It happend again. I was so sure I did not need them. Now, seeing it in action ... it feels like I have watched an ink revolution. Thanks so much for sharing! I have a bad day today, the excitement in your voice made me forgot about it for 34:06 minutes.
Yesterday I was sad because I had returned from an all day visit to the hospital for a bone scan. The infection that almost killed me twice last year is back. I quickly found a little joy when I picked up the mail and my Distress Oxide Inks finally came. I had been on a waiting list for a month. I also received a new stamp set from a subscription. It's strange what can bring you from absolute sadness to a feeling of tremendous joy. I hope God was telling me that I was going to be well enough to use my new inks and stamps. I don't know why I felt the need to tell you, but I just did. I also learned to transfer my Iphone pictures to my laptop. It doesn't take a lot to make me happy. Thanks for all you'e taught me!!! HUGS...JONIE ISENBERG
Wow! I think I can hear Tim Holtz squealing with glee because we definitely want his new inks now! You nailed it Jennifer! Thank you. What a great way to make a wonderful inky mess!
I don't think these Oxide Inks are really for me, but I still loved watching the video. You obviously had a lot of fun and your excitement really came through to us. The "confetti" and rainbow blended cards were my favourite! The inks do look like they blend beautifully. Thanks for sharing some of your passion with us!
What I really like is that Tim is helping the next generation, Simon Hurley, the ropes. Tim is the king of inks. Simon is working very hard to develop his line of inks. I’ve been buying a lot of simons inks to support him. He’s a very loyal influencer for me and I just love who that young man is becoming. He’s a good human being. He’s helping me become a member of the group of women who have known each other for years and support each other. Someone gave him a break and hasn’t forgotten to pay it forward. It’s very tough to break into the business and be accepted.
Oh Jennifer, I've watched Tim's video on Distress Oxides and he's not nearly as excited about his inks as you are! Yes, it's apparent he likes them a lot, but you are so much more exuberant about them. Please know that you are so very appreciated by all of us crafters!!! God Bless...
I was so sure I didnt like them. whatever Tim showed in demos at CHA did not impress me. Mostly because he showed what these do in mixed media..a medium he loves and I don't. But THIS.. you first had my attention, then made me a believer and now I tipped over the edge.. I will definitely be getting all ODI... thank you, thank you for showing so much possibilities with these.. and thank you for all you do. ❤❤
Jennifer, thank you so much for doing this video!! I know it takes a lot of time creating all of the cards and editing the video. Just want you to know it is very much appreciated!! I LOVE ALL of the backgrounds you created!!! All of your cards are stunning. I can't wait to get these inks and the reinkers. So many ideas floating around in my head lol. Can't wait to try out some techniques with the reinkers too. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos with these inks! TFS!! :)
I was with everyone else on the fence about these but Bam! You've picked the right colours, the right techniques, you create the things we love and they are Lila approved! I'm going to have to get some! Thanks for the fabulous video!
This is the best video out there on the distress oxides! Tim Holtz should hire you to sell his product. His video didn't convince me that I needed these, but your video did! Can't wait to for more technique videos. Thanks for sharing your talents.
I think this is my favorite Jennifer McGuire video EVER! I was introduced to a new product that I am now going to play with (the Distress Oxide Inks), but I was SO inspired by your MANY MANY different card techniques! I never thought of using scraps to make a woven piece as one of your cards does. Or to save the "good parts" of a failed experiment to die cut smaller pieces (the balloons). And the new stamp companies that I wasn't aware of. I never was interested in using window dies before (like the balloons). And best of all, the card with the negative die cuts ("Hello") really gave me a new way to highlight great background techniques without just using them as...well...BACKGROUNDS! Way to go Jennifer! You may have reignited my craft mojo in the dead of summer when it's more than 100 degrees in the southwest and I was planning on just hibernating until the cooler fall weather comes, as I generally do. Now I can't wait to dig into my craft supplies and see what I can create! Because your videos are always so excellent, I frequently take them for granted and don't comment and thank you. That is bad on me. But I am reminded today of what happiness and motivation can come in life when we are excited about the things that we love to do. You keep that level of joy flowing strong with your examples, inspiration, excellent teaching, and beautiful techniques! Thank you thank you! Please keep doing what you do! -- Susan Smith
Jennifer I just came across your video about Oxide Inks. I had every distress color ink pad some years ago and seriously got rid of them all. I just couldn’t seem to stop making mud! When I came across a video of these with Tim I thought HMMMMM. I have some in a cart as we speak and haven’t purchased them yet. I’m not a card maker, I like more of mixed media, altered art, scrapbooking. Your video has sold me! I believe I may be making cards and using these for journaling. Thank you so much! I love the techniques you taught here especially using the acrylic block. I will be coming back to reference this video soon!
