I have been a Tim Holtz fan since the beginning. Watching you demo is like watching a magic show! You and Mario are amazing! Looking forward to all the upcoming lives. Thanks for sharing your talents and for spreading positivity! 🤩👍😍
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARIO !!!!!!! Thank you for letting us get to know you, and all the happiness and joy you bring to Tim’s lives-demos and all of our lives(lifes) . To see you is to love you!🥰 ❤❤❤.
Wowza! Right off the bat, that rainbow background with the black distressed tree silhouette stamp inspired me. I will be able to feed off of this video master class for the next year and beyond. So much to learn and do and play! Thank you so much for providing this amazing content for us for free!
Replay crew here in the UK, Already ordered some new bits for alcohol ink play Thank you Tim, Mario for all your hard work, information, ideas and inspiration. As for timestamps, thank you for taking the time 😉 😜 to do these they are so helpful for someone like me who goes backwards and forwards for either inspiration or information, makes life so much easier and leaves me more time to play ❤
Today I learned why my inks are always sticky! Thanks for the tip about drying them with cool air. I just ordered my new travel dryer with a cool setting, and it's foldable for my suitcase for easy travel. Dual usage! Yay! It is always so fascinating to watch you play with the alcohol inks & it reminds me of why I had to have them all. I also like the tip about putting paper over a piece you are cutting with the trimmer. How many times I've had to clean the guard! Thanks for another great tutorial.
I am watching on replay and cannot find the link for the shaker. It is a must have!!!! Thank you for the pearls explanation…so helpful!!!! Love the new colors!!! Saving this for future reference. Gonna play and make my bestie a bday card with the alcohol inks. So excited!!!!
I learnt so much from this video. And I made sure I took notes to refer back to at a later stage. Thank you so much Tim..... the more I watch when you demo new products the more I am learning... and I have been scrapbooking, stamping and the like for a few decades now. I am still learning .. each and every time. So a huge thank you!!! Your products are the best in my opinion.... so keep up the great work!!
It’s been a long time since I’ve played with alcohol ink, so I appreciate the review- for me, some of it was new! It’s been a LONG time! My bottles are all the old labels.
If you only knew how many people love your products and say send anything by Tim Holtz! I’m active at swap-bot and say it’s easily over 100 fans of yours over there. And I feel the same way! Sometimes I forget how to optimize your products so these tutorials really help me stay on track!
Hi Tim - I'd like to thank you for explaining how to use the Pearls. I have been using it wrong each time and I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Like, I would use the rubbing alcohol first and then bring in the blending solution after but I was stuck with ugly chunky monkeys. LOL But I want you to know I've never put down the pearls... I know the products you put out are always amazing. And now, I have finally learned what I've been doing wrong. Thank you! You and the products are awesome as always. Hugs ❤
TY for doing these lives. I truly enjoy watching and rewatching them, and each time I learn something new. Your lives give me the courage to try new techniques. ❤
No matter how many times I watch the demos...I learn something new. Proves you can teach an old dog new tricks. You are admired by many and that is what counts most.
This month is only second time I’ve worked with alcohol inks. I made 40 backgrounds for my Mr Bones cards. I used Black and Mushroom inks. Have to admit bout 1/3 I wasn’t fond of but put them all aside and will take another look. I really like the separation of the colors. I’m putting a die cut Raven on the tombstone so need area for him not to be too dark. Mr bones will be dangling a mouse so his area needs to be dark. This is why I watched this video for the 3d time. LOL. I found a idea-ology bouquet to put flowers at graveside. Now need to rewatch video on method for coloring the flowers. My card making skills have advanced so much over the past 5 yrs thanks to you! My first 10 yrs was simply stamping, watercoloring and mounting on printed paper. Found Dyan n loved her bright paints n sprays 2017 then your products. Once I started die cutting, life changed. There is a RARE day that goes by that I’m not crafting. Sometimes only 30 min, other days 8-10 hr. Thanks for sharing your talent and time with us crafty peeps!! Thx Mario for keeping Tim on a sugar high for our “lives”.
