Happy Friday, friends! Today is an exciting day—not only are we wrapping up a week of inspiration filled with LOVE from our Valentine’s Week event, but we are also sharing something fun and new from our friends at Scrapbook.com that could cause you to master a favourite technique: ink blending! Don’t miss how Scrapbook.com is sharing the love with us at the end of the post with a gift card giveaway to their store, too!

Scrapbook.com has once again revolutionized ink blending! Introducing the Scrapbook.com Wide Blender Tool! This brand new tool features an ergonomic handle and felt pad which makes it so easy to blend ink into beautiful rainbows, stripes, and more! It works well with alcohol inks and Yupo paper, but can be used with regular inks, paints, Pops of Color, and other mediums on cardstock and other papers!
If you want an easy inked background, take the colors of alcohol inks you would like to use and apply them to different sections of the felt. Then, place the tool on your paper and glide it across your project! It’s a super-simple way to quickly create a colorful and unique background! See how easily you can use this new tool in the video below:
Feel like changing up your rainbow? The felt pad can be washed with a little bit of dish soap or remove the felt pad and replace it with a new one! You’ll notice when you remove the felt pad that the Wide Blender Tool also doubles as a craft scraper, making this tool even more versatile and necessary for your craft stash!
Using the Wide Blender Tool, Traci applied Deco Foil Transfer Gel over the Prancing Reindeer Stencil to add some dimension to her pretty and pink Christmas card!
Lauren Taylor created a gorgeous green background with one swipe of the Wide Blender Tool!
The Scrapbook.com Pops of Color are the perfect companion to the Wide Blender Tool to create colorful glossy, glittery, or pearl backgrounds! Place Pops of Color on your stencil and once again glide your Wide Blender Tool across for a fun, stenciled background with dimension!We know that you’ve been celebrating love all week here on the SCT Magazine blog, and we want to share the love with one of you with a $25 gift card giveaway!
