This is one of the coolest projects I’ve ever seen you do.

[@lauraflinn2686]

I love the colors and design of these coins!

[@socal65]

I am making these using stamps with Asian writing backgounds .One has a butterfly and the other a dragonfly. Thanks for this lesson.

[@naturesbestart3288]

Wonderful techniques, so creative - so nice of you to want to share your work with others. How fun.

[@ceciliasawyer2432]

This is exactly what I love. Thanks for sharing this.

[@jankitteringham8483]

Wow, these are stunning Lindsay! 💓

[@marilyntodd3776]

Simply gorgeous!

[@nancyloomis3046]

Just seeing this now...I also love the Distress Oxides that can be used like paint (very sparingly) but what’s so great is that Ranger makes the refills so available. Some stamp ink producers don’t. It’s easy to find online retailers that sell them. And I love these coins...such a nice little thing to trade (never done that) or just makes a good remembrance kind of gift or even a special sort of “business card” to give away. If I made them for special promotion, I would make a lot, but not quite as fancy as what you’re showing...certainly not with anything very dimensional or glittery. Great idea. Thanks!

[@Abbie7301]

Gorgeous❣️I enjoy watching you create. You make beautiful art .

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

Very fun project. I use to belong to a group that traded ATC’s every three months. Loved hosting it and I love each of my cards. Would love to do the same with the coins. Thanks for sharing.

[@lechat8736]

These are so pretty. And the glitter is pure heaven :)

[@flychk1229]

Adorable!

[@BarbaraMerryGeng]

That was so fun. 🥰 I like the idea of circle shape trading cards. 🤩 Hope to meet you one day at a craft show. 👬 Happy Crafting 🎒

[@ebyn77]

I love everything about these~! the colour, the embossing blobs, everything just looked gorgeous!

[@ellenschmidt3005]

These trading coins are great and look like a lot of fun to make! Wish I were going to that show; I'd trade with you!

[@Scizor03]

These coins are so beautiful 😍

[@barbaranorris2358]

LOVE your artwork. These are beautiful, and glad for the tip about mixing the oxides with gesso!

[@carried9130]

Love the techniques you used in these. I really had no idea you could do this with the distress oxides. I wasn't really interested in them for stamping but for backgrounds-they do some very cool things. These came out gorgeous!!

[@pokey3010]

Fun fun fun!! Love this!

[@sharonmiller9096]

Just Magnificently Beautiful, Love Butterflies 💜🦋

Very beautiful

[@deborahrusignuolo7612]

These came out very pretty thank you for sharing.

[@tammyoneill6128]

You are so creative! Just love your ideas and how perky you are! You bright my day!

[@julieanntorrens5548]

Absolutely stunning! Those trading coins are adorable. I can see tucking them in journal pockets, using them as gift tags or stringing them together and dangling them from a journal closure. Thank you again for all the time and talent you share with us. 🎨😍💕

[@tiasmom6225]

I love the circle coins, Lindsay! I also like your idea of using the reinkers as paint. Have a great time at the stamp show and I know there will be a lot of people wanting to trade with you. ❤️🌹

[@mariawhiddon]

These are all so pretty! I love that stamp!

[@angeladear9237]

Gorgeous trading coins. I started making them about a year ago and I’m hooked. Thanks for sharing this great video..

[@taracreatestoo6388]

Just purchased that stamp. These coins are beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration : ]

[@cassiescreations9828]

I love these - so pretty and so my style! Great background stamp!

[@MossCottageMarket]

Great video. I just love how these coins turned out. So inspiring! Blessings, Helen

[@jeannel1065]

[@created2bless322]

I want a jelly plate! You had too much fun, love these creative uses for the special inks and refills. Thank you!

[@jaustin2927]

I’m sure you will have crowds wanting to trade coins with you.....I wish I was going. Have fun and TFS these wonderful ATCs

[@kidsinnovationweareawesome]

These are super adorable 😍 Thanks for sharing

[@suzyhayden8643]

I love these.. but also love that you showed how to use the Gelli plate ... I have struggled with the acrylic paints becoming to heavy and muddied cause they mix together.. When you mentioned that the Distressed inks don't do that I am encouraged to try the Gelli plate methods again.

[@ChristinaFurnerWebber]

These coins are so amazing!! TYFS Very cool!!

[@JOURNALSAESTHETICSByAditiBadwe]

Simply stunning..loved watching this video thank you for sharing xoxo

[@lindaeastment4542]

Hi Lindsay 👋 loved the projects u demonstrated all so pretty thanks for sharing looking forward to watching your next lovely tutorial .....have a Fab week Lin in South Wales uk 🦋x🌻

[@K_rye]

I never thought to use the reinkers that way. I'll be trying it soon. I find myself using the distress oxides all the time. I like the colors and the way you can stamp with it or color a background. I'm also going to trying melting embossing powder in a spoon. It's a lovely effect and I have more embossing powder than I will ever need. Love how you have used the stamp. The coins are terrific. Hope to see you at the show next week.

