How You Can Re-Ink Stamp Pads & Markers Remarkably Easy

[@cynthialodermeier5291]

I use the color cardstock, a regular paper punch to punch out the circle, then apply yo the top with a glue dot. So helpful to find the re- inker!

[@kimskonieczny3638]

Thank you, Brandy! I haven’t had to replace any of my inks yet because I’m still new. But I intend to get some of these so that I can play with the enamel effects. I just learned from you. I hope I don’t make a mess doing this!

[@peggyrohrbeck1350]

I use a circle punch to punch out the color card stock that matches then I adhere it to the bottom of the spot and store the spot upside down so the ink is at the top just like our big stamp pad.

So glad you offered to resend these videos out to your email subscribers. I have gotten so many great ideas from you!!!

[@marthamcdonnell7399]

I’m so glad I can keep using my markers. Thank you for that great tip.

[@lad117]

I love you! for solving my frustration with the Staz On inner plastic lid. That's the smartest thing I've seen in a long time. THANK YOU!!!!

[@gaylareuteralm5986]

Love the tip with putting the dimensional on the staz-on pads' inner cover

[@joybrooks5987]

Thank you for this video. I prefer to use a small cube ink pad to use when I use my Stamparatus. Now I know how to ink these up properly.

[@Its.me_Christina]

Very very informative video - thank you! I didnt knkw that the markers could be re-inked so thats cool!

[@vickievanderhoeven2112]

I think my first comment didn’t go through. I have been stamping about a year and a half. These videos have been so helpful and have answered some of the questions I had. Thank you so much for putting these together for us! 😊

[@amyfouts9781]

Thank u Brandy. Really appreciate this reinking video. Have a blessed great evening.

[@debbiealdridge6533]

Thank you Brandy for the re-inker tip for the markers! Here in AZ those markers dry out sooo very fast, and I would have to replace the whole family when that happens And now I don’t. Thank you, THANK YOU!!

[@darlenegreen1089]

Hello Brandy! Once again, another TERRIFIC n’ VERY HELPFUL Video! I appreciate the many tips to keep one’s Ink Pads, whichever they may be, in the BEST SHAPE to be READY TO USE! LOVE the Reinking of the Markers, too! And also the labeling for the REINKER Lids! TFS n’ Keep On with these WONDERFUL videos! Even tho’ I’m a “seasoned stamper”, Brandi, I’m really enjoying the videos! We ALL benefit from “refreshers” n’ “updates” on some of the newer products, too! Sending SMILES from Madison, WI! :-)))))))))

[@blaisedar]

thank you so much, these are very helpful. I really appreciate how you showed how to reissue the old stamp pads!!! great idea for how to label the inkspots.

[@sandranorman4270]

Labeling the reinker bottles was such a great idea.

[@kathys7325]

Awesome tips! Thank you! Shared

[@brandyscards]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for stopping by. Happy Stamping!!

[@ritaklimek8771]

This was very helpful. I have several retired colors, so I am currently trying to match them to similar colors to order refills to reink them.

[@mommyrue6312]

Hi Brandy, Thanks for the great information, it’s very helpful to see how to refill the Stampin Up ink pads and Stampin Write marker’s.

[@dlkessler4594]

Love the tips! Especially for showing the colors on the Ink Refills...very helpful showing how to reink the markers also. Thanks Brandy!!!!

[@pamelakillough8196]

I am a season stamper and I learned quite a bit from this video. Thanks for doing these videos.

[@ruthfike2476]

Hi Brandy, I've been waiting for this video. Thank you for sharing all the details with us...even situations I haven't encountered yet. I'm sure I will be referring back to this video at times as needed!

[@bonniewyke9396]

Love the suggested ideas to label the top of the reinkers. Glad to see you doing the white reinker. I thought I was doing something wrong because it was thicker than I expected. Now I know that is normal. Love these videos.

[@lyncrawford3349]

Brandi, really appreciate that you took the time to do a beginner guide to all the various techniques for card making. Best wishes from Northern Ireland❤️❤️❤️

[@oldmillcjc1]

Wow....found out something new again! Never knew to clean off lint and other yuckies from my stamp pads with duct tape!!! Thank you so much, Brandy!

[@corkiegott875]

Should I be storing my stampin up inks upside down? I have been stamping for 30 years and keep learning all the time. I came in late, so I am going to watch this video again. love watching your videos! Thanks for all of your hard work!

[@allexgirl]

Thank You again Brandy! We benefit from you so much. Your just a pleasure to watch so educational.

Super helpful video, thanks

[@barbroberts2950]

Very helpful - thank you!

[@KellysCreativeDreams]

Hey Brandy. Another tip is to use a labeled and mark the base of the sot pad too so you get the right lid in place. A couple of those tips were new to me. Creative Blessings!

[@brendahightower2793]

Thank you for the info of ink pads and inkers. Great tips. TYFS!!

[@clisagem]

Your stamp pads are so clean! Mine get inky around the edges and I have a hard time getting it cleaned up. Thank you s much for your inspiration and instruction!

[@jeannenadaud7662]

Now I can ink my markers up and have them useable. Thanks

[@reneeayling8238]

Love your ideas!

[@sandranorman4270]

This was great but i changed a bit. I used a hole punch and punched white card stock. After attaching to bottles with glue dots I touched them on the matching stamp pad . Soooo easy and this way colors match ink.

[@sharonlbrown6756]

Brandy that was so helpful!! You answered all my questions about reinking. Especially the white and Versamark. Tks so much!

