Tim Holtz Shares Tips and Tricks for Using Distress Crayons at Scrapbook.com

[@alexisverbic4509]

I bought Distress Crayons three years ago and never used them. Today I said, enough - you are going to do a project with them. So, I came on KZbin and found this video. I am so excited!!! Thank yoou so much for so many different ways to use them! Limitedless!

[@eileenfitzgerald8509]

I love these! My only concern is that water or dampness dissolves the ink. Is there a fixative for these crayons?

[@kerryevans3695]

I continue to be amazed by Tim's salesmanship!! So good at what he does!!

[@noreenjohnson6619]

Loved this video. I have had them forever and not used them. With the start of the new year, this video will get me started. Thanks so much.

[@mamapillow8365]

I've watched this video more than once and I still find it helpful, thanks.

[@KatieHaley-o1g]

Fantastic tutorial on Distress Crayons! Thank you!!

[@lauramartin7300]

I bought a bunch of these. Haven't played yet cause I wasn't sure where to start. So watching several videos to help. Thank you for your help. Hope to play with them tomorrow. Getting some ideas. TY again..

[@theOmega989]

I love all the Distress products! Super fun!

[@scrapbook]

We love them too! :D

[@assilemisawesome]

Ooh. Never seen the metallic ones before! Nice 🙂

[@angelaf5040]

Love this guy and ALL his products! Love Mario too!

[@Lauraisabelgonzalezart]

That man is a FREAKING GENIUS...sorry the loudness but it's so true! And in person....so down to earth and humble!

[@TheKathleensUTube]

Thank you so much; for the great tutorial videos and the line itself. I am loving the pigments and how vibrant they are! xxoo

[@susanyee1]

Just what I needed! I waited too long to add water! Thanks!

[@rinavogels4262]

I already bought them, now I know how to use them 😅 The softness is so great. Thanks a lot for your tutorial ❤

[@comoxdragonfly]

you have the greatest job ever ! :P i have about 50 of these so far and love love love working with them on my wood laser projects...the colours are so beautiful and they blend wonderfully

[@leoniepreece1784]

Hi,I am Leonie from Cambridge, New Zealand. Love it. ❤️ ❣️🥂

[@hopehamborsky7570]

Okay just love your products and watch you cuz I learned so much, but today I am kind of glad my sniffer was working because I was watching you and being so intrigued that I almost forgot about my supper on the stove. So much humidity in PA that I get a sinus head cold all the time.

[@sonialynnstation9905]

Very exciting! Can not not wait to explore!!!!

[@bobetteparker8583]

Thank you, you just made up my mind, I am buying them.

[@jennylittlefield3293]

I agree with Christine’s comment below. U should be teaching. Every time u demo a product I have to get it. U r really a great teacher. I love your products. Probably best out there. Thank u for all u do!

[@christinedavies336]

Having attended one of Tim's workshops I can confirm he is an amazing teacher of mixed media - full of knowledge of what will work and why and if not how to make it work the next time! Yes, 'he could sell sand to an Arab' but it goes deeper than that, much, much deeper - he teaches from the heart and at everyone's pace - that's such a talent these days!

[@baboo7192]

I just got some of these distress crayons and yet I’ve haven’t played with them yet, so I had to find this video and now I’m super excited. I can’t wait to play with them.

[@apocalypse_frau]

I’m grateful for this demo. I don’t have any of the sets yet, because I was misinformed and thought that they’d be too similar to oil pastels to captivate my curiosity. I’m glad you’ve set me straight-if you hear a rustling sound, that’s the crayons flying off the shelves and cash flying out of my wallet. 🤟 💸💸💸

[@scrapbook]

LOL...you are too funny. Glad you enjoyed the video and learned something new. Enjoy your new treasures. Thanks for watching.

[@catherinewingfield-yeatts]

Thanks Tim! I didn't know distress crayons existed until the other day. I'm glad I found your video on how to use them.

