    Great product for frequently used items (23 April 2021)

    This is a great spinner. My only wish is that the spot to hold things on the top was taller so I could add my frequently used pens.

    so soft (09 October 2020)

    I got this to use for an advent tag calendar. The ribbon is so soft and it is not velvety on the backside so you can easily glue it down.

    nuvo holder (19 August 2020)

    I have really liked this holder, it keeps my nuvo drops organised and upside down. it seems to take up a lot of space but i don't think it does. i like this a lot. I would get more one day when if i get more nuvo drops.

    great organiser (19 August 2020)

    I got this to organize my little girls pens and markers. we have paintbrushes in the top, markers and gel pens in the top square, the middle square coloured pencils and regular pencils and the bottoms is for glue sticks and scissors and whatever washi tape is lying around.

    stamps are getting better protection (19 August 2020)

    I only ordered 5 of these, I was not sure what stamps would fit in these but i found all my Altenew stamps fit perfectly in these pockets. so now all my stamps are neatly organised. :) now I just need more to have all my stamps protected

    FANTASTIC (04 August 2020)

    I love these. I got these to put my Stampers Anonymous stamps in. they do require some cutting, but once they are in they fit in there great. i'm less worried about the stamps falling off/out. Some of those little stamps make me nervous. i'm going to need to get some more to put my art impressions watercolour stamps in.

    yay (04 August 2020)

    I use this colour a lot. i never thought i would, but now it is time for the reinker. I love a freshly inked pad. I use an old credit card to get the ink into the felt once I put a layer of ink on the surface.

    I love this ink colour, i never thought I would ever use it and here I am buying the ink refil for my ink pad. I use an old credit card to get the ink into the felt once I put a layer of ink on the surface.

    yay! (04 August 2020)

    I'm beyond thrilled to have my peacock feathers ink pad re-inked. Its a colour I end up using a lot. so i'm happy. I use an old credit card to press the ink into the pad once I've applied ink to the surface of the inkpad.

    LOVE this colour (04 August 2020)

    I've been buying the glazes slowly to make sure I bu what i need or will use. this color is gorgeous once you heat it.



  • Verified Buyer

    these are great replacements (04 August 2020)

    I got these to replace a nozzle on one of my mica sprays. it came without the little clear piece in the sprayer so it would just sputter out everywhere. these work great in those little bottles. I cut the straw but I don't think you need to.

    Fantastic colour (13 June 2020)

    This colour is beautiful in spray stain.

    I should have bought 2 (13 June 2020)

    I use antique linen a lot, It was finally time to get thr spray stain. This is my first spray stain, I have some oxide sprays. I only buy the colours I use, this one I should have bought 2, I've used this so much already and it's only been a week. It works so well in pretty cards/journal pages, but also works well with grunge.



  • Verified Buyer

    So pretty in a glaze (13 June 2020)

    I love the glazes from TH, this one is no exception. I've been buying each glaze a couple at a time. This is my 6th one and its beautiful, I love antique linen in every medium tim has. I use it a lot.

    You never know what you will get (13 June 2020)

    I love this colour, it's a great "you never know what you're going to get" colour. I like the spray, I have all the oxide ink pads, frayed burlap creates a wonderful green brown oxide when it's used. I love it, it's great grunge and texture.

    Best stamp ever (13 June 2020)

    The sentiments are similar to the chipboard quotes from Tim holtz. I stamped the whole stamp and cut them apart with my trimmer. These are great sentiments to have on hand for anything you need to make. I make cards, art journal and creat vignette boxes so these will be so handy.

    The best part is the stamp come apart so you don't have to stamp it all together. I'm very happy with this stamp. It also makes a great background stamp.

    Love this (26 May 2020)

    Since this is gesso based I love this even more. Its wonderful to work with, it dries reatively fast here here in the Pacific Northwest. Under 30 minutes. I like applying it with my finger to things. But for stencils I use spatula type tools called catalyst from Printon art supplies.
    This does something similar to Tim's texture paste, it takes colour really well and when sprayed with water, the paste releases the color of you dab it with a paper towel.

    Grit paste is my new favourite (26 May 2020)

    This creates some wonderful texture. I use it in cards, my art journal and for making cool boxes and vignettes. Using thos with distress embossing glaze is something very special.

    Love this mat (26 May 2020)

    I use this on my media mat, but I also love using it when I craft elsewhere. It peels up and is so nice that it doesn't move around. This replaces the one I got with my media mat, I abused my original one, i not sure how i got holes in it. But I use it until it was curling and wouldn't wash flat. I had to use masking tape to keep the corners down from so much use. Now I know how to care for my mat batter. But these Mats are AWESOME!

    Great texture (26 May 2020)

    I havent used this on a card yet, but it is so much fun to ink and play with, with distress inks. I used some distress refresher to make it flexible and it feels kind of like leather now, it's amazing stuff. The back is flat so you can glue it down and write on it. I bought this thinking it was the 4.24x5.5 sheets buts it's the big sheets, so it was a nice surprise.

    Great tool (26 May 2020)

    This has been such a great tool to use with alcohol inks. I use to use a straw and it would get condensation in it and then drip onto my yupo. This has been such a joy to use, and no need to breath in alcohol fumes.



  • Verified Buyer

    So pretty (26 May 2020)

    This stuff is so pretty and so easy to spread through a stencil. Its cracks and adds such a beautiful texture and prettiness to anything. I only got the gold to try it out, I'm guessing it would be stunning in every colour.



