Awesome Tip Kelly about reusing empty wink of stellas and thanks for showing me how to get the new one going.!!!

[@randallperry9127]

I just threw a few dry ones away but not the next one! Thank you!, Love the humor in your videos😉

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

OMG Kelly. I just got my first Wink of Stella so it's not empty yet but I will definitely try this out. Thanks so much. 😊

[@RubyCluff]

Epic ideas... and I'm crying because of the Wink of Stella empty's I threw away.... LOVE that CARD!!!

[@KellyAcheson]

Don't fret - just save them from now on! Thanks Ruby!

[@mariamoore6130]

Wow your awesome 👏🏼 thanks for sharing .

[@KellyAcheson]

Thanks Maria!

[@loletagrastley404]

I won't be throwing any more wink of stella away. Awesome ideaGREAT!!

[@phyllisgilmore3970]

this is so fun , Hi from Idaho

[@allenemilystewart6039]

So would you just add glitter to that ink? I saw another tutorial where she used glitter and the floor cleaner that you would use with ornaments.

[@debbieriley8778]

Great Tip! Thank you

[@KellyAcheson]

Thanks Debbie!

[@barbarafuller1122]

Hello Kelly...love this fabulous idea...I have wink of stella pen...but now will not throw anymore away...thank you for sharing such a great idea...you are a gem...cheers from Australia :)

[@joannewalsh6956]

Love my "Wink of Stella" and love your new idea adding color to the empty pen! Thanks

[@pativins8114]

Kelly Thank you for the idea of how to use an empty wink of Stella . I am amazed how long a Wink of Stella pen lasts . I will use your idea.

[@cynthiawotasek379]

I love this idea.. If I wasn't a hobby demonstrator I would join this.

[@mjdaniels8678]

it has a nice shimmer

[@susancousineau841]

I knew how to refill my wink of Stella but never thought of adding color. I 've always bought the colored ones instead. now I can not only save money but I can have the exact colors I want. thanx for the tip!

[@zenylucey9345]

Thanks for sharing the repurposed Wink of Stella and technique!

[@susanloring7641]

how about use it for shimmer paint, also?

[@KellyAcheson]

Oh that's an interesting idea!!!! THANKS Susan!

[@forepaw]

For Shimmer Paint, use a Mister, add alcohol, and 4-5 drops. Shake before misting your project. I keep my mister and the shimmer paint I used together in a little bag.

[@forepaw]

I also spray some on a block and and a paint brush to brush on a project.

[@debbyjensen5688]

I have added water ti an empty Wink of Stella and it worked.

[@ferdigoogle1587]

You can also blend out alcohol markers with rubbing alcohol.

[@marykaylombardo1342]

What a great tip. I will definitely be reusing my pens. Thank You for the tip.

[@susanmiller8459]

What a great idea. I have added alcohol to my wink of stella barrell just to het the residue and get the most for my money, but never dawned on me to add color. Thanks so much!!!

[@fastquilter600]

Kelly....I m a beginning demo in Canada ànd I am envious of your project cards that you send out. And I can't access them. You have created a great idea for your customers and for that I have subscribed so I get some of your talents. Keep on stampin!

[@TerryMolineux]

Kelly I don’t have any empty wink of Stella can I add the reminder to a full one??

[@KellyAcheson]

You sure can.

[@cindybenward182]

Thanks for the fabulous tip and card tip.

[@cjsimplyscraps]

Great video as always. Thanks for the wink of Stella tip. Mine is actually so thick at the bottom it was almost unusable; maybe I’m not a good enough shaker,lol, but now we can fix that. Love your card and your card cards!

[@susanknouse7904]

Awesome card

[@Glorialuvs2stamp]

In your video, you stated, people would ask about the percentage of the alcohol used. My husband picked up a bottle for me that's 91%. I'd never even seen this before, main point being, it works just fine!

[@carolynlatter2752]

thank you so much for such a wonderful tip! Can hardly wait to try this!!