I saw these and was wondering the differences... thanks so much for showcasing these inks and their differences, Jennifer! I think Lila and me agree on our favorite!! ♥
It looks like I'm exploring Distress Inks and Distress Oxide Inks at just the right times (unless I'm very late)! And I can use my Pearls! Oh, I AM a very happy Trisha from Facebook! That was about the shortest 34 minutes I ever spent. I have so many Tim Holtz products and they're all starting to come together. Color me happy!
As always, a fabulous demo of your artistic abilities and unbelievable new product from Tim Holtz and Ranger!!! Many new possibilities on the horizon.....lucky us!
OK I had dismissed these inks and convinced myself I didn't need them, but after watching your video, well... shut up and take my money! :-) Now I want them
Auntie Triza Me too. I just bought a heap of distress mini pads. I haven't found them in any Australian craft supplier. I guess I'll have to get them from the US. It's the postage costs that get me.
You could try craftonline.com.au or annascraftcupboard.com.au or scrapbooksuppliesonline.com.au or scrapbookboutique.com.au or scrapdragon.com.au or papertrenz.com.au I have purchased from all of these before and they get a great supply in regularly :)
Auntie Triza I've tried craftline.com. I buy a lot of things from them, but no distress oxide as yet. I've uaed a couple of sites you mentioned, but haven't checked if they carry the oxide inks. I'll have to check out the others. Thanks for the reminder on the other online suppliers. I have taken to using craft online as they have a huge range and they're pretty quick to get your order out.
You're welcome :) I'm sure some of them will have the distress oxides in eventually. Most Aussie places get their supplies a few weeks or so after the US ones. I have taken to buying from franticstamper.com, and scrapbook.com who have recently reviewed their postage rates and are now somewhat reasonable. Simonsaysstamp.com have a flat $50 postage fee if you spend $250 or more too, I just keep adding stuff to my cart and when it reaches that amount I checkout :)
Auntie Triza Thanks. I'll check it out. I haven't heard of the two you mentioned. I do buy a lot from US suppliers, but sometimes the postage costs are too high for me.
I have only just found your tutorials, but they have made me really get to grips with the different techniques for using distress oxide inks. Thank you.
I have all of the Distress Ink and Distress Ink Products. I had talked myself out of the Oxide ink . . . until your video. The ink blending is THE answer I've been waiting for! I love the Wish card with the balloons.
Oh, boy Jennifer.....I am SO in love with what you've created here for us to enjoy, right down to using up all your scraps. I'm a self-described Distress Ink junkie and they have truly become my go-to inks for backgrounds and add-ons for my cards. Not only do I love blending with them but they come in such a wide variety of colors....something for everyone. These creamy new inks are absolutely yummy and I MUST have them!! Thanks for introducing us to this latest and greatest ink from Tim Holtz. ~HUGS~ #kindnessmatters
I loved your examples! To tell the truth I was so happy that you left out the browns, it allowed us to see just how pretty and vibrant these new oxide inks are. I know I will have to have them some day.
Thank you for taking the time to share the possibilities. Your creativity and love for sharing inspires me to try mediums I may not have considered. Everyday, I look forward to a new adventure in creativity!
I'm like many others who have commented...convinced I didn't need these until your video. Ugh. Yep...definitely getting them. Thanks for taking the time to do such a wonderful video!
I saw Tim's demos on these inks, and while they were interesting, they weren't interesting enough to me to want to purchase them. Then I saw your video, and now I want them! I hope Tim (and others) know how much your videos make a difference in their sales!
I have to wait to get my hands on these as I'm about to be in between jobs, but they look so fun. And I loved your sentiment about faith and fear. It's something in these days we all need to hear.
Great video. I watched Tim's presentation and loved these new Oxides. Your video really showed the actual design versatility. Die cutting them and not just creating backgrounds. You have a great speaking tone to your voice, and you keep the demonstration moving. Even your longer videos, never seem long. I really appreciate your talent.
