Now I know the difference between ink and oxide. I have been wondering for a few years. I bought the ink now I also want the oxide. Thank you Tim for using the brush pens. I am glad they works I bought a set of water brush pens. I'm using those for coloring.
I started card making 20 yrs ago, then got away from it now I am getting back into it. There's so much more now to work with. I'd like to do this along with other types of things like embellishments. I enjoy sending cards to people I know in my community. Gives me a lot of joy to do that to help others feel better.
Thanks Tim! Like many others, I also had the same question. I now also understand the blending technique and why it makes sense by not starting directly on the project surface. 👍
I love the Distress Inks and Oxides although I don't own any of them because I can't afford them. But I'll keep watching and learning until I can afford them. I'm not discouraged just waiting for my time to come. by the way, this Christmas my children gifted me a Sizzix big shot and i love it so much! Thank you!
Mary, Amazon now has a whole bunch of Tim Holtz’ stuff for $5-$10 so you might want to look there if you can’t spend too much money. All these inks are there and some are under $6 just in case you want to look!
Today, I learn something, you can emboss with distress ink and clear powder. I shall experience it much more. I enjoy and love learning something new. Merci beaucoup
Wow, Newbe here and those inks and pigments are the very first thing I purchased. Besides stamping with them, I didn't have a clue of the other marvelous things I can do with them. So exciting. Thank you Mr. Holtz .
Nice! I really appreciate this information. I was wondering about the differences between the two different kinds, and Tim is always so clever in his explanations and demonstrations. Thanks for sharing this.
Audrina Thorsen ~ I love your video. I bought Distress ink and Distress oxide inks and sprays but didn't know how to use them. Your video is very helpful. Thanks so much. Now, I'm really anxious to play with them!
Hello Tim , you are my idol when it comes to mixed media art & crafting and I love all your products from dies to stencils to paper dolls and others.. thanks so much for sharing your creative mind to everyone of us who lives to craft and do art . Lilia
Thanks for this video, Tim. I feel like I learned a lot. I did not know that I could emboss w/ the regular inks. I thought only pigment ink worked for embossing, so I learned something new. Thanks for putting a color chart of all Inks & Oxides on your site!!! I really appreciated finding that last week.
This was great! I never knew the difference although I have both products in almost all of the colors. To be honest, I’m not sure I realized they were different. I think I just noticed some were big and others were mini cubes. I thought they were ink/chalk hybrids. I’m excited to put my new knowledge to work. Thanks again, Tim! You’re an amazing instructor.
I want ALL of them!! Including the work area mat!!! Love, LOVE, L O V E your products!! I am just a beginner so it will take me a while to build my stock...but what I have so far is a “DREAM!” Your products and crafting are better than PROZAC!! HAHHA They are good for the MIND!! Thank you Tim! Beautiful products!
I hadn't thought about how the inks work with dark cardstock, so I found that interesting. I just order 12 more Oxides to add to the 16 I already have. I have both types of ink but I definitely prefer the Oxides. Just love blending with them. Great Video on the difference between them.
Wow thanks so much! Im new to these products. I only have a small inventory of them so far but i definitely plan on watching more videos and getting more inks!
A very good demonstration of the 2 different types of inks. I am inspired by this and I do want to color more with water that my images would really stand out. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Tim, for sharing the difference between the two. I don't have any of the oxides yet. I love the little palette for watercolor painting. I'm going to have to add that to my wish list!
This is one of the best video's you've done. Now I better understand the differences. In working with the inks, I find, for me, that I prefer the Oxide inks. And I absolutely love my water brushes. Especially the self flowing ones.
Thanks Tim, you sure cleared a lot of questions I had about these two inks, I now know, I don't have oxdies at the moment, but will be getting some, have some cool effects.
Jane! Amazon now has amazing Tim Holtz options for under $10 and you can get lots of his stuff and other crafting items. Just in case you want to look!
Thank you so much for all your great tips. I have always have trouble of using ink pads. Now I will get brave again. I will also try the reinkers. Can you get the extras from you. The paint brush that has 2 heads. The storage for the ink refill holding the paint. Also can you get smaller ink pads. I a widow on the fixed budget. Sorry I wrote alot. But I am excited. To finally start making cards again. Since my wonderful husband passed away

