My Favorite Crafty Things: Ink & Heat Embossing (Includes Dye vs. Pigment)

[@nancyosullivan719]

Jennifer, thanks for this very informative tutorial. I'm new to stamping and paper crafts. I'm 65 and feel this is MY time of my life. I'll be watching your videos frequently as they are clear and concise. Again, thanks.

[@jennifermcguireink]

Nancy O'Sullivan good for you! ENJOY! xo

I just found this video, & I'm thrilled. I've been stamping & embossing for over 35 years. They didn't even have embossing guns then. You had to use a light bulb, coffee warmer or the heat from an electric stove burner. I feel I know a lot more about the ink differences then ever. I avoided some inks because I was unsure of their properties. Thank you.

When y heat gun broke I dismantled my hair straighteners lol þ use as a heat gun,n hated it,so what u described doing must of been a nightmare ,bet ur one happy crafter now x

[@christinewillmott675]

I loved your video.It is very informative and well explained. I was very confused between pigment and dye inks,but after watching this video I am no longer confused. Thank you

[@cazee100]

Thanks Jennifer, I have needed help with inks for a while - my stamping has not been very good and now I know one reason why is I am using pigment inks and I did not understand the drying time difference. Am loving your videos - costing my husband a fortune lol. x Thanks again, you are a gem!

[@Lookn4Gsus]

I've been stamping for years and I still learned a ton from your video! Thanks for taking the time to do this!!

[@Emilie19614]

Best video presentation on inks I've ever seen! Answered a lot of my questions. thank you.

[@mamascorpio]

was searching for an answer to using pigment inks and heat embossing rather than only using a sticky ink. I knew I'd find the answer in your posts! Thanks!

[@michelleregis1795]

Your tutorial videos are interesting & so helpfull in helping me to decide which ink & many other crafting items to buy .thx

[@JoanBeitman]

Jennifer, You are my mentor! I always learn so much from you! Thanks for taking the time to do these videos.

[@Lfodor1]

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these videos that you do. They are so informative. Also, it's like trying the inks without buying them...so it's a money saver too.

[@donnabrown776]

Great job explaining the difference. I've been taking notes.

[@margenek]

This was so informative and helpful. Thank you so much. It has been hard to understand the different types of inks.

[@suesmith4681]

Oh Jennifer, thank you so much for such an informative video. For a very long time I have wondered about all the different types of inks and why some people use this or that, never known why the market has dye and pigment inks, just thought it was all same by different companies.....Thank you so much for sharing all this wonderful information. Next time I'm in a store and I see the shelves and shelves of inks I now have the knowledge to know WHAT I REALLY WANT ! Love you so much Sue (from Australia)

[@beaudeleon2532]

Jennifer this was so helpful! I had previously watched these videos but I must have missed this one so I am glad you re-linked it. I wanted to know how you get so much of the white and clear Hero Arts embossing powder? I have only found one link that sells it in bulk, and it definitely isn't Hero Arts, otherwise I spend a bunch of money on the little jars.

[@Natalia-009]

I just ordered a heat gun, the powder and lots of embossing powder! 💙 Your video was very helpful :D

[@eileenschuller5309]

Wonderful video presentation. You make it easy to learn. Question: sometimes the ink pads will say "dye" or "pigment". Sometimes they don't. Other than researching each one is there another way to find out simply by looking at the container? Thanks again!

[@janarnold7241]

Awesome tutorial. I've been stamping a long time and still felt like I was learning so much!

[@mollyminnick5922]

I have been taking notes! thank you so much!!! Such a help!

[@jo-annetedford4076]

Thank you for all of your videos. They have really been a blessing to me. I would like to know if you buy your clear embossing powder in bulk somewhere? Thanks again!

[@peperoch2]

Wow, Jennifer, this was a terrific video. I've been stamping for a long time and I learned something new. I appreciated your giving us tips on the different brands. There are so many out there. This was a Big help for me. Thank you so much!

[@froznslvrlips]

Thanks so much for this video!! i've been looking for more information on the memento luxe and mama elephant inks. Thanks again!!!

[@michellen4221]

If you had to choose, would you build a collection of embossing powers and basic ink pads, or a collection of ink pads and clear embossing power?

[@dianasdragon]

This has helped SO much, thanks Jennifer!