[@zulmabontiffe487]

Just what I needed to see !!! THANK YOU SO MUCH . I just received both CRAYON markers AND the DISTRESS markers in all the colors. I started collecting your stencils, stamps, inks and whatever else I would need last year... I so INTO this craft and it was so nice to finally see your face. Thank you so much for the simplicity of the video ESPECIALLY NO HORRIBLE, NOISEY, DISTRACTING , "MAKE ME WANT TO SCREAM" music.... so NOT NEEDED. I think your products are of fine quality and the colors are FALALALALA. I AM LOVING IT TIM. :):):)

[@Naria4210]

You make it easier to know what I can do with my crayons. I appreciate you showing us how to use your products. Thank you again!!!

[@nancyfitch4789]

This demonstration was so interesting and helpful! Thanks!❤

[@keelyandhercrazywheatenter573]

What an amazing product! Crayons and inks look like a lot of fun and so versatile. I think a crafter could really get their money’s worth from all the products. Props to you Tim, you doing a great job presenting your products and seem genuinely enthusiastic about them. You have a nice speaking voice, of course very knowledgeable about the product and speed of delivery makes for a pleasant and comprehensive tutorial. I think you’re kind of a big deal, I am a freak about everything your name is on! Regards, keely henson Murrieta CA.

[@cynthiaprosperie960]

Just rec some of my crayons love them , have to watch video first to understand the Crayon first . I Love Love watching u , the way u are with crayon .

Tim I love your products, and I am going to get some of these crayons. I also LOVE your fabrics. They are such high quality and I love the designs. I am making a hexie quilt right now with some of them. I also like your tutorials. You are just a nice, likable guy. Here is one old lady who hopes to see you teach in person some day.

[@MsSuperklutz]

[@scrapbook]

So exciting! We hope you love them! :D

[@brianacpratt]

Thanks so much for these refresher videos. I have not yet broken into my crayons and have a bunch of oxide inks on the way, so it's time for some fun! You really are amazing Tim and your work brightens my life 😊

[@scrapbook]

Thank for watching. Bust those crayons open and start creating! You'll be glad you did!! ;)

[@mdempsey7128]

It would be great if we could bring the empty crayon tubes back to the craft store for the manufacturer could recycle them. :)

[@MaAllen417]

I love to use them as storage for scraps of paper or embelishments.

[@lorieduff7126]

Or get a refill

[@PeacockPigment]

Yes to this!!

[@jimmiesewell3953]

Or Better Yet We Can Get Refills!

[@leeojascastro711]

Or get them refilled, since we’ve wasted so much on the baby wipes 😅

[@juliebattistel143]

This as fantastic and so informative ❤️❤️❤️thank you Tim 🥰🥰🥰

[@Crafty-xy4or]

I love the distress crayons! Some of the regular colors work on black cardstock as well not all but some and its pretty cool looking too.

[@pattylovescrafting5544]

I got a few sets and wish I could get them all. I’m not an artist and have very little experience with inks in any form but these crayons make me feel like I know what I’m doing and I’m an awesome artist, lol. Thanks Tim.

[@jrumulls-jana9368]

Thank you for showing how to use the crayons! I think I can do that! Love the boldness of the colors!

[@cynthiaowens1639]

I just got a set tonight and can’t wait to use it!

[@scrapbook]

We can't wait to see everything you create with them Cynthia! 😊

[@amandastanush7522]

[@memecottrill]

[@suesweetpea7]

I just started using your distress inks and love them so far, but have never tried using your distress crayons. I will have to try these later when funds are more readily available. Love your products so far.

[@beautybug1831]

So inspirational (and most of all, so SIMPLE & FUN)! Btw, I think the metalic crayons can be wonderful as WAX SEAL HIGHLIGHTERS 🤔💭 Aren't they?!

[@bethmiller4266]

Rocks my crafting brain, Tim. 🔥

[@scrapbook]

He does the same thing for us too! It's always a pleasure when Tim comes to film.

[@WendyColeArt]

Fantastic demo and product, thank you!

[@OnePeacefulMind_2024]

[@KH-lt3he]

Thank you, Tim. I enjoy your videos and learn a lot by your techniques. I love the smaller sized stencils, but haven’t seen them in “PV”stores. I am collecting a nice collection of your products.

[@Moonlava722]

I wish Mr. Holtz was my neighbor so I could borrow stuff!

[@PurpleCottageCrafts]

Thanks Tim for another fabulous tutorial. I’m definitely breaking out my Distress Crayons tomorrow💕

[@jillrobinson6908]

[@fayneilly833]

[@koyosensebe8027]

Lovely tutorial!

