I was over at a friends stamping yesterday and dropped the Versafine Black inkpad in my lap. My friend ran out of the room to find me a pair of pants so we could get my jeans in the washer ASAP and I decided that spraying the ink marks with Stampin' Mist couldn't hurt, so I sprayed away.......dabbed at it with a baby wipe and then used Spray n Wash and washed them. I'm happy to report that all of it came out. Could have knocked me over......I thought that pair of jeans was toast.........or just dedicated stamping pants!
A couple of summers ago, my new puppy got a hold of an old olive reinker I had just unpacked. I caught him chewing on something in my beautiful, fairly new WHITE quilted little upholstered rocker (expensive--custom ordered from Crate & Barrel). When I discovered what it was, I just about put a puppy up for adoption!! (Just kidding...he's my baby). There was old olive ink all over the chair and him (he's mostly white!)
Good news...the chair is slipcovered. My SIL and I immediately pulled off the slip covers and threw them in the wash with some Oxy Clean. Most of it came out. Strangely enough, there were very light purple stains left over. Even those have nearly disappeared over several washings. All in all, didn't turn out nearly as badly as it could have.
sitting on a chipboard album to set the glue on the page, not realizing that the chalk ink was not yet dry. I was walking around with green orange and blue on my butt, it did wash out though.
I only scrap in a black pair of pants and t shirt cause of the clumsiness
Come to think of it, I think I ruined a tablecloth once. Instead of removing it, I just pushed it aside and I flipped an inkpad somehow. SPLAT! end of tablecloth.

I don't even get worried when I get ink on my now. It always comes out with just normal washing, even basic black. I'm embarrased to say I even wipe my hands on my jeans now when crafting! Luckily I don't have kids to see my bad example.

Another klutz here. Last week I dropped an opened black Stazon pad onto my wedgwood blue dining room tablecloth and it left a very large mark. I was devastated. I thought the tablecloth was a goner for sure and didn't rush to wash it, figuring I'd keep it and just use it for stamping later on.
Just washed it this morning, about a week after the accident. IT CAME OUT! All of it! With nothing extra added besides the detergent. I was shocked, and extremely happy. And now I'm looking to buy another one JUST LIKE IT if it's still available - my kind of material!!!

The carpet in my craft room has some interesting colors. I blame it on the kids tho. HA!
I do have a shirt I wear to work in, and usually black pants. I like to wipe the extra cleaner foam off the stamps on myself. Then I had a craft night at a local church for my SIL and was wearing a nice new outfit and almost wiped on it a couple times... but I made it thru unscathed!
I also have leaned onto stamp pads more than once!
I think the only thing I've ever dropped an ink pad on that it didn't come out of was the table itself. that wood grain just absorbs the ink so fast...