These will be added to my crafty stash. I know already my husband will say 'You really need more stuff?'😉 He is so wonderful! The hardest decision is to get them all at once(budget stretcher) or a few at a time. Thanks,Jennifer, for sharing all your ideas and tips. God bless⭐️
It is a delight to watch you play with this new tool! Thank you! This video must have taken quite a while to put together, and it is done expertly. Thank you!
I have watched Tim's video several times and learned a lot. It is nice to see what you have done just a little bit differently and so I have learned more. Great colors and cards!
Jennifer, I so appreciate the clarity and concise delivery of your video. It was a pleasure to see such a professional production. I learned a great deal and think your cards are lovely.
just like Auntie Triza, I completely dismissed these oxide inks (just another ink and I have plenty 🤔) . But after your brilliant examples , I've seen the light ! Tim Holtz has you completely to thank for this purchase , without you sitting down and showing me in detail what these inks can do , I'm on the hook ! You should get a commission on these inks , you sold them ! Well done Jennifer 😆 !
We need a "love" button....thank you for this very helpful video. I've struggled using my distress oxide inks but you've given me insight and inspiration!!
I just recently started using Distress Inks and like them, but I think I will really LIKE the Distress Oxide inks even more. Thanks for the great video explaining them,
Omgee I'm obsessed. I was so frustrated with ink blending with distress inks but now I know why. I will be purchasing distress ink oxide. So much inspiration!!!
From the comments, I can see that I'm not alone.......I also didn't think that I needed these inks, but then I watched your video. Now they're at the top of my wish list. But I think I'll be happy just buying 6 rainbow colors, since I'm not a big fan of earth tones either. Beautiful cards....thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts about these inks with us! Heather
I'm only halfway through the video, but I am already hooked! I just love your take on inks and techniques. So fun!!! Those smooth rainbow backgrounds were gorgeous!!
I watched this last week and had the set ordered as fast as my little fingers could move. I'm so excited to receive them I had to at least watch you again. Thank you so much for all your ideas.
Jennifer, thank you for this video. I had ordered these inks, not having a clue what to do with them. Your information is invaluable and I look forward to trying these techniques. I appreciate how thorough you are when you demonstrate new products.
OMG. I haven't been cardmaking for very long, and I definitely struggle with blending backgrounds, even when using a brayer. I live in Australia and it was lucky I had just noticed Distress Oxides on an Australian online craft store. I watched your first video on them and I was hooked. The Distress Oxides are the best thing ever! I only bought them from watching your first video on them. WOW totally brilliant, I am so happy I bought them alll as they are consistently out of stock now! Still have to perfect some techniques, but practice makes perfect. I also had some failures, but you have shown that even failures can be used for die cuts or strips which is a great idea. Thanks heaps for that tip. These inks will pretty much replace using a brayer for me I think. I have touble with brayers, spending ages trying to get the transition to the next colour being seamless. I have just made a beautiful background, the transition is brilliant, and it took minutes! AMAZING! These oxide ink pads are the best thing since....forever! Great video too Jennifer Mcguire, I cannot wait for you to show us more techniques using Oxides! You are so talented, if I could be as talented as you I would be over the moon!!!!! So a huge THANK YOU! Keep the videos coming, you are absolutely bloody brilliant!!!!!
Wow Jennifer - what a brilliant video! Your coverage of, teaching of, and obvious love for this product shone through in the video and the cards! If anyone isn't inspired by this video then nothing would help them! Thank you - Julie
Really fun video Jennifer! Excellent demonstration of these inks. I wasn't sure about these inks and how different they could actually be, but now I'm blown away. I knew they would be good because it's Tim Holtz. I just wasn't sure how they compared to regular distress. So thanks so much for sharing!!
It took almost two years, but I finally ordered the first set of oxide inks. My decision was totally and completely based on your recommendation. Love your work and your techniques. I have even adopted several of your organization tips. Thanks for your wonderful contributions to the crafting community
This is probably the best comparison video out there for distress ink vs distress oxides. I hope you will get huge discounts or free products because you advertise this product better than any others. Thank you, I always love your work. Always beautiful.
I think these will be the answer for me when it comes to blending. I had given up on that technique......I have such a heavy hand that I always ended up with hard rings. Thank you for demoing them.