[@olderendirt]

Very fun idea!

[@phyllismarony8948]

Wow, these turned out great. Can't wait for you to go to the art show so you can share the details with us. 😘

[@tracykiske7758]

Great project.

[@4BarbaraJ]

Love these!

[@angb1923]

I love these!!! 😍

[@tuberdawn]

Beautiful project! If you mix fine glitter into embossing powder first, then melt, that works really well.

[@deemerci7020]

Beautiful coin trading 😍

[@tammythomas5498]

Love these! Thanks for sharing . Your so awesome :)

[@patriciakuiperdegroot6984]

Beauuuuuuutiful!!!!!

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

These are so pretty! I am in a swap and really wasn’t sure how to decorate. I don’t have any oxides but I bet I could get the same effect with water colors or water based inks or even water based markers and spray with water. I’ve done basically the same thing with act cards but didn’t use Gesso. I can’t wait to try this. TFS.

[@1000Interessen]

Only great. Fantastic idea and work. Love it!!!! Best wishes from Austria 1000 Interessen DIY Like like, Like!!

[@Emmaandlucy743]

Lovely thank you for sharing your talents

[@Cards4Cancer]

I had never seen these coins before. I love this idea. Wish I could trade with you in person. If you ever come near Atlanta let me know. I just might have to ignore Dr's instructions to stay on bed rest and come see you.

[@Molczan352]

Awe, I wish it was closer, I'd totally trade artist cards or coins with you!

[@SammiJarrad]

I would absolutely trade with you! They’re beautiful. Tfs! 😁💜👍🏻

[@jeanniedreemer1944]

Lindsay, so funny, I also do these! I love them and they will go no problem! Yours are much different than mine but I love yours way more!! I never thought to stamp on them. Hope you don’t mind if I try that. I will credit you! Amazing job!

[@alisabarott]

So fun!

[@jennywilliams4793]

So fun!!

[@MasBAMBANG.]

I love Vidio. Good luck

[@rachellucasbertschartandst9008]

Seriously why the thumbs down.. I loved this thank you

[@iamdawt]

These are so lovely! Oxides are magical, aren't they?

[@EsteeDarla]

love it

[@donutplanetstudio8866]

dope!

[@susanjerrell9220]

To get an AT Coin from you would be, well, it would be framed for sure!

[@hopelynnd]

I love those coins! ❤️to trade with you.

[@EstherThompson55]

Lindsey I love your round cards! Thanks so much for sharing!!! I ordered the foam stamps right away! I couldn't get the background stamp but I was able to get the mixed media set. I have a question.....how do you get the foam stamps to stick to the acrylic stamping block? Also, I would absolutely love to trade with you!!!

[@loke-art7383]

Wow❤️

[@HeidiLilley]

Lindsey, If you have a card leftover, I'd love to trade a card with you through the mail!!! I've made a few I'm fairly proud of, and would love to have one of yours. TFS your techniques, I'm always learning from you.

[@barbaraholzmann946]

Amazing trading Coins Lindsay! Not sure if you listed the artist trading coin die cuts? where do they come from?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Top flight, they are linked in the supply list. They are made from mdf board.

[@Susanna79.]

Would that gesso you used be available in Australia? They look awesome btw ☺️💜

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I'm not sure if that brand is but you can use any thick gesso.

[@PEPSIKERR]

I learned something new. Using gesso with rinkers. Can this mixture be used on rocks? ( Thinking ahead for summer kids crafts)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Yes but apply an outdoor clear sealer when you are done to protect it as it will not be as durable as normal acrylics

[@beckyb4074]

One more question, would a piece of plexi glass work for brayer paint projects, if you don't have a jelli plate?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Sure but a Styrofoam tray works better

[@ZannidoMuse]

I sometimes mix glitter with mod podge and it keeps the sparkle so Im guessing sealing with mod podge wouldn't mess with the sparkle

[@thefrugalcrafter]

The water in mod podge may lift the distress oxide.

[@Elizabeth45840]

What do you put in the winka Stella brush to refill it?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

The first time just water as there are enough sparkles left. After that add some clear mica and water

[@Elizabeth45840]

@@thefrugalcrafter Thank you! Whoever gets to trade with you are going to be very lucky!

[@lesleykuhn8345]

We're making them in in polymer clay at PCTV/Createalong.com! So much fun!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Sounds fun! What a great idea!

[@esmesjitters1849]

How do you seal dioxide inks?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I use a clear spray paint like krylon matte sealer

[@esmesjitters1849]

@@thefrugalcrafter thank you

[@beckyb4074]

Did you only have to paint one coat of the gesso from Jerry's Artarama

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Yes, it's really thick and opaque
