I have a few archival inks in my stash but haven’t used them. I had no idea they were oil based. This series is the best I’ve seen on inks. Thank you so much and thank you for not pushing products.

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome!

[@paulawray6210]

Thank you for the info on Archival inks. I probably will continue to use my other inks more often,but now I know what Archival inks can and cannot do. I appreciate your sharing. Thank you.

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome!

[@bonnerdebbie]

Natalie, the series on inks was impressive and I wish it had been around when I started playing with them. Thank you so very much for your time and your creativity!!!

[@nbcascards]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TealDiana]

So much great information in a short amount of time!❤ Again, I’m so impressed you aren’t selling products but have chosen to share techniques and information. Thank you!❤

[@gailrodgers3079]

I go bonkers when I see that something going to be 'live'! Went to watch one today and the girl was just sitting there waiting for people to turn on or whatever they do. I felt like they were just wasting my time. Who wants to watch a video of someone sitting and doing nothing?

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much!

[@hazelkinvig-paul8231]

Very interesting and informative Natalie! And I love the finished card! TFS 👍💖

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much!

[@matthewmacarthur2305]

Great use for the archival inks making your card as well as the other techniques you showed. I would love to see you do videos for the embossing ink & black inks- your videos are so helpful & full of useful info. TFS -Sarah

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Sarah! I'll definitely do those videos soon! :)

[@mandyhall1674]

Really pretty colours in that card - gorgeous. Very interesting, always wondered what the difference was with these inks. Yes to the black inks please. Thanks Natalie and have a beautiful day. xx

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Mandy! :)

[@sherylciavarelli5884]

Good morning from the States! I've been subscribed to your channel since mid-April. My first video was the beginning of the "No Regrets" series. You were using washi tape and I loved it!
I love your direct and informative approach. I'm learning so much, especially with this ink series (yes to the embossing and black ink videos 😊). I love your card making style, very simple yet lovely. Thank you so much for what you are doing and the time and effort it takes. I also love all the birds in the background. Sometimes I pause the video because I think the sounds are happening at my house.

[@nbcascards]

How lovely! Thanks so much for subscribing and watching. x

[@molossergirl2]

Thanks, Natalie it's good to know all about the different type of inks, I thought they were all the same! I have 4 Archival ink pads that I have not yet used and bought them last year. I also have a tin full of Versa color inks which I think are pigment inks and again, not really used them as they were inherited with the stash of goodies I bought from the lady across the way. I cannot wait for the summer break all that time for crafting, lol. Love the butterfly card, I love all of your cards!! x

[@nbcascards]

Glad it was helpful! Not long until the summer hols! X

[@lesleyebdon8044]

I love using Archival with stencils particularly because of their translucent nature. Thanks for the tip of splattering and lifting with alcohol. Common sense really but I hadn't thought of it, lol. Lovely video as always. Xx

[@nbcascards]

Thanks! I'll add rub-ons to the video list. x

[@JH-wd7ul]

Fabulous video! Yes, please do more videos - it's so nice to have all this information in one playlist! I have the same set of Globleland stamps/dies/stencils. I have been stamping and coloring on white card stock. I don't like the white borders, so have to fussy cut them. Never would I have thought to create a background to stamp on so the cut images would not be white. You have made my day! 🩷👍👍👍

[@nbcascards]

Glad it was helpful!

[@angelavinaCLIC]

This is great to know, could you please share a video using the Archive inks onto fabric? BTW, you are one of the best paper crafter and stamper I have found in the UK. Lol

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! I don't tend to use fabric, but 'll add it to the future video list.

[@RM-gc3eh]

I really like your videos as they are so informative. Would love to see one on embossing ink and black ink - would particularly like to know which black ink works best (ie doesn’t smudge) when used with alcohol inks.

[@karenbyron2813]

I’ve really enjoyed this series and learned so much, thank you for all you do. I enjoy watching all your videos and have learnt so much from you xxx

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! x

[@CanadianQueenmagenta]

That was a terrific video and that butterfly card is gorgeous. Thanks, Natalie.

[@nbcascards]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jade0626]

I always find all of your videos helpful. I have those inks too. That card along, with all your others, are just gorgeous ❤

[@nbcascards]

Thank you so much!

[@christinehampton7669]

Very pretty card, yes please would look more videos.

