The main difference between the oxide and inks is the oxidation of the oxides when you wet it on paper. If you are not doing mixed media, you probably should use the inks. You can wet them as well but they do not oxidize. As far as being juicy, you stamp off on scrap paper first then stamp your project. They are new that’s why juicy. Tim has great video on the differences. Hope this helps.
To me The oxides give you a chalk paint effect. If you are wanting clear images when stamping try the archival permanent inks. I use ink refresher because I live in a very dry climate. For 3 in one decant into sugar bell bottles and you can thin it down (if needed) with alcohol 😊
If you are looking for a braver try to find a Speedball brand. It is much better than the Tim Holtz one. I replaced my Tim Holtz one twice then got the speedball one and it is much better.
I notice all your plastic envelopes that you keep everything in, I love them,now I want to get some,I do love your list,and I love that you love yourself,positive is so nice to hear,I love watching your channel.
You kept apologizing for such a long video. As a new don't journal maker I found it very interesting to watch as I was doing a bunch of fussy cutting. Your reviews of these items was very helpful.
Love all the tools and stuff you introduced here. Totally understand your feelings about the alphabet sizzix. You could abandon using them to punch fuzzy letters completely and instead use them to make dangles for journals. Colour them with alcohol inks, embossing powder etc, however you want, or with nail polish (much cheaper) and voila! you have some pretty dangles or charms.
Just now watching this one today and so happy you made this one long video in one go. I appreciate your honest opinions expressed in a humorous manner and also appreciate how much time and effort went into the making of this video❤…it really flew by for me. 😊
New Subscriber..from Arkansas, USA. I used to have a good friend that was born in the Netherlands. I found it funny that U brought up the make up! My supplies have been packed away for awhile and haven't found my inks yet, My Mom has some eye shadows...one case has like a dozen shadows, including..a BROWN & a BLACK for use as eyeliners + a creamy yellow that worked VERY Nicely for "aging" something that way too white. Plus she found a pack containing 5 Glitter shadows. I used a cheap small Paint brush, a make up brush I don't use, a couple of makeup sponges (a Firm 1 & a Soft 1)...1 of those cheap foam paint brushes, & of course the little sponge applicators in the eye shadows..(which U can purchase a small pkg of Extras for a round a $1.00. THEY ALL WORKED! A bottle of Elmer's Multi Purpose Glue..(which can be turned into Decoupage glue! NEVER understand people paying $10 for a jar or Modge Podge, when U can just pour some of the glue in a small jar..add just a LITTLE water, stir...And U HAVE IT! On. THE. CHEAP! Been doing that for years...NO PROBLEMS w/it.) I really take it as a PERSONAL CHALLENGE, to see what I can find...NOT marketed AS "Craft" & see what I can do with it!
Margreth, try lightly rubbing the stamp with very fine sandpaper. Iod designs very expensive stamps etc and they recommend that gently sanding on their stamps. It makes them a little less sticky and they hold the ink better.
Sugar belle icing bottles are the best for fabritac/fabrifix/3in1 Beacon. The big bottle oozes to much and those little bottles are frustrating. Definitely sugar belle bottle will ale all the difference and you can get silicone caps for the icing bottles
You will have to use binders like Tim, but you can use magnetic strips that you put over your air vent on the floor works grate for all your sixes dies.
I would like to thank you so much, I got fed up with making cards, to be honest, I got bored with it. I am now after watching your channel into the lovely grungy stuff, you have got me going again. I loved the little labels. I am now your biggest fan. I have just had my 71st birthday last Saturday and I am now going to start to do journals. I am going to binge watch your videos. Sending lots of love from the UK❤
Re the light colored Distress Oxides that don't show up: I use them for altering and distressing photographic images. Photos are often too dramatic or colorful or contrast-y to fit in well with other elements, so I alter them with a light color ink as a filter to knock them back a little so that they "sit down" on the page better. "Old Paper" is one of my favorites for this, but I also use Spun Sugar, Stormy Sky, etc.
It is nice to hear I'm not the only one that prefers the original inks over the oxides. TO me it just looks like white gouache is added. When you talk ink pads you have water based such as the original distress inks, pigment like VersaFine, ink based pads like Archival, and Oil based like SazOn. You mentioned that your SazOn dried out quickly... The reason for this is usually that people throw out the inner see through plastic cover. They think that it is shipping material but it actually is there to protect the pad. This may or may not be your issue. If your pads are drying out there are some easy inexpensive fixes. For water based pads you can mist them with water and let sit for a minute. It will not bring back pads that are out of ink but is very useful for reviving ones that are just dry. For pigment pads glycerine you get from baking or pharmacies is very affordable an works miracles. only a couple drops let sit if it needs more you can ad 2 drops at a time but do not over use. Hope that helps.
