I am really pleased to share this first product with you- clearly there is a reason why I have chosen to share them with you FIRST…. CTMH has decided to carry Shin Han Touch Twin alcohol markers and I wanted you to be the first to know!
Why is this exciting? Cause these markers are amazing!
You can do so much with alcohol markers (now you may have heard about Copic markers? these are the SAME top of the line quality that comes from those- just a better price point).
We will be carrying 24 of these markers and YES they are refillable (if you ever need to refill them).
So, what can these markers do?
Alcohol markers are fast drying- colour embellishments (like my stars and sequins) and the colour stays!
Alcohol markers blend beautifully- you won’t see stroke marks when colouring with these!
The colours are bright and long-lasting.
You can blend the colours together to get a truly lovely look (and we have a colourless blender that helps achieve a blended look).
I first trailed these markers at convention and I was impressed right away! Not only do they sit in my hand nicely (they are ergonomically designed) but they are so smooth! The other thing I immediately noticed- there is NO NASTY SMELL! Some alcohol markers make my head swim with the smell they give off but these ones don’t!
Needless to say… I ordered all 24 right away! I couldn’t resist and I have been happily playing with them all month (and I still LOVE them!)
Here is VERY easy card I created using the markers. I chose 4 colours and just did a big colour across the cardstock- random and yes I did allow the colours to overlap. I then stamped in black ink (our dye based- I have had ZERO problems with this ink bleeding on me) a sentiment. I added some flowers that I coloured and my white enamel stars (also coloured with the markers) and I was done!
I highly recommend you get a marker and try it out BUT I know you will want MORE so if you order 6 markers from me this month I will buy you a colourless blender!!

HI there, I love your work and your blog! I found this post particularly interesting and was wondering if you have a tip for coloring our CTMH sequins? I am trying to add this technique to a project at our ‘Stamp Camp’ this weekend and am having trouble getting uniform color. It seems kind of blotchy.
Thanks for your help,
Dawn
Dawn I sent you an email- please let me know if you don’t receive it!
Thanks!
Hi Brae, Thank you for your reply. I was working on my project again and found that different color markers gave me a better result on the sequins.
Thanks & Happy Stamping!
Dawn
thank you for the great tips I love these markers & want to find as many uses as possible
