- Edit: No need to take notes during this video, I created an ink pad cross reference sheet you can print for free here: thefrugalcrafte...
Are you confused by all of the ink pad choices available today? Are you worried that you are going to buy the wrong kind? Today I am going to offer advise on choosing the right inkpad for you. If you have any question please leave a comment (or read other's comments to see if the question has been asked already:) and I will help you pick the right ink for you. There are many good brands out there and today I will share my favorites:) I will post a recap on my blog this weekend: thefrugalcrafte...
PS I forgot to mention Distress Ink, I really don't consider it a stamping ink (the ink beads up on stamps) more of a specialty ink for direct to paper techniques, water-coloring and blending. You can do many of the same techniques with the dye based stamping inks I recommend. distress inks are fun but not a basic must have, I would get good dye stamping inks before investing in Distress. I'm not knocking them at all, I use them and they are fun, just not a beginner must have supply! Music credit (if music is present in video) Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)

I learned this by mistake. Ink up your stamp with clear embossing ink or glycerin (it will soften and moisturize the rubber and loosen old ink) and let it sit overnight. Then clean it the next day with stamp cleaner or simple green. If any stain remains it will not affect your stamping but it should be nice and clean! I never wash off the clear ink because it dos the stamps good! It is also great for reviving old dried out rubber stamps!
Lindsay...a tip for you. You mentioned Simple Green...I LOVE it. I don't know if you are aware of it but you are not supposed to dump the dirty water down your drains when using acrylic paint. It will clog your pipes something crazy. So what I do is I use one of the big plastic buckets you can get at a home improvement store and I dump about 6 to 8 ounces of Simple Green into the bucket. As I paint I dump dirty water in the bucket making sure to swish the water around to get most of the acrylic out of the brush basin. Then I can wash the brush basin clean in the sink. Most of the acrylic went into the bucket and the Simple Green makes the studio smell so good. Now as to dumping the water out of the bucket. I take an old t-shirt and cut the front away from the back. I lay 1 layer the t-shirt out in a spot of my lawn that I'm not too worried about and slowly pour the bucket onto the t-shirt letting the solid acrylic to get caught up in the the fabric of the shirt. The water that goes into the ground does have some acrylic in it but far less than you would have been dumping down the drain. I toss the t-shirt into the trash after it has had tie to drain and dry a bit.
Deborah Lynch great ideas
I simply 💓 your enthusiasm, channel, style and cockpit. I have picked up so much from your tutorials.
Personally I think YT is only good for educational/craft tutorials, regardless of their age. That's the great part of crafting it never ages, it continues to improve but never ages. I can't believe how far crafting has come over the decades, when we self taught to wherever are today. Now it is a gigantic and hugely profitable industry that applies to all ages and genders.
A person always stays out of trouble if they keep their hands busy. We need to encourage children from when they first show an interest. I enjoyed sewing at school and started making my own clothes before my teens. Ballroom dancing, it was the only way I could afford my gowns. My mother taught me to knit and crochet and I progressed along with the craft industry and fades.
Now YT tutorials continue to teach me. Anytime of the day or night. So seriously, a huge thank you for your wonderful tutorials.
I love your style of presenting, very energetic and fun to watch, PLUS I learn so much! I would rather watch videos of someone like you, who is funny and natural rather than an 'over-rehearsed, monotone / flat voiced person with no energy'. Never change.x
I agree. I have tried many times to watch other videos but I give up after about five minutes. The videos either have bad sound and/or light or an echo and I don't not trust people with perfectly manicured nails.
THANK YOU... I learned an extremely valuable tip from this video that has dramatically improved both the quality of my stamping and my enjoyment of the whole process... which was... leave the stamp on the surface long enough to let the ink transfer to the paper! I will always be grateful for that tip. Thanks again and have a great day! :)
Not sure if you'll see my comment since this video was done 3 years ago but I wanted to thank you because stamping inks completely confuse me and you took my confusion away! Also I love all your videos and your lighthearted and goofy sense of humor. I also like how easily you show us how to do projects; you make it sound accessible for any crafter; beginner or advanced, so a big thank you for just being you! :)
thanks!
