Thanks so much for this particular video. I'm an experienced crafter, but new to stamping and I often feel as if I am reinventing the wheel. For example, white handled differently from the other ink colors and I would never guess that it is embossable (if that's a word). Thanks so much for the tips and never think that any information is too elementary. Your demos are great.
Hello Liz, thank you for the tutorial. I'm a small business owner and want to emboss my logo onto my packaging - do you think if i use a white ink & white embossing powder, would this create a very white logo? Any advice on how to get the whitest of white embossing onto my boxes/ packaging would be much appreciated :)
Hi Amy, Using a white pigment ink and white embossing powders will give you the brightest white finish. BUT the most important element of the embossing process is to prepare your card carefully first. You will definitely want some kind of Embossing Buddy to remove any static and fingerprints from the card first. We sell the Embossing Additions set, which includes an Embossing Buddy, some tweezers to hold the card with, a brush to clean up with and a tray to catch spare powder. If you are in Europe, simply follow the link in the Description to my Online Store and search for item number 159971 you will find the set. Good luck and let me know if you need any more help. Lx
Hi Liz, thanks for the video. I was thinking about getting some of this ink, is it ok to use on photopolymer stamps? As in, is it like Stazon? Do you have to put some re-inker in every time you use it? Cheers ❤️
Hi Mitzi, thank you for asking the question. Firstly I would just mention that when you talk about Stazon needing to be reinked each time, that would only apply for their Metallic, White etc, not their 'standard' inks, such as Jet Black. As long as you keep their 'standard' inks well sealed (including the clear inner 'lid') they should be good for a long time before they need reinking. As far as Stampin' Up! Craft White, I have just checked mine (which I have not used for some months) and it is still reasonably wet still. They are sent out uninked, but with a bottle of reinker, so the first couple of times you use it you will have to add ink, but once it is reasonably 'full' it should be OK for a while. I hope this helps. Lx
