Let me show you the best blending brushes for exciting card making and paper crafts that may change your views. You won’t believe your results! This was my first time using the Blending Brushes and I am hooked.
You will love the 3 hidden gems in the mini catalog that I am going to use today and I am guessing you might have overlooked them.
Designer Series Paper Blog Hop
It’s BLOG HOP time! This month we are focusing on using the True Love Designer Series Paper and sharing some amazing projects with it. After you check out my projects, make sure to “hop” around the world and see what my stamping friends have made for you.
The Best Blending Brushes | Video Tutorial
Check out my tips for getting started with the best Blending Brushes. And, these images are not stamped–they are cut from some gorgeous Designer Series Paper you may have missed in the mini catalog. Have fun with these coloring techniques no matter what paper or stamps you choose!
Check out some of my other videos for coloring techniques too.
There are all sorts of fun coloring techniques you can use. If you don’t have the blending brushes you could use sponges or brayers to apply coloring techniques as I did in this older post.

Let be these cards!! I already have the supplies and can’t wait to go make these beautiful cards! Thanks for the great tips on the blending brushes. I used mine the other night and didn’t know the start off the paper first.
I hope the tips in this video help you for the next time. So happy to hear you made some cards! Enjoy!!
Hi Jackie, You are so right!! I looked at that page and thought of Valentine’s Day and since I’m not a real heart person, I skipped on by. What you have done here has made me go back and look at my catalog differently. Between you and Brandy seems like a gold mine. Thanks for the help. See you on the Creative Retreat.
I’m glad this gave you ideas for thinking outside of the box! Yes, I’m looking forward to the retreat. We always have a great time!
Aren’t you clever coloring the B/W flowers on that paper. I never would have thought to do that – but I guess that is why we wait every week for all your clever tips.
Yes, give it a try–super fun and easy!
That you for pointing out this paper and the card you made. I have to make card kits for campers this summer. This will make a great kit!
That sounds like so much fun Carol; enjoy!
I am one who skipped over the paper set as well, because I son’s do much with hearts. I love these cards and will be getting this paper and stamp set and the brushes. Well done!!!
Enjoy your time stamping Kathy!
Are they available now?
Are you referring to the brushes? If so, they are currently back ordered (as of 3/19) but hopefully will come in around April 1st so mark your calendar and try to order them then.
Such pretty cards Jackie. I’m so going to have a go at these.
I love hearing that Sara!
Love those brushes! Great card
Thanks so much!
Hi Jackie. I so love your card. I CASEd it after watching your video today, using some retired black and white DSP i’ve been looking to find a use for. Wish i could upload it for you to see. You inspired me…thank you so much 🙂
