Ooo I just love your inky examples Paula! I pinned the Ranger picture of all the distress ink sets so I could see them in the "sets'
ReplyDeletemy favorite package is #12 (but I love them all!!
ReplyDeleteLove set number 11! Thanks for the chance. It's always fun fun to see the mixes.
ReplyDeleteOooh! I love set 10...I've been waiting for squeezed lemonade. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI think set 12 is my favorite. I've been using the sets I have lately with the Festive Layering Stencil…..love the look!!!! I can't wait to get more sets! Thanks to you and Tim for the opportunity!
ReplyDelete#9 is my favorite, but as always, they are all very cool! I have been working at getting the numbers on the back of the regular size pads as well, so I can use the groupings while I work on obtaining all the mini sets!
ReplyDeleteLu C
Love these!! I really didn't think I would need them but they are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteNumber 11 is my favorite; but I love the all!! It is fabulous to see them all combined on the different stencils, Paula. Thanks for the visual!!
ReplyDeleteChoosing a favourite is like 'Sophie's Choice' Paula - impossible to decide!! But if I'm really really pushed then # 11 - but they are all fabulous and I'd love any at all! Hmmm not sure, but is there a little more of Tea Dye in the mix? Thanks so much for chance to win. Enjoy your weekend! Nicola x
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Your example for set 12. Excuse me while I swoon. I think I see my future favorite set. Also, the reverse stenciling is fab - I do that more with my stencils than the other way. Thanks for the chance at these.
ReplyDeleteAll the sets are awesome...just like your samples! It's so hard to choose 'just one' because all the colors work so well together. However, when 'push' comes to 'shove' at a time like this, I'd choose set 12. Keeping my fingers crossed...hubby's birthday is Monday...hope this brings me extra luck!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tags and examples of how gorgeous these colors are together :) I am so excited, thank you for the chance to win :)
ReplyDeletemy favorite was the set 11, and i come back for see your tutorial, thanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteOh I so can't wait to get my hands on these, some of my favourite colours finally in mini form, doing a happy dance here and keeping fingers crossed these will get to the UK soon. Love your projects and look forward to Monday, guessing brushed corduroy will feature somewhere on that project....
ReplyDeleteOH, more goodies from Tim, does he ever stop. Want the three new minis to go with my other precious little darlings. Beautiful Stenciling, and I love your tags. Thanks for the chance to add to the stash.
ReplyDeleteThey're all great! But... I use Tea Dye and Shabby Shutters *all the time* so if I have to pick, #11 is my fave.
ReplyDeleteFrom these three sets...I like #11. Festive berries is the bomb!
ReplyDeletegreat idea to put the number of the set on the bottom of the minis. thanks as always for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love anything Tim Holtz or Ranger, you have made some beautiful tags to share with us.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to pick one, it would be #12, but I love all three sets.
ReplyDelete#10 is my favorite, mostly because of the Bundled Sage!!
ReplyDelete#10 is my favourite set - the one with bundled sage. The packs make it easy to select colours for a project.
ReplyDelete#10 would be my 1st choice--although I would settle for either or all! :D
ReplyDeleteI love that iced spruce too! Sigh - it's just a fabulous color!!!
ReplyDelete#9 is my favorite but it is so hard to pick.
ReplyDeleteThe tag you did with set #11 is to die for, I love it. I would have to say that it is my favorite. Those little ink pads are so cute.
ReplyDeleteAs a set I love #12 but Iced spruce is one of my favorite colors! Love your tags!
ReplyDeletegorgeous little mini stampies... love them all.... thanks for the opportunity to play with colour ...... :)
ReplyDelete#10 that's my favorite, love all the little goodies, they are just a great usable size!
ReplyDeletei'm going with #10...and love the new size! i can't wait to get my hands on all of them!!!
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with set #12, those colors look great together.
ReplyDeleteYou've showcased the colors perfectly--way to stencil! It's brilliant that Tim grouped together compatible colors and my fav from this bunch is No. 12.
ReplyDeleteI love the tag examples, the colors are wonderful. So hard to pick a favorite, at this moment it is set #10 :) Have a great day!~kim
ReplyDeleteThose tags are beautiful! First choice #10, second #11, third #12. I think you used iced spruce the most.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to use those stencils!!! Bold colors are us!!! My fave is # 12 ! But love and would use them all!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any of the colours in #10 so I would pick it if I could only have one set but there are other colours in the other sets that I also don't have so any one of them would be fine.
ReplyDeleteLOve the examples & can't wait to see the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any of the colors in set 12 and I love how the tag turned out!
ReplyDeleteThose sample tags look gorgeous. The more I see them, the more I want those adorable mini pads!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tags! I would love a chance to win one of the new sets.
ReplyDeleteI love Distress minis!! Great use of them in making your tags!!
ReplyDeleteSwoon, love the colors and that first stencil! They are perfect partners, aren't they? Thanks for the chance to win some minis!
ReplyDeleteI love distress inks and these minis have so many great uses. Thanks for the numbering tip. Your tag samples are super. Can't wait to see more!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite is #12. So pretty with that Festive stencil.
ReplyDeleteNumber 10 is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI love how you simply made tags with the color groups tim made. I've been doing the same thing (marking the numbers of the set)--think I got that idea from Jennifer McGuire.