I totally agree on the inks vs. oxide. I just commented that the difference is the same as gouache & watercolor. The inks penetrate the paper whereas the oxides tint it by stay on the surface and move around if you monkey with them giving an opaque gouache appearance (extrapolated from a Tim Holtz video I watched years ago).
I HAVE.. GOT TO Buy some ink stamps Soon! I've run out SOO many colors don't work anymore. AAHH, I'M.. NOT.. the Only one that uses MAKE-UP. I DO give what everywhat ever I've used it on, a quick mist of hairspray after a few minutes to help set the makeup. I decided to try it after discovering how FEW of my inks Stilled worked(& having a look at all the eyeshadows that mother has... lol)
Heel mooi alle tools. Maar je hebt helemaal gelijk. Een goede printer is DE tool voor mij ook. Je kunt alles in elke maat uitprinten.! Ik nummer 2 zou zijn; een scan’ncut machine! Dan heb je alles in eigen hand
The tweezer scissors are called Castroviejo scissors if anyone is looking. They are a surgical instrument for eye surgery I think Castroviejo was just the guy who invented them. :)
On the Tim Holtz label dies, use a sponge and dab on the die, see if that helps. It make take a bit of fiddling. On the abc’s. Use tape to line them up and punch out tape them.. layer post-a-note sticky side up. Put paper you want to punch out of it the post a note, put die on top and put low tack take on top. It may, be easier to use..
Margareth, thank you for your candid opinions and recommendations; this is such a helpful video. I have been subscribed for a couple of months now and totally enjoy your craft and your personality. I also cannot believe you have only had your channel for less than a year. Other crafters have said it's about normal to get 1,000 subscribers in your first year - you surpassed that goal long ago and have more followers than many long term crafters. It just goes to show what talent and personality can do for you. Here is looking forward to a healthy, happy and successful 2023 for you and your family. Happy New Year. 💖🎆 👍
I made my own deckle edged ruler. I used a triangular ruler that my husband had and wasn’t using. I made 2 different edges and kept one straight. I love it more than any I purchased
I did to bought the plastic rulers at dollar tree and took a pair of pliers and pinch out some little bits on one side and on the other side slightly bigger.I could not see paying that much for one.
I love the pumice stone on dark papers or black. Ink is more transparent. Oxide is great for backgrounds. I prefer archival for stamping. But loving my new fallen leaves and shady lane from Versafine Clair. 😍😍😍😍. Thanks for introducing me to it. I like that you can pick up reinkers for less than 2 ink pads and they last ages!!!!!! I agree on vintage photo too orange. But walnut stain and ground espresso ink are my jam!
I had no idea your channel is so new…so many subbies! Goes to show you…unique projects and techniques and a fun personality are the keys to success. I appreciate you.
All acetone based glues like beacon will volcano, because it needs to be thinned down, however, using the icing piping bottles like the one from Sugarbelle helps greatly as long as you keep it full. ❤
For the Beacon craft glue - I don't think you are doing anything wrong. It just volcanoes out - and it is super annoying! My friend @ingridcarlsen tried watering it down with pure acetone and then it works in those little bottles. It is much less drippy that way!
I had someone tell me to not remove the plastic seal under the cap when you first buy it and instead poke a hole in the middle. I’ve had way less volcano-ing! Hope that helps you too.
You Love your stamps so much they sell believe it or not in a dollar store or on line dog grooming scissors with one side a comb edge and it looks just like the stamp perforations when you cut.
Tim Holtz Oxide vs. Ink: The main differences are the transparency & penetration of paper (I learned from a Tim Holtz video years ago). This difference is like that of watercolor and gouache. Inks would be the watercolor and oxides are more opaque like gouache. The inks penetrate the paper whereas the oxide (yes, tints the paper) stays primarily on the surface and moves around said surface. This means inks are transparent and oxides are more opaque. You can still spray both with water to get a grungy look with techniques. But I always prefer inks which you must order to purchase. Only oxides are hanging on display in craft stores (in the Houston area). And my absolute favorite aside from Vintage Photo (so similar to Frayed Burlap) is Rusty Hinge 🤪--extra orangey!