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much, I really really appreciate your time and effort. I have some distress crayons 🖍 and I really really love 💕 the effects you can get with them. xxx Mags

[@patcyzauskas7216]

I purchased some over a yr ago but have not used them. Guess I should get them out and play.

[@staceycooper1634]

Pat Cyzauskas Me, too. Now I know what to do with them!

[@donnawilliams-i7b]

Love the distress line. Question? My crayons are so dry is there a way to revitalize these?

[@Veronim78]

Great tips. Thank you for sharing.

[@MyCardArt]

Very good video and super informative 🦋👍🏻

[@ssharp11]

Great tutorial!!! Thank you so much. Wishing you a super week. Hugs Susan

[@christinedavies336]

YAY! This is where you NEED to be Timmy Boyo (a Welsh word for someone you hold in high regard/are very fond of) - on the front-line - teaching and demoing - not hid away in some pokey industrial / science lab! Wondering if 'Scrapbook.com' would take a fifty- something year old woman on for work experience under your tutourage - is that even a word? I've been told to take myself off on an adventure - passport at the ready.......

[@craftylittlerthings]

I wish I had never seen this video, every time I watch one of your videos.....I want! Oh yes I so want these distress crayons, only thing is I’d have to sell my soul to get them, oh well there is always my birthday or Christmas, both a while off but so worth waiting for!

[@missvickie1975]

Souls are overrated! Just take my money, take my soul, i don't care, just gimme distress crayons ;-)

[@memekendall3197]

Have to ask, Did you get your distress crayons for Christmas or anything fun to craft? Hope so 😀.

[@dorismikolajczak5278]

I feel your pain. I never paid attention to these crayons before, now I want them.

[@craftylittlerthings]

@@memekendall3197 No I got money but was ill so couldn’t order anything, got into resin after I was better, but still have money to spend to get them, yay!

[@donajones5772]

Every holiday all I ask for is art supplies. Love it all!

[@Debzkick]

Do they ever dry on a mod podge surface do you have to seal it? And what do you seal it with? Marvelous tutorial.

[@gagatoots807]

That's what I would like to know too

[@pewpewcat7679]

I'm assuming you have to use fixative with these. They seem to be a bit oil based. I haven't played enough with mine yet but my thought is I'll have to seal with a spray to be on the safe side or else it looks like it will just rub off

[@sinjinn797]

PewPewCat they dry after awhile

[@jeannebeam3042]

Great tips. Thanks

[@lauramiller6294]

so glad you did this video. I have several sets but just didnt know i could use them like this. YAH

[@bmk5529]

Thank you. I love them!

[@Misslullu]

Amazing!!

[@hauntibles]

Some good tips here. Thanks!

[@nancyprobst6311]

Very cool!

[@cherylms11]

Thank you- love your videos I buy the products and don’t know how to use them correctly.

[@thecreativecountrycrafter]

How long does it take them to complete dry or set on a completed project?

[@MsCurliegirlie]

Wow going to buy more today! ☺️💕

[@PEPSIKERR]

I love this. TFS a video.

[@harpreetrandhawa1604]

It seems so easy ..u are brilliant..just want to ask if we can use these colours on modpodged surface ...like wood ..glass etc ....

[@blackitten2]

Love this tutorial! Thanks for sharing.

[@msjen024]

will these ever set? thank you

[@maryjordan7649]

Where do you obtain your stencil? I have gelatos etc and find them hard to use. May look into the distressed crayons. I've never found a good source of stencils....would love to use nonpaper ones that tear easily. Informative video....thanks!

[@OnePeacefulMind_2024]

wonderful wonderful

[@hannaavni]

amazing tutorials!

[@LeaundraRoss]

Love these and now I have to buy them, lol.

[@tinajones4015]

Lovely

[@jonnalantz5345]

Love you ideas

[@edieneil758]

Hi Tim. I’m so late to the party lol. Once dry, can we stamp on the distress crayons, will black ink show up? Thank you for your wonderful products!

[@lynnelively6018]

If you wanted to seal these would you use collage pauge?

[@gerardineholland1357]

Could you use the crayons on gelly plate?

[@creativekp9326]

Cam we then seal on tip of the crayon surface? I don't want to give someone a messy tag
