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.

[@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!

[@marthamcdonnell7399]

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

[@gaylareuteralm5986]

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

[@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!!!!

[@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.

[@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. ;)

[@denisestreitman3916]

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!!

[@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.

[@vickievanderhoeven2112]

[@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.

[@sandranorman4270]

Labeling the reinker bottles was such a great idea.

[@anitagardner1419]

Thank you So many tips.

[@brandyscards]

You are so welcome Anita!

[@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!

[@ginnyeslinger2343]

Thank you so much😘😁💕

[@danicaflores7211]

thank you for your very interesting video,happy start to the week,blessings Danica Flores

[@ofeliaortega7534]

Hi Brandy, watching replay. Thank you for sharing.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@mikehines1829]

Watching replay on KZbin!

[@diannaknapp5603]

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

[@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.

[@triciawall7747]

Good evening Brandy!

[@arleencheetham2611]

I am not a beginner but your tips are amazing

[@stampinsimplywithmaria]

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 🤗

[@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?

[@deanettelinville6010]

Love these tips! These basic things are so helpful for those of us starting out! Thank you once again! Am enjoying this series so much!

[@jeanneweber7304]

Thanks,,,

[@susancrump2304]

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

[@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. 🙂

[@brendahoffman-spittler7456]

Hi everyone from NY

[@triciawall7747]

Hello Brandy!

[@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!!

[@marshalong1614]

Watching replay

[@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.

[@lyndavitamanti1141]

Thank you so much, I did learn some new ideas. One question, can we use the black re inker on the Memento or do we need a different ink?

[@GannVA]

Memento makes their own ink. I think Memento is for alcohol coloring, and water coloring, whereas Stampin up's black is not. Plus its a totally different formula. I bought my reinker from Amazon. Make sure you get the color you have on the case. They have different blacks. :)

[@oldmillcjc1]

Question: Should the ink spots be stored upside down? I usually store them that way because that is how I store the Momento and Staz-On ink pads.

[@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.

[@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😅

[@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.