Je kunt 12 inch papier snijden met je trimmer door het plastic stuk eraf te halen, papier snijden (goed vast houden, want het plastic stuk is eraf en die zorgt ervoor dat hij goed blijft liggen), verleg het papier en snij verder.
Absolutely thrilled with your page AND for cheaper tools. I can only do my gluebooking in bed as I have Multiple sclerosis and I would never have thought about eye makeup! Wow….I am so happy. I only have scissors and glue sticks and I cannot cut pictures straight… but I make do. You are my inspiration. Thank you so much❤️❤️❤️😃
For the label dies, they do take practice. My labels and tags don’t ever come out crisp and clean looking, but I’m learning to embrace the imperfection. Archival Ink and a soft rubber brayer (like Tim’s) are best. For stamping, I prime all of my stamps by rubbing a layer of black archival ink over them and letting it dry. They don’t look pretty anymore, but they stamp nice. I prefer the regular Versafine (like Versafine Onyx Black) to Versafine Clair for the exact reason you said. Like you, I am a bargain shopper and RARELY pay full price for anything. Fabulous video and congrats on a stellar first year! Sending hugs from Ky, USA
Margreth, congratulations on (almost) one year of your channel! I can’t believe you have been doing this less than a year, your videos are always so well done. I have really enjoyed wat them, and I’ve made several of your projects. Thank you for all your work! And 💗💗 from Tucson, Arizona, USA 🌵🌵🌵
I agree with you on the circle punches - have them all and love them. If you would like to have a larger slot punch (the size of your little die), I have one that I found in an office supply shop, made for punching a slot in a plastic ID card. The slot is the perfect size for threading ribbon, and it’s such a heavy duty punch that it will easily punch through card stock.
I didn’t realize how new your channel is because you are so professional! Thank you for sharing all your creativity with us. I appreciate your honest reviews on all the products. I totally agree with you. 😊 looking forward to what 2023 brings to your channel. ❤
You are so amazing Margreth. I am new to your You Tube channel and I love your videos. Thank you. I have a hint for you with the TH label dies. The brayer did not work well for me either. What DID work was using a pigment ink stamp pad. I put the die down on a flat surface (my desk) and gently tapped the ink pad on the die. Picking it up without touching the ink took a little practice. I used a pencil to slide it to edge of my desk and then just grabbed it. Have your paper already on die cut machine, place die ink side down and it worked very well for me. i would say 80% came out perfect. And the others were actually all usable. I was worried the pigment ink would smear- but it did not. The paper absorbed it. I used coffee died copy paper and card stock. I did try other inks, but Pigment Ink worked best.
The hole reinforcer die cut you have that you said looks like a bottle or a dobber can be used as a closure. You would probably need to use thick paper or glue a few together. Putting a brad in the hole part then you spin it up and down to hold something closed. (Such as a card glued in a journal) I hope that makes sense.
I agree, the label dies are very tricky. I use a rubber brayer (not Tim Holtz brand) and I use archival ink. I also use smooth watercolor paper with these dies - other paper did not transfer the ink well at all. It always takes a few cuts before I get a really good ink and cut. Loved this video!
Dear Margreth, Thank you for all the most useful information, great to know what the best/worst of the products are. Especially Mr Tim Holtz's goodies. The glues was also most informative. Thank you also for all the fabulous videos you have given out this year, I am a new subscriber and already I am catching up on the "older" videos, and I am LOVING them. So glad I "found" you and now you are my go to person for inspiration with lots of fun and laughter. Love the way you work and keep on calling yourself Lovie, it is soooo cute. I also talk to my tools and things I am doing, my hubby thinks I am loosing my mind, but having shown him some of the videos, he now understand, although he does tell me you cannot hear me!!!!!! I need a Harry Potter TV, then you could hear me and I could also craft with you at your house!!!!! Would love a real "visit". i could learn so much. Margreth, I want to wish you and your hubby the very best for 2023, may it be an awesome one, filled with lots of love, laughter, blessings and many more crafting adventures. Blessings and hugs, as always, from Cape Town. Diana 😊🤗🦊🦊🥂🥂
Also, I have found whale tail punches on Marketplace,TWICE. They were both in large lots of punches. I bought 20 various punches for $40. The first one I kept, the other I sold on eBay for $65. You can find very good deals on Marketplace, just keep your eyes peeled.
