Default Craft Ink Spots

SU! is running a fabulous promotion for the Craft Ink Spots- 25% off for the month of November. So what can you do with these things? I have one box (Rich Regals) and other than using them for embossing with Clear EP, I'm rather at a loss as to what else to do with them. I have a big stamp camp coming up this weekend, and I'm sure the ladies would buy them if I had some ideas and samples to show them. Any ideas? Thanks!

I would highlight to them that using craft ink is scrapbook friendly because craft ink is fade-resistant and acid-free . Both are two major concerns among scrapbookers!

I went to a stamp camp, and we used the Craft pads for 2 diff projects. 1st one, we used vanilla craft and then used the pastel chalks on top of the ink. Took a bit to dry, but very nice results.
2nd project, which I ended up making for my dd soccer team was taking a 2" tile and stampin on it, then pouring clear embossing powder over it. Made them look more shiny, then using classic.

The craft pads are pigment inks, and they work differently than dye inks. Dye inks actually color the paper when you use them. Pigment inks sit on top of the paper, so you can stamp Barely Banana craft ink on Night of Navy cardstock and see your image just fine. I explain these differences at workshops, and I almost always sell craft pads when I do a demo with one. The craft inks are great to demo with background stamps. Do a search in the gallery. You'll get lots of great ideas.
