Distress Ink 101: The Many Uses of Distress Ink 

Your trick of storing each colors blending sponge in the base of the ink pad is genius. What a great idea.

I really appreciated your video because you showed us something no one else has shown: that you can store the pad under the ink so you can reuse it another day. All the other RU-vidrs show using a fresh pad each time which is a very expensive way to go about it. Thank you for your honesty.

I love the use of laminating paper. I have a laminating machine. So this is another use I can use it for. Thank you!

Glad I came across your video. Was wondering about the different ways one could use distress inks.

Thank you for all of these great tips! I just bought my first set of distress inks, and can't wait to try some of your techniques out.

THANK YOU! I’ve been having trouble getting the right look with my distress inks and water - your paper towel trick has finally given me what I was looking for. Much appreciated!

Invaluable stuff here. Didn't even think of half of these. Thank you so much.

very informative. thank you. I just purchased all the packs and didn't realize how spotty they would stamp. Wasn't expecting. thsnks for the tip with the versmark.

This is by far one of the most informative video on Distress Ink I have come across. Awesome!😊

Loved all of your techniques

Thank you for all of your videos on You Tube! I'm enjoying watching & learning from them!!

I am new to distress inks. Bought my first set today for bible journaling. I’m excited to start using them. Thanks for a great tutorial. 💕

Great intro to these inks! Thank you!

Just found your video , love how you painted with the distress inks and the heat embossing, looks like I'm going shopping !!

Really enjoyed your tutorial of the many uses of distressed inks. I just recently received some and been wanting to figure out a way to use them.

Thank you, full of great tips there, especially that you can use distress ink instead of clear embossing ink. Very economical, saves having to keep so many ink pads going.

Thank you for these tips! Just about to embark on using some distress inks and these tips are brilliant, can’t wait to get started

I did not know you could emboss with distress inks! Enjoyed your video and all the techniques.

Thank you! I've been wanting to learn how to use these inks, and your video gave me lots of great and helpful information!

Hi, I'm fairly new to stamping/crafting & I just got 5 Distress ink mini kits (4 each) & 11 individual regular sized Distress Oxide colors on a mega sale plus I was able to use coupons! Now I know some neat ways to use my inks! Thanks so much for the great tips! Very helpful!!! :)

Thank you so much for the tutorial! Helped me out so much on learning how to do the basics!!

Just learned so much for tips on using the distress inks I already have. This video is why I'm subscribing.

Thank you for showing these techniques I especially liked the embossing with distress ink and how to enhance a stamp by using versa ink. Hope you show some more techniques for crafting soon. ❤💚💙

I learned a lot from you! Thank you so much for taking the time to inform us! Excellent video! TFS😀👍😊

Thank you so much! My church members have asked me to create something to put letters of gratitude to our pastor who has worked tirelessly to keep our congregation together through technology during this time of isolation. I have decided to make a journal that will have not only the letters but also funny FB memes, newspaper headlines and serious reflections. I have a new Dylusions journal but had struggled at what I should do for the cover and also the background color on the pages. Your ideas will work like a charm! THANK YOU SO MUCH! New subscriber

Very very very useful! Thank you and cheers from Italy 😊

Really enjoyed your video. Can’t wait to get started!

Thanks for all different ideas

Great video, very clear and helpful. Thankyou.

Thank you SO much for the tip of using Versamark with distress ink for stamping! I've not seen or heard that before, and I've lately been pricing dye inks for stamping, and egads it's expensive to get a decent set, yet I have quite a lot of the distress inks already. You've saved me a ton of money for the time being! :)

Thank you for this, some really cool simple techniques to get started with these inks, I understand how to use them now 😄

Thank You so much for that message, that's very helpful.

Thank you this is brilliant. I just got distress inks so wanted to refresh my memory of the different techniques and you have shown all of them.

Great ideas!! Thank you!! I am just starting out and I had no idea I could do some of these things.

This is the first video I've seen on distress ink and it is so fabulous. You did a wonderful job, now I just need to run out and get started. Your instruction was great. Thanks for sharing. Love PegEgg

Thankyou for all you're teaching us.

I have several squares of distress ink. I Just got supplies to be able to do embossing,and only got 1ink pad for it. Glad to see I can use distress inks. Now will get more use out of them. Have to try all this. Lol thanks for showing.

thank you for all your good tips and ideas

Brilliant video Needed this as i was planning to buy distress inks Thank you so much

Great ideas! I just got several colors last night and now I've got lots of ideas for them! Thanks. :-)

Great idea to have the laminated paper under your cardstock for blending? Thank you!

This was so awesome. Especially the versa mark. I have a versamark ink pad and have been disappointed for a while at how the distress inks stamp blotchy. I’m going to try your method and see if it helps! Also, keeping the foams under the mini ink pads! Mind blown. 🤯

Great video, very helpful!

Very informative. Thank you

Great ideas, thank you! I just bought a ton during black Friday

Thank you, you saved me money and time and are so inspiring

Awesome video! Thanks!

Thank you do much for your time and the video.

Terrific editing

great video for a beginner like me. thank you 💖

Thankyou for a very imformative video.

Thank you for your tips!

I like these inks and use them all the time and they are great. 👍🏻🦋

Great ideas thanks for the share a small tip for you I personally do not use the flat ranger tool for blending flat colours on a background I use one that is dome shaped by Nuvo but I think ranger have the domes also now so you can just purcahse some of those for your handle its much easier to not get a large blob on your background if you use that shape of tool. Also Tim Holtz says with backgrounds when using the pick up technique if you dont like it let it dry and redip it.

Thank you. Very helpful

Very informative thank you

Wow! Thank you great video!

I love this video, as I wanted to color my work but don't have the budget to buy all kinds of stuff. Thank you for showing what can be done with a set of distress ink pads and a few basic tools. That card is so pretty. Umm, a suggestion. Could you put links to where we can purchase the tools shown in the video?. I would think mostly Amazon, which would be great if I could purchase them there.

Great ideas

I like your tric using versamark ink in combination with the distress ink for stamping! I was looking for more coloured inkpads, but now I saw your tric I won't have to buy more. Because I already have all the distress inks. :-D Thanks!

I was getting ready to toss these in the trash. Thanks! I didn't realize that a light touch was needed when applying

very nice tutorial video !

Fab. Great that there’s no background music.

Hi thanks for all the info! Do I need to clean the pad after working with the distress ink?

Loved it ... thank you!!!

Ty so much for this video! Exactly what I needed :-) !

You can also use regular crayola markers to paint like you do with the inks. They’re quite vibrant.

Enjoyed your video

I just found your video. I wanted to use ink distress for backgrounds in my coloring books.

New to stamping. Just gifted a stamping platform which I'll use to compensate for some dexterity challenges. Any more ultra-practical tips or work-arounds? Thanks for this video

Thank you so helpful 😊