I have been watching videos to learn about different inks, techniques and die cuttings. Thank you for your in depth information on so many of These! I am convinced that the distress oxides are going to be my favorites.
I wasn't to sure about these inks when I first saw them. Now after watching your video I know I have to find a way to get them all. Thanks so much for sharing.
I watched Tim's video and decided I had no use for this inks but you have changed my mind -thanks for the time and trouble you have taken - lovely ideas and samples
Wow, like so many others, I wasn't sure if I needed or wanted these. I have been watching videos lately and have been interested in creating more interesting backgrounds, and better, more realistic backgrounds for scenic cards, and now I get it. I must have these!
Best video ever, Jennifer. Love all that you showed us and am so grateful to learn all these techniques. I shouldn't have but I ordered all twelve inks today. I am blown away at what can be done. Tim is amazing and so are you. I don't get out much so I enjoy your blog, Facebook etc. your whole family is a joy to watch and your kindness is contagious.
My husband & I were just at Stampfest last Saturday inNew Port Rickey, Florida and we saw this being demonstrated at the Tim Holtz booth. It's really neat and I thought at the time it would be fun to play with it but I think you do need a variety of colors to be able to create the beautiful backgrounds. Your demo was very informative and it was especially neat for me as I had just seen it done. And your right it gives the paper a cool suede look and feel!
Jennifer, I have to admit I was NOT going to get the Oxide Inks until this videoclip review swayed me ... it was yeah yeah ...and then when you spritzed it - the water droplets and all ... SOLD !!! now I'm convinced ... will be getting the whole range of 12 * grins * ... thanks so much for all the time and effort you put in with the regular videos ... we love them ... huge fans of yours down here in Australia * hugs * ... Lizzie Slothouber
Like everyone else here, I was firmly convinced that no-way-no-sir-i-do-not-need-more-inks, but watching them in action and hearing your enthusiasm flipped that on its head... This video should have come with an enabler warning! Thanks for sharing.. I'd love to get my hands on these and play with them soon :)
Jeeez....I was so sure I was in no need of the Oxides and that the Distresses would do just fine! But now.....whooaaa....I´m rushing to the nearest scrapbook store to get them. For sure! You are one master of inspiration, clear tutorials and you SELL the Oxides beautifully. Thanks! I´m hooked :)
Oh Jennifer, you've done it again. I didn't think I needed to invest in more ink pads, but you've proven me so wrong. After seeing all the amazing backgrounds you created, I've seen the light and I must get these magical ink pads ASAP!!!
I bought the complete set at the stamp show last weekend here in Florida. I knew I wanted them and was so glad to see that Stampers Anonymous had them in their booth - Ted actually had them shipped from Ranger to the show venue so that he'd have them to demo and sell. I can't tell you how much I love them!! I have to agree with you about the blendability. They make it so easy. I've made a journal page using them. I really hope they will be releasing these in the other Distress colors. I'll be watching for your future videos with these inks! Thanks!
I preordered these inks and was excited to get them, but now I am DANCING with impatience so that I can try all your wonderful techniques! Thanks so much for an extremely informative video!!
Jennifer my best friend sent me this link. I am knew to the Distress Oxide inks and your ideas are wonderful! Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
What a marvelous teacher you are. Excellent presentation of the oxides inks. I have 6 in my possession and played along with you. Can't wait for more. Thank you so much!
I so want these inks now I've seen what you have created. I'm not good at blending but when I see what you did I realize that I could become (look like) a pro. I have to save a bit so I can buy the set. Thanks so much for sharing your talent.
Jennifer I struggle with distress ink when attempting to do backgrounds. Yes I definitely myself switching to Oxide inks.Thank you so much for introducing this new product. I love you videos.
WOW! I absolutely love doing watercolor backgrounds, ombre backgrounds, distress backgrounds. Forty minutes ago I thought I had all the inks I would ever need. I guess I don't!! I cannot wait to try these.
Jennifer, I saw this on live feed at the Cha convention and didn't think I needed them. Thank you for sharing this video, these are a must add to a crafters arsenal. I would love to stamp with these. The pigment is phenomenal and the inky background is a wow factor.
Thank you for showing the different ways in which one can use these inks. I thought they looked interesting from the CHA videos but after yours I actually went and bought them.
