[@barbaracilley8200]

Your cards are striking. Thoroughly enjoyed all the techniques you demonstrated. I am going to watch this video again to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Thank you.

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Awesome!

[@rondamarie5952]

Thank you Kristina for opening up a whole new world!!! I loved both of your videos. Thank you Simon Says for offering these 5 days, it was a wonderful way to open numerous new techniques. Hope we have additional fun weeks!!!

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Yay! We love that your horizons have been expanded! Enjoy making some shaped and 3D cards!

[@czdesign]

The Distress Glaze trick blew my mind. Must try!

[@K.Taylor56]

Same here!! That’s a wow moment!!

[@SimonSaysStamp]

It's like MAGIC!!

[@cropnkathy]

Right!? Crazy Cool 😎.

[@rhondanicholson889]

Hope you have that on your next video, Cathy . Would love to see more of that. And by the way, love your videos. Watch all the time.

[@mjngltn]

@@rhondanicholson889 second that!

[@jafountain3177]

Kristina, I had to stop the video and comment, the second panel was absolutely gorgeous! You are a master at blending. I am sure I have seen some many of these techniques before, however it was such an amazing video with a wide variety of different things to get my oxides out and try again. Thank you, for such an amazing video!!! As Cathy Z said you blew my mind in a couple of ways!! 😊🙌👏👏👏

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Terrific! Kristina is a master and so great to learn from!

[@shellyt9620]

Oh my goodness, these are so beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@wendyzilli9735]

Thank you for sharing!! These are FABULOUS tips!!! Wow!!

[@rhondahunter8939]

Love this tutorial and I learned lots. I actually watched this video twice. Thank you Kristina.

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Terrific!

[@dking1362]

So fantastic! You have shown more truly NEW and different ways to use oxides (especially combined with other products) in a single video than in a month of watching elsewhere! I love the "watercolor" look especially, but I can't wait to play with these new techniques! Thanks so much.

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Our pleasure!

[@divyaruth3563]

I don’t have words! Amazing. Longer videos from you are always welcome.

[@SimonSaysStamp]

You are so kind!

[@alisonneet3251]

So very exciting!

[@bookgoddess]

I love these Simon Says Stamp, 5 Ways in 5 Days videos. This one has lots of great tips but make sure to watch all the way to the end because seeing the finished cards brings everything together in a very satisfying way. They are beautiful!

[@SimonSaysStamp]

You are so right, Teressa! Glad you enjoyed the classes!

[@janethock4043]

At first I didn't like the cards but, the way you put them on the cards I loved them. Great job. Janet Hockenberry

[@nancyyoder6898]

YOU are the winner of Best Prize ever video demo! Your examples showed depth, dimension & nearly a 3-D effect! Christina, I felt ur excitement, encouragement, & love for crafting! Thank you! Blessings to you!

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Kristina really is a wonderful creator and teacher!

[@kellyjoskreations]

That Microglaze is INCREDIBLE!!! Thank you for enabling me. I’m adding this to my list of next purchases. 🐾❤️

[@SimonSaysStamp]

It's so amazing!

[@MsLouisVee]

😺😹😹

[@waboosje]

Me too😂

[@Taitcreates639]

Kristina, you blew me away, couldn’t take notes fast enough. Every time I save a video, can never find it again on my channel. Brilliant techniques, love the resist-spray one the best. Tfs, Blessings!

[@SimonSaysStamp]

We hope you come back and watch again when you have a chance! All of these are in our 5 Ways in 5 Days playlist.

[@lissettelong5077]

Micro glaze was cool. Would love to see finished cards with distress oxide techniques.

[@sacconner]

Outstanding! I tried the Distress Resist spray and found out that my nozzle was only giving me a stream. Replaced the entire spray mechanism and it was fine. All of your work, Kristina, was simply beautiful! Thank you for all the tips on ink blending, which I struggle with!

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Hope you can use the tips going forward!

[@trish6655]

Learned so much from this video. Now to start playing.