This is so fun watching, i am so new at this and living in the Philippines, in the province, supplies are a challenge. I am going to the States in April and will get some supplies there. I did have something you showed at the end. And I never thought of using it and That is the little perforation wheel, i am 70 and still have the one I used in high school, i have not used it in 50 years now I can use it, lol. I would be able to get some digitals, but my printer is not accepting it has ink, so time for a new printer. I enjoyed this so much.
Art Glitter Glue is by far my favorite glue, second 3 in 1, third PVA, & matte medium gel. I have everything you have on your table. I struggle with the We R hole punch/eyelet setter but I really struggle with it because I have arthritis in my hands. Least favorite is Mod Podge but always have a small bottle on hand if needed.
Just wanted to say I think the dauber looking die in the hole reinforcer set looks like it may be for making one of the little closure tabs that twists around to hold a flap closed maybe. Also wanna say I love watching your videos! This has been a very rough year for me personally and watching your videos has really helped take mind off my troubles if only for a little while. I love your sense of humor!
@@SevenplazaCreative Aww...you calling me lovey has already made my year brighter!!😁🥰 Big hugs and hope you get better soon. I will miss your daily videos, but you definitely need to take care of yourself.
RE: Ink, if you want to stamp neither the oxide or the the die ink is great. I love the intensity of the dye pads but if you want to dye textiles oxide is the best. The Versafine is WONDERFUL for stamping. Lol, the more you use them the less juicy they will be.
Margareth, invest in a sizzix magnetic platform, to use with your dies, you place the die on the platform and then use them over and over until you make as many as you want. I put the die down cutting side up and then the paper, it works great. Hope it works for you.
Archival Brilliance Moonlight White is a lovely white ink. Good for stamping. (I love white on craft.) Picket Fence oxide, not so good, but fine for stenciling.
I use scotch glue stick it’s permanent and holds good.I buy it on Amazon.the matte medium is great to apply on a glossy picture then when it dries it’s matte and not shiny.
To get a slot that is just the right size use your small hole punch to punch two holes the right distance apart then use your craft knife to cut the slot in between. I do this to make the Tim Holtz style slot pockets too. Then you can make whatever size you need or whatever shape you want.
Maybe try coloring the troublesome label die with your markers? I do mine that way and it is perfect! 🤍🤍🤍 ps: also try dusting your sticky stamp set with corn starch before use. It helps!
Yes, I was about to suggest the same but with baby powder. Corn starch is anyway something that coul bring little fly..and we work with paper..so I think better the baby powder. But.. anyway..
For the label dies from Tim Holtz, clean them with alcohol first. I did not have much luck with Distress inks, but if I used VersaFine ink with the Tim Holtz Brayer it works pretty good. You need to go over it several times with the ink and just view it to make sure you have good coverage before die cutting.
Distress “Oxides” is a fusion of pigment and dye ink, is opaque, and oxidizes with water. Distress “inks” are dye inks and are translucent. Neither Distress oxides or inks are great for stamping. They are best used for inking techniques. Love your channel. Happy New Year!
Margreth I just got the whale tale punch, love it. I have many of the same punches, dies that you have. I think the letter, number dies are a lot of work. A plate would of been better. You are right about art glitter glue being the best. Don’t leave the top off it for very long or it gunks up. I love this video. I also enjoyed your 2 Q,A videos, recommended it to my friend, she loved it. Usually you can’t go wrong with Tim holtz products, except the ones that have 25 or 30 pieces, they’re too Fiddly. Thanks for sharing.
Ik ben je pas een weekje terug gaan volgen, en had eerst niet eens door dat je uit Nederland kwam! Zelf maak ik geen junk journals enzo, maar maak graag kaarten en doosjes. Maar dan op de "nette" manier, zonder junk. Doordat ik Elizabeth Craft Design een mooi merk vindt, kwam ik ook uit bij jou. In deze video vertel je dat er stempeltjes van ECD blijven plakken aan het papier, waardoor je ze niet meer ging gebruiken. Ik wist dat ik pas ergens een video had gezien waarin dat ter sprake kwam. Dus ik net een boel ECD video's bekeken, maar het kwam er niet in voor. Tot ik net een video van jou bekeek, met de leuke tickets van ECD. Haha, daarin vertelde je dat Devid je de tip had gegeven om de stempel niet schoon te maken, waardoor ze minder gaan plakken. Misschien ga je nu de retro labels wel weer gebruiken!
