It's All in the INK

Let's talk about Close to My Heart's inks... Here is the scoop on the 5 different styles we offer.

Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pads: Our Exclusive Inks™ stamp pads, including our Black Exclusive Inks pads, are water-based dye inks. The dye ink absorbs directly into your paper and allows the colors to blend easily with the material. They dry quickly and blend easily. These inks are recommended for most stamping projects, but not for projects where you plan on using watercolors or coloring with alcohol markers after stamping the image.


Archival Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad: Our Archival Black Exclusive Inks™ stamp pad is our archival ink offering. This pad quickly sets an image that you can then color in using watercolor pencils, watercolors, or water-based inks with the blending pen.

Exclusive Inks™ Mini Pigment Pad Sets: Pigment inks behave differently from dye inks, in that they settle on top of your material rather than soaking into it. This allows you to stamp lighter colors on darker materials and to keep the true color of the ink pad when stamping on another color. Though they take longer to dry, when dried, they work well for coloring in with your markers or watercolor inks, as the pigment inks will form a permanent bond and will resist blending when you color over them.

StazOn™ Black Ink Pad: StazOn™ is specifically formulated for stamping on non-porous materials. Because StazOn is solvent-based, this ink works well when stamping an image that you will later color over with watercolors, but it is not ideal for use with alcohol markers.   Also available in Brown.

Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink Pad: The Memento™ ink pad gives you another archival quality ink pad that works for any stamping project and can be used with alcohol markers, watercolors, or any of our other coloring options.

Other stamping products available also... such as blocks, reinkers, scrubbers, spritz cleaner, StazOn cleaner & refills.

Learn about the awesome tools that Close to My Heart offers in this series of posts and short videos.

Bonding Memories Glue is a great permanent adhesive to use in your projects. 

Trick of the trade... if you want something to be removable, apply the bonding memories glue to it and let it dry (WITHOUT placing it).  Once the glue had dried, you will be able to temporarily adhere it to your project.

I use these when applying paper to any form of chip board and sometimes on larger pieces on my scrapbook pages.
