Tool Time Tuesday – Blender Pen
It’s Tuesday so it’s time for another installment of Tool Time and this week we’ll be talking about the blender pen! 
Blender pens are dual-tipped, filled with a specialized solution to blend ink easily and come in a pack of three. It’s best to use them with Watercolor Paper or Shimmery White Cardstock. Regular Whisper White paper will pill.
I like using the blender pens with our Watercolor Pencils. After coloring an image with the pencils, going over it with a blender pen evens out the color. It really does make a difference! The tip cleans off easily with several strokes on scrap paper (I do it on my grid paper). Keep doing this until the ink is no longer coming off onto the grid paper.
You’ll find that sometimes you don’t want to use everything included on a stamp. For instance, on the stamp below, it says, “You make me smile.” If I’m using this as a sentiment on the front of my card, I prefer that the period not be there.
After stamping the sentiment in Memento Ink, just take your blender pen and “erase” the period away (see the after below). All the ink is transferred to the blender pen and no longer on your stamp! Sometimes it’s necessary to huff on the ink before stamping to reactivate the ink in case it started to dry out while you were “erasing.”
Once you add a blender pen to your stash of crafting supplies, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it!

My Story
I joined Stampin’ Up! in 2009. I had placed several orders, loved everything I received and wanted more, so I joined purely for the discount. I was teaching elementary school at the time and because I loved the cards and projects I was making, I started a club with two other teachers and a parent of one of my former students. Other teachers heard about the fun we were having and our group kept growing and growing. I wanted to share what I was creating and that was how this “I’m just joining for the discount” person, began to branch out. But that’s the wonderful thing about joining Stampin’ Up! You can purchase the Starter Kit and be your very best customer, just as I did for several years, or you can share the love of stamping and paper crafting with your friends and family.
If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me! I had tons of questions before I joined. I’m happy answer any questions you might have. I’d love to have you join my team! I’ll be here to support you in any way I can!
Layered Leaves September Paper Pumpkin
Everyone who ordered the September Paper Pumpkin should have received their box of goodies! How cute are these Fall pillow boxes? If you’ve wondered what’s inside a Paper Pumpkin box, take a look at the video below!
If you’re reading this in an email, click here to watch the video.
For the first time ever, the October and November Paper Pumpkin kits will be coordinating and holiday-themed. Two straight months of coordinated Christmas card making and gifting projects.
Who is Paper Pumpkin for?
- Someone who doesn’t have time to craft regularly but still loves to make cards and gifts. Everything you’ll need is included in the box (you’ll need a clear block but you’ll receive one in your first kit)!
- Someone who just wants something quick and easy and doesn’t have time to shop for all of the supplies. It’s all in the box!
- Someone who likes a surprise each month (I don’t even know ahead of time what’s inside the boxes)!
- Someone who wants to slowly add to their crafting supplies. Each month you’ll receive a stamp set and at least one Stampin’ Spot ( a small stamp pad).
If you try Paper Pumpkin for a month and decide not to continue, just cancel before the 10th of the month. No hassles, no questions!
If you’d like to receive a Paper Pumpkin box delivered to your mailbox by this time next month, be sure to sign up by October 10th or click here to sign up today! If you have questions, email me and I’ll be happy to help!

Pumpkin Goodness
It’s officially fall and I gotta tell you, I’m really looking forward to sweater weather and today’s card really gives me the feeling that fall is here! The inspiration for my card came from fellow demo, Lisa Pretto. When I saw her card, I fell in love with the simplicity and beauty of it. I made one small change to my card but I have to credit Lisa for the design.
As you can see, it’s a pretty straightforward card but guess what? I didn’t stamp the pumpkins but instead cut them out of one of the sheets of paper in the Painted Autumn DSP. Because of their size, they are very easy to cut out. 
Card Details
- The base of the card is Thick Whisper White cut at 11″ x 4-1/4″ and scored at 5-1/2″.
- The top layer is a 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of Whisper White. It’s been embossed with the Layered Leaves Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder
- The sentiment is stamped in Soft Sky and comes from the stamp set Gourd Goodness. It was cut out with a 2″ Circle Punch.
- The pumpkins were cut from one of the sheets in the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper pack using Paper Snips.
- Before attaching the top layer to the card front, Linen Thread was wrapped around the embossed layer several times and tied in a bow. It was attached to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