May I suggest that you use the brayer to spread paint on a surface, not too thinly, THEN dip your label dies on to that before cutting. I think that may work better.
hi Margareth. I'm new to the game and have learned so much with your videos. Thank you. I love the clear storage envelopes that you store your materials in. Would you mind sharing how and where to purchase these? Thank you, Marnie. USA
Just watched this, only started scrapbooking in March came across you and love your video. Respect your opinions and loved your top20 which is very useful. Thank you
What? Drippy didn't make your top 20? He must have come in a close one at #21, LOL! I agree with your assessment of the label dies - why bother when it is faster to cut labels with your scissors? Thanks for all of your hard work this past year and congratulations on how far you have come in just 11 months. I discovered your channel about two months ago and I'm hooked. I'm trying to catch up on your earlier videos on weekends just to get my daily dose of you and your sense of humor!
I use the White Ink.... to stamp for using EMBOSSING Powder.
The main difference between the oxide and inks is the oxidation of the oxides when you wet it on paper. If you are not doing mixed media, you probably should use the inks. You can wet them as well but they do not oxidize. As far as being juicy, you stamp off on scrap paper first then stamp your project. They are new that’s why juicy.

As a new crafter, (well a retired person returning to crafting after many years...lol) I found this video very helpful! Good job❣️I love your videos!😘
Thanks Chris, good to hear you are crafting again 😁🥰
Put temporary adhesive removable adhesive on the Elisabeth craft sticky. Wash the with warm water and mild soap
Love all if your videos. I am going to go watch all of your posts!
😁👍🏻😘
Tim has a video showing the difference between the ink and oxide.
You will have to use binders like Tim, but you can use magnetic strips that you put over your air vent on the floor works grate for all your sixes dies.
😁👍🏻
Sizzix makes a really die cutting brush. And I live the speedball rubber brayer because its easier to clean or one made my ranger.
The best way to understand oxide and inks is to watch Tim Holtz videos. He explains the features of each type of ink.
Thanks 👍🏻😘
Forgot to add I loved this long video!
Zou je weer een keer een update willen geven van je favorieten en waar je minder enthousiast over bent? Ik heb hier zoveel aan gehad!
Ik doe dit aan het eind van het jaar weer 😁
Eye shadow is made of mica. Resin workers use it a lot instead of expensive mica powders.

Margareth, thank you for your candid opinions and recommendations; this is such a helpful video. I have been subscribed for a couple of months now and totally enjoy your craft and your personality.

I LOVE the Whale Tail die set! Well worth the money!
I have no idea what a Whale Tail die set creates or what you would use it for. ???
It is ! 👍🏻😘
It makes Tabs with a rounded bottom .
Kun je er iets van laten zien? Ik heb ook geen idee 😂…
Tim Holtz Oxide vs. Ink:
The main differences are the transparency & penetration of paper (I learned from a Tim Holtz video years ago). This difference is like that of watercolor and gouache. Inks would be the watercolor and oxides are more opaque like gouache. The inks penetrate the paper whereas the oxide (yes, tints the paper) stays primarily on the surface and moves around said surface. This means inks are transparent and oxides are more opaque. You can still spray both with water to get a grungy look with techniques. But I always prefer inks which you must order to purchase. Only oxides are hanging on display in craft stores (in the Houston area). And my absolute favorite aside from Vintage Photo (so similar to Frayed Burlap) is Rusty Hinge 🤪--extra orangey!
Thanks for the explanation 👍🏻😘
Thankyou so very much for sharing yourself with us and thankyou for your time. Im just starting and find you so inspiring ❤
😁👍🏻
Je kunt 12 inch papier snijden met je trimmer door het plastic stuk eraf te halen, papier snijden (goed vast houden, want het plastic stuk is eraf en die zorgt ervoor dat hij goed blijft liggen), verleg het papier en snij verder.
You really should watch some of Timmy’s (as Gayle calls him) videos about the inks. That’s how I learned their properties. It’s helpful.
👍🏻😘
Absolutely thrilled with your page AND for cheaper tools. I can only do my gluebooking in bed as I have Multiple sclerosis and I would never have thought about eye makeup! Wow….I am so happy. I only have scissors and glue sticks and I cannot cut pictures straight… but I make do. You are my inspiration. Thank you so much❤️❤️❤️😃
😘😁👍🏻
Hero Arts Unicorn for a good white. It is a pigment ink.
