We’re so excited about our 2015 releases that we can’t wait until January to begin the unveiling. So, without further ado, meet some of our latest innovations!
Texture, color, and shimmer for almost every surface: introducing an expansion to our Creative Medium line, Creative Medium Metallic and Creative Medium Iridescent. Available in four Metallic and six Iridescent colors, these versatile new Creative Medium colors can be spread, dabbed, and stenciled for subtle highlights or stunning effects. Creative Medium Metallic and Iridescent work on almost any surface including paper, acrylic, metal, wood and fabric.
In addition, our new products include tools for getting the most out of Creative Medium: Palette Knives and Doodlestix.
Let your creativity go wild! Here are just a few ideas:
Stencil Creative Medium Metallic or Iridescent onto a surface using a Palette Knife for smooth, even coverage.
Creative Medium in Metallic Silver stenciled onto ribbon
After applying or stenciling Creative Medium, add details using DoodleStix.
Creative Medium in Metallic Bronze applied to Hand-Cut Monterey Pine
While Creative Medium is wet, sprinkle with beads, glitter, embossing powder or other embellishments.
Creative Medium in Iridescent Pink stenciled on cardstock and embellished with microbeads
Use Iridescent on dark-colored surfaces for bold, stunning effects, and on light-colored surfaces for subtle color and shimmer. Multiple effects from one jar!
Creative Medium in Iridescent Green stenciled on black and white papers.
Use a Palette Knife to create dimensional effects.
Creative Medium Metallic in Bronze applied to Hand-Cut Monterey Pine
Creative Medium Metallic are available in four colors: Gold, Silver, Copper and Bronze, which coordinate with the metallic colors in our irRESISTible line. Creative Medium Iridescent are available in 6 colors: Pink, Blue, Teal, Chartreuse, Green and Purple.
DoodleStix make great tools for Creative Medium, acrylic paint, ink and more.
DoodleStix 5-pack set
DoodleStix can be used on any surface (such as an IMAGINE Crafts Craft Mat, Gelli Plate or paper) to move ink, paint and pastes. Use to add details in Creative Medium or other thick mediums, or use for etching. The soft silicone tip is easily cleaned and resists staining. Each set contains 5 different styles: Angle chisel, Cup chisel, Cup round, Flat chisel, and Taper point.
Get smooth, even coverage of Creative Medium, acrylic paint, and other mediums with Palette Knives. Or, use to build up or shape mediums for texture effects.
Palette Knife 3-pack set
Use the trowel for spreading and smoothing large areas, the diamond trowel for reaching small areas, and the Scotty knife for spreading, scraping and adding texture.
In the coming weeks, our talented Artists in Residence team will bring you many more ideas, techniques and projects using Creative Medium, DoodleStix and Palette Knives.
And we’re not done yet — stay tuned for further announcements of our new-for-2015 products!

I love that iridescent creative medium – absolutely gorgeous – who doesn’t love to add a bit of sparkle and shine to their projects. Like those doodlestick too – might encourage me to make better use of my gelliplate
Wow, that creative medium in iridescent green on the white and black paper looks amazing!! I am definitely interested in this product! And the metallic too. I have a lot of stencils, both metal and plastic versions that I could use this product with. But it is great that it has other uses too. And the doodlestix look interesting too. Can’t wait to see what your DT does with these products. 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