[@lindakitto8979]

Really useful tutorial. It’s nice to see something that’s at another level. Thank you. Linda in UK

[@SimonSaysStamp]

"At another level" is high praise! Thanks, Linda!

[@msl3900]

Love it Sweet girl. I'm a Utah girl also living temporarily in N.W.MONTANA. way too cold here. Not as many sunny days as Utah. I was in Bountiful up against the mountain. Saving this vid to repeat the effects on my projects.

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Enjoy! We've got several designers in Utah!

[@laurieclark859]

Wonderful cards! All are so beautiful.. can't wait to make all of them! They are perfect! Who in the world thumbs down this? Weirdos 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Yay! Have a blast!

[@carolestrawn8755]

Very, very cool video and techniques. I especially loved the one with the flowers though all are great. The use of the micro glaze to get rid of the chalkiness of the Oxides really blew me away.

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Kristina has such great ideas!

[@sugarhillcrafter1044]

So beautiful, Kristina,

[@expressivepaper]

Great video!!!

[@vickicervantes1817]

I've actually have done the Alcohol Paper trick with the Destress Oxide Inks and the Destress Glaze! I thought ok this works with the Alcohol Inks so I'm trying the Destress Oxide Inks, with using Destress Oxide Inks I always put the Glaze on top of the finished card to hold in the ink without destroying my cardand I was blown away❤😊❣ But me being a Nobody I didn't know how to post it. Kristen all of ideas are so Amazing and beautiful cards! You totally inspire me all the time. Thank You so much for sharing with all of us. Sending Love, Hugs and Blessings to you and your Sweetheart. XOXO Vicki from the State of Utah ❤😊❣

[@SimonSaysStamp]

You're not a nobody to us!!

[@coolstamper]

I’ve done the same technique on photo paper and the chalkiness just wipes off with a tissue and leaves the same effect in the end. You really don’t need the Micro Glaze. 💕🌸💕

[@kimharbaugh]

I do that too, works beautifully!

[@bookgoddess]

Thank you for the tip on using photo paper. I didn't have the alcohol ink paper, but I do have the Distress Micro Glaze. I tried it with and without the glaze. It comes out more lustrous with the glaze, I think. I'm psyched you can use photo paper though.

[@coolstamper]

@@bookgoddess Yes…I’ve seen videos on using distress oxides on photo paper and it works GREAT. I have the glaze too…I purchased it before I knew about the photo paper. But I’ve also heard it doesn’t work on all photo paper, but it works on mine. I make my background and when completed I just buff it with a tissue and it’s awesome!!! 💕

[@ADayInLisasLife3947]

Keep a eye open in thrift stores. There are usually lots of photo paper packs in the office section.

[@AbbyAvon]

I bought this item and to date had not used it. however, thanks to this tutorial, I'll be using it all the time. Thanks for the share!

[@kathylawrencelopez9027]

This was a wonderful video. Thank you for all the great ideas!! And I could listen to your voice all day!

[@renaewolford3270]

Amazing! Fantastic! You are truly Inspiring! Thank you...

She's a powerhouse of ideas!

[@Sylvia.Torres]

Awesome techniques!! ❤ Thanks Kristina!

[@trudievick2359]

Thank you thank you. I've had the resist spray for a while and to be honest forgot what I bought it for. So many new techniques to try. Thanks for sharing.

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Enjoy, Trudie!

[@Melanie_CraftMama]

Lol, same here! 😃

[@MsLouisVee]

Me too the other day I was so frustrated because I thought I was spraying white paint over my work and it just kept disappearing now I know why

[@bookgoddess]

Ditto for the resist spray and the distress micro glaze. I've had them forever and didn't remember what I could do with them.

[@patticallihan8515]

Kristina, such a great video to watch and learn from. I’m so sorry I did not watch it sooner hun. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us.❤️❤️❤️

[@ruth6511]

[@MajicInOz]

Amazing as always Kristina!

