Each ink pad has a raised surface containing four shades of the same color flowing from a light shade to a vibrant dark color. Use them to create fabulous blends of color with a minimal amount of work.
IMPORTANT: For best results see each technique for best type of cardstock to use
(Non-coated: Regular cardstock OR Coated: GLOSSY or MATTE cardstock.)
GENERAL STAMPING
Any type of cardstock may be used.
-
Simply use the blending blox ink pads as you
would any other stamp pad.
-
Try stamping leaves, snowflakes, flowers, balloons, phrases, etc. for a beautiful look that produces a
very interesting array of blending color shades.
DIRECT TO PAPER TECHNIQUE
Use Coated Cardstock (GLOSSY or MATTE) for best results.

-
Stamp designs in black ink (or a color that will show up over the blending blox color used). Allow ink to dry for at least 5 minutes, or heat set with a heat tool.
-
After ink is dry, flip blending blox upside down and rub across the paper in one
direction. Repeat if color does not cover completely.
-
More than one blending blox may be used on the same project. You can use a mask to divide the colors for easy application. Let your project dry for at least 5 minutes or heat set with a heat tool.
-
Try using a dark or silhouette image to divide colors. See loon sample in top row.
RESIST TECHNIQUE
Use Coated Cardstock (GLOSSY or MATTE) for best results.
WATERCOLOR TECHNIQUE
Use Regular or Non-Coated Cardstock for this technique.
GLOSSY or MATTE is not recommended.
General Watercolor Technique
Ink desired design with blending blox. Stamp on standard (non-coated) cardstock. Use a blending pen or water brush to pull color from edges of stamped image to fill or "color" the open areas of the design.
See flower example to the left.
Painting or Applying Ink with a Blender Pen or Water Brush
Another watercolor technique is acquired by stamping the ink of the blending blox ink pad onto a piece of plastic or a cd cover. The ink will bead up on the surface. You will then be able to pick up the different colors or blended colors with a blending pen or waterbrush to apply the color to your project. Try embossing your image in gold or silver powder before adding color. See presents sample.
