STAMPING HACK! (for using white embossing powder on darker cardstock!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лип 2022
- I get the best ideas from YOU, my UA-cam viewers. Many of you have encouraged me to use white pigment ink for stamping and embossing with white powder on darker cardstock for a smoother result. Today, I'll do a side by side comparison and see what shakes out!
I love both stamp pads, and find uses for both!
I've also seen my friend @GinaKDesigns-StampTV do this, with wonderful results. Spoiler alert: the pigment gives the best impression in today's video!

Some may know this but I just learned a swanky tip for embossing colored ink on dark cardstock from Marion Emberson. She has a “WOW embossing powder” channel that will blow your mind on what embossing powders can do. Anyway, on black cardstock first stamp with white ink, fry with heat tool, stamp over with your color of choice and emboss with clear. It was great ! She did an aqua color over back cardstock for an inside sentiment and it turned out great! Hope that was new to someone! Or I’m just way behind.
I've been watching her videos too! I've always hated how my white embossing powder was spotty. One thing Marion showed that really seemed to make for a smoother result on all embossing is to come in from the back to melt them.
I hope you meant dry 😆, I don't suggest frying the paper it smells bad and starts fires haha.
Thanks Cathy- I’ve always used black ink with clear embossing powder instead of black powder; I never considered white ink with white powder! Game changer!
I've rarely tried your idea! I should!
I legit just said “Holy Smokes” and you literally said it right after…Lol!!!
Thanks for showing us this, the white pigment ink is definitely nicer.
Would love to see you do this same thing with a thin/fine font sentiment to see if they blur
Will be trying! I have seen Gina K Designs do this with small sub sentiment greetings!
Already saw Gina K do that white pigment ink 👍, although, your test was amazing, what a difference, and that cleaningtip with that large one....priceless, thx so much 4 being you and your FAB channel 🥳😘
This comparison sure got me to thinking! What a difference the inks made!
Ok, I'm convinced! Pigment it is!!!
Very nice indeed! If any embellishments would be added, maybe blue! Those seemed to have a peach color, at least on the screen. Soon ready to try out my Lost Shadow, I’ve got a rubber background stamp that would look nice, I think. Your CZ Designs stamps are always wonderful, Cathy! 💌 🤍
This works great with gold pigment ink & gold embossing powder.
A lint roller is great for picking up powders and glitters that go astray. I only use extra fine white to get an even coat with text, it makes a big difference and yes to avoid losing powder heat from below to start. Chunkier white powders are great for sprinkling though, your material type and quality do matter contrary to what some will say. Fran from Stampendous is the Queen of "painting" with EP's and gas all kinds of fun tips and techniques. Her Frantage line has been around almost a decade. I highly suggest swatching every EP you own and get to know how they react and work on different surfaces and with different inks 😉.
Who would have thought, this was enlightening. Tyfs
Great experiment! Awesome
Wow... I am surprised. Thanks for sharing your experiment. I will start using my white pigment ink for embossing!!
Good luck!
I’ve been using pigment ink for embossing for decades, never gave it a thought that it was unusual I guess!
Tonics stamp cleaning tools are barnone the best for all ink types, hard to explain just take my word. The material grips and gets ink out of even my most detailed large Lavinia stamps. Then simply rinse with water and it air drys! Great stuff!
Great to know! TFS!!!
Wow the pigment did look better. Thank you for the comparison interesting
So glad you tried it and you liked it. I've been using Gina's white pigment ink when I want a white heat embossing for years. She showed it once on a video and I was sold ever since. Really makes a big difference. Maybe don't press so hard when using the pressure tool and it won't be as 'thick'.
Yes, I thin I pressed too hard on it. I won't give up on Versarmark, but maybe this is the best fit for white powder on dark surfaces!
I have been waiting for a video like this, thank you Cathy.
That’s fantastic!
Wow! I haven't tried the white ink. That is fantastic. My favorite has been black (or any other color) pigment ink and clear embossing powder.
Thanks for doing the work for us! 😊❤️
Great tip, Cathy! Can’t wait to this technique.
Yes! Great tips!! Thanks so much Kathy!
