ink for paint chip stamping

[mailbag45150]

I am a new demonstrator trying to find some interesting, easy, eye-catching things to demo. I just tried stamping on paint chips with classic basic black ink and it looks awful-the ink didn't dry... What type of ink do I need to use? Any other suggestions for my open house would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks! ~Lois

haven't tried it yet but have "borrowed" lots of paint chips. Maybe stazon. I did stamp with classic black on a textured paint chip and it worked just fine, haven't tried the smooth ones yet.

Try using black Staz-on. It works for tiles, porcelain, cellophane, wood and paper so it should work for paint chips.

Hi, When I stamped on paint chips, I used dye ink but then
embossed with clear embossing powder. It turned out great.

I just did a workshop with the paint strips and had to use stazon, the classic black just didn't look dark enough. Did heat set the stazon with the heat gun after stamping.

I have stamped on paintchips-I have 2 cards in my gallery to look at if you wish-and I have just used SU classic pads. The tree in my gallery I embossed-using classic ink and the other one just stamped. Hope this helps. I have tried black ink and have had a problem with it also? The others have been fine.

I use black Stazon and it works fine.

When I tried the classic black, i found that it smeared, even after a 24 our dry. When I tried the staz-on there was no smearing, and it was just the look I wanted. Good luck with it.

A cool thing about paint chips is that the ink deswn;t dry so you can use classic ink to emboss on them.

when I stamp on paint chips I use starzon. I do let it dry overnight just to make sure it is very dry. After it is dry it wont come off.
