Eye Love Hue, HP Distribution, WoodUbend...Oh My!!

If you follow any of my social media pages you know I am all about my affiliate companies: HP Distribution, Eye Love Hue Paint, WoodUBend USA! They are amazing at supporting artists from all around the world, helping us achieve a broader clientele as well as providing us with products that we can show off to you, our followers so that you can create your own masterpieces.

One thing to know about each of these companies is that they are ALL owned by WOMEN!! How amazing that these women have created such great products used all around the world! With that said, let's dive right in and learn more about each of these companies, what they offer and even hear from their owner's themselves about what they strive for, their vision and how their company began.

1st off: HP Distribution LLC

I was contacted by Heather, the co-owner of HP Distribution in August of 2020 to discuss becoming a Content Creator for her company. I was completely honored and so appreciative as I've worked really hard to make quality pieces. Both Heather and Pam joined forces to create HP Distribution with the goal of offering many amazing products that compliment paint in one place. So what all do they offer?

1. Grace on Design Decoupage Packs

These are a unique set of Decoupage paper. Each set (yes, set!) comes with 3 pages in difference sizes.

1 sheet 24x36 Main Image

1 sheet 18x24 Pattern Image

1 sheet 12x18 Main Image

Heather and Pam created a unique paper unlike any other decoupage paper. It can withstand being applied and pulled up if it needs to be rearranged within a timely manner without ripping. The details within the paper are so clear, bright and beautiful. Having a set of papers that you can use on both a small or large piece that also includes a companion piece for drawer sides or accents is great! Even better....They all come rolled and shipped in a tube to avoid any creases. You can apply these papers using the wet method (clear coat), Iron on (clear coat and then using a crafting iron once tacky) or my personal favorite: Adhesive Spray. You can find a video of exactly how I do that on my blog or by watching a tutorial video here.

You can also find Hokus Pokus Transfers, Zibra Paint Brushes and Surfprep Sanding Pads.

1. Hokus Pokus Transfers are decals

that are rubbed onto a surface and clear coated over.

2. Zibra Paint Brushes are synthetic paint brushes that leave a smooth finish without the streaks from bristles and have unique cuts to them for various projects and hard to paint surfaces.

3. SurfPrep Rad Pads are a set of sanding pads that feature a soft cushioned side and an abrasive side. This is great because it doesn't hurt your hand or fingers when you need to sand. They come in different grits for all your sanding needs.

#2. My next Amazing Affiliate company is Eye Love Hue Paint!! Founded in 2018 after 2 years of research and experimentation, Eye Love Hue was born out Kelly’s love for color, furniture, passion for creativity and a desire to encourage other artists to build a business on a foundation of what inspires them. Here's what Kelly has to say about her wonderful paint line:

"Eye Love Hue is a low VOC acrylic mineral (chalk) paint that was created with furniture artists in mind. Easy to use, durable, self leveling, and bold colors are a few of its features. We always recommend proper prepping before using the paints and then sealing with a top coat or wax for extended durability. At Eye Love Hue, we believe that artists should be able to use quality products that work well with other brands and other creative elements to express their unique individuality."

I fell in love with the Eye Love Hue Paint line due to the amazing colors she has! With other paint lines I've had to mix multiple colors to achieve the shades Kelly has created in just one specific shade. They are bold, they are vibrant and they are unique! I mean, just look at this amazing color palette!!

Another thing I love about Eye Love Hue is that this paint requires little to no sanding! I can quickly (and I mean quickly) run my Surfprep Super Fine sanding pad over my layer of paint and it is butter smooth! Since I despise sanding this is a huge plus for me! Here's a video of how amazing the coverage Eye Love Hue is!

Whether you are looking for small 2 oz jars to test some colors or all the way up to 16 oz jars Eye Love Hue is the perfect paint for you!! You can't beat the way it self levels. The photo above of the blue men's valet was simply 2 coats of paint and their Mystic Shell Satin Clear Coat with distressing on the side. Not a brush stroke in sight!

Eye Love Hue also just released a brand new Designer Collection featuring new colors designed by Stacey from Renewed Spirit Home. These colors were inspired by the desert and her love for her family. They are so beautiful and such amazing earthy toned shades.

Whether you are looking for a new company to try out (definitely recommend the 2 oz jars for testing colors) or want to jump head first into a new project I highly recommend Eye Love Hue! You won't be disappointed!

#3. WoodUBend USA

I Love WoodUBend! It is such a unique and versatile product that anyone can use it. If you don't know anything about WoodUBend here is a great explanation from the owner of WoodUBend USA, Phyllis Van Gossen.

"WoodUbend is a wooden decorative moulding that when heated will bend. In its cold state, WoodUbend, is Sand-able, stainable, paintable and you can drill through it. This is a a game changer for interior designers, custom home builders, and crafters around the country. "

Sometimes you pick up a piece of furniture or in my case a jewelry box that is just a bit plain and boring. It doesn't have any details or unique designs to it. WoodUBend is amazing at adding so much detail to your piece simply by applying heat and wood glue to the applique. In the photo above you can see just a SMALL sample of the amazing designs that they offer. You can add scrolls, trim work, florals, themes, keyholes, corner pieces, and even much larger designs for big pieces of work.

WoodUBend USA also carries the Posh Chalk Interiors line of products that features metallic pastes in both smooth and textured designs, patina waxes in bright and vibrant colors as well as their pigment powder line which is amazing for being able to hand paint on beautiful shades of gold and copper. I love using Pale Gold Pigments to simply add detail to my pieces for that regal and sophisticated look. Here's a quick 30 second video of how simple it is to use the Posh Pigments.

They also feature some really beautiful stencils that are absolutely amazing with the Posh Chalk Metallic Pastes. Check out this gorgeous mandala design that I completed using a blend of their Textured and non-textured pastes. Check out the video Here.

I even added some of their small trim to create a border around the edges of this canvas so it looks framed.

I don't think I'll ever get enough of adding all these amazing products to my pieces. Check out the photos below for some of my work and how much detail can be added. You can also check out a video of how I applied my WoodUBend pieces here.

Van Gossen Distributors, Woodubend USA, was opened in June of 2020 during the pandemic. They also carry Zibra paint brushes and offer classes in the use of our products on Thursday nights located in Pineville, Louisiana. Please help support another woman owned company and add that special touch of detail to your pieces!

#4. Amazon!

Lastly, I have an Amazon Influencer Affiliate account and here I have all the products I frequently used all in one place! The products are broken down into categories featuring tools for using WoodUBend, for applying Grace on Design decoupage papers and transfers, painting tools for Eye Love Hue, as well as products I use just for Jewelry Boxes. I don't select the most expensive products just to make money. I choose items that I would and have purchased myself because they are quality for a budget price. You don't have to go broke having a business.