[@idaloo62]

I LOVE your creativity! Very inspiring!!!🤗

[@leeminer1939]

VERY cool! On the gel press I could see you were channeling your inner Braque. All the techniques were cool and I even like the one I thought I wasn't going to like but of course it was terrific by the time you were done too (the floral background). Thank you Kristina (and Simon) for this great lesson.

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Very nice artsy reference! We're impressed!

[@K.Taylor56]

I’m super excited to play with my Micro Glaze and Resist Spray. I’ve obviously not played with them enough!! Love these techniques !!

[@barbaralassiter259]

Fantastic video!

[@barbaracilley8200]

I love the Micro Glaze. The paper comes to life.

[@annesturgeon5399]

Kristina this was an amazing trip.... love all the backgrounds and I definitely want to try the gel press. SSS has created such a fun week and I am so enjoying everyone's video. Thanks so much for this!

[@SimonSaysStamp]

We're so glad to hear it, Anne!

[@patsternburg8737]

I made my own gel press years ago. Google it !

[@kimcreate1]

So great. Love that you can use oxides on glossy paper. And that glaze is WOW

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Isn't that a cool trick!?

[@rosearthur.spiritheart]

Like your watch strap.

[@lindalincks6187]

Fantastic video Kristina! That micro glaze technique is so cool! Loved all the ideas!

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Glad it got your creative juices flowing!

[@bjuracek21]

Ooooooooooo, I NEED the micro glaze! Thank you Kristina for this great video! 🌈

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Ha! Yes you do!!

[@lorimcgarrity6537]

beautiful as always. I saw a lady do the technique of wiping down the color on gloss cardstock. It's amazing the difference in the look isn't it? Sometimes I just prefer doing my oxides on gloss cardstock. It's just amazing to me the difference between pieces when you polish one up.

[@DancesWifHooves]

My mind is BLOWN! Thanks so much for this GREAT tips and tricks distress oxide video! Now I want to buy even more colors... :)

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Yay! They are so fun to use!

[@pennyrau6615]

Thank you so much for these tips! Can't wait to go play with my distress oxides

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

Great techniques and beautiful cards.

[@norinemueller4588]

Great tips as always thank you

[@debbiebrewington7635]

Thank you so much for all the tips. The oxide is my all time favorite it’s so forgiving, but you’ve taken it to a whole new level! Thank you!

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Glad you learned some new tricks!

[@Jan-dm7wj]

Awesome cards!

[@stephanieloughead4479]

What an amazing video. Thank you so much for the tips on ink blending. I absolutely love the micro gel.

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Have fun!

[@MsSony12345]

Those are so beautiful..I love that spray effect at the beginning! I didn't have the micro glaze ..I used baby wipes after I dipped into the oxide inks and it gave me the same effect

[@lynnel.1083]

I have resist spray and micro glaze, and had no idea what to do with either. Thanks for an informative video. 😊

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Ooooh, pull them out, Lynzey!

[@joanngirimonte9349]

I really enjoyed this video. So many beautiful techniques. Thank you Kristina🌺

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Glad you learned some new tricks!

[@amy4birds645]

Great tips!

[@martinarett3460]

Love the Gel Press!

[@nancyandjohnrodeberg1788]

Love the Distress Glaze and Distress Resist Spray tips. Both new to me and would love to play with those techniques! Great tips!

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Oooh, have a ball!

[@carolfrazer8067]

You can make your own Distress Spray. I use 3 ounces of Distilled Water and 1 ounce of Thick Mod Podge. In a spray bottle. Glue All also works, but not Elmer's school glue. The reason why the Ranger Distress Resist doesn't come off of surfaces is because there is a clear lacquer in the mix.

[@CraftyKiwiMama]

Gorgeous creations and fabulous techniques xoxo

[@traceybennett8546]

Beautiful cards and I alway like refreshers on all the things you can do with distress inks! Thanks for sharing!

[@SimonSaysStamp]