Kathy, I have been stamping since the late 1980s - early 1990s. The company that makes Versa Mark made it to be a watermark ink for stamping watermarks on medium colored card stock. They did not originally make it to be an embossing ink. The original embossing ink was called Color Box. Now the company has changed the Color Box line over to the Versa Mark Claire line. Still excellent colored embossing inks and you can use them with clear powder which doubles your ink colors.😊
Ohhhh, love that history! I did not know that! So I was using it correctly back in the day! I remember Color Box as a line. I never had any of their inks but I do have a few Versafine Claire inks and they are amazing!
Thanks, Cathy, for the comparing white embossing powder with inks!
WOW, that's amazing, thank you
Love the tip for cleaning pigment ink off the stamp! And I have a brush or two to designate for that purpose!
I always use white & white & black & black so I am happy to see you show it works better.
Whatever you are doing Cathy, you look fabulous!! Thanks for all your videos.
You are too kind!
Thank you so much for your amazing tips and tricks. I found it extremely helpful. ❤️
Cathy - Thank you for the test comparison! I had forgotten about this. TYFS 💕
You convinced me! Thanks, Cathy. What a difference!
Great tips! Thanks for sharing Cathy! :)
Awesome tip, thank you
Wow! It makes so much sense to use white pigment ink in this situation. Thank you for the demonstration!
A great tutorial! I’ll have to try this method also!
Yay for pigment ink! Bc I haven't bought the other kind yet and it looks amazing in your video. This video is very helpful. ❤
Wow, who would have known?! Looks amazing 👏
Great tip! Thanks so much.
Wow! That definitely made a better impression. Thank you Kathy for the side by side comparison to show this.
Thank you for sharing this tip!
Thanks so much, Cathy, for showing what a difference the white pigment ink makes with embossing white on bright/dark paper!
I always forget to do this!!! The difference is shocking!! Thank you !!!
Thanks. Exactly what I needed to know
Good tip😊💕
Thanks, that was great
I loved your experiment. I will definitely be trying this for myself. Gina has great inks so I feel I will not be disappointed. Thank you for sharing. xx
Great experiment! I am surprised by the side-by-side!!! Thanks for sharing!
The pigment ink is awesome. Thank you for this tip.
Great ideas, Cathy! Thank you!!
Great tip . Thank you.
What a wonderful tip, thanks.
Thank you! This demonstration was VERY helpful!
WOW! Cathy. It’s a game changer for sure. I really liked the pigment ink one the best. Thank you for sharing. Have a lovely weekend with your family.❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the great hack Cathy!!
There was definitely a difference using the white ink, crisper and thicker!! ❤️
I love experiments! Great video!!
Great tips Cathy!
Wow! I never would have thought of that and the results were definitely different even from the camera view. The white pigment was fatter but appeared much more filled in. Thanks for sharing. I will definitely try it out.
Great tip Cathy! Thanks for sharing! ❤🙂
Awesome tip! Going to test mine too! 🎉🎉🎉
I have used the old cat eye pigment inks from Colorbox with both clear and their own colors of powder for years. Just grabbed what was closest sometimes.
Thanks for showing us that ! Great experiment.👍
Two great tips! I like using white pigment ink when embossing, but had never seen a comparison like this, that was a cool experiment. I liked your stamp cleaning tip too, you're full or wonderful crafty wisdom! xoxo
Great experiment! I'm sold. I also love the cleaning tip :)
Oh yeah! Pigment ink is definitely the winner with the white pigment. Thanks for the tip! MaryLisa
White pigment ink has been on my wish list for a while. I guess it's time to purchase it. Your sample using white ink shows more than a slight improvement. Thanks so much for sharing the results Cathy. Can't wait to try this.🌷🌷
Great tips! Thanks for the video, love learning new things.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Cathy - I am never happing when I use embossing powder, so will have to try this.
Great Demo! Cool results.
Thanks Cathy - I had no idea you could use embossing powder with white pigment ink! I’m going to play with that today!
Great tip, Cathy! Hope I remember it when I go to emboss something!
Looks like I will be buying some white pigment ink! That looks great and I've been having trouble trying to emboss. I'm new to it. Thanks for the cleaning tip, too!
I tried the white pigment ink with white EP and it's great! Thank you for the extra tip about cleaning off the stamp with a blending brush and stamp cleaner - who knew? YOU did! TFS all your tips and tricks, Cathy.
Glad it was helpful!
Really makes a big difference! Thanks for sharing your experiment. Wow
Thanks for watching!
Thanks. Using the pigment ink is something I need reminding of! The cleaning hack was great!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this. I used the pigment ink trick, because I watched this. Improved my sentiments immediately.
