Ranger's pigment ink that is...
Here's a fun tip...
tim showed us how to color his trim with distress re-inkers...
I changed it up & used my fav
butterscotch re-inker.
It's simple...
moisten the trim with water...
drop it in a sandwich bag...
and add 3 or 4 drops of the re-inker...
seal the bag...and squish it around...
pull it out & let it dry...
now you have a perfectly coordinated trim that is a perfect match for any of Ranger's pigment inks...
just what I like...
good looking & simple...
if you don't have the re-inker yet, just tap the pad on the trim & follow the instructions...
and speaking of ink...
YIPPEE!
the magic bars have arrived...
you will be totally amazed @ how effective they are...
after a 7 hour demo day @ CHA, my fingers were really saturated with ink & I thought that was the real test for the scrubbie...
I LOVE it...
it also makes a great guy gift...
think stocking stuffer...(get it ??red & green?)
it takes off grease too...
Rick now has his own magic bar...
just add some soap & water to your hands & scrub with Ranger's Craft Scrubbie...
like magic, you'll have clean hands...
and one more thing...
just got an email that my Clearly for Art has been restocked...get it now if you need it!
the art parts sampler pack is back too...
and they also have a set with all tim's new distress stickles...
and the new Ranger Perfect Pearls mists will be added over the weekend...
well... I better quit & go USE that Craft Scrubbie...
Have a good one...
I hope you can shop &
make art!
wendy

ReplyDeleteOf course I read to the end - wouldn't want to miss anything! I can't wait to get my hands on one of those scrubbies and I wouldn't mind having some of your stamps too!
ReplyDeleteSusan
I tried dying some trim with my reinker...going for a tea stain look and it just didn't work. I'm so happy you posted this, and off to try...I'm sure I'll have better success!!
ReplyDeleteLove the matching trim tip and read to the very end! Also look forward to getting Clearly for Art, the sample leaves you made up are awesome.
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence, I have a new stamp rack that needs filling!
ReplyDeleteI always read right to the end... even the time you posted it and the comments and labels and everything.. so cos I do all that.. and cos I have got THE inkiest hands ever... and haven't got a Scrubbie (yet LOL) *Hels layers it on with a trowel* I think that a nice set of stamps would find a loverly home here in my Room of Stash... whatcha fink???
ReplyDeleteHey, I LOVE that trim.. haven't got those re-inkers... am thinking.. .will they work with Distress Re-Inkers.. .only one way to find out.. I will be back *said with an Arnie Schwartze-wotsit voice* ... have a FAB evening and weekend hun xx
cor Blimey... I am not fibbing when I say my word verification then was...
ReplyDeleteSCRULOOS... mmm, think someone is trying to tell me something... ROFL this time it is boring ... BONKAS
*I made that last bit up LOL*
The ending is always where the good stg is! Thanks for all the inspriation and I love love the scrubber and the inking idea! YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour trim looks absolutely gorgeous!! I need me a scrubbie...having a two year old I really want my hands clean when doing up her food etc. and even though the ink may not be toxic...still I prefer it off my hands before handling her food!
ReplyDeleteOf course we read right till the end silly
Read to the end??? I read it twice usually! Can never get enough. I'd love a new set of stamps, thank you Miss Wendy!

ABSOLUTELY READ ALL THE WAY TO THE END...ALWAYS!!! Have a wonderful weekend, Wendy!
ReplyDeleteAlways read to the end! :) Got my hands on a craft scrubbie last weekend - those things ROCK!
ReplyDeleteI read every word Wendy!!! That trim looks awesome, I think I need to go shopping!! Have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteOF COURSE we read to the end.... my scrubbie is already on the way! but I'm dying for the perfect pearl mists - preorder with the I WANT IT ALL option.... tick tick tick... are they here YET? :D Patience....
ReplyDeleteToo funny...love the use of the super little font to see if we're paying attention.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
been waiting for the craft scrubbie
ReplyDeleteforever! Now, when will the craft sheet by the yard b available?!
the ribbon is beautiful!
ReplyDeletelol, Yes, I too read to the bottom! Thank for the chance to win a set of your stamps! Thank you!! :)
ReplyDeleteThat butterscotch trim is a beauty!
ReplyDeleteI have a nice home for ....uh , stamps... here in MD- I'm just saying.... Surrounded by some other friendly stamps... You know, in case that stamp set needs a new home... LOL!
Carol
What good does reading your posts do if you don't read all of it?! LOVE butterscotch:)
ReplyDeleteNow I am craving butterscotch candy (and ink), it looks so yummy. Wondering if the scrubbie also leaves your hand smooth.
ReplyDeleteso glad to hear Clearly for Art and art parts are back in stock...and now...i need about 5 craft scrubbies...stat! heehee!
ReplyDeleteOk Wendy..they always say the end is the best part, and i agree especially when something is said about a stamp set needs a new home..........well, this house welcomes anything ........i just picked up 2 scrubbies,,,,,thought i was crazy but i got an extra one for the bag on the road.........is there any special way to store these, ,,,,,,like maybe a soap box that has holes for air......well kiddo, have a good one........by the way, how is your brother doing these days, have not heard anything about his progress after you gave his shot...............take care, hugs,
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!!! I've been doing this plus adding water if I want a lighter color but not in a ziploc. I get my hands all grungy!!! Which brings me to your next thing, I can't wait until I can get my hands on one of those scrubbies!!!
ReplyDeleteOH, to play with new stamps...
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific idea for dyeing trim. I am forever dyeing things and going through elaborate Rit, Koolaid, coffee, tea...in other words, all sorts of concoctions to dye ribbon. This looks so quick and easy and makes it possible to pull things together. Thanks for the great hint...Suz/Katsui
ReplyDeleteI have some trim that could be dyed; this would be nicer than tea or coffee grounds. And color-coordinated to boot! I could definitely use a magic scrubbie. Who needs nail polish if I just keep my hands turned palms up...much more colorful than plain old nail polish! lol
ReplyDeleteMust read EVERYTHING you write, Wendy, cuz, you know, making art is in the details! I love that the craft scrubbie is available, and also the perfect pearls mists are coming soon (yay!), and that you can color the trim with any re-inker, and that your clearly art parts are back in stock and that one of your stamp sets needs a new home :) Have fun this weekend, dear lady ~
ReplyDeleteJudi
We read every last drop! Thanks for the tips. Love your new stamps, just got your binders and working on "Making some Art" with them.
ReplyDeleteSue B.