That's right, she's got talent to make things easy for newbies ! This is comforting (I'm french and not sure about this word...), so thanks for being around !

Regarding the glue pad, I learned from video at Scrapbooking Made Simple, you stamp with it and can apply gilding flakes to it or decorative foils. Love your informative videos.
Great info and COMPLETE overview. I love that you aren't afraid to mention some of the "cons" about different inks and input little gems of wisdom (stamp cleaners, etc.) along the way. You're always a must-see for me.
My favorite glycerin resist is done by inking up your stamp with clear embossing ink or glycerin, then stamping on plain white cardstock and sprinkling with clear embossing powder. Then spray, brayer or dab ink over it (or watercolor over it) and wipe with a clean towel. the embossed are will be bright white. Looks like batik. Or you can stamp with resist ink on glossy white card, let dry well (or heat set) and brayer dye ink over it, it looks like a ghost image. Have fun!
as a beginner crafter I have to say your channel has been most helpful and informative not to mention a great time to watch!! thanks for all you do!! Happy New Year!!!
Whenever I am feeling down or non creative, I love coming to your video's as I am certain to be cheered up or get a load of inspiration from your bubbly efforvescent personality. Love your video's!
Mitchell Webster aww, thanks!
I'd say a table spoon baby shampoo in a 6 oz bottle, add a few drops of glycerin if you live in a dry environment otherwise you can skip it because baby shampoo has glycerin in it already. Then just spray and wipe:) For rubber I use a 1 part simple green to 9 parts water but I can use more SG if the ink is stubborn (ie did not clean the stamp right away) and you can use SG on the clear too if needed but follow up with the baby shampoo cleaner to get rid of any residue:)
Lindsay, I have been watching you for about a year now and I find you so creative, funny and your bubbly personality is a breath of fresh air!
yes, I would use glycerin and I would dip a calligraphy pen or blending marker (waterbased) in it to write then sprinkle and heat emboss. You can even mix in some dye reinker or liquid watercolor to make colored ink. I would get a small plastic palette with wells and a cover so you can save what you do not use right away. If the ink is too thick add a drop or 2 of water.
I use a fine emery board on my silicone (read-cheap clear stamps) and for my better quality clear I find just washing them first does the trick, stamp on a scrap first and it will hold ink better on the second inking:) Also an inkpad with a foam pad rather than a felt (the ones you have are felt) will ink up a clear stamp better:)
I have no idea what simple green does to clear stamps, I used to use it too and never noticed ill effects but since I heard not to (from Simple green-not a stamp cleaner maker LOL!) I have used baby water+shampoo+ glycerin or I leave out the glycerin if the shampoo has it already and it works great too. I use SG for rubber though. Maybe it is fine for clear but it makes them yellow faster, who knows, just erring on the side of caution. I have been known to use baby wipe to clean stamps too!
Sure Aide, Dye inks are vibrant, transparent and quick drying, also they will fade if exposed to light for long periods. Chalk inks are opaque, quick drying, the colors are muted and they are not prone to fading due to the pigment (not dye) used to make them;) Neither of these inks are good for heat embossing. Does this help?
Thanks! Staz on is a solvent based pad. There are dye based pads that are also water proof on paper. I like Stampin Up Basic Black for water-coloring. It is not a really dark black though so many people dislike it. Ranger Archival black is also waterproof. Make sure you let them dry fully before mod-podging over them tho:)
I like Versafine Onyx black, it is super dark. You need to heat set it or give it plenty of time to dry tho but it will stamp darkly over rough surfaces. Or staz on which will dry quickly on anything and is waterproof.
I can't believe I did not talk about chalk ink. Chalk ink is wonderful fo inking the edges of paper for cards and scrapbooks. It dries quick (like dye ink) but is opaque (like pigment) but has a muted matte finish. It works well with most stamps. I don't use it that often because I prefer brighter colors but I do keep a brown and black chalk cat's eye pad in my scrap bag for distressing edges! Try stamping with it and see what YOU think;)
it is a moisturizing oil found in plants. It is used in soaps and candy making as well as pharmaceuticals. it is clear and comes in a bottle at the pharmacy or health food store:)
Hi Lorna, if your baby shampoo has glycern in it (most do) you can leave glycerin out of the recipe. I use about a tablespoon in a 6 oz bottle, shake and spray!