Thank you very much for showing the bottle shaker - who knew! Your kindness is always there. I’ll give everyone another suggestion: Gloves in a Bottle - hand cream, apply before using inks and wash hands after and no staining, beats wearing gloves!
Thank you for showing us the mixing gadget it's weird. I thought to myself, does tim have carpel tunnel, as I have the worst carpel tunnel going and gadgets like that are a game changer. Loving your products, life would be poop without you, Tim.
I've had alcohol inks for years but haven't used them in quite a long time. Thanks Tim, this video has me so keen to try some of the lovely techniques and hopefully get some of the great results you achieved.
Thank you Tim and Mario for the creative magic and inspiration of the live demos and play.I love the new colours, Bayou is a stunning colour and Smudge for the win!.(Matt) Am definitely going to invest in some lift ink and experiment in my mixed media work.Happy Birthday Mario,have a fab day
Finally got to grab a bit more time to watch the last of the demo … thank you so much for the time stamps!!! Fabulous, informative and remind full of tips as always! Best demonstrator in the business!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I appreciate all the knowledge you passed on to us on this video. I take notes during your videos, & put with those products. That's me doing me. You are so inspirational! ❤
Thank you so much for sharing the nail polish shaker gadget. I can actually trigger a headache by shaking bottles so this will be a game changer! I can now buy ALL the distress shakety shakes now!! Wahooo.
Thank you, thank you, thank you🥳 I enjoy your demos more than I can express. You blow my mind🤯 All your information, gives me so much inspiration. Much gratitude, doll☮️
I want to thank you for the many free demos that you do. I don't craft as much as I used to and it's so nice to be able to watch these as refreshers. Thanks for the tip on using the Crop-o-Dile to punch holes in the Yupo. I also have the Big Bite, so I'm going to have to try it.
I'm happy to see what works to blend the pearls. I've always used them almost as an accent, splattering them on top of other backgrounds, and I think they look beautiful like that, esp. on black craft plastic. But I have had that weird, separating effect, and never knew why. Thanks Tim!
Even though I don’t use alcohol inks very often I caught the replay just to watch your demo! Your love for what you’re doing shines through and no matter what kind of day I’m having I feel more positive and calm by the end. I ❤Halloween and am looking forward to seeing what the makers came up with. They always do great things!
Just brillant, and happy belated Birthday Mario!!! The hours fly no matter how long. If I can I turn the video on while I am doing something else or watch it in parts. Most grateful for the detail you provide on how to use the products. I have followed your career since you launched the Distress Inks. Lots of hard work. Congratulations and thanks for all the wonders you brought for us. 💖💖💖
I've been waiting for you to do a long video on how to use alcohol inks. I've learn so many new things, especially with using the alcohol lift ink. I have a small collection of alcohol inks and plan to use more after watching this video. Thanks so much , you guys are the best!! 🥰
Totally awsome going thru the colour swatches -oooih always ma most dav thing on every product colour mode you create❤️❤️❤️lettuce oregano but the new 'grunge' wow 😲. 👏🏼👏🏽👏🏿👏🏽👏🏼👏🏽
Thanks so much, Tim, for a great demo. So much information! I was thinking that it was like a great class - for free! My new colors are ordered and I’m excited to get them in my hands.
I finished watching the whooooole video and had so much fun with you. I learned so so much. You are amazing! I won’t freak my freak but am ready to enjoy the process!!
You were at a demo table in Arlington TX when I first saw you demo. You still have the same energy and enthusiasm that you did then, 30 some years ago. Fewer rings, though. Love ya.
Amazing new colors, loved your demo. I keep forgetting all the techniques so nice refresher. That black is amazing. Gonna do some playing. Thanks again, Tim, Mario and Ranger.
Watched the outro and I've been planning my card drive makes. Kinda scared. Kinda excited. Already waiting on more sizzix sets I decided I needed, as well as some new vault items. Now, I'm all excited for even more new sets! It was a blah weekend. Thanks for making it great!
Fantastic video!!! I learned so much from this - just wish it had been around when I first started with AI about a year ago. I agree with you about the Pitch Black…it’s my fave! But I will be getting some Mushroom very soon. Thanks so much for sharing your immense knowledge!!! 🤩🤩🤩