Tim thank you! I’ve bought 1/2 of ur oxide inks and absolutely love them!! Plus I have almost all ur alcohol inks and regular distress inks! They are by far my favorite medium to use!! Thank you so much, one of ur fans, Liz😊💗👍🏼 P.S. if there’s ever a show in Massachusetts that u’d be at id love to know?! Disabled or not I’d make sure I I’d make it there!!!😊
Thank YOU so much... NOW I have a better FEEL of which is which Question: Is either on one of these good to paint on FABRIC? Please say "YES"... it would make me very happy.
Stay tuned...we have a few surprises up our sleeves. Or...you can sign up for the FREE Tim Holtz class available only at Scrapbook.com. www.scrapbook.com/classes/ You will get tons of tips and tricks along the way. Thanks for watching. Enjoy!
I have just watched a video on storing and labelling the ink pads. I think it would much easier for us all if ranger supplied the matching label for us to stick on when we receive it. Or even the label already being on the side to begin with. What do think of that idea?
I was so excited to watch this tutorial! I didn’t even realize that their is Oxide & Ink when it comes to the Distressed pads. I have a couple of your Distressed oxides that I use on my papercraft decor and I especially use them when making paper flowers. I love the coloring that it brings!! Some things I learned today just made my jaw drop, because I did not know that the blending pads were washable?! 😱 I’ve been throwing mine away after many uses. 🙈 The water coloring with the pens was extremely cool and now I want to give it a try too! I use 65lb cardstock with my paper crafting & wondering if it will work on it? Lastly, I use to use embossing powders in my scrapbooking days, but I think I need to pull it out again as it’s such a gorgeous look to add to any kind of decoration. Thanks Tim for sharing, I really enjoyed this video! 💗
This is a great video....great instruction on the difference and effects to gain from doing it right. Totally enjoyed this and really enjoying my inks. Bought several oxide's and they really are interesting in their application and effects. TFS T!m! :)
This is by far the best video explaining the difference between distress inks and oxides. Great visuals! Thank you!
In conclusion, the oxide has a dustier/chalkier effect when applied. Thanxxxx. This answered my biggest Q.
Huge Tim Holtz fan! ❤
Now I know the difference between ink and oxide. I have been wondering for a few years. I bought the ink now I also want the oxide. Thank you Tim for using the brush pens. I am glad they works I bought a set of water brush pens. I'm using those for coloring.
He's seriously... the best!

Thanks Tim! Like many others, I also had the same question. I now also understand the blending technique and why it makes sense by not starting directly on the project surface. 👍
Finally! I now have had an instruction video that told me AND showed me the differences of ink and oxide. Thank you. U R 1 smart Cookie!

Thank you for watching! So glad you love your new Big Shot.
I have one .... and would like more but can't decide what colors without wanting them all! None of the local stores carry them.
Mary, Amazon now has a whole bunch of Tim Holtz’ stuff for $5-$10 so you might want to look there if you can’t spend too much money. All these inks are there and some are under $6 just in case you want to look!

Thank you I always did want to know the difference between both oxide and distress inks
Wow, Newbe here and those inks and pigments are the very first thing I purchased. Besides stamping with them, I didn't have a clue of the other marvelous things I can do with them. So exciting. Thank you Mr. Holtz .
Hello Tim - in the future will you be producing metallic colors (gold, silver, rose gold, bronze) as distress oxides?
I really enjoyed your demo of distress crayons. I bought three of them and can’t wait to use them with collaging. Thank you.
Nice! I really appreciate this information. I was wondering about the differences between the two different kinds, and Tim is always so clever in his explanations and demonstrations. Thanks for sharing this.

Thank you Tim for the great tips and tricks, advice was awesome! Liz 😊
I watercolor with distress ink but hadn’t thought of it with the Oxides. Thanks.

Awesome tips for a beginner like myself! Thanks!
Thank you for teaching this retired art teacher the difference...

Thank YOU so much...
NOW I have a better FEEL of which is which
Question:
Is either on one of these good to paint on FABRIC?
Please say "YES"... it would make me very happy.
So glad this was helpful to you! Please feel free to contact us at support@scrapbook.com and we will be happy to research this for you. :)
Thank you for the video.
I wish you would make a set of only red, yellow, blue, white, and black.
I don't like other colors.
Tim you are awesome!👏🏽👏🏽
Craft stores only sell the oxides. I like the Distress Ink, for edges.
I wish I had seen this years ago. Thank you
i appreciate the tutorial, very eye opening! I will certainly enjoy both products, thanks!!!
Yay! More videos from Tim, please!!

great video im looking for how the ink pad itself is supposed to look i bought it at michaels and the pad is hard as a rock
Love this tutorial! Thank you!
Always great informative videos from Tim
This video is extremely helpful!
EXACTLY what I was wanting to know. And how exciting to learn from THE Tim Holtz! Thank you!

Thank you, Trena!
Thank you so much. I was soooo confused and this took the mystery out of it 😃
We're so glad this was helpful! :)
Very informative and simply explained. Thanks Tim. 👍🏽
Very informative. As a newer crafter, this helped a lot. Love your videos😍! TFS!
I have just watched a video on storing and labelling the ink pads. I think it would much easier for us all if ranger supplied the matching label for us to stick on when we receive it. Or even the label already being on the side to begin with. What do think of that idea?
Very helpful and informative! Thank you !
Thank you Tim
Hi there. Wondering if it's possible to turn my distress ink pads into distress oxide with re-inkers. Thanks for your time😊
Fantastic, thanks so much from Canada
I was so excited to watch this tutorial! I didn’t even realize that their is Oxide & Ink when it comes to the Distressed pads.

We are so happy you enjoyed the tutorial and can't wait to see all of your projects! 🥰
Diana: I too use a lot of 65 lb. cardstocks. I use Michaels brand and have found my distress oxides to work really well on that.
This is a great video....great instruction on the difference and effects to gain from doing it right. Totally enjoyed this and really enjoying my inks. Bought several oxide's and they really are interesting in their application and effects. TFS T!m! :)
very informative. Love working with the Oxides
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. Happy crafting.
I’m totally sold on the oxides but left wondering why I would also need the dye inks...?