I think this is my first Frugal Crafter vidoe, but I loved your enthusiasm! I'll watch more!
Kathy Patterson thanks!
If they are an alcohol ink it will say "Alcohol or Solvent" in the packaging. The most popular solvent inkpad is Staz-on. I think Inkadinkado makes some small alcohol ink cube pads too.
I have not tried them, if you have a stamp store nearby that sells them they should be able to demo them for you. I will say I used the new SU pads at a party last month and they are very juicy, it might just be the type of pad, foam vs. felt.
What fun you bring to my day! It's a lazy day here in NH. Waiting for my garden to dry out so I can press more flowers. I've been watching your videos all morning and ran across this one. I've learned so much from you. Your humor is a delight! I intend to print out this list about the ink pads. Thanks again! Let us know when you are doing another Farmer's Market or craft show. I'd love to drive up and meet you. That is, if you wouldn't mind. Happy crafting to you too!
I'm new to stamping and found you. Even though this video is almost 4 years old, it still applies for me. Thank you for sharing this on UA-cam. You are hilarious and yes I learned a lot, so thank you! (12/9/2016)
Just watched your video on inks,like the tip on memento inks and alcohol blending. Archival inks do bleed a bit. Looking forward to your questions and answers video.
ohh dear anyway, was taught to remember my A B Cs when talking inks. A is for alcohol the quickest to dry...C is for Chalk the next fastest to dry...D for dye based ink takes a little longer to dry more work time and finally P for pigment inks very slow drying time making them good for embossing. So just think the further you have to recite into the ABCs the longer the work/drying times.
Hi Lindsay! Thank you for the WEALTH of stamp pad information! You really helped me to understand the plethora of stamp pads. I could never figure out which one to buy. It just made my head swim! I thought everyone was in-the-know and that I was alone in my cluelessness. Hopefully, no more hit or misses for me (fingers crossed). Also thank you for sharing your stamp pad cleaning & maintenance tips! I always learn so much from you!
I just wanted to also share a bit of information with you, if you don't mind? "Tsukineko" sounds similar to the "suki" as in "sukiyaki" or as in the name "Sue" but with a "t" sound in front. "Tsue" is a blended sound. For example, the color "blue" wouldn't be pronounced, "ba-loo", just "blue". So "tsu" is not "tah-soo" or "tuscan", but "tsu" like "tSue". "Ki" sounds like "kee" -- like the English word "key", as in "turkey". "Neko" is pronounced "neh", as in the word "nest"...but without the "st" sound -- just a short, clipped, "neh" sound (not "nay" or "knee", but "neh") and the last syllable is "ko" as in "cocoa". So all together, "Tsukineko" is pronounced, "tsue-kee-neh-co" not tuscan-nico. The vowel sounds in Japanese are like the vowel sounds in Spanish and Hawaiian. a = "ah", i = "ee", u = "oo", e = "eh", o = "oh". All sounds are short, except for "o". Mahalo nui loa!
+Gloria Jakahi thanks, I hope I can remember that:)
I like Memento and tombow markers best. If you like to write in cards and scrapbooks choose memento because it has a good juicy fine tip nib too! Avoid Whispers and LePlume markers, they wear out quickly and are not juicy. If you live in the USA you can get memento marker 4 packs at Joanna fabrics for $6on sale every few weeks:)
I have to let you know that I am Hooked on your blog and videos, I have learned so very much and absolutely love your whimsy energetic artsy personality; so much fun to watch, just can't stop!!! LOL You have really inspired me to try so much more with my crafting and I really appreciate all the time you put into them to help the rest of us who are still learning. Hope you have a wonderful day!!!
both, you can use one cup SG and 10 cups water or 1 oz SG and 10 oz water, you can use whatever measurement you like, jut keep it at a 1 to 10 ratio and honestly you don't even have to measure, you can be approximate;) Just pour some SG and water in a bottle and you are good to go my friend;)
Watching this 7 yrs later. Awesome video. Thank you.
