Stampin' Up Ink Pads In Lieu Of

[CAKanfield]

Brand new to Stampin' Up

:confused: If you do not have a Stampin' Up Ink Pad yet what kind of stamp pad can you purchase from Hobby Lobby or Michaels to use until your order arrives; my order is taking 10 days! I do not want to ruin the Stampin' Up stamp that I currently have borrowed. Thanks!

I like VersaFine Ink and have had great results when using it.

Me too! I love VERSA FINE when I can get it. My HL stopped stocking it:( and we have no Michaels or anything waaaaa.

Versafine is good, DON'T get Staz On because that tends to stain. I'd go with a dye ink for sure. Craft inks seem messier if you're trying to protect stamps.

Thank You for all of your suggestions! I will look for VersaFine Ink or an Ink Dye this evening and see if our HL or Michaels carries it. Have FUN.

If you are going to HL, I am pretty sure they carry Brilliance Graphite Black. That will also not stain your stamps.

Thanks ... I will look for this brand also. Brillance Graphite Black.

The versafine is my favorite ink ever. It's a really black black. It will wash clean off your borrowed stamp too.

Also, you can use baby wipes as an additional cleaner. They seem to really clean up the stamps.

Ranger, Colorbox and Tsunikeno (probably spelled that wrong) are really good brands to look for. Don't buy "store brand" the ink doesn't seem to be as good.

I LOVE Brilliance inks, but be warned it's a pigment ink (like SU craft ink)- it won't dry as fast as a dye ink (like SU classic? ink).

I'm a Versafine girl, too! I love their black and sepia!

Good stuff!

I'd try the color box ink's, I really like the softness of them. I wish SU woould offer them again and in more colors.
