Paper Ink Magic & More: Ink Blending, Color Play & Creative Techniques

Today’s class is all about Paper, Ink, Magic & More — a practical ink‑blending session designed for both beginners and experienced cardmakers. In the video, I walk through the three essentials of smooth blending: paper, ink, and tools, and show how each one affects your results.

You’ll see how Stampin’ Up! Basic White Cardstock handles color, why water‑based Classic Ink Pads blend so well, and how different tools — from blending brushes to daubers — create unique textures and transitions. We also cover simple ROYGBIV color theory to help you blend colors without creating muddy areas.

To wrap up the class, I create an ink‑blended pumpkin card using layered stencils and pre‑cut pieces, making the process approachable and stash‑friendly.
