Recap: Tim's Debut on HSN (Hour 2)

 
When Ranger Creative Director Tim Holtz made his HSN debut this past Wednesday, he was on the air twice: once at 10am, and then again at 4pm.  Here's a recap of his second hour!

Tim was welcomed by host Bobbi Ray Carter and he showed her the "Inspiration Kit," comprised of Tim's book A Compendium of Curiosities and sheets of Grungeboard Mixed Minis.

A book Tim created using many techniques illustrated in A Compendium of Curiosities, with Grungeboard letters affixed to the cover.

Tim flipped through the book and pointed out that he took every photograph himself as he was crafting -- all the better to show a crafter following along exactly what they want to see!

The second hour featured a lot of products that weren't shown during the first hour, including three collections of Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabbers!  They were available in Lights, Brights, and Basics (metallics plus black and white), with each kit containing 6 dabbers.

Tim demonstrated how to establish flow through the foam dabber top...

...and how to quickly cover large areas with no paintbrush necessary!

He also demonstrated a "pouncing" technique for a slightly heavier application of paint...

...which became textural when dried with the Heat-It Craft Tool!

Tim also showed off how easy it is to use Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabbers to layer colors, and yet the dabber top does not become contaminated with the other color of paint!  Just swipe the dabber on a scrap piece of paper or on the Non-Stick Craft Mat to quickly re-establish the flow of the original true color.  How great is that?

Next up was everyone's favorite glitter glue: Stickles!

Stickles were offered in three collections: All-Occasion (pictured), Holiday (reds and greens for Christmas plus oranges and purples for Halloween), and Metallics.

Tim showed off some holiday scrapbook layouts that used Stickles as festive accents on Grungeboard letters.

Even some Halloween tags got some bling thanks to Stickles!

Look how easy it is to apply Stickles to Grungeboard accents.  It's so much easier than applying regular glue and sprinkling with loose glitter (and not nearly as messy, either)!

Tim also demonstrated how Stickles self-levels.  Even if a slight peak is left after application straight from the bottle, the formula will dry into a smooth dome.  Perfect!

Next up was a Stamping Starter Set: a bottle of CleansIt stamp cleaner...

...a package of Cut 'n' Dry stamp pad foam, a Rub It Scrub It stamp cleaning pad,...

...and even a pad of Jet Black Archival Ink!  With this handy kit, beginning stampers would have everything they need to get started on a new addiction.

The final item of Tim's HSN debut were several sets of his stamps created with Stampers Anonymous.  Here, Tim was demonstrating how clear stamps on acrylic blocks allow for perfect placement on your layout.

Voila! 

Congratulations to Tim for an awesome and very successful HSN debut!

Great being able to watch the demos after all as I don't have access to HSN.

Toni :o)

I watched both segments and t!m was great! I have a few unmelted numbers left on my cc!

[sue w.]

I missed the second segment with all the stickles and paint dabbers. Bet it was great just like the first hour. stamping sue

I loved watching Tim demo, and didn't know you could mix the dabbers without contaminating the cap. It was also too funny watching him actually clean a stamp! Didn't know he had it in him!

[{vicki}]

I bought 2 sets of the paint dabbers

Tim was great in both slots! I ended up with a bunch of die cut chipboard from a friend and it really doesn't match my style but I got a few ideas of what I can do with them from watching Tim. May have to invest in some daubers. :P

[Sarah]

I saw both segments with Tim and loved both of them!! I even made my very first HSN purchase because of him! (And because I can't get enough Ranger products, ever!) Hopefully HSN will have him back on very, very soon!!!

Love T!M and I love Ranger watched both of T!M's segments! i learned to start my ink pads on the craft sheet first before applying to the tags.

[TFriday]

I watched, I enjoyed, and then I bought. LOL!! I can't wait to get his book and grungeboard. Can't wait for the next one. TFS!

Hi Ranger! Tim was awesome on HSN! He's truly a natural and has such a HUGE fan club, he just couldn't go wrong! Thanks, Ranger, for the re-acp and for sharing the clips with us. Lynn B

I'm so glad for this recap; I taped the first show, but forgot about the second. Dang, it featured my favorite Ranger product of all time, too - STICKLES!!! I am well on my way to collecting every color, but it's hard to find them all in my area. Tim did a great job and I enjoyed watching him work - under pressure and short on time - and fabulous!

[Lynn Barwald]

Good morning, Ranger! LOVED watching Tim on HSN.. he did a GREAT JOB! You know, I was playing yesterday with my Cut n' Dry Foam making my own custom ink pagds. What fun! I haven't heard about that stuff in years though via Ranger. It's such a fun product! I think you should talk about it on your blog one of these days. Thanks! Lynn B

[paula akers]

Thanks for all the links and highlights! Was bummed to find our cable doesn't have HSN, only QVC! For a change, I WANT to watch it and can't!

[susan]

Thank you for the links. I wasn't able to watch, so now I can enjoy the presentations and maybe ever learn something new.

[Linda van Vliet]

Thank you for putting the links on the blog! I have not been able to follow it live.

[Lynn Barwald]

Good morning, Ranger! Your products ROCK and I'm so glad Tim Holtz is one of your stars! Lynn B

[Toni]

Just used the orange stickles for ther first time today. The color is used and the control is fantastic. Loved the end result!

[Toni]

Oops - supposed to say the color is "rich". Sorry!

[Lynn Barwald]

Good morning, Ranger! Thanks for sharing these clips and for sharing your products via Tim Holtz. You make a super team! Lynn B