Good grief! I hadn't even seen the entire video before I ordered the reinkers for myself! And previously I was not interested in them!! You get to the heart of a product and show us possibilities!
Jennifer, I was already a fan of yours, but oh wow, my respect level for you just went up a thousand. I thought you might do a video for these and you so did not disappoint. These inks are just way too cool to overlook. Bravo, lady crafter, bravo!
Found this informative and fun BUT now I want these. Thought as I had distress ink wouldn't be tempted BUT......... love them. Your videos are so helpful and easy to follow. Thank you and love to you and your family xxxx
These are a craft room MUST HAVE. Enjoyed video. Don't mind how long vids are since I craft while watching. You did some great techniques. They blend phenomenally. Looking forward to more of your discoveries.
Love the way these inks works. Thanks for showing the different ways to use them. When I first saw them wasn't sure I wanted or needed them. By seeing you use them it made me see that not only do I want them ,but need them. Thanks again. Wow on the last card. Always wondered what to do with those strips.
Jennifer, I am so excited too, these are just what I have been looking for. I took watercolor lessons and just can't get the hang of it. But, you've shown me exactly the type of background I want and can make easily. Thank you, thank you. Can't wait for more informative videos. You are a gem!!!
Jennifer, I just ordered my set of 12 inks and watched your video. I love all things multicolored and the fact that its so easy to make a beautiful rainbow background with these inks. Can't wait to play....thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much for this video. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with all of us. I hear the excitement in your voice which made me feel happy for you. I can just imagine all of the ideas churning in your mind for all kinds of new and fun techniques. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you'll come up with. Thanks again. Blessings to you and your family.
Jennifer....I didn't think I was going to get the Oxide inks...but with the wonderful video you made, they are a must have. They look so easy to use and the results are awesome.
Love your technique videos! I refer back to them often. You answered all my questions! Keep up the good work, your ideas always inspires me! Beautiful job, Jennifer!
Wow. This is an excellent video. I purchased just one of the Distress Oxides at a recent Stampfest show just to see what it was all about. I haven't done anything with it yet, but you now have me inspired, and I'll probably just HAVE to get all the rest of the colors! Thanks. I look forward to future videos from you.
I'm still so new to card making and have not tried anything with water yet. Thank you for this video, very informative about the different types of ink and what they do! Need to find these oxide ones!
Wow, Jennifer, you've given me so many reasons to get these inks. So many ways to use them. . .and so many ways to create with them--from backgrounds to balloons and weaving! The ideas just keep coming. Thanks so much for sharing it all.
I didn't think I would like the Oxide Inks until you did this video! Thank you!
It happend again. I was so sure I did not need them. Now, seeing it in action ... it feels like I have watched an ink revolution.
Thanks so much for sharing! I have a bad day today, the excitement in your voice made me forgot about it for 34:06 minutes.

I love the distress oxide inks. They have opened up a whole new world of crafting for me and I am having fun.
Wow! I watched Tim's demos but your video shows me what card makers can really use them for. Superb new product.
Thank you for taking the time to share the possibilities. Your creativity and love for sharing inspires me to try mediums I may not have considered. Everyday, I look forward to a new adventure in creativity!
I'm like many others who have commented...convinced I didn't need these until your video. Ugh. Yep...definitely getting them. Thanks for taking the time to do such a wonderful video!
Dear Jennifer, Oh my! What amazing cards you created. I cannot wait to try the new Oxides and get some of the amazing dies you featured!
I saw Tim's demos on these inks, and while they were interesting, they weren't interesting enough to me to want to purchase them. Then I saw your video, and now I want them! I hope Tim (and others) know how much your videos make a difference in their sales!
I have to wait to get my hands on these as I'm about to be in between jobs, but they look so fun. And I loved your sentiment about faith and fear. It's something in these days we all need to hear.
Thank you for showing the new ink Distress Oxide and how they can be used. It is exciding. Great information.
Great video. I watched Tim's presentation and loved these new Oxides. Your video really showed the actual design versatility.
Die cutting them and not just creating backgrounds. You have a great speaking tone to your voice, and you keep the demonstration moving. Even your longer videos, never seem long. I really appreciate your talent.
