Tuxedo Black Memento Ink from Stampin' Up! Stampin' Blends Best Friend. Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty

STAMPIN’ BLENDS MARKERS’ BEST FRIEND!  Every crafter needs a go-to black ink pad. You’ll love the coverage the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad gives.  It’s great to use with Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers and as a general-purpose ink pad.
* Acid-Free

MY TIP:  Let the ink dry completely before coloring with Stampin’ Blends to avoid bleeding.

Jet Black StāzOn Ink from Stampin' Up! Positively Permanent Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty

POSITIVELY PERMANENT! The Jet Black StāzOn Ink Pad is a permanent ink that is great for stamping images you want to watercolor or for stamping on Window Sheets (acetate), cellophane bags, and other nonporous surfaces. Clean stamps with StāzOn Cleaner after using StāzOn ink. 
* Acid-Free

Stampin’ Up! offers Jet Black (shown) & Saddle Brown

MY TIP: Pair it with Water Painters, Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper or Shimmery White Cardstock, and Classic Stampin’ Ink or Watercolor Pencils.

Whisper White Craft Uninked Pad and Refill from Stampin' Up! Purchase online from Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty

OPTIMALLY OPAQUE! Whisper White craft ink is rich, permanent pigment ink that is great for embossing or for creating an opaque look on dark card stock. You can also use it on wood, fabric, and other materials. The Whisper White Craft Stampin’ Pad comes uninked with a Whisper White Craft Ink Refill you can use to ink the pad before use.  Acid-free

MY TIP: Have a Heat Tool on hand!  Use the low setting to dry the ink completely so it doesn’t smudge!

Versamark Watermark Ink from Stampin' Up! Purchase Online from Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty

STAMPIN’ EMBOSS POWDERS PLAYMATE! VersaMark ink appears a few shades darker than the cardstock it’s stamped on. That makes it great for creating tone-on-tone or watermark effects. It’s also perfect for heat embossing. Use it with embossing powder and a heat tool to heat-emboss, stamped images.  Acid-free

Stampin' Blends by Stampin' Up! Alcohol Based Markers Order online from Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty

DEFINITION & DEPTH! Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers help you create highlights and shadows for a 3D coloring effect. Stampin’ Blends Combo Packs include two high-quality alcohol markers—a dark shade and a light shade—for an amazing color blending experience. Use these markers with the Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter for additional blending possibilities.

MY TIP(s): Basic White 8 1/2 x 11 Cardstock (not thick) works best for blending!  Don’t be afraid to combine multiple colors to add even more depth to your creation.  Example: Add a touch of Flirty Flamingo Light to create shadows on an image colored with Petal Pink.

Stampin' Write Water-Based Markers by Stampin' Up! Order online from Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty (2)

COLOR COMRADES! Stampin’ Write dual-tipped markers have a broad tip for coloring and achieving unique color effects and a fine tip for writing. Our Neutrals Stampin’ Write Marker Assortment includes ten markers.

MY TIP:  Have a solid stamp image that you want to stamp in multiple colors?  Use the brush-tip to add multiple colors directly on the stamp!  Huff your breath on the stamp prior to meeting the card stock to reactivate the ink.

5 thoughts on “Gettin’ Inky with Stampin’ Pretty!”

  1. Question: When SU Blends originally came out the recommendation was to use Whisper White Thick cardstock. Are you saying that these works best with the new Basic White regular cardstock?
    and I use Memento Tuxedo Black as my GoTo ink for everything.

    • Correct! I did some testing and the regular Basic White performed much better with Stampin’ Blends than the Thick Basic White. Thanks, Mary

  2. These are the kinds of info that I really like. I forget what inks to use for which projects and I really appreciate the reminder to have when I need to look up this information. Thank you