  • Verified Buyer

    Such beautiful texture (26 May 2020)

    This 3d folder makes me so happy. Every detail is so perfect. The back is also just as beautiful. Don't hesitate to get this folder.



  • Verified Buyer

    I love this stuff (26 May 2020)

    I love this stuff. I now have the grey and the linen. Without heating this one there is an iridescence/ sparkle to the mousse. It's beautiful. Once you heat it and it expands it's a Matt finish.



  • Verified Buyer

    YES!YES!YES (11 May 2020)

    transparent embossing powder, how have we lived for so long without it. this creates a wonderful dimension to projects that I don't think many of us realized was an option. This blue is awesome. Its my favourite and most used Colour in the distress line. I only have 3 glaze colours but I know i'm going to need to get the rest before more come out.



  • Verified Buyer

    AMAZING- use it (11 May 2020)

    I love using this. I wanted to only put it on special projects and then I watched one of Tims videos and He said you're just wasting it if you're hoarding it. so now I use it A LOT!!! with all the videos Tim has put out and techniques using it with embossing glaze I have used this a lot lately on cards and journal pages, and even on a picture frame. I like the new jar size, and it is full to the lid.



  • Verified Buyer

    Love this size (11 May 2020)

    I'm so glad this is in a bottle this size now. I use this a lot. even though I have the jar. It's so handy to apply just a little to an embellishment or small items, or lumpy texture backgrounds. I think i'll be converting to this for all my card making from now on.

    Only collage glue I use (11 May 2020)

    I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!
    the jar I got was the newer package design, same awesome glue. it dries so fast, its easy to apply. it glues metal and plastic and makes a nice seal over my collages. I use it in my Bible for bible journaling. it is amazing stuff.



  • Verified Buyer

    amazing (11 May 2020)

    I love this texture paste. Tim has an amazing texture product, I like that i can lift colour off of the texture paste. I love that I can colour it after i have applied it. it dries really quickly at least in my environment so I am happy. This is my second jar, I never thought I would get through my first jar, I'm glad Tim made the jars smaller. Ranger filled the container, it is full to the top.

    Such fun texture (29 February 2020)

    I have other nuvo drops so I figured these would be a good addition to my stash. It really does look like stone. I'm impressed. I haven't used it on a card yet but it's fun to have on hand for more texture.



  • Verified Buyer

    This stuff is awesome (29 February 2020)

    I got this for my resource binder, and oh boy am I glad I did, this stuff is awesome. I make cards and do mixed media. This is like embossing, it's the same satisfying feeling when you heat it up and it expands. It creates beautiful texture and it's fun to watch.
    The thicker you apply it the more texture it creates. I only got this colour but I feel like I'm going to need more colours.



  • Verified Buyer

    So pretty (29 February 2020)

    I got this since I didn't have any pretty pastes. This is gorgeous. I think my favourite way to use it is just to spread it on cardstock. It's a beautiful gold shimmer.
    The seal is a pain in the butt to get off so you will get messy when you open the jar.

    great crayons (18 February 2020)

    I have only ever used Tim's crayons, so I cannot compare these to other crayons out there but i do love that you can wind up the pigment. and they are so nice to hold. I have the storage tin and its perfect to dig through.



  • Verified Buyer

    great spray storage (18 February 2020)

    I love this tin, I love all of Tim's storage tins. I think I have them all.



  • Verified Buyer

    they are okay (18 February 2020)

    I really wanted to love these. I have been using them with Catherine Pooler inks on cards and in art journals. the foam is interesting, its very different from the ranger foams. the black velcro part is coming off just like the ranger ones so there they are the same. using these on rough/textured surfaces is a bad idea. i used mine on some texture paste and it roughed it up pretty badly and scratches my ink pads so I have to dab to get the ink on the foam. all in all I love the handles, but i'm not crazy about the foams.



  • A must have in your stash (24 December 2019)

    I had the whole set of distress ink but I had to try these to see what the fuss was. These are so different from anything else out there on the market. Its definitely worth getting the colours you use often.



  • Verified Buyer

    No line (09 December 2019)

    I love no line watercolour, and I think my mini ink pad was getting dry. I wish the bottles were the same size as the oxide bottles but that's mostly because I will only have 1 refill in the distress line.



  • Verified Buyer

    Love these (09 December 2019)

    I love these inks. This is my favourite colour and what started me on the spa colours. I'm so excited to finally have this and the other few I bought from the spa collection.



  • Verified Buyer

    So pretty (09 December 2019)

    This is a pretty paper pad. I like that the backside is simple and the front of each page is busy or pictures to cut apart.



  • Verified Buyer

    Not bad (09 December 2019)

    I got these to go on my Tim Holtz blending tool, no where could I find if the size was the same so I bought some anyway. These are a bit smaller than the ranger ones. The sponge feels similar. I get similar results. The loop post of the velcro is stronger on these which had been my biggest annoyance with the new design ranger foams. I'm not completely sold on these yet, but they work well.



  • Verified Buyer

    Love it (09 December 2019)

    This is my favourite colour of distress oxide. I. Not sure how I didn't need it sooner. I just buy refills as I need them, these are great.



  • Verified Buyer

    Great storage (09 December 2019)

    I had my crayons in a little pouch and it was frustrating. This little tin is awesome, just like all the other Tim Holtz tins. It really is so much easier to find what you're looking for. I don't have every colour so my tin isn't full. But so handy and it looks nice.