These will be added to my crafty stash. I know already my husband will say 'You really need more stuff?'😉 He is so wonderful! The hardest decision is to get them all at once(budget stretcher) or a few at a time. Thanks,Jennifer, for sharing all your ideas and tips. God bless⭐️
It is a delight to watch you play with this new tool! Thank you! This video must have taken quite a while to put together, and it is done expertly. Thank you!
I have watched Tim's video several times and learned a lot. It is nice to see what you have done just a little bit differently and so I have learned more. Great colors and cards!
Jennifer, I so appreciate the clarity and concise delivery of your video. It was a pleasure to see such a professional production. I learned a great deal and think your cards are lovely.
just like Auntie Triza, I completely dismissed these oxide inks (just another ink and I have plenty 🤔) . But after your brilliant examples , I've seen the light ! Tim Holtz has you completely to thank for this purchase , without you sitting down and showing me in detail what these inks can do , I'm on the hook ! You should get a commission on these inks , you sold them ! Well done Jennifer 😆 !
We need a "love" button....thank you for this very helpful video. I've struggled using my distress oxide inks but you've given me insight and inspiration!!
I just recently started using Distress Inks and like them, but I think I will really LIKE the Distress Oxide inks even more. Thanks for the great video explaining them,
Omgee I'm obsessed. I was so frustrated with ink blending with distress inks but now I know why. I will be purchasing distress ink oxide. So much inspiration!!!
From the comments, I can see that I'm not alone.......I also didn't think that I needed these inks, but then I watched your video. Now they're at the top of my wish list. But I think I'll be happy just buying 6 rainbow colors, since I'm not a big fan of earth tones either. Beautiful cards....thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts about these inks with us! Heather
OH BRAVO JENNIFER!!! This was truly a GREAT tutorial on Distress Oxide Inks. I look forward to getting crafty ! I'm Well and truly hooked.
I'm only halfway through the video, but I am already hooked! I just love your take on inks and techniques. So fun!!! Those smooth rainbow backgrounds were gorgeous!!
I watched this last week and had the set ordered as fast as my little fingers could move. I'm so excited to receive them I had to at least watch you again. Thank you so much for all your ideas.
Jennifer, thank you for this video. I had ordered these inks, not having a clue what to do with them. Your information is invaluable and I look forward to trying these techniques. I appreciate how thorough you are when you demonstrate new products.
OMG. I haven't been cardmaking for very long, and I definitely struggle with blending backgrounds, even when using a brayer. I live in Australia and it was lucky I had just noticed Distress Oxides on an Australian online craft store. I watched your first video on them and I was hooked.
The Distress Oxides are the best thing ever! I only bought them from watching your first video on them. WOW totally brilliant, I am so happy I bought them alll as they are consistently out of stock now! Still have to perfect some techniques, but practice makes perfect. I also had some failures, but you have shown that even failures can be used for die cuts or strips which is a great idea. Thanks heaps for that tip. These inks will pretty much replace using a brayer for me I think. I have touble with brayers, spending ages trying to get the transition to the next colour being seamless. I have just made a beautiful background, the transition is brilliant, and it took minutes!
AMAZING!
These oxide ink pads are the best thing since....forever! Great video too Jennifer Mcguire, I cannot wait for you to show us more techniques using Oxides!
You are so talented, if I could be as talented as you I would be over the moon!!!!!
So a huge THANK YOU!
Keep the videos coming, you are absolutely bloody brilliant!!!!!
Wow Jennifer - what a brilliant video! Your coverage of, teaching of, and obvious love for this product shone through in the video and the cards! If anyone isn't inspired by this video then nothing would help them! Thank you - Julie
Really fun video Jennifer! Excellent demonstration of these inks. I wasn't sure about these inks and how different they could actually be, but now I'm blown away. I knew they would be good because it's Tim Holtz. I just wasn't sure how they compared to regular distress. So thanks so much for sharing!!
It took almost two years, but I finally ordered the first set of oxide inks. My decision was totally and completely based on your recommendation. Love your work and your techniques. I have even adopted several of your organization tips. Thanks for your wonderful contributions to the crafting community
This is probably the best comparison video out there for distress ink vs distress oxides. I hope you will get huge discounts or free products because you advertise this product better than any others. Thank you, I always love your work. Always beautiful.
Tim Holtz owes you money. 😀
I think these will be the answer for me when it comes to blending. I had given up on that technique......I have such a heavy hand that I always ended up with hard rings. Thank you for demoing them.
