Clean and Simple Storybook Garden Pull Up Card: Blender Pen Tip!

Today’s card share is a special one—designed by my daughter, Sofie!
She’s used the charming Storybook Garden bundle, paired with Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen.

All week I’ve been sharing tips on how to use the Blender Pen, and today we’re highlighting how beautifully it works with Watercolor Pencils. It’s an easy way to add soft, blended color with precision—perfect for delicate stamped images like these.

I stamped the outlines using Staz-On ink, then added color with the Cajun Craze Watercolor Pencil. To bring it all to life, I simply went over the pencil lines with a Blender Pen—instantly giving that soft, watercolored look… without needing any water!

It’s such a quick and easy technique—and perfect when you want beautiful results with minimal fuss.

And for a bit of extra fun, we added an interactive element! We made a small slit in the flower pot so the carrot can slide in and out like a pull-up tag. Such a playful touch—and the sentiment fits perfectly with these charming garden images!

This project is perfect for a gardener friend.