Great tutorial. Thanks for the hints and tricks

[@ruthwerbecki7823]

This series is very helpful. I am mostly self taught, so your videos are so very good for me. I have a very large number of the Stampin blends, and the lights are drying out very fast. I wish they would come up with a refill for them. Than you again for your sharing with us.

[@1Cheribaby]

I want to start by saying Stampin Up has not given this tip so it’s at your own risk to try this. I have refilled many of my blends using denatured alcohol and the reinkers. I remove both caps from the blend marker, remove the brush tip (I have the same tweezers shown here), using a pipette or eye dropper I put 6-8 drops of the alcohol and then add a few drops of color. Replace the nib and both caps…shake it up a bit then lay on its side for a minute. This has worked great for me so far. Started doing this once they started selling blends in pairs instead of just the singles. As I said though…this is at your risk. I have some of the old blends that came light, medium and dark in a little box. I use 2, 3, 4 drops respectively when refilling those.

[@datasciyinfo5133]

Yes, I have also refilled Stampin Up alcohol markers. It’s not officially recommended but it works well for me. I use Ranger’s alcohol blending solution (has glycerine to help spread) and matching dye refill from stampin up. I had some that were totally dried out (Feb 2015 purchase). If totally dry, soak first in alcohol brush tip side down in a small cup for 10-30 minutes. A few came back at this stage. Some of them were very faint, mostly on the brush tip side. I pulled the tip, added 3 drops of blending solution, then added dye refill 3-5 drops, and added blending solution to the brush tip, before pushing the tip back in. I shake vigorously and let it sit 10 minutes before testing. Don’t add too many drops at first. It’s easier to go darker than lighter. If a “light” gets too dark, wash out the tip by pulling it out and letting it sit on a few drops of blending solution. Add a few drops of blending solution to marker before replacing tip. I got some overflow at this stage. Mop up extra with a paper towel, then add a few more drops of blending solution until color is lightened. In a brown dark marker, I added 2 drops from one color darker than the matching refill and 3 drops from the correct refill and that seemed to do the trick. Anyway, they are all restored. 😊 But this is a hack, so use at your own risk.

[@nancybeebe7622]

Very good tips. Thank you

[@brandyscards]

Thank You!!!

[@tsmith2216]

Thank you for doing these videos. This one was very helpful. Yay!

[@mkathrynblacker5960]

Great tips, Brandy. I was actually just wanting to refill some of my old markers but couldn't get the tip off. I'll have to look for the craft tweezers that you used. Also, I really love the quality of all SU ink pads. However, I really do miss the "old" style stamp pad. I found the hourglass shape was more ergonomic for my hands and the foam pad worked really well. I also still have some of the "ancient" felt type stamp pads. Those are some old colors! 😂 The re-inkers seem to last forever, so I still keep them around.

[@anitagardner1419]

Thank you So many tips.

I've really been enjoying these tips & tricks! Funny thing about this particular video is I wasn't planning to watch it, I'm glad I did, I learned quite a bit 😁 Have you ever tried mixing 2 similar colors on the Stampin' Spots to give it an ombre effect? Thanks again for doing this series 🤩 Hugs 🤗

[@karlasaroch8125]

Catching the replay. I just re-inked my pads and I over did it

[@brandyscards]

Oh, no... it happens. You can push the ink around with the back of the spoon or maybe dab up a bit with a paper towel. ;)

[@arleencheetham2611]

I am not a beginner but your tips are amazing

[@simong.1731]

Great tips, Brandy. I did not know you could refill the writers. Thank you. I hope you stop using plastic spoons in the future😅

[@joydennis1137]

Hi, since the inked spot can look like another color, I label the bottom of the spot. The clear lids are interchangeable. OR I label both the top and bottom piece. 🙂

[@diannaknapp5603]

I refill my markers using a hypodermic needle. Much faster and less messy for me.

[@elainenoble4542]

Love the tips! I just got a couple of new ink pads and they look like they need ink - any suggestions on what to do?

[@wendypiskor4167]

Thank you for sharing those tips, especially the pens. Do you ship to England?

[@brandyscards]

I'm glad these tips were helpful for you! Feel free to print the downloads from my website & blog brandyscards.com/beginners/ and follow my videos! I am in the U.S. and unable to ship outside territories but you can go to stampin.com and in the left corner you should see a location drop down button and you can choose a UK demonstrator there OR call Stampin' Up! and they can connect you with a demonstrator in England.

[@susancrump2304]

Very very helpful! Is it best to store the ink spots upside down?

[@denisestreitman3916]

A q-tip would clean around the plastic edge of the stamp pad, the pointy ones that are sometimes called makeup q-tips would be ideal

[@brandyscards]

Absolutely!!! Great idea!!! Love ya!!

[@jeanneweber7304]

Thanks,,,

[@triciawall7747]

Hello Brandy!

[@rosedwyer9169]

Thanks for the informative video. I label the stampin spot on the bottom and the top so if the lids get mixed up you know the color. I have a few questions Do the markers have 2 resevoirs ,one on each end or all one? Should the stampin spots be stored upside down as well? Thanks for all you do you help us out.

[@datasciyinfo5133]

I think there is 1 reservoir that is shared, but I find that I need to ink both tips to get ink on both sides. They don’t seem to flow well. For me the .5mm side gets dried out more.

[@brendahoffman-spittler7456]

Hi everyone from NY

[@edithshaw2473]

Very helpful tips here. The one thing I have had a problem with is keeping the lids on the stampin spots. I store them flat upside-down & when I pick them up to use the lids often are left behind. I am short on space so the spots pads can give me more colored pads to use & fit in a plastic drawer on my bookcase.. Any suggestions. I have tried scotch taping them but I need to cut the tape to get into them each time.
