Video Review – Ranger Ink – Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks Review and Refresher

Video Review – Ranger Ink – Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks Review and Refresher

Hey there crafters!  Today I wanted to re-energize your creative brains with Alcohol Inks by Tim Holtz and Ranger Ink.  Alcohol Inks are one of my all-time favorite products by Ranger and seeing as how we haven’t reviewed them here at Craft Test Dummies, I wanted to give a quick run down of what they are and just how amazingly versatile they are!   Alcohol Inks are available in, “big box,” stores like JoAnns, Hobby Lobby and Michaels and come […]

Craft Product Review: Loomi Light