Hmm, I could probably do that, I really like the Tombow, Memento, and SU, I fing the LePlume, Whispers and Distress a bit lackluster though.
Your silliness always makes me smile! :-)
I just love you! You make this whole "crafty, artsy" thing seem not so daunting. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I am just starting to gather supplies to start card making. Actually I believe I will be making my first card this week!! YAY!!!
You help us beginners not feel so overwhelmed with all this video-learnin' and all. Have a great week!
thanks so much, have fun making that card!
I'm watching this in sept 2015. It's good to see how sophisticated, and professional, your videos are now...😂 nah, it's great to see you are still great fun and fame hasn't gone to your head 😂
Ha! got you beat...Its is now March 2020 and this vid is hilarious!
Do you mean the dylusion spray inks? They are not alcohol ink. They are water basement dye ink and I do have a video, I can't post a link here but go to my channel and look back a few videos for the Riyadh spray ink video I posted last week :) hope that helps, if not give a holler :)
Memento, I like tuxedo black and rich cocoa. the ink will not smear when colored over:)
Hi Lindsay and thanks a lot for your wide and accurate explanations about ink pads. Could you please let me know which ingredients do you use for cleaning rubber stamps? I found hard to understand what you are saying. Thanks!
I love your energy! And you're hilarious. Lol. But mostly I love all the tips & info you provide. You really save us 'newbies' from a lot of stress & confusion!! Ty!
Thank you so much for your answer, i just bought a cricut expression, my daughter and i want to begin to do card craft, but we dont know anything about that, just what i see, here where we living there no place to go for take lessons, i dont know where start and which inks, pads, stamps, punches, etc...buy, we are living on diamond bar, california, so all your help is more than welcome, and i want to say that you are wonderful for help us and share your tips, thanks so much.
thanks for letting us know about Ranger archival, can you watercolor over the black?
Great video! You answered many of my questions. I'm an old stamper trying to get back into it but so many things have changed. I stocked up on Memento ink pads, Tim Holtz distress ink pads of all kinds and I have every marker imaginable. I thought I could emboss with all of them, but I didn't understand the difference between dye and pigment inks. Now I do. Should I invest in colors of pigment inks (ugh)....I do have black Versafine and all kinds of powders and such. What should I do to be able to emboss just about anything? I have all the tools of the trade. I just can't imagine buying more ink. I have acrylic paints too of all kinds because I paint mandala stones. I'm Looking for EASY, good quality, and as inexpensive as possible.
+Kandice Heller ink your stamp with clear embossing in then with the colored dye ink and it will emboss
What a great idea! I did see that Memento has the Luxe line available but I didn't want to have to spend more money. Thank you so much for a wonderful idea. Thank you so much. Now I can call myself a FRUGAL crafter!! You are AWESOME!!
Enjoyed watching your video, very helpful tips for beginners. I notice you used a metallic kind of ink for a pigment example. Which pigment ink pad exactly did you use for the rubber hand stamp onto the white paper?
Bought lots of stuff back when scrapbooking became popular - didn't like it at all. Pulled everything out after watching your videos and would you believe the ink pads are still juicy??? I was so confused about which ink to use (still don't know what "distressed" is) .... typed in the search bar and guess who came up. Could have saved myself a little time and gone straight to your channel page - I knew you would have a video on it ! Thanks...now I just wish there was a printout of what you said somewhere !!!! Love ya Lindsay...patti
Sorry...I just read your description box !!!!
Howdy do, great craft room! Im new to stamping, i noticed the ink pads dont seem to have alot
Of ink , can I just get some roll on black ink and re wet the ink pads, so I dont have to buy new ones,? You are so cute and seem like alot of fun! Thanks for all the helpful hints, best to yoy, Tammy
no worries, I planned on talking about them but plum forgot!
1cup water, 1 TABLESPOON baby shampoo, 1/2 teaspoon glycerine
For what? I am looking for a way to moisten old ink pads that have
dried and with what.
This is a great video! There's so much information jam packed into a few minutes that I'll have to watch it again, LOL! Thank you for taking the time to create such an interesting demonstration!