ReplyDeleteSet 12 has my fav colours! Would love to create with these.
ReplyDeleteI would love to play with set #11.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite set is #12...and I just love what you've done with the stencils!!

ReplyDeleteI love them all. You selected perfect stencils to highlight the color combinations!
ReplyDeleteThese mini are so nice to use with the stencils!!! Can't wait for Monday's tutorial!!
ReplyDelete#11 in this grouping as I love "Shabby Shutters". Any shade of green along with shades of purple and yellow are my must haves in any medium. AND, it doesn't hurt that the #11 is the day of the month that I was born. Oh, happy day!
ReplyDeleteI definitely need all of them but No. 11 is probably my favorite of this group
ReplyDeleteFave is set 11 but they are all great!

ReplyDeleteIf I have to pick a fav it will be set 11. Love the stencil you used too! Now for you Paula I'm not sure if you mean 1 color or a set. So if it's a color I'll say festive berries.Or set 11. But you use alot of pumice stone which isn't in any of these sets! hmmm......

ReplyDeleteThey are all beautiful. But my favorite is #11. Followed by #10.

I know what I'll be doing today!! I think, with this latest release, Set 10 is my favorite.

ReplyDeleteWould love to win and try out these newest... now to locate the tag stencils...
ReplyDeleteLove the new color sets - great tip to number them! Looking forward to your tutorial - thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI love them all but 12 is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteSet 10 is probably my favorite, but they're all so wonderful!
ReplyDeletereally lovely colors...but i like set 11 the most
ReplyDeleteIf I have to pick a favorite set from these 3 it wouls be #12
ReplyDeleteSet number 10 is my favorite. The soft colors are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThank you for showing us an example of the shades used together…so beautifully! I love Set #11
ReplyDeletewow. #12 is my fav. loved the stencils you used with each set too!
ReplyDeleteLove #11
ReplyDeleteChoosing #10 if I must limit myself!! Really love them all......;o}
ReplyDeleteWell if I have to pick then it would be set #10 but of course I love them all..!
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks for the chance to win these beauties!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tags! I love #12 (ok and 13 too) the best, but how can you choose?? I love them all.
ReplyDeleteI love your tags and looking forward to monday with you. I am an intense color girl and would go with #12 as my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI love the fall colors in #12. Beautiful tags.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing the festive berries is the color you used most! What I especially liked about visiting the different artists were the different products used!! I get to practice with the products I have at home, but have to wait for the inks to make them look like the samples!! Thanks to Ranger and Tim Holtz for the chance to win!
ReplyDelete12 is my fav. Love them all tho!
ReplyDeleteReally I love them all!!! I think I would choose # 11 after viewing your masterpieces. That would be one of my first choices of sets to get. Love how you profiled the stencils, I have been thinking about getting them and now I can see I must!
ReplyDeleteIt is like picking your favorite child...you love them each in a special way. But #12 really is pretty!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for your up-coming projects ! These samples are YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteEasy to pick - #10 because it has the Squeezed Lemonade that I have been waiting for.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad but now we can get every distress color in a mini! I love the color combinations of these three sets but the rich colors in #12 make it my favorite!
ReplyDeleteSo hard to pick just one! But I'd have to say #12 is calling to me :)
ReplyDelete#10, #11, #12, oh decisions, decisions, decisions, I don't like making decisions, I LOVE THEM ALL !!!!!
ReplyDeletePS I love all the layering stencils you have used them on too xx
Oh my goodness, I love how each set mixes and mingles together so nicely! They are all gorgeous. I love your tip on marking the sets. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy wish list for Christmas just keeping longer and longer. I love the way you've used the stencils to show the color sets of Distress Minis. I've been keeping mine in the sets and numbering them since the first time I saw the idea on your blog. I think the Gothic Stencil is my favorite stencil so far and it is perfect with these colors so if I've got to pick a favorite set from these I've got to say set #10. I'm thinking you used more Festive Berries but then it is a strong and beautifully bold color.
ReplyDeleteThese are so fabulous! #11 is my fave of these.
ReplyDeleteI love how you used each set together on a tag! It really showcases the colors as a set.
ReplyDeleteTough to pick a favorite...10 or 12, but if it has to be just one....12
set 11 would be my favorite because to the brightness of the colors and it has festive berries, a lovely red !
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these minis by using the combinations on one tag, so we can see how good the combinations fit each other !
greetings from Belgium