I have been watching videos to learn about different inks, techniques and die cuttings. Thank you for your in depth information on so many of These! I am convinced that the distress oxides are going to be my favorites.
I wasn't to sure about these inks when I first saw them. Now after watching your video I know I have to find a way to get them all. Thanks so much for sharing.
One of the BEST information/tutorial videos I've seen in a long time. I thoroughly enjoyed this video from beginning to end. Thanks for sharing 💞!
Your video was indeed long, but it was all worth it, your work is exsquist,beautifully done. Thank you now I know what I need.
I watched Tim's video and decided I had no use for this inks but you have changed my mind -thanks for the time and trouble you have taken - lovely ideas and samples
This is VERY fun! Thank you for sharing so many ways to use the oxide inks!!! Fun, Fun, FUN ♥ Loved the last card for its abstract, happy feeling! ♥
Wow, like so many others, I wasn't sure if I needed or wanted these. I have been watching videos lately and have been interested in creating more interesting backgrounds, and better, more realistic backgrounds for scenic cards, and now I get it. I must have these!
Best video ever, Jennifer. Love all that you showed us and am so grateful to learn all these techniques. I shouldn't have but I ordered all twelve inks today. I am blown away at what can be done. Tim is amazing and so are you. I don't get out much so I enjoy your blog, Facebook etc. your whole family is a joy to watch and your kindness is contagious.
My husband & I were just at Stampfest last Saturday inNew Port Rickey, Florida and we saw this being demonstrated at the Tim Holtz booth. It's really neat and I thought at the time it would be fun to play with it but I think you do need a variety of colors to be able to create the beautiful backgrounds. Your demo was very informative and it was especially neat for me as I had just seen it done. And your right it gives the paper a cool suede look and feel!
Jennifer, I have to admit I was NOT going to get the Oxide Inks until this videoclip review swayed me ... it was yeah yeah ...and then when you spritzed it - the water droplets and all ... SOLD !!! now I'm convinced ... will be getting the whole range of 12 * grins * ... thanks so much for all the time and effort you put in with the regular videos ... we love them ... huge fans of yours down here in Australia * hugs * ... Lizzie Slothouber
Like everyone else here, I was firmly convinced that no-way-no-sir-i-do-not-need-more-inks, but watching them in action and hearing your enthusiasm flipped that on its head... This video should have come with an enabler warning!
Thanks for sharing.. I'd love to get my hands on these and play with them soon :)
Jeeez....I was so sure I was in no need of the Oxides and that the Distresses would do just fine! But now.....whooaaa....I´m rushing to the nearest scrapbook store to get them. For sure! You are one master of inspiration, clear tutorials and you SELL the Oxides beautifully. Thanks! I´m hooked :)
Wow, I hope these inks are on the market now. I love them Thanks for all the fab ideas. Blessings to you Jennifer
Oh Jennifer, you've done it again. I didn't think I needed to invest in more ink pads, but you've proven me so wrong. After seeing all the amazing backgrounds you created, I've seen the light and I must get these magical ink pads ASAP!!!
That video was completely AMAZING!!! :) I love all of the cards you created!
I bought the complete set at the stamp show last weekend here in Florida. I knew I wanted them and was so glad to see that Stampers Anonymous had them in their booth - Ted actually had them shipped from Ranger to the show venue so that he'd have them to demo and sell. I can't tell you how much I love them!! I have to agree with you about the blendability. They make it so easy. I've made a journal page using them. I really hope they will be releasing these in the other Distress colors.
I'll be watching for your future videos with these inks! Thanks!
I preordered these inks and was excited to get them, but now I am DANCING with impatience so that I can try all your wonderful techniques! Thanks so much for an extremely informative video!!
Jennifer my best friend sent me this link. I am knew to the Distress Oxide inks and your ideas are wonderful! Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
What a marvelous teacher you are. Excellent presentation of the oxides inks. I have 6 in my possession and played along with you. Can't wait for more. Thank you so much!
I so want these inks now I've seen what you have created. I'm not good at blending but when I see what you did I realize that I could become (look like) a pro. I have to save a bit so I can buy the set. Thanks so much for sharing your talent.
I have a lot of trouble blending so I just purchased 7 of these inks to start with. Thank you Jennifer I love your videos.
