Stamping 411~ Stampin'Up! Ink pads

Hi Stampers :

Todays 1st video in  my  Stamping 411 series  will  be on  Stampin'Up! Ink pads .. I will highlight  the difference  between Classic / Craft inks ,  re inking your ink pads , and storage of your ink pads  with a  couple extra tid bits along the way.  Please click on  any photo to enlarge  your viewing

A shout out  for the Staz-On ink pad  and Versa Mark ink pad also included

Dawns Side note : The Versa Mark ink pad  could have a video all its own  since there are sooo many fabulous things we can use this  for.

  I bit of info I  forgot to mention in my  video  is that Stampin'Up! also has all 4 color  groups  in Stampin Spots .. These are  a smaller version of the full size ink pads.  The  Stampin Spots  measure appox. 1 1/4 " X 1 1 /4"   when you purchase the stampin  spots they also come in  their own little box  to hold all 12  spots .  This is  a wonderful   way  to get all the  color groups . You will have to re-ink them  more often  since they are small in size .  This would be a Great way to  try all the  colors  and see what ones  you  grab for the most and  then  you  may want  to buy those in  the full size ink pads . Just a thought .

Color groups for Stampin Spots are  listed below and sold in  color groups ONLY  :

Bold Brights: Classic ink # 105550/ Craft ink #105439

Earth Elements: Classic Ink #105551 /Craft ink # 105438

Rich Regals :Classic Ink #105552 /Craft Ink #105437

Soft Subtles : Classic Ink #105553/ Craft ink # 105370

  Re-inkers  are  also  available  for individual purchase or  color  groups as well

 

Hope  it helps  clear  up some questions  you may have had . 

 

Enjoy

Thanks Dawn for this special section! I would love to see how you use the cutter kit (106958). I haven't purchased it yet because I don't know how to use all of the items on it. Thanks!

Great Job Dawn! I've been using SU stamp pads FOREVER-and guess I didn't realize how to refill them with the reinker....guess I've been using WAY TOO MUCH reinker-thanks for the clarification.

If you can add to your growning pile of 411 suggestions...can you give us the scoop on using the SU Mat Pack. Have that product and love it....but know there is probably more I could be doing with it.

Thanks Dawn! Kadie

thanks Dawn for you little video. I really appreciated it as I am new to stamping and I saw the two different ink pads and really didn't know which one to buy, now I do.
thanks again

Thanks for the info. I have wondered about the reinkers and if you used them. I don't have any SU products and I'm looking into purchasing the Stampin Spots and use your great suggestion.

Blessings,
Becky

Thank you so much...I found this very helpful. I am looking forward to many more of your 411 videos. I would love to see a 411 video on the different kinds of embossing powders (thin/thick) and when to use which one.

Thank you for clarifying the differences in the ink pads. I really didn't know which ones to purchase but now I do! Thank you for teaching us so many new things from your site! As you say "LOVE IT"! Thanks Dawn for all the awesome work that you do!

Dawn~ Thanks so much for the "411" Here's a question; what does 411 mean? We must be a little out of the way here and I haven't heard the expression before.

[Debra]

the dye based ink pads are water soluble, so if you spill on your project the ink will run; the craft ink is pigment based and is permanent and will not run.

Thanks Dawn for your 411 on the ink pads. I'm a new SU gal and have to watch my pennies so therefore I purchased the ink spots along with the coordinating paper. I feel this is the most economical way if some one wants to get started. I just purchesed my second set of papers and ink spots and can't wait to get them. I love how the inks go with the paper.

Thanks Dawn for showing ink pads & how much to use re-ink on pad. I like new 411 video. Keep up.

Hi Dawn, I left a award on my blog for you. I really love your blog and you give me so much inspiration when it comes to stamping. Thank you for all of you awesome tutorials and for sharing your creativity!!!

Thanks Dawn, I have always ordered the classic because I never knew the diffrence I am going to order some craft ink today.

[Lisa]

Is it possible to re-post this 411 on stamp pads? I'm new to stamping and trying to learn more about how to care for my stamp pads and how to properly reink them!Thanks!

[Teresa]

Do you have a 411 on conditioning new stamps?

Your cards are so pretty, that I'd be interested in hearing how you 'break in' a new stamp.

Many thanks,