[@lynnbehnke6910]

Could you make your own Wink of Stella with an Aquapainter, alcohol, and shimmer paint?

[@aseal5511]

Can a shimmer eye shadow (bought at the $ store) be added to the wink of stella with the alcohol? I've made the liquid to spray it but maybe it can be added to the barrel?

[@elizabethnetzer5633]

Thanks so much for sharing this great idea! Love the card, too. Blessings from Canada!

[@sandrahiggins7497]

Can you add shimmer paint to it?

[@janetmuir6011]

A great video and idea thank you.

[@diannebaldwin3667]

Hi Kelly thanks for the tips. Would love to be in your techniques club but I live in Australia so it is way out of the question !! lol I will certainly keep watching your posts. Thanks again.

[@cherylcolson4200]

I’m a sorta new demonstrator. I do love your videos, I learn a lot. Do you have a way for demos to get your technique(spelling) samples? Without making an order?

[@ann-mariepare3784]

Thank you so much for that technique. It’s so sad that I leave in Canada and can not be in your technique class

[@judithsigler9644]

Oh, Kelly, I LOVE THIS TIP!! Stampers are such hoarders (I know I am!) and NOW I have another reason to “keep something that I thought was kaput”!!! Plus it’s ecologically a great idea, too, to repurpose a stamping tool!! :-)) THANKS OODLES for sharing this WONDERFUL TIP! BTW, I think the card is “super cool”, too!! PERFECT masculine card which we know are often so challenging to create! :-)). Oh, yeah, n’ I LOVE your “coined words” to describe the stamper’s tools, parts, n’ techniques! ALWAYS brings me a chuckle!! So thanks for that, too! And I always look forward to W..W?? Wednesdays to view your tips! HOORAY! Hoping life in Menasha has quieted down a bit w/snows n’ ice! Take care out there! This gal from Madison, WI TOTALLY can relate! :-)

[@KellyAcheson]

Thanks Judith! I always look forward to your kind comments! We have 4" of snow overnight and it's still coming down!

[@judithsigler9644]

HOLY GEMOLI, MORE SNOW for you folks! I know we’re used to that snow here in WI but ~~~ENOUGH ALREADY! (I was going to give your reply a “thumbs down”.....for the continuing snowfall....but I didn’t want you to think I wasn’t happy with your overall reply! Cuz I am!!) Glad you like to “hear from me”!! OK, so be safe if you’re out n’ about~~~maybe a TERRIFIC DAY to stay in the stampin’ studio??!!! HUGS

[@KellyAcheson]

@@judithsigler9644 I'll be covered in ink today!!!

[@dudelessranch802]

Squeeze less and brush more...it will save your product.

[@KellyAcheson]

Thanks for that tip!

[@cathyveverka8094]

Love, love, love the idea of reusing the Wink of Stella pen to colorize it!! Does more drops of ink make the color deeper/darker? Love the card front too as I love the By the Bay set!! Thx So Much for sharing Kelly!!! :)

[@diannebaldwin3667]

Forgot to mention that I am hobby demonstrator too.

[@jilllancett6113]

I love your videos, they are always so full of great ideas and you are so generous in sharing them. However, I have a tip, before putting the small black ring in your garbage, please cut it in half and put it in the recycling bin instead. By cutting it in half, if it does find it's way to the environment instead of the recycling plant, it can't harm any creatures by getting stuck around their necks. I also do this with any ring-like packaging, from plastic milk cartons, detergent bottles etc. It's such a small thing to do, but it will save our environment as well our fauna. Thanks

[@KellyAcheson]

Great tip Jill - THANKS SO MUCH!

[@ShiraLaya0312]

ABSOLUTELY - I cut up all plastic rings before recycling them

[@jaelynnmatthew2341]

I just wanted to say that I think it's so awesome that you do that! 😊

[@karensstuff6074]

Great idea. Going into practice immediately! (Cutting pkg rings AND reusing WOS)

[@theresatolf9968]

I’d say a nature card rather than masculine. 😍
