stamping with acrylic paints

[jmtamez]

do any of you stamp with acrylic paints? I have several ink pads but I don't really want to get the unusual colors when I may never use it again and I can mix paints as I need.... what do you think?

Yes! Pour some paint on a styrofoam plate and lay a piece of felt over it. After a few minutes the felt will soak up the paint and you can use it just like an ink pad. It works great!

I work at Michaels and do scrapbooking and card making and also
I do demo's that the corporation wants and I got to do one with the papier paints from plaid they are acid free. I found out that they work best when you sponge them on the stamp then stamp on paper but I have to say
that I like the stamp pads alot better. I dont think I would really use the paints that much.

I totally love the paints!!! I use them mainly with my Making Memories foam stamps for my scrapbooks. Although I have used them a few times on my SU stamps - at the time I didn't have the ink pads but finally I have all of them.

But you can also use the paint to add some color to metal! Metal embossing, tags, etc!

What can I say - apparently I'm not meant to be clean! Either paint or ink or both are always on me :lol:

I use the acrylic paint all the time with my mm foams.... I have even used house wall paint for my walls when I stamped one of the florals on my daughter's walls....