I love, love all of your stamps! And your work. And your attitude about art. Art should be fun and sometimes for no reason and you pass that on so well. I don't have any of your stamps yet, gotta save up. Just sayin...
ReplyDeleteDid I read at the end of your post that a certain something was needing a home. well.... here's wishing.
ReplyDeleteLove that colour as well
Of course I read to the end! I usually read your posts at least twice. Thanks for the ideas on coloring the trims! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI always read to the bottom...after all that is where you go to leave a COMMENT! What a great idea for coloring trim - gotta try that one. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI just started inking with pigment inks. I will try to dye with it too. I read your blog everyday. Sometimes I check it more then once.
ReplyDeleteSue

ReplyDeletehilly77 at comcast dot net
Of course I read to the end, and all the tiny print etc. Love your posts and that trim is absolutely "da bomb"!!!!
ReplyDeleteI would like to nominate myself as a good caregiver for stamps that need a new home!! My black lab was a "hand-me-down" from a family from church. My 83-year old mother has moved in with me in the last 3 months (though I'm not sure I care to characterize THAT situation as "hand-me-down"!!) Just saying.....
ReplyDeleteGotta find that clear stuff & the scrubbie thing. Your samples of the clear were just too cool!
ReplyDeleteNeed a couple of those scrubbies for sure. Glad it works for guys too! Thanks for the tip on the trims.
ReplyDeleteOf course I read to the end of your post even the small print. I have to see how you use make art, it's like the "Good Night Gracie" of Blog Land. Now about those stamps....
ReplyDeleteI have a wonderful stamping/crafting room with very friendly stamps just looking for that special set to join us for inky fun. Your stamps in need of home would feel loved and welcomed!
I LOVE how that trim turned out!
ReplyDeleteThat scrubbie is on my "must have" list too.
Homeless stamps...does it get any sadder then that?
What a fantastic idea. Must try it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
I have a home that needs some new stamps, I'm just saying!
ReplyDeleteFooled you....all of us read to the end!

ReplyDeleteGreat to see you today even though it was very brief.
thanks for telling us about a new way to use reinker. I need to get the scrubbie. And of course I'd love another stamp set. Like shoes, you never can have too many!
ReplyDeleteYes I read to the end. Cool way to use the reinker. I'm going to have to give that a go.
ReplyDeleteI do need to find that scrubby. I always get totally inky before some business or formal function...
Wendy -
ReplyDeleteI'm so hurt that you think I would not read to the end of your blog entry - boo hoo. Your blog is the most interesting one for me to read (well look at). Why? because I get such a kick out of all the different font sizes and colors you use. They are like window dressing for your blog, like bits of bling that pop out at you!
I've ordered your Art Parts and Clearly for Arts. Can't wait to get my hands on them!
Elaine Allen
You're funny. Of course, I read to the end! Now, do I really NEED to bring a homeless set of stamps home?...You betcha! (And I really DO need to bring one of those scrubbies home. Associates at work are wondering just what I'm doing at home when they see my inky fingers.)
ReplyDeleteAll you followers read to the end ... can't wait to get my hands on a scrubbie (no pun intended) ... I have used the reinkers in the bag to cover other ribbons and even seam binding .. works great ... love your postings as I learn so much ... thanks for sharing
