All About Inks

Using the right ink for your project is an important part of creating a successful stamping experience. Did you even realize there were so many ink choices? Here are the basic inks you'll find in our catalog. Let's discuss which one is best for which project.

#1 ~ Classic Stampin' Pad

These are the core of all of your stamping projects. They come in all 40 of our basic colors, plus the 10 In-Colors. These are water-based inks, quick drying, and are super easy to use. They clean up easily with water and the Simply Shammy, or Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and a Stampin' Scrub.

#2 ~ Memento Tuxedo Black

This is my "go to" black ink. This is the perfect ink for that sentiment that you want to stand out, and a must when coloring images with the Stampin' Blends. Memento cleans up easily with water and the Simply Shammy, or Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and a Stampin' Scrub.

#3 ~ Stazon Jet Black

This is a permanent ink, great for stamping on a variety of surfaces; paper, tiles, wood, glass, plastics, like our Window Sheets, and more! Use Stazon to stamp images when you want to water-color or use the new Water Painters. Stazon Cleaner is recommended for cleaning your cling stamps, then a quick rinse with water to protect the adhesive on the label.

#4 ~ VersaMark

Create tone-on-tone or watermark effects with this versatile ink. Stamp with VersaMark on cardstock to create subtle backgrounds. Use it with the Heat Tool and Embossing Powder to create beautifully shiny images. Stamp, sprinkle on the embossing powder, heat, done! Cleans up best with Stampin' Mist and a Stampin' Scrub.

#5 ~ Stampin' Spots

Classic Stampin' Ink in a smaller size. Great for stamping with the Stamparatus, or packing up while traveling. These adorable ink spots are the perfect way to start your ink collection. These felt ink pads come as set of 8 in a variety of classic colors. Check them out on page 147!

Now that you know which ink is the best for your project, grab something and stamp it!
