You have such a great design team. The projects are so varied, but all wonderful.
ReplyDeleteDaisy,
ReplyDeleteIt was good seeing you at CHA again. Your design team is amazing and created some gorgeous projects.
Hugs an dsmiles
EP Blog Hops are the best. So many ideas from a talented team. have not tried Claudine's paints yet, but now on my wish list. Love to use shelf liner paper to add or take off paint from canvas, adds great texture.
ReplyDeleteDaisy, Daisy, Daisy! I love these EP blog hops...they are so inspiring. I'm really a coward when it comes to painting...I'm more of a stamper. I've just barely dipped my toes in the water...I painted a frame last week with Distress Crackle. I learned a lot from this blog, and am going to save my pennies for Claudine's paint. Sigh....
ReplyDeleteI don't use much paint in my work, but I'll have to try this. Everyone made it look so easy!
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway! Perfect for releasing your inner artist! Thank you for the chance.

How timely! I just ordered these from you! Can't wait to try them out once they arrive :)
ReplyDeleteI love the quality of these paints - you can add some water to do a wash effect on projects. I'm thinking about adding a little into molding paste for my mix media projects too.
Off to peek at the DT's take on these paints - how FUN!!
My tip would be to keep your brushes clean! A lot of mess will be avoided if you do. I have to try Claudine's paints. I remember seeing her years ago, I think it was on Carol Duval's show ( could be wrong) a long time ago.
ReplyDeletei would love a chance to play w these paints. everyting else Ranger has put out is top quality so i'm sure this is too. i usually just use the craft paint in little tubes, i got a ton at a garage sale and am still using it. guess i need to step up my game
ReplyDeleteWhat a great hop! The E-team has amazing talents. I've not used paints in my card making, but after seeing their results, I think I need to!
ReplyDeleteTks for the chance to win, I would love to try these paints.
ReplyDeleteI haven't used this paint, but I like the results of what your design team has done. They always have such good ideas!

I just love all the projects that I have seen today. I have a ton of new ideas to work with. Thanks so much for the contest and sharing all the great talent of these wonderful ladies.
ReplyDeleteGreat hop. All of the projects were wonderful. Tip I've learned when stamping with acrylic paint. I apply the paint to the stamp using a foam brush, with a lightly coating the stamp to avoid getting too much paint on the stamp.
ReplyDeleteThaks for the chance to win. Love your blog hops! I like to take an old credit card or scraper to drag acryllic paint across a surface so that it is not covered completely for a cool distressed look. Also go the other direction with a second color in a cross-hatch fashion with a lighter color.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win --these paints look amazing and the DT have done a fabulous job with showcasing them

I loved all of the projects using Claudine Hellmuth's Studio paints--amazing creativity, designs and colors!! I had the chance to use Claudine's paint at Archiver's showcasing her stamps/paint, and I just loved it!!
ReplyDeleteWould love to try these products.

Lovely work as always by your gals! Makes me want to run out & buy up a supply of paints & sticky back canvas!
ReplyDeleteRight now I use acrylic paint to make traces on my project backgrounds. By traces I men smearing paint with a plastic card, making streaks with the side of a plastic card, making circles of different sizes using paint bottle caps. Other times I use it to paint the whole background. Another fun technique is using bubble wrap to make traces on paper or canvas.
ReplyDeleteWould love to try these paints. Back in the 80's when country and tole painting was very popular I used to paint alot. I loved making muslin animals and painting them. I found that using an undercoat of gesso kept the paint from cracking and chipping. Another tip when you custom blend or just want your paint to stay fresh always mix in plastic paint pallets, and keep covered with plastic wrap. You can keep the paint for up to 48 hrs. this way. Covering it keeps the air out so it does not form a crust and moisture will not escape. Also you do need to clean your brush often.

I have never done much with paints but I must say that I'm really impressed with what I've seen and can't wait to get my hands on some paints and that fabulous canvas! Thanks for another great hop!
ReplyDeletewonderful~ love all the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteSandra ltb
Haven't worked with this paint before, but it looks so rich and creamy! Scrumptious colors too! I'm anxious to get some so I can play too!
ReplyDeleteDeniseB
Can't wait to give this paint a try!
ReplyDeleteWow! Great blog hop! Love all the creativity. Learned so many new things to try. Thanks for all the inspiration from these talented ladies, and for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog hop--I really haven't used paint much but am inspired to after the hop.
ReplyDeleteI hope to use some of these paints in the future--thanks for sharing and the opportunity to win!
ReplyDeleteyou put on another good show. thank you to all of the participants for making the projects. it looks like there are many yes votes for claudine's sticky canvas and especially the paint.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win. I am going to have to check into getting these paints. Everything was awesome. I even liked several of the mediums they used to start their projects with. Everyone did a great job.
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite trick/technique to do with acrylic paints is to use left over stencils, bottle caps, bubble wrap, pretty much anything that can make an impression on your mixed media paper. I usually use three paint colors at the most, otherwise it can get muddy or be too much if you use a bunch of colors. I know pretty much everyone does that technique now, but it's still my favorite because you end up designing your own background paper for cards or projects.
ReplyDeleteIntersting hop. I too love Claudine's products- both her fabulous paints that are like no other and Stickyback is just divine. So fun to work with.
ReplyDeleteI had a chance to be in class with Claudine too. We learned 12 techniques with her products and paints. What an amazing artist and teacher! Have a collection of about 5 paints so far and use them mostly in my art journaling. This is a fun hop! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI just finished checking all the blogs for the hop. Fun! Fun! Fun! I had the op to work with Claudine's paints and Creative Layers stamps at Archivers. The paints, stamps and sticky back canvas are on my shopping list for tomorrow. Actually I have $500 worth of supplies on my list, but the Claudine items have moved to the top. Thank you for the great hop and a chance to win. Believe me, I cannot afford $500 for product right now.
ReplyDeleteI have never used or even heard of Claudine's paints, but I must say, after looking at the projects, the paints are so vivid and bright! I used to paint just to dabble, but now I am inspired to try it again, only in my card making projects. Thanks for the info and the chance to win. I think I must buy some of these paints. The design team is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love Claudine's paints. Thanks for showcasing ways to use and improve my crafting experience,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed these blogs... couldnt leave this message with Broni... hope you will give it to her.. Thanks... Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the chance to win these fabulous prizes. Your design team is so talented and creative. I enjoyed each and every stop.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun blog hop! As in the past, the DT has given us so much inspiration with their creativity. I have used the paint a bit and LOVE them! They're unlike any others I've ever used.

ReplyDeleteLove all the projects in the blog hop! Thank you for featuring my products!
ReplyDeleteCloudiness paints are sooo creamy, I love them! My fav trick is to put out some CH paint on my nonstick craft sheet, brayer in some slow dry mixative to mix, use the brayer to transfer the paint to a stamp, and voile! a cool painty stamp effect to match my project!
ReplyDeleteglad i found you, i love unity stamps!