I literally just bought my first stamps & inks earlier this evening! Thank you sooooo much for this guide & the cheat sheet! All so helpful! 👍🏾
No I did not buy them, I tried them at a party and they were really nice, they don't seem to sink in the center like my well-used SU pads do, I am thinking of replacing my old black pad for the new foam pad though. I have so many inkpads already I can't justify buying all new ones;) I wish I knew if the stampin spots have been changed to foam, my demo did not know. Bottom line, I'd reccomend the new SU pads, I think they cost the same as Heroarts and SU reinkers are pretty inexpensive.
I am so glad you have all your videos available to re-watch. I saw this one a few months ago when I first got interested in stamping (you did that!!) and remembered your overview and cheat sheet about inks. I started accumulating inks and started to get confused about pigment inks and dye inks, and what was useful for what. So I went back looking for this one and your notes. Thanks for all the info you give us!! This is one of your wackier videos :) but I love your enthusiasm and you make me laugh! I wish I had found your channel years ago!!
I just have to tell you ... you are just wonderful! I love, love, love your tutorials... and I have learnt so much from all your information - so generously and so enthusiastically offered every time... Thank you for the Inspiration always! You rock!
thank you!
I really like your "fancy" cinder block marker storage!! Now I want to do that for my loose markers!!!
Hi from England!!! Thank you for such a great video!!! My next project will be making wrapping paper on a budget....can you recommend a few ways to get a crisp finish using black in (pens or pads) on a budget?
Great video. Simple. Very informative. U mentioned the mixtures in parts for the rubber cleaners but u did not mentioned the mixture parts for the clear stamps. How much of baby shampoo..glycerin and water. Thk u
Here is a real tip I give my ladies,
I use used tumble drier sheets and pigment inks to blend and distress with. Because both are greasy you can really rub hard without damaging the paper. With the advantage of a nice smelling card too. Have a go!!
that is an amazing tip, thanks for sharing!
Thank you sooooooo much for sharing all of your knowledge. It feels like I am in the Home Depot plumbing aisle sometimes when I try something new in crafting. Now, I just head to your channel and find a video. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. I had NO idea there was this much to stamping. I am just a beginner.....thank you so much.
I am a subscriber for sure!
Hello! I've just started carving my own stamps and right now I am carving them from big pink erasers. I didn't know to leave the stamp on to let the ink transfer, so thank you so much for this video!
What I love about your video is its "flawed". I love the tangents and the silly stuff. Its so fun to watch a real animated person! Thank you. :)
aww, thanks!
Awesome teacher Lindsay!
I'm learning so much from you watching all your videos one after another. Everything is amazing. I'm kind of new to the crafting world, just work with some basic techniques. I'm from Brazil and recently I bought some Distress ink pads and they will take a long to arrive in my country. I know they're not really meant to stamping but I was told that it works just fine if you use a resist ink pad on the stamp first and go with the distress. Have you ever tried it and know if it's true? If it is, I must buy some resist ink pad right now because I love distress colors and it'd be wonderful to stamp with them.
Hi Lindsay, I sure enjoy watching your videos....I bought lots of, tsukineko ink refill a couple years ago when a little craft store was going out of business,tsukineko
dyes, pigment and all purpose inks ..this video was real helpful for uses......so do i need to put the ink on a pad for it to work properly? and can I use these inks on rocks and or gourds? or do you know? also do you have to heat set? any of these inks ...look forward in watching you again......Thanks Jimi Sue
So sorry, I forgot to say many thanks for all you do, giving us so much to be better crafters.
This video is as useful today (2017) as when you made it! It's wonderful to go back and forth in your videos and do time travel😊
I would like to know about ranger archival vs. Tim Holtz vs. Jane Davenport Squid inks...for ink pads up against both watercolor and alchohol markers
Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I just recently got into stamping (I saw a stamp at Michael's that I just couldn't live without and next thing you know I have a collection) but I've been clueless when it comes to ink. This has been super helpful! Thank you so much!
welcome to the wonderfully addicting world of stamping!
Pigment and chalk pads face up, dye based and solvent pads face down:) And that's the truth;)
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich Thank you I’ve never been quiet sure what was the best way to store my stamp pads.
