hello bloggers! well you've asked, and i've listened - more demo videos. the first one on "adirondack alcohol inks" is on ranger's website (along with some other cool videos from suze weinberg and claudine hellmuth).
there's also a project of the month featuring "distress crackle paint" and several other ranger products - lots of ideas to share...
the second one is about my new "stamp storage binder" is on my website under demos (where there are even more demos to watch). this one shows how you can customize your own binder and lots of ideas for filling it up. once again supply meets solution - so check them out and enjoy...t!m






hey cute boy! we have those in our store and i LOVE them - way to rock the storage binder - what can't you do! hugs, rachel

I love how you personalized the Stamp Storage Binder... it looKs great! I already keep my unmounted stamps in binders, and I do love the ease of flipping through to find what I want. I don't have a cool zipper that keeps everything in, but I put the sheet of stamps inside a gallon zip-lock bag that has the left edge folded ond punched with holes to fit on the rings... works for me! If I could afford to, I'd get rid of all my ugly binders and go with your Old-Time Western, tooled leather look binders! YeeHa!

Thank you, Tim! Perfect finish for my Tim Holtz Mother's Day! My kids today gave me Distressables and D'2 plus The Altered Journey and The Journey Continues. Now you have more tutorials and a picture of that beautiful blue stamp notebook that I fell in love with at CHA-W! It is even more stunning now that I can see it uplose in your picture. Whatever made you finish it in blue? It is so PERFECT!

Yeah, I know I can't sing, but I did want to say thanks for keeping the tutorials coming!

Just watched the demo about the stamp storage binder. It was quite fun to piece together what you were saying since the speakers on my computer aren't working. Nevertheless, the personalized binder at the end looks awesome. Great way to put the fun back into "fun"ction!

Great videos! How many times can one person say, "Thanks for sharing!"?? I think I need to learn how to say it in different languages!!!

I finally took the plunge after buying a ton of crackle paint and used it on a canvas. It turned out awesome!! I painted the edges darker and the middle lighter....then sort went around the darker park and added a little of the lighter crackle paint. It crackled beautifully. I was a bit worried because I was overlapping layers. Then I used my vintage distressing pad and went over the whole thing. I was jumping for joy. It turned out great! Thanks for all the demos.

That binder is so pretty. You make personalizing it seem so easy. I know I'd be to ascared to dab all of that paint on!
Posted by: Shanna | May 08, 2008 at 11:51 PM
What a beautiful binder just as it is...
But... super cool that you can custom color it if you wish. I have my sets of your stamps sitting on my table, but will have to check into this binder. I love the look and the function!

T!m, thanks so much for the storage binder video. I hesitated buying the binder because I am anal about everything matching and brown isn't one of my colors. But now I can personalize it. I can't wait to do it now!!!
Thanks, Heather

That stamp binder ROCKS! I have to have one of those. SO Much easier than a ziplock bag full of stamps!! And prettier too :)
Posted by: Holly Denghel | May 09, 2008 at 08:32 AM
Oh, way to go. Make it look so cool and easy so that I
*HAVE* to have it...

Thank goodness it's Mother's Day Weekend, I can splurge on ME!

That binder is awesome. I never would have thought to put paint dabbers on that surface. What a great effect!!

Thanks for the new video. Love it !!!
Posted by: Sweet Marie | May 09, 2008 at 06:00 PM
What a fab idea! This is so much better than what I use now to store my unmounted stamps. And of course, leave it to you to make sure that they will fit your SA stamps! Thank you for always having the best stuff and great ways to make it ours! Claire
Posted by: Claire | May 10, 2008 at 06:16 AM
Oh boy! More videos! Thanks for taking the time to do this.... now let's play!
Posted by: Debbie Smith | May 10, 2008 at 07:05 AM

This is the best-est idea EVA!!!!! I have all my stamps in trays and its hard to see what they all are without having to rummage thru the whole lot. Have this Storage Stamp Binder is such brilliant idea. Easy access ... easy to find what you need without having to find out "now do I have that stamp or where did I leave it" Luv the products and I will most certainly be buying a couple of these Storage Binders for my stamps. Have a groovy Day