[@donnt6734]

Love, love, love this video. There was soooo much information on inks that I have wanted to learn. Do you have a chart or written document that could be used as a reference tool that holds all the information you said on this video. TFS this and all you do. I love your voice and check for your videos often. Thanks, donn

[@faithw9387]

Thanks so much! Another very helpful vid! Am off to emboss, haven't used this for a while!

[@phyllisjones5082]

Can you recommend an embossing powder that creates the look of snow? Thanks for these great videos!

[@JewelrybyJeanette]

Thank you for the informative videos. Are you on the design teams for the products you are recommending?

[@JoyThirsty3]

Thanks for making these videos. THey're so helpful and fun. Can you heat emboss with powder by aiming the heat gun on the back of the page? I don't have a good heat gun, so I'm worried it'll blast the powder everywhere if I do it as you did it in the video.

[@debrawhitchurch]

Thanks Jennifer,have learned so much,love your videos!

[@Elsiegeraldine21]

Hi Jennifer, I love watching your videos, they are so helpful. I am wondering why the Hero arts Silver Shadow Ink smudeges on the Neenah paper, is that normal? Thank you so much for your help.

[@maryweintz7531]

great video, very informative. "I have been wanting to learn the differences of the inks, so glad I found your videos. You really do a great job of explaining all of the info. Thanks for the video teacher

[@maiafelidae]

Jennifer, these videos have been so, so helpful. Thank you so much. I have a question: Do you know what is the difference between the Hero Arts dye ink pad BLACK AF101 and the Hero Arts dye ink pad INDIA INK BLACK AF248? Both are dye inks, but is one darker than the other?

[@librep2008]

Great videos!! Thanks Jennifer for sharing! Love them!

[@rebeccasuraci7666]

this may be a dumb question but how does the mixed leftovers turn out when embossed? will you have each individual come through and show individually or do they melt together and make new colors? i would be afraid of making muddy brown hues.

[@47bettie]

Awesome Video great info! Where would one get the power tool? Please! Thanks for sharing!!! Liz

[@hebronpurple3198]

love your videos so far, just found you and I am excited already :)

[@Tatyz0prd]

Can you do embossing with distress, and hero arts inks ?

[@MsSuperklutz]

Fun and packed with awesome info. Thanks for doing this I have learned so much! YOU ROCK!!

[@lanjing1002]

I am a big fan of you. Thanks for these great videos. I have a question, I am trying to find Hero Arts ink refills, but I am not able to, do you know where I and buy those? Thanks a lot.

[@mariannepetralia478]

Can you tell me what the wattage is for the milwaukee heat tool. I have a heat tool but I don't feel it is doing a good job. Since this video is 2 years old, are there any updates for the heating tool? Can I still buy from Hero Arts or from Amazon?

[@mariannepetralia478]

Is this milwaukee heat gun made by Wagner? The Hero Arts site shows a heat gun but the name on it is Wagner. Is this the heat gun you refer to in your video? I currently have one which I purchased several years ago made by Ranger. Does this mlwaukee brand do a better job?

[@MsTravelsoul]

How much does the type/weight of card stock effect the results of the ink? I have never been able to get my Hero Arts ink to dry smooth. It's still blotchy after drying.

[@annepomer6441]

Where did you get the powder tool. I don't seem to find it. Thank you

[@fabgeal]

I have a question, I looked for the Hero Arts dye ink pad in black that you have in the video, but all that I could find is Hero Arts dye ink pad INDIA INK black .. is that the same pad??

[@kintri]

This is great! Very informative! I wanted to get a good black ink and this has really helped! Tfs!!

[@Sofiasch]

Thank you so much for all this great information! I think it will make me a better stamper.

[@coryscalone4231]

What do you recommend for gold embossing powder-mine keeps spreading!?? Is it better to stamp with gold ink and use clear emboss powder or stamp with clear versamark and use gold powder? AND does it matter what kind of paper you use? Thank you sooo much, frustrated in fesno...

[@jennifermcguireink]

Cory Scalone doesn't matter what paper. i use versamark with all colored powders including gold. wipe the surface with an anti-static first to prevent if from going everywhere

[@10rajivm]

thank you for taking so much effort for such a great video, so helpful