Thank you so much for your suggestions on storing Ink Pads! I reorganized my ink pads and you cannot imagine what a difference there has been in stamping! They should let you know on the packagint how to store them! Thank you so very much for your hints! I am so glad I have come accross your videos! You are my faorite by far!
Lindsey, you are so much fun to watch! Plus you have such great ideas. I was wondering, though; can you make your own embossing powder? I would love to see that if it's at all possible.
IMP Mulcahy it is a fine ground shiny plastic...I have never made it but a jar of it goes a long way:)
Wow, alot of info. Thank you so much. You are so lively. It was enjoyable to watch you in action. I love your casual set up for your materials. I think it's great. So many people try to get fancy setups with everything matching and color coordinating that there's not much more money for the stamps and stamp pads. It's whatever works for you. And evidently this works very well for you I love the brick that just cracked me up. Reminds me of my high school days when I made a bookcase out of bricks. Thank you so much it brought back some good memories.
Hi Lindsay thank you so much for the information. I made some pigment ink using your instruction love using them. I was wondering if the ink refresher you use for the dye ink pad can be used for the pigment ink pad. if not do you have a suggestion for a refresher for the pigment ink pad. Thanks.
Use glycerin on it's own and add drop of water to the pad until it feels soft and spongy.
Hi so can you use all markers to stamp with ? Does it stain the clear stamps? I love watching you. You make crafting fun . Brightest blessings hun
Just the water based ones. They work best on rubber as they tend to need up on clear stamps. They wontvstain usually. Alcohol markers will stain and dry to fast to stamp with
@@thefrugalcrafter oh thank god I asked lol... thank you so much for getting back to me so fast . Stay safe brightest blessings hun.
Love your videos... I got confused regarding which way to store ink pads. @ 12:49 in video you said pigment inks should be stored facing up, then at 14:06 you said with pigment inks, face them down as they're very liquid. So which is correct? If anyone else has the answer, please respond. Thanks!
I have enjoyed watching you for many years (now 2020) and this tutorial and cheat sheet are an excellent resource to have. Had to comment that you look like a prim and proper schoolmarm in this video! just love listening to you.
Thanks Lindsay, for the recipe to remoisten Versipad and cleaning stamps. Great vid as usual!
instead of a glue pad, you could use a product called flitterglu, its from a company called indigoblu, based in the UK. its good if you want to stamp and use gilding flakes for a really shimmery image
JUST REMEMBER TO WASH THE IMMEDIATELY.
Dauber Duo's oh yes I have these and after all these years they are still some of my fav's, TFS, Kat
oh wow!...2013 video! I am now able to understand the different inks thanks to your ink pad cross reference sheet in 2019! Thank you!!
I'm a new stamping addict, and this was awesome! TY! I perfer pigment ink, but without embossing, it never seems to dry. Even days later, it still seems to smear. Any thoughts? Thanks.
you need to heat set it to dry up the glycerin that is in the ink:)
Well, I didn't think it could happen, but this video is funnier than the one you did on soldering! Informational, and entertaining!
vidbox44 LOL! Thanks!
Thanks for all the tips! I am trying to buy Stazon for every surface ink, but I only found Stazon that does not have "for every surface" on it. Are they the same? What is the difference? Can I use Archival ink instead Stazon for glossy surface, like domino?
I can't believe I haven't seen this video til now. Alot of great info. What ink do you prefer when using colored pencils ???
Memento if I am going to use solvents with them. Otherwise archival.
@@thefrugalcrafter thank you
Howdy Do' Lindsay. I just happened to find you and I am so HAPPY..Your my kind of crafter...I looked at how many video's you have and they will keep me busy for days... :) I tired to get the Ink Pad Cross Ref. Sheet but it wouldn't print.. Is there anyway you can share a link that I can print that, and I can't find the videos on how to make your own alcohol and pigment ink..I would appreciate any HELP? I am a New Subscriber and gave you a THUMBS UP! Thank you for sharing your talent of crafting with all of us...Victoria

How do you do Lindsay!!! Well a friend gave me like 20 of the oval small inks that stack on top of the other but some of them are good but others almost dry! and im not buying every color that i need just because they're small and quite a few do you have a cheaper way of hydrate them again????? Somebody told me water but i rather wait for your answer.....😀
You are so much fun. Loved the video. Love learning more about the inks I have. I have bunches and am lusting about buying more. What is it with crafting!!! More is never enough. At least not for this OCD person. Thank you. Look forward to your next one.
