I get the best ideas from YOU, my RU-vid 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.

@zoedoodle9824 2 года назад

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.

@moemanley2579 2 года назад

I hope you meant dry 😆, I don't suggest frying the paper it smells bad and starts fires haha.

@lorimcosh2331 2 года назад

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!

@czdesign 2 года назад

I've rarely tried your idea! I should!

@krisvanallen 2 года назад

Would love to see you do this same thing with a thin/fine font sentiment to see if they blur

@czdesign 2 года назад

Will be trying! I have seen Gina K Designs do this with small sub sentiment greetings!

@sprgstn1016 2 года назад

I legit just said “Holy Smokes” and you literally said it right after…Lol!!!

@bethgintx 2 года назад

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'.

@czdesign 2 года назад

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!

@pammcclung861 2 года назад

I’ve been using pigment ink for embossing for decades, never gave it a thought that it was unusual I guess!

@dianeoneil9563 2 года назад

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.

@jenellstock2380 2 года назад

@lorettarush2691 2 года назад

This works great with gold pigment ink & gold embossing powder.

@donnabarlow3389 2 года назад

I think the pigment ink will look better with the white base and white powder since the base is white it fills in the gaps more then clear

@czdesign 2 года назад

Yes! For darker cardstocks for sure!

@mpbailey18 2 года назад

But of course it will! I was trying to figure out why this is a "hack" as it's totally logical...white on white will be .....whiter!

@cathylombard964 2 года назад

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).

@czdesign 2 года назад

Oh that is smart!

@lorispitzer8289 2 года назад

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.

@elizabethecsy2759 2 года назад

Great experiment! Awesome

@sharonyoung8251 2 года назад

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.

@czdesign 2 года назад

Yes, that's my thinking!

@frannier2617 2 года назад

Wow... I am surprised. Thanks for sharing your experiment. I will start using my white pigment ink for embossing!!

@czdesign 2 года назад

Maybe I didn't need to stamp twice!

@erikarusch478 2 года назад

I have tried this several times with Unicorn pigment ink and I don't get as good results. Versamark works better for me. But when I've tried it us with fonts much smaller than what you just used. Maybe I should try Gina K though.

@moemanley2579 2 года назад

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 😉.

@basgetti 2 года назад

Double tips?!? Def gonna start cleaning my stamps with a brush -- much more efficient than the microfiber rag I've been using (that doesn't get into all the crevasses)

@brendadainton7497 2 года назад

Thank you so much for your amazing tips and tricks. I found it extremely helpful. ❤️

@moemanley2579 2 года назад

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!

@StarSpry 2 года назад

Great tips! Thanks for sharing Cathy! :)

@mztea72 Год назад

this is because versa mark has no color, so in the spaces between, the cardstock comes through. in order for this to be foolproof you need to use the same pigment ink as the powder. depending on what you are stamping you might want the peek-a-boo look, but if you are trying to get solid, color on color every time.

@jessicamarcin9811 2 года назад

@danyareider8146 2 года назад

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.

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.😊

@czdesign 2 года назад

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!

@pearljames1886 2 года назад

A worthwhile experiment, with surprising results. The Gina K pigment ink looks richer and seems to have more depth but, it altered the weight of the font. Did the ink spread or, was your Debbie tool the culprit? Versamark keeps the font slender and yet, the coverage is spotty (or maybe my notebook needs cleaning?). I would have never thought to use white ink with white embossing powder. I don't like any of the white inks that I have - it seems they always come off yellow-ish in appearance but, using the embossing powder would circumvent that issue. Thank you Cathy and, thank you to your followers! Now, I can put all of my white inks to use...

@czdesign 2 года назад

Pearl, I think that it could be a combo. I don't think I needed to press as hard, if that makes sense, and honestly? I may have only needed one pass with the Pigment. I will keep experimenting! I will continue to use both!

@HollyOak 2 года назад

Next test, using white pigment ink, does white embossing powder or clear embossing powder work better? Or does it make any difference? Also, I've seen side by side experiments and if you heat from under the page until the powder melts, you get a smoother finish and less of that orange peel dimpling. Not tried it, but it did make a difference from the videos I saw.

@czdesign 2 года назад

@facsmom 2 года назад

You used this on stamps that have some space in between the raised areas. Curious to see the results if you were stamping an image with raised areas closer together but not touching like what you might find if a sentiment fit on a 1/4 or 3/8” wide strip of dark cardstock. A thicker image might be a bad thing, if that were the test result.

@czdesign 2 года назад