Don’t know that brand 👍🏻😘
STAZON white is best on porous surfaces
Transparencies,wood,metal etc
100% good in the correct use❤
For the label dies, they do take practice. My labels and tags don’t ever come out crisp and clean looking, but I’m learning to embrace the imperfection. Archival Ink and a soft rubber brayer (like Tim’s) are best. For stamping, I prime all of my stamps by rubbing a layer of black archival ink over them and letting it dry. They don’t look pretty anymore, but they stamp nice. I prefer the regular Versafine (like Versafine Onyx Black) to Versafine Clair for the exact reason you said. Like you, I am a bargain shopper and RARELY pay full price for anything. Fabulous video and congrats on a stellar first year! Sending hugs from Ky, USA
Thank you so much Katie. Happy new year 🥰👍🏻
I like Tims Inks and Mica Stains I have not had any interest so far in the Oxide yet!
Margreth, congratulations on (almost) one year of your channel! I can’t believe you have been doing this less than a year, your videos are always so well done. I have really enjoyed wat them, and I’ve made several of your projects. Thank you for all your work! And 💗💗 from Tucson, Arizona, USA 🌵🌵🌵
Thanks sweetheart, happy new year 🥰
For letters, just use transfers or stickers. Much easier than die cutting little individual letters.
👍🏻😘
I agree with you on the circle punches - have them all and love them. If you would like to have a larger slot punch (the size of your little die), I have one that I found in an office supply shop, made for punching a slot in a plastic ID card. The slot is the perfect size for threading ribbon, and it’s such a heavy duty punch that it will easily punch through card stock.
Great tip, thanks 👍🏻😘
But it doesn’t have a very long reach, does it? I have one and I can only punch relatively close to the edge.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thanks and best wishes for 2023!
Thanks Susan, happy new year 😘
I didn’t realize how new your channel is because you are so professional! Thank you for sharing all your creativity with us. I appreciate your honest reviews on all the products. I totally agree with you. 😊 looking forward to what 2023 brings to your channel. ❤
Thanks 😊
Thank you!!! I was a bit confused about what inks and oxides to buy. ❤
👍🏻😘
You are so amazing Margreth. I am new to your You Tube channel and I love your videos. Thank you. I have a hint for you with the TH label dies. The brayer did not work well for me either. What DID work was using a pigment ink stamp pad. I put the die down on a flat surface (my desk) and gently tapped the ink pad on the die. Picking it up without touching the ink took a little practice. I used a pencil to slide it to edge of my desk and then just grabbed it. Have your paper already on die cut machine, place die ink side down and it worked very well for me. i would say 80% came out perfect. And the others were actually all usable. I was worried the pigment ink would smear- but it did not. The paper absorbed it. I used coffee died copy paper and card stock. I did try other inks, but Pigment Ink worked best.
Hi Deb, welcome to my channel, and thanks for the tip 👍🏻
Happy new year lovey 🥰
The hole reinforcer die cut you have that you said looks like a bottle or a dobber can be used as a closure. You would probably need to use thick paper or glue a few together. Putting a brad in the hole part then you spin it up and down to hold something closed. (Such as a card glued in a journal)
I hope that makes sense.
Cool 😁👍🏻
So enjoying this video while having my coffee! Very informative! Love your videos and love listening to you talk❤️
Thanks 😊
I wasn't overly impressed with the scissors.😊
I agree, the label dies are very tricky. I use a rubber brayer (not Tim Holtz brand) and I use archival ink. I also use smooth watercolor paper with these dies - other paper did not transfer the ink well at all. It always takes a few cuts before I get a really good ink and cut. Loved this video!
I was so hopping for this kind of video. 😘
👍🏻😘
OMG, I am so happy to found you!!
I love you all ready!! 😊
Thank you for all the hints! ❤️ 🇨🇦
Welcome to my channel dear 👍🏻😘
Dear Margreth, Thank you for all the most useful information, great to know what the best/worst of the products are. Especially Mr Tim Holtz's goodies. The glues was also most informative. Thank you also for all the fabulous videos you have given out this year, I am a new subscriber and already I am catching up on the "older" videos, and I am LOVING them. So glad I "found" you and now you are my go to person for inspiration with lots of fun and laughter. Love the way you work and keep on calling yourself Lovie, it is soooo cute. I also talk to my tools and things I am doing, my hubby thinks I am loosing my mind, but having shown him some of the videos, he now understand, although he does tell me you cannot hear me!!!!!! I need a Harry Potter TV, then you could hear me and I could also craft with you at your house!!!!! Would love a real "visit". i could learn so much. Margreth, I want to wish you and your hubby the very best for 2023, may it be an awesome one, filled with lots of love, laughter, blessings and many more crafting adventures. Blessings and hugs, as always, from Cape Town. Diana 😊🤗🦊🦊🥂🥂
🤣🤣🤣 I do that myself, I always talk back to my screen .