Lindsay, I love listening and learning from you. This video taught me so much that now I'm going to have to listen to it about 5 more times to get it all gelled in my head. How to sore the inks, make your own stamp cleaner, dabby daubers, or whatever, by tsuekinko? Wow! Love your videos.
oh, even better is can I have a "dessert" after breakfast?!? C'mon kids LOL!
I could not figure out the use of those kalidascope pads. Duh. I do not know why I didn't figure out that they push together. Thanks again. That is the first time I have heard a clear explanation for Memento inks.
Thank you for this video! Exactly what I needed as I'm starting to stamp. I do remember the dauber duos - does anyone know where I could purchase these? I haven't been able to find them and fear they have gone out of production. Thanks again!
I don't know if you have them posted anywhere, but the recipes for the various types of stamp cleaners would be nice to have. I have used Simple Green for a long time and had some guy from Ranger blast me for it. He was about 12-I have grandkids older than him! Love that stuff! It works.
Lindsay, this video is so useful today in 2019. Going through my crafts and purging, but I needed to review the purpose of my all stamp pads. Thanks for making me laugh and making it easy to enjoy cardmaking.
Lindsay...try SMS Glue Pad...I feel same as you...that one looks GOOD!!!
thanks!
Thank you Dana Oira for your question and Lindsay for your suggestion. I've been wondering the same thing. So would you suggest Ranger Archival apply for Moleskin, Midori and Hobonichi paper? Dana Oira, which paper would you suggest for watercolring? I'm considering investing in a Midori or Faux dori, but I was wondering if it can handle watercolor paints and black ink from pens and stamp pads, without bleeding.
+Gloria Jakahi yes I would:)
I am just beginning to use rubber stamps and use ink pads...especially pigment ink pads. My questions is should I use a blow dryer to dry the pigment ink when I stamp it.
no, it will blow the embossing powder away and it is not hot enough. I recommend an embossing heat gun meant for stamping (because the hardware store ones are so hot and have an exposed tip that can burn someone) I have had great luck with my Marvy Embossing gun, my first one lasted 8 years and this one is going on 9 years of daily use. I bought one on sale at harbor freight but after burning a dark spot on my table I gave it to my husband LOL!
I may have started a new hobby/obsession. A couple of days ago I ordered from Hochanda the Sentimentally Yours Portraits By Trudie Howard Complete Stamp Collection - 6 X A6 Stamps. Unfortunately they don't have the ranger archival or dew drops pads available individually so I'm stuck on what to get for my alcohol and watercolour markers.
I really wanted those as I know where I am with them.
Downloaded your cheat sheet so I'll have a look and see what else I can get :-)
I bought the ink pads I wanted on amazon :-)
I opened the archival ink pad a few days after buying it on amazon. I was disappointed with the results I got even though I used a stamping platform. I thought it might be down to me being too low to apply pressure so when I decided to try again last week I tried sitting on two cushions in my wheelchair rather than the just the one I normally have to see if it made a difference. It didn't :-/
I then came to the conclusion that my ink pad must have been dry when I first got it as it couldn't have dried up since as it was kept out of the sunlight until my stamping binder.
A few days ago I bought a reinker for it and one for the memento pad I have in case that's in the same condition. I haven't used it yet so I don't know.
Hi
What's the difference between rubber stamps and the clear one's?
Thank you for your answer, and you are the best.
Hilde Irizarry only the material they are made of, they do the same thing. Rubber give a better impression but clear is see-through and easy to use and store and cheaper. I prefer the cling mounted rubber to save storage space and still have the quality of rubber, but I use both kinds:)
Hi, Im new to the stamping world and I have to say that you are HYSTERICAL and I luv it! Learned alot and had a BLAST! Thx
Antonia Ortiz awesome, that is what I love to hear!
Thanks for doing this video. You eliminated the confusion about the different inks on the market.