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! Will do!

[@janetlunn9502]

Another wonderful informative video, I would love a video on embossing ink please!! Beautiful card with whatever inks you have, thank you ❤

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Janet! x

[@ginatrevino5514]

Super great information on the types and quality of inks!!! Thanks so much ❤🎉 Beautiful card!!!

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome!

[@veronicacummings4205]

Thank you for explaining and demonstrating the inks I understand them better now. Love your work xx

[@nbcascards]

I'm so glad! Thanks for letting me know. x

[@helkatww3992]

Thanks so much for this series, Natalie. It's been really helpful 😊
What a beautiful card too. I was a bit anxious when you said you were going to cut into the lovely background you'd made, but the resulting butterflies were so gorgeous, they almost seem to glow! Beautiful! 😍

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! Glad it was helpful! x

[@mellyj3874]

Great tips, the do and don't list is extremely useful. Beautiful card too 😊

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! x

[@joyann6914]

This explains so much and is very helpful. Beautiful card. Thanks for sharing.

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome!

[@kathyreed6841]

Thank you for doing the archival ink video. I have always used stazon ink for stamping on acetate, so was interested to see that you used ranger archival. It was also good to know that it can be splattered, smoothed and blended.

[@nbcascards]

Glad it was helpful! Since filming I've figured out that these inks benefit from heat setting on glossy surfaces like acetate. They dry very slowly otherwise. :)

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Amazing series, and card made… thank you for sharing Natalie!🎉💜✨🥰

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome!

[@wendihaikugrl2651]

Thank you so much! Your tutorials are so informative, helpful and creative!! Love those butterflies and the card! 💖

[@nbcascards]

Thank you so much!

[@SuperShassa]

Great series Natalie 😊 thank you for sharing your knowledge and great ideas. I nearly let all my ink stashes take a walk 😂

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome!

[@nancyglaspie6735]

I've only ever used the black. You can use it on vellum also! Great series!! TFS

[@nbcascards]

You can indeed! :)

[@christinesmith989]

Thank you so much for a fabulous series! I enjoyed today's as it has reminded me how useful Archival inks are and that I really should use mine! Love the butterfly card too. xxx💖💖💖

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome!

[@jeanhiebert3425]

I don't have any of these inks but it's nice to know their pros and cons

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! x

[@sandrabiggs5692]

Great series. Beautiful card. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store in future tutorials. Thanks x

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much!

[@SusanFinney-wf1sm]

Great videos Natalie you are so knowledgeable and your presentation skills are top notch. I’ve saved all your videos and have become a great fan of yours even though I only came across you a couple of weeks ago. I can’t thank you enough and please keep the videos coming. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@nbcascards]

That's so lovely! Thanks so much. x

[@lesleyebdon8566]

Thank you so much Natalie. Xx

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome

[@sallymoretti1066]

Wow! Very helpful and really inspiring. Your card is beautiful.

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! x

[@ssquilts]

I am definitely interested with learning about your black inks and embossing inks. I ended up with a small collection of black inks as I looked for the darker print. I have been playing with the properties - what can be used with water, alcohol, different surfaces etc but I’m in no way as systematic as you are so I’m not sure if I am really learning about them or if I’ve collected the right ones. I love your channel

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! I'll do those other ink pad videos soon. x

[@heidi3855]

Again a wonderful card and many information. Thank you 😊

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome!

[@wendy8184]

Fabulous cards, and thanks for the lesson on archival inks, very helpful!

[@nbcascards]

My pleasure! x

[@joycehitchen1046]

A super informative video. Thank you so much. Have really enjoyed watching and learning from this series of videos. 🥰

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome!

[@deejohnston3666]

Ohhh I. Loving what your making❤

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! 😊

[@kathybost1879]

thanks for all your great information. I use mine alot- especially on tags with paint on them. they are fun and there are so many colors.

[@nbcascards]

Glad you like them!

[@terrie1226]

This was very helpful, I have only a few of the Archival ink. Thanks for sharing what you can do or not do with them.

[@nbcascards]

Thanks for watching!

[@pauladyer9845]

Great info.. I am new to all this card making fun and I have learned a lot..thank you very much

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome! Thank you for all your comments. x

[@kathrynmoon8793]

Love your inspiring videos, Natalie! I have used this brand of inks for stamping onto the acrylic paint gel print backgrounds that I create for card backgrounds! Works well!