Thank you so much for the kind comment sweetheart. Happy new year to you and your husband 😘
Also, I have found whale tail punches on Marketplace,TWICE. They were both in large lots of punches. I bought 20 various punches for $40. The first one I kept, the other I sold on eBay for $65. You can find very good deals on Marketplace, just keep your eyes peeled.
👍🏻😘
This is so fun watching, i am so new at this and living in the Philippines, in the province, supplies are a challenge. I am going to the States in April and will get some supplies there. I did have something you showed at the end. And I never thought of using it and That is the little perforation wheel, i am 70 and still have the one I used in high school, i have not used it in 50 years now I can use it, lol. I would be able to get some digitals, but my printer is not accepting it has ink, so time for a new printer. I enjoyed this so much.
Thank you so much ☺️
Art Glitter Glue is by far my favorite glue, second 3 in 1, third PVA, & matte medium gel. I have everything you have on your table.
I struggle with the We R hole punch/eyelet setter but I really struggle with it because I have arthritis in my hands.
Least favorite is Mod Podge but always have a small bottle on hand if needed.
👍🏻😘
This was really good! Thanks!!!!
Just wanted to say I think the dauber looking die in the hole reinforcer set looks like it may be for making one of the little closure tabs that twists around to hold a flap closed maybe. Also wanna say I love watching your videos! This has been a very rough year for me personally and watching your videos has really helped take mind off my troubles if only for a little while. I love your sense of humor!
Thanks Lynn , hoping this will be a much better year for you lovey 🙏🏼😘👍🏻
I thought the same thing.
@@SevenplazaCreative Aww...you calling me lovey has already made my year brighter!!😁🥰 Big hugs and hope you get better soon. I will miss your daily videos, but you definitely need to take care of yourself.
Oxides colors are for sraying water on like photo paper in different colors of oxides, very cool
👍🏻😘
Good rule of thumb is light on dark... Dark on light.. or matched color to color...
👍🏻😘
RE: Ink, if you want to stamp neither the oxide or the the die ink is great. I love the intensity of the dye pads but if you want to dye textiles oxide is the best. The Versafine is WONDERFUL for stamping. Lol, the more you use them the less juicy they will be.
👍🏻😘
The label tag dies work with Ranger Archival ink. It’s the only ink I have found that works. You will love them with this ink.
I will try it 👍🏻😘
Margareth, invest in a sizzix magnetic platform, to use with your dies, you place the die on the platform and then use them over and over until you make as many as you want. I put the die down cutting side up and then the paper, it works great. Hope it works for you.
Great idea, thanks 👍🏻😊
Archival Brilliance Moonlight White is a lovely white ink. Good for stamping. (I love white on craft.) Picket Fence oxide, not so good, but fine for stenciling.
Thanks for the tip 👍🏻😘
I use scotch glue stick it’s permanent and holds good.I buy it on Amazon.the matte medium is great to apply on a glossy picture then when it dries it’s matte and not shiny.
Great tip, thanks 🥰
Here i the USA I can get the small makeup brush at the dollar store for $1.25!
👍🏻😁
To get a slot that is just the right size use your small hole punch to punch two holes the right distance apart then use your craft knife to cut the slot in between. I do this to make the Tim Holtz style slot pockets too. Then you can make whatever size you need or whatever shape you want.
Great tip 👍🏻😘
Maybe try coloring the troublesome label die with your markers? I do mine that way and it is perfect! 🤍🤍🤍 ps: also try dusting your sticky stamp set with corn starch before use. It helps!
Will try it 👍🏻🥰
Yes, I was about to suggest the same but with baby powder. Corn starch is anyway something that coul bring little fly..and we work with paper..so I think better the baby powder. But.. anyway..
