I love that you can tint rhinestones another color! I have not used the Jacquard alcohol inks, but have tried some of the other ones. Very cool! I would love to win!

I loved the rhinestones and the shrinky dink but I would be most inclined to try the alcohol inks on the glossy paper or glossy cardstock. I would also love to try them on vellum.
February 24, 2012 at 3:31 pm
It’s funny that I just got off YouTube to read my blogs and now I’m back on YouTube watching jacquardproducts videos!! Thanks!
February 24, 2012 at 3:54 pm
LOVE the idea of tinting rhinestones. Plus, I work a lot with upcycled aluminum from soda cans, so that’s a cool idea, too.
Thanks for the opportunity to win this!

I loved the idea of coloring gold leaf- something I have never tried! Also still very intrigued with the resin paper- something I know nothing about! Thank you for the opp!
February 25, 2012 at 8:09 am
Debb- I learned about resin paper in Jen Cushman’s book- here’s a link to my review: http://www.crafttestdummies.com/craft-product-reviews/craft-book-review-explore-create-resinate-by-jen-cushman/. Hope this helps!
February 25, 2012 at 10:29 am
How cool would tinting glass fragments be? Awesome! I also love the results shown on the resin paper, shrink plastic and the white cardstock is so vivid! So many awesome ideas and uses for this product…I think I have fallen in love with it before ever giving it a try! Thank you for sharing the awesome review.
February 25, 2012 at 10:33 am
Thought I already liked Jaquard Products–now I’m fb official! Thanks for the giveaway!!
February 25, 2012 at 10:42 am
I checked out their youtube channel and I also decided to subscribe to it. Watched a couple of videos using discharge paste and discharge additive so white can be printed without having to color the background first…totally awesome products.
February 25, 2012 at 10:45 am
I liked them on Facebook and I let them know how awesome this giveaway is and also how awesome I think their Pinata inks are. I’m totally blown away with their products…definitely going to watch more videos on their youtube channel. Thanks for sharing this review on Pinata inks and for the awesome giveaway.
February 25, 2012 at 12:24 pm
I loved how you colored the Frantage Fragments, but I’m very interested in something you mentioned, but didn’t demonstrate, which was using the inks with polymer clay!

February 25, 2012 at 12:35 pm
Thanks for the review/tutorial. I work with mixed media, paper and other objects. I also upcycle vintage jewelry. However, I’ve never used this type of ink. I love the fact that you can tint objects (i.e., rhinestones) that other paint won’t work with. I also was interested by the fact that it works on leather – some of my old purses need a bit of sprucing up!
February 25, 2012 at 4:06 pm
I could only do the first entry. I do not subscribe to YouTube but i really enjoyed watching the Jacquard videos, i want to try their dyes also, I want to tie dye, great instructions!
Thank you for the opportunity to win.
February 25, 2012 at 6:08 pm
I watched U tube and subcribed. Can’t wait to view more how tos.
I “liked” on FB
I read the review. If they are anything like the Ranger alcohol paints I will like them because I can use them on so many things other than paper.
I especially want to try the photo paper spritzed with ink and then thinner.
February 25, 2012 at 6:21 pm
Pat- first off- in order to get 3 entries, you have to leave 3 separate comments. (The blog will select a comment at random & I don’t want you to miss out!)
Secondly, yes- like the Ranger ones, Piñata inks are alcohol-based.
Lastly, you do NOT want to spritz the inks with water OR “thinner.” Use blending solution (Ranger’s product) Claro Extender (Jacquard’s product) or rubbing alcohol ONLY to extend/mix/clean up. Hope this clarifies it!
February 25, 2012 at 7:28 pm
I love the results you get when you blend colors. And I like that you can use them to color things that paint won’t work on.
February 25, 2012 at 9:13 pm
Thanks for sharing your videos on the Pinata alcohol inks. I bought some at a store closing and still have them in my box with the rest of the “other” alcohol inks, love the different colors and vibrance. What I don’t have is the “clean up” solution, but I usually use rubbing alcohol. Thanks for the chance to win! I already like Jaquard on FB and thanked them (which I will write in the next entry

I love being able to use them on metal and other non-porous materials, I have seen them used on utube and have wanted to get them, unfortunately I live in a fairly rural area and our stores do not carry them.

I loved the stamping portion of the video. I have used alcohol inks before but I have never used them to ink a stamp! Can’t wait to give that a try. I also enjoyed seeing you use a spray bottle for the rubbing alcohol/extender. It sparked a little idea for a swatch that I’m going to work on today. Thanks for the inspiration!

PS I also “like”ed Jacquard on Facebook and subscribed to them on You tube. I had no idea they were just up the road from me!

Wow, do these inks look fun. I would love to win two sets. I have a friend who recently became disabled and lost her job. I would give her the second set.
February 28, 2012 at 2:13 pm
I think I like the color the foil idea. That is one I hadn’t noticed before.
February 29, 2012 at 1:39 am
I love using alcohol inks with polymer clay, but I have limited experience using them with other materials. I think my favorite of the techniques you showed was the Frantage Fragments in a baggie — I’d love to give that a try. Thanks for hosting the giveaway! [Entry #1]

Love how you can alter items with these inks and how vibrant they are!
March 1, 2012 at 4:30 pm
My favorite use/technique you didn was on the rhinestones. Amazing, I can just buy them all in silver and make my own custom color to match my project. Save space too.
March 1, 2012 at 4:31 pm
I’ve read your review and while I like all the techniques, I love that you can use them to color/tint rhinestones and I like how they work on the metal bottlecaps. And I love how they turned out on the glossy paper!! So vibrant!!

Loved all of the techniques you used in your review, but especially loved the way you can apply color to things like rhinestones. I admit, I always think of ink as something that is only used for stamping, but seeing all these other techniques gives me tons of new ideas! I was wondering, I use stamps on wood to make personalized pendants. I know you say these are better on glossy surfaces…but would they work on something like that?
March 1, 2012 at 6:00 pm
Wow, so many great uses for this!! Love them all actually.My favorite is the technique of using them on beads and rhinestones!!
March 1, 2012 at 6:01 pm
Love these products!!!
March 1, 2012 at 6:14 pm
Nicole- if you sealed the wood first- like with a little Mod Podge or spray sealer- they would keep the ink from seeping into the wood grain and “bleeding”- so yes, with a little prep!
March 1, 2012 at 7:06 pm
Liked the use on different items, going to try the rhinestone and bead dyeing. Especially for when I need a special color to finish a project.

I’m already a fan of Jaquard Products on Facebook but I just subscribed to their YouTube.