[@nbcascards]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@shazinoz]

Just used archival distress hickory smoke on a new Lavinia stencil tonight...
I didn't realise they were permanent. Just as well I bought the cleaner on sale isn't it 😂😂😂 they certainly worked beautifully stencilling, though. Really liked it. I practiced first but didn't try the cleaning.
Now I just have to find where I put the cleaner!!!

[@nbcascards]

Good luck! ;)

[@shazinoz]

All good, Natalie, found it where it ought be and all clean again.
Hickory smoke is beautiful. I bought the distress set of four half price with the cleaner. I think Archival cleaner would be like the stazon cleaner and was running low on that.
Keep up your great videos! you're a real favourite with Jo Rice from Lavinia. She's in Cheshire and she also puts a smile on my face.
You're much more varied though in your choice of videos.
I'm learning lots.
A sunny day today after a freezing rainy day yesterday ❤❤❤God bless.

[@nbcascards]

Thank you so much! So glad you're enjoying the videos. x

[@CraftyFifeLady]

Thanks again for a great tutorial - loving this series 🙌

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! xxx

[@shugsbug]

Great video, good to hear about the inks and their uses

[@nbcascards]

Thanks for watching!

[@gailrodgers3079]

Oh how I love butterfly stamps. You made a very pretty card. Thank you for your help. I can't get over the bird song as those are unfamiliar to me here in the States.

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome!

[@helenwolstenholme4475]

Reallyy good video on archival inks, nt something I use but I have a couple of rather old ones somewhere. I shall certainly dig them out and use them (unless thy have dried up!)

[@nbcascards]

Glad it was helpful!

[@angelaharnett6437]

Great informative video . These inks are not for me but it’s good to learn incase I ever need there properties. Thank you Natalie x

[@nbcascards]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dnahrvolts6386]

Thank you so much for the information to use on various things

[@nbcascards]

Glad it was helpful!

[@carolewheeler3928]

Another great tutorial on inks! Working my way through them. :) xx

[@nbcascards]

Great! Glad you're finding them helpful. x

[@MargueriteAtHome]

So, so helpful, Natalie, as always!! I have only one archival ink pad, but now I know what (and what not) to do with it. 😊 Yes, if there are techniques we can learn to do with black and embossing inks other than just stamp, stamp, stamp, I’d be all ears!
Would you mind telling me if you’ve had formal arts training? (Maybe I asked you this early in your CZcams career.) As I recall, you were a science teacher….

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Marguerite! I've had no formal arts training other than a few workshops I've taken here and there. I've just applied my scientific brain to learning all about arts and media! :)

[@MargueriteAtHome]

@@nbcascards Left brain collaborating with right brain…it doesn’t get any better than that. I’m impressed!

[@digitoes]

I’m loving this ink series, as usual! QUESTION: do you keep separate daubers/blending brushes? Thanks again, Natalie. ❤

[@nbcascards]

Thanks! I have a set of brushes and finger daubers for my Distress Oxides and another set of both for my Catherine Pooler inks.

[@chrisarlington1792]

Great video! I enjoyed hearing your birds. Are they doves?

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! :) Yes, collard doves and wood pigeons are regular visitors to my garden.

[@michelegourd5742]

Natalie, I would for you to do more videos on ink pads!! I love your card as you know I love butterflies!! I have the same stamp and dies!! I do like this set!! I have learn a lot from you it would take a long time for me to tell you all that I can learn!!

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Michele! I'll come back to the other ink pads soon. x

[@user-xt3yk2bq8f]

Thanks for all the info. I tried stamping on acetate and it never dried. Smeared greatly even after a few days. In fact, was able to wipe image off. ?

[@nbcascards]

It can help to heat-set the ink. Just don't melt the acetate! :)

[@1evelynvasquez]

What is the difference between distress ink and distress oxide?

[@nbcascards]

Distress Inks are water-based dye inks (a bit like the Catherine Pooler inks I talked about in the previous video). Distress oxide are a water-based hybrid of dye and pigment. The Inks are translucent and the oxides are opaque.

[@lesleyebdon8044]

Can I ask who makes/sells the cut out sentiments please? I've spent hours scrolling until I'm crosseyed, lol, and I can't find them. Xx
