Time To Get Your Ink On!

What time is it?  It's time......to..... Get Your Ink On!

Do you get confused about what inks to use where?  Here are some tips that may help! FIRST:  Stock up on our Classic ink pads before they increase 55 cents EACH in about 10 days.

They're dye inks and are activated by water so they're best for basic stamping, but not for watercoloring.  Markers are also dye ink based.  It's always a good idea to purchase the refill along with your ink pad so that they'll last a long time.

StazOn (in Jet Black or White) is a solvent based ink & works well with watercoloring or on nonporous surfaces like Window Sheets. Don't forget the StazOn Cleaner when the ink is stuck on your rubber but NEVER use the StazOn Cleaner on photopolymer stamps.

VersaMark & our Whisper White Craft ink are pigment based inks.  They take a much longer time to dry because they leave a coating of ink on the paper that doesn't absorb well.  They are water soluble so you'll want to emboss them if you want to use another ink with them or watercolor. They can soak into a more porous card stock (like our colored card stock) for a great toned look. Stamping in Whisper White before embossing with Whisper White Embossing Powder will give you a more brilliant white on dark card stock. Have a super stampin' day!  Glitter Hugs!   Susan
