Distress Paint Techniques with Colors from the Vault!

Have you seen that Ranger Ink has opened the vault and re-released some colors of Distress Paint that were discontinued?

Today I am sharing ways to organize, label, swatch and USE Distress Paints in cardmaking.

I recently watched Tim Holtz's live on these re-released colors and he shared a bunch of fun techniques that I wanted to try with my favorite colors!

So today I created a bunch of card backgrounds with different techniques using the ability to react the Distress Paint with water while it is wet and use it as a permanent color when dry.

I also added a few of my own ideas like adding Lunar Paste!

And of course I share some ways to turn those backgrounds into cards!

So check out today's video to see a bunch of Distress Paint techniques and cards!

You can see the re-released paints and everything I used down below! Thanks for stopping by!

New Spellbinders Glimmer Sentiments Cardfront Collection

Today I am sharing a couple of cards made with the Glimmer Sentiments Cardfront Collection.

I love the Hello Blooms Stencil and Die Bundle. If you don't have a Glimmer machine (YET!) you can use the die and stencil alone. The dies even come with a hello die and shadow.

Or try stenciling over one of the Glimmer Cardfront Sentiments like Giant Thank You. These new dies and foil plates make it quick and easy to fill a gorgeous A2 cardfront! Check out my video to see these cards and supplies.

All of the supplies I used are linked below! Thanks for stopping by!

NEW Spellbinders Hexi Gems Collection

As someone who like geometric designs on cards, I was super excited about the new Spellbinders Hexigems collection!

I created these cards with the Spellbinders Kaleidoscope Hexi Gems die and the Hexigems Foil Plate.

Of course they can be used individuallu, but they work really well together too!

They create such stunning focal pieces that you don't really need to add too much to create a finished card!

Check out the video to see these new supplies and how I created these cards.

And you can see everything I worked with today down below! Thanks for stopping by!
