https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule
says:
"The order in which these rules are defined is important - this is the
order in which they will be applied at run-time."

Maybe you are missing processing flags, such as "L" or "END".

Flags are documented in more details here:
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/rewrite/flags.html


Note that you can turn on logging, see

I would start by defining exceptions first like Konstantino says, but I
would also try to avoid greedy expressions like (.*) which match absolutely
everything and tend to complicate things in the long run.

You can also try to use negative lookahead expressions which are used to
define exceptions like the ones you seem to describe, example:
/blog/(?!whatever_you_want_to_exclude)(.+) /resources/blog/$1 [L,R=301]
(not negative lookahead group is not captured therefore it generates no
variable value.

When dealing with regular expressions a site or somewhere where to test
them is ideal too, I fancy debuggex.com in PCRE mode for example.