@@mariaveronicastatuti962 Yeah, baby powder might work, too. Will keep that in mind! 🦋
For the label dies from Tim Holtz, clean them with alcohol first. I did not have much luck with Distress inks, but if I used VersaFine ink with the Tim Holtz Brayer it works pretty good. You need to go over it several times with the ink and just view it to make sure you have good coverage before die cutting.
Thanks 👍🏻😊
Use the StazOn for stamping on acetate. I like buying the oxides, and the inks in the minis. Hero arts and Lawnfawn have nice white pigment inks.
Thanks ☺️👍🏻😘
Distress “Oxides” is a fusion of pigment and dye ink, is opaque, and oxidizes with water. Distress “inks” are dye inks and are translucent. Neither Distress oxides or inks are great for stamping. They are best used for inking techniques. Love your channel. Happy New Year!
👍🏻😘 Happy new year 🥰
Margreth I just got the whale tale punch, love it. I have many of the same punches, dies that you have. I think the letter, number dies are a lot of work. A plate would of been better. You are right about art glitter glue being the best. Don’t leave the top off it for very long or it gunks up. I love this video. I also enjoyed your 2 Q,A videos, recommended it to my friend, she loved it. Usually you can’t go wrong with Tim holtz products, except the ones that have 25 or 30 pieces, they’re too Fiddly. Thanks for sharing.
👍🏻😘
Thanks
Amazon sell the ek circle punch size 2.5 and 3 inch
I put my Fabritac in a Sugar Belle icing bottle and have no more issues with clogging or thickening!
Those bottles are nowhere to be found over here 😉
Ik ben je pas een weekje terug gaan volgen, en had eerst niet eens door dat je uit Nederland kwam! Zelf maak ik geen junk journals enzo, maar maak graag kaarten en doosjes. Maar dan op de "nette" manier, zonder junk. Doordat ik Elizabeth Craft Design een mooi merk vindt, kwam ik ook uit bij jou.
In deze video vertel je dat er stempeltjes van ECD blijven plakken aan het papier, waardoor je ze niet meer ging gebruiken. Ik wist dat ik pas ergens een video had gezien waarin dat ter sprake kwam. Dus ik net een boel ECD video's bekeken, maar het kwam er niet in voor. Tot ik net een video van jou bekeek, met de leuke tickets van ECD. Haha, daarin vertelde je dat Devid je de tip had gegeven om de stempel niet schoon te maken, waardoor ze minder gaan plakken. Misschien ga je nu de retro labels wel weer gebruiken!
Hoi, leuk dat je kijkt 😁 de tip van Devid werkt 👍🏻
This was very helpful.
👍🏻😘
Absolutely loved this informative video. It’s great for beginners. 💯👍🏼🥰 You introduced me to new products.
👍🏻😁
May I suggest that you use the brayer to spread paint on a surface, not too thinly, THEN dip your label dies on to that before cutting. I think that may work better.
That sounds messy 😂 so much works . 🤣👍🏻😘
I’m in total agreement with you lovey! What a year we have had together! Happy New Year to you and Tim! Looking forward to 2023! 😊❤️🇦🇺xxx
Thanks sweetheart, happy new year lovey 🥰
hi Margareth. I'm new to the game and have learned so much with your videos. Thank you. I love the clear storage envelopes that you store your materials in. Would you mind sharing how and where to purchase these? Thank you, Marnie. USA
Hi Marnie , I got them from Doe@ding in the Netherlands. 😊👍🏻
Margareth, I do not understand the language. Would you please give me the word to search for it? Thank you, Marnie @@SevenplazaCreative
Just watched this, only started scrapbooking in March came across you and love your video. Respect your opinions and loved your top20 which is very useful. Thank you
Love this video! White-Hero Arts Unicorn. Favorite part that made me giggle- “and now I’m afraid to use it” Agree-Art Glitter Glue is the best
😂👍🏻🥰
What? Drippy didn't make your top 20? He must have come in a close one at #21, LOL! I agree with your assessment of the label dies - why bother when it is faster to cut labels with your scissors? Thanks for all of your hard work this past year and congratulations on how far you have come in just 11 months. I discovered your channel about two months ago and I'm hooked. I'm trying to catch up on your earlier videos on weekends just to get my daily dose of you and your sense of humor!
Thank you so much Ellen 🥰
Drippy has an honorable mention 😜
Thank you!!! I watched the whole video in one sitting . 😂
I feel like you saved me a ton of money and heart aches ❤
Mission accomplished 😂👍🏻😘