Wonderful!
What a great idea! Here's a hack that I find incredibly helpful. If you have embossed a find image and have little areas that the embossing powder didn't stick, you can fill in the fine area with a fine tip pen (has to be one that the ink is slower in drying), apply embossing powder and heat. This works best for me with black and white embossing powder using black and white pens.
Oh good idea!!!
I just tried this Cathy - I'm sold with the new method!!! Thank you!!
Wonderful!
Oh Ginny this mini album is just out of this world precious. Makes me feel cooler just looking at it. Love the tailored look with all your beautiful borders. Thanks so much.
???? Maybe wrong video! lol.
Gold and silver pigment ink and clear embossing powder is amazing.
Oh, I have never tried it!
Love this tip, Cathy - thank you so much. Learned a lot in that one video - white pigment ink works really well and a blending brush is great for cleaning stamps.
Glad it was helpful!
Definitely going to try the pigment ink for embossing now. Can’t believe how much better your results were! Fantastic tip! Thank you so much for showing this. I’m also gonna get a brush for stamp cleaning too.
Glad it was helpful!
Great test!! Thanks Cathy. So, looks like I need some Gina K white pigment ink and that SSS stamp cleaner. 👏👏👏
Lol! Well they are great products!
Wow! I am so going to have to try this out. I have a brand new Gina K white pigment ink pad that I haven't even opened up yet. Perfect timing.
Have fun!
Great card Cathy! Thanks for the reminder of using pigment ink for embossing! Love the tip about using one of our blender brushes to clean our stamp off instead of smearing white ink across the misty🤬 thank you!!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great experiment. Thank you for sharing. I've always used Versa Mark, but will definitely try the white ink now.
Give it a try!
Thank you Cathy! ❤️👏🏻❤️ I never would have thought of that and especially not for white embossing!
Same here! I'm going to be playing with my white pigment ink more!
@@czdesign IKR!! I am always surprised by "the little things" that can make or break my success with my supplies - this is one of them. Thank you for showcasing this little thing! ❤️😘
I love that powder tool from Taylored Expressions!
Me, too!
Gold pigment ink with gold powder looks so great.
Nice to see the comparison. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Hope you do more of these. Great to see the difference in products and how to use them. 😍
I will have to try the cleaning hack. Stamping and embossing are mysterious to me. Thanks for some clarification!
Cathy you can also use a soft toothbrush for cleaning pigment ink. I use a flat head the kind you get free from the dentist after you get you teeth cleaned
I’m not sure the white holds the powder better, but it sure gives you white to show through any blank specks vs the color of the card stock.
Yes, that's my thinking!
Back in the 90’s I always used pigment ink for embossing. Instead of buying multiple colors of embossing powder, I’d use colored pigment ink with clear embossing powder (not metallics, white or black).
Oh that is smart!
Hi, Cathy L - Exactly! I am surprised that people are unaware of this. You can use any color pigment ink (think of all the Colorbox colors, for ex) and emboss with whatever color powder you pour over the wet ink. For white powder, white ink is a home run... but in a pinch you can use any color pigment ink you have.
I’ve always used pigment ink for embossing but I never stamped twice OR you can also stamp and re-emboss right over again, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen that too! But I haven’t tried it yet. Good tips! Good video Cathy! Thx!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Maybe I didn't need to stamp twice!
@@czdesign well the white pigment one you did looked great! I actually stoped embossing because I got so frustrated with it having holes or empty spots. We didn’t have powder back then either so I’m going to try again with all the new tips. You still make my favorite cards!
I never white emboss because it’s always blotchy. I definitely need to try this!
Great look at this other possibility for white embossing! I don’t have Gina’s ink, but do have another. I’m gonna give this a try, thanks to your experiment! TFS, Cathy, you’re a good teacher on lots of art topics. 💌
Have fun!
Was going to emboss with a copper metallic ink today….first stamped with a terracotta color ink just in case, then Versamark, then the powder and it came out looking great. I plan to look for inks that match the various powders I have and put those down first, then Versamark
(Continued…) And then the powder, just in case there are spots that don’t get good coverage. Thanks for your tips, CZ. 😊
great,, i have seen this done but never a side by side
You are correct. The control is the versamark and the on-test is the white pigment ink. You have completed a DOE (Design of Experiment)...science. 😄
Thanks for that!
