6 set from Amazon and I was not happy with what I saw......I feel disgusted by the amount of $$ they cost...it's ridiculous!

[@mpbailey18]

There was NO way I'd pay that exorbitant price Picket Fence is charging for the similar brushes costing under $15 on Amazon. These things all are made in China....and from what many, many people have said, the "makeup brushes are SO similar in every way! I bought a set for under $12 and am very impressed with them.

[@silvanam9229]

@@mpbailey18 I know! Trust me when I say that I was really disgusted....never, ever again!

[@traceybartlam5940]

Julie Army Mom yep! It gets me so angry at the price. They are the same brushes and the reason they are in many sizes is that they are make up brushes that have been re-marketed as craft brushes at a ridiculous price. I’d bet they’re made in the same factory, just put in a different box 😡 people can save a fortune and get the make up ones.

[@pennymccoy1241]

Use the glass mat then no harsh lines
