Distress Ink 101: The Many Uses of Distress Ink

[@andreajohnsMyPotteryBliss]

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

[@mariabarnet9011]

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 KZbinrs show using a fresh pad each time which is a very expensive way to go about it. Thank you for your honesty.

[@doryhousel9301]

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. 💕

[@SonShine007]

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!!! :)

[@susanhamilton3212]

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.

[@SharitCreations]

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

[@wendygan8213]

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

[@janine.e.y.e.]

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!

[@bluecurlygirl]

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

[@hazelgratton5857]

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

[@mmemonarch]

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

[@lauramartin7300]

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.

[@Justanne77]

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. ❤💚💙

[@deborahbloom7429]

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.

[@Honeybee1975..]

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

[@Kittyluver226]

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.

[@matkinmom98]

This video is amazing. Saved me sooo much of my sanity. Thank you!!

[@julielynn1070]

Love this. Thanks for sharing. Just got my first set of distress ink!!

[@alrivas84]

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.

[@moosedawg71]

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! :)

[@triciaconner291]

Great intro to these inks! Thank you!

[@brendamerchant7921]

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

[@susanthompson6803]

I learned so much! ❤️ Thank you for all of your great ideas!

[@kitdubhran2968]

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. 🤯

[@lesleyhiggin475]

This is wonderful, I’m only just starting to branch out into other mediums. Your video makes me feel I CAN do it, thank you

[@Judylou09]

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

[@joannedonovan9489]

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

[@lizford2498]

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

[@MyCardArt]

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

[@CraigsOverijse]

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.

[@colleencrownhart7762]

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

[@saragravina3199]

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.

[@paulad2527]

I just bought my first set of Distress Inks. Great info! Thanks!

[@mariaantoniou7090]

Paula DeVoy do they sell them by set or just one by one?..:)

[@evaroset9376]

ΜΑΡΙΑ ΑΝΤΩΝΙΟΥ as far as I know you can only get the minis in a set of 4, but the regular size I don’t think you can, hope I could help! :)

[@bluecurlygirl]

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

[@janmitchell9584]

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

[@RecraftedByCarol]

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

[@lisawik7234]

[@gabbyg561]

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.

[@WendysCraftDen]

Thank you for sharing this video. I bought quite a few of these little ink pads and thought I could stamp with them but i'm getting blotchy results I will try your method of versamark ink after i finish my lunch. xxxxWendy

[@nescofiets]

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!

[@TheRindyrae]

Really enjoyed your information!

[@brawyn777]

I bought my first little set at Michaels but i didn't get the dabber what else could i use? A small sponge like a make-up sponge? Would that work

[@diannerobert3822]

very nice tutorial video !

[@jackieworthington6892]

Thank you so much love your video xxx

[@geraldinebecher7702]

Thank you do much for your time and the video.

[@DinjaDONUT]

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

[@cyanadejesus8195]

Beautiful. It looks like the same thing I do with Arteza watercolor pens. I can't see myself wasting money on all these Distress Ink stamps. That stresses me out. 😂😂😂l

[@evamooney2953]

In the original image what's the name of the colour that's 2 rows down and 2 rows across in the tin on the right

[@cindysamp1510]

Can you tell me what Avery Elle stamp you're using around minute marker 6:30 of this video? Thanks

[@catherined.2872]

Loved it ... thank you!!!

[@marywilkinson3018]

Thank you. Very helpful

[@luvmorrisey20]

I don't have embossing ink, can I use Distress Oxide or Archival Ink to emboss?

[@sweettcreated681]

Great video, thank you for the great tips!

[@AimzS94]

I find that if I don't actually press quite heavily with the blending tool I barely get any colour at all - who knows where I'm going wrong..! Great video, easy to follow - thanks!

[@julieprince77]

you do have to keep adding more ink to build it up. But if you have had your pads for a while and used up all the ink, then you may need a refill. If the ink simply dried up and isnt getting onto your dabbers, then you may need to refresh the ink pad. if you dont know how to refresh the ink pad, google how to refresh my ink pad. basically you go buy a refresher and add it to your ink, I have never had to do it yet, but i know people who have had to.

[@lilybecerra2035]

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

[@biancaletourneau2530]

Hi, Where do you take these package with ink? Thank you

[@betsymcgovern4204]

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

[@chrisf5659]

Can we embossing after using distress oxide ? ( with the pen first and embossing in gold and then put the distress )

[@beverlys6796]

do you used special paper for the water color look (like water color paper) or will plain card stock work

[@sharilynwagner8394]

Thank you for sharing! How fun! How are you supposed to store these inks?

[@christopherseba5937]

Do you have to use card stock, I've tried using mixed media paper and it doesn't look anything like how your card stock looks, I'm trying to come up with own translucent background but still be able to ad detailed colors on top🤔