Jennifer I struggle with distress ink when attempting to do backgrounds. Yes I definitely myself switching to Oxide inks.Thank you so much for introducing this new product. I love you videos.
WOW! I absolutely love doing watercolor backgrounds, ombre backgrounds, distress backgrounds. Forty minutes ago I thought I had all the inks I would ever need. I guess I don't!! I cannot wait to try these.
Jennifer, I saw this on live feed at the Cha convention and didn't think I needed them. Thank you for sharing this video, these are a must add to a crafters arsenal. I would love to stamp with these. The pigment is phenomenal and the inky background is a wow factor.
Fabulous video...incredibly inspiring! We love what you do.
thank you!
Thank you for showing the different ways in which one can use these inks. I thought they looked interesting from the CHA videos but after yours I actually went and bought them.
Good grief! I hadn't even seen the entire video before I ordered the reinkers for myself! And previously I was not interested in them!! You get to the heart of a product and show us possibilities!
Jennifer, I was already a fan of yours, but oh wow, my respect level for you just went up a thousand. I thought you might do a video for these and you so did not disappoint. These inks are just way too cool to overlook. Bravo, lady crafter, bravo!
I just bought 4 oxides ones at my local craft shop. I can't wait to try now. Thanks so much for the demo....
Wonderful video! I went from 0 interest in Distress Oxide to putting them on my need list! Thank you ! Mary Mitchell
Found this informative and fun BUT now I want these. Thought as I had distress ink wouldn't be tempted BUT......... love them. Your videos are so helpful and easy to follow. Thank you and love to you and your family xxxx
I usually struggle with ink blending and wasn't sure about these, until your wonderful video.
Your enthusiasm is infectious I caught it and now have to buy more inks,thank you so much for your videos always very helpful.
These are a craft room MUST HAVE. Enjoyed video. Don't mind how long vids are since I craft while watching. You did some great techniques. They blend phenomenally. Looking forward to more of your discoveries.
Love the way these inks works. Thanks for showing the different ways to use them. When I first saw them wasn't sure I wanted or needed them. By seeing you use them it made me see that not only do I want them ,but need them. Thanks again. Wow on the last card. Always wondered what to do with those strips.
Jennifer, I am so excited too, these are just what I have been looking for. I took watercolor lessons and just can't get the hang of it. But, you've shown me exactly the type of background I want and can make easily. Thank you, thank you. Can't wait for more informative videos. You are a gem!!!
I'm definitely adding these to my craft supplies! Thanks Jennifer! Hugs!
Jennifer, I just ordered my set of 12 inks and watched your video. I love all things multicolored and the fact that its so easy to make a beautiful rainbow background with these inks. Can't wait to play....thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much for this video. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with all of us. I hear the excitement in your voice which made me feel happy for you. I can just imagine all of the ideas churning in your mind for all kinds of new and fun techniques. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you'll come up with. Thanks again. Blessings to you and your family.
Wow! These new inks are amazing! I LOVE the results you got! Thanks for sharing your explorations!
Jennifer....I didn't think I was going to get the Oxide inks...but with the wonderful video you made, they are a must have. They look so easy to use and the results are awesome.
Love your technique videos! I refer back to them often. You answered all my questions! Keep up the good work, your ideas always inspires me! Beautiful job, Jennifer!
Wow. This is an excellent video. I purchased just one of the Distress Oxides at a recent Stampfest show just to see what it was all about. I haven't done anything with it yet, but you now have me inspired, and I'll probably just HAVE to get all the rest of the colors! Thanks. I look forward to future videos from you.
I'm still so new to card making and have not tried anything with water yet. Thank you for this video, very informative about the different types of ink and what they do! Need to find these oxide ones!
Wow, Jennifer, you've given me so many reasons to get these inks. So many ways to use them. . .and so many ways to create with them--from backgrounds to balloons and weaving! The ideas just keep coming. Thanks so much for sharing it all.
Another brillant video. Clear, concise and full of information. Thank you so much.
The Distress Oxide inks look awesome to use. Have struggled some with the "old" inks. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching you play with the oxide inks...I learned a lot. You do a fabulous job!
I can't even believe how excited I am for these new inks! I want these badly! Good job Jennifer! Lol!!
I didn't think I was going to like these inks but instead you intrigued me and I want buy some and play. Thank you for sharing your tips
