Yea, I use my jewelry tools to clean up my dies. It came with 4 tools and I have a few others that I stuffed into its case. I've had them for a long time, probably since 2006 or so. I remember making a bracelet for my grandma for her birthday which was a few months before she passed in 2008 and I had been beading for lover a year at that point. I was just going to say that the black ink I've been using has been Gina K. All of her inks blend well and her black is super black. I decided I'm just going to start buying one of her ink pads every couple of week. I have some of her cubes, which I got to try originally. The whole reason why decided to get some of hers is because they all blend so nicely and they don't leave things patchy. I really haven't looked too much into Stampin' Up, except for some of the independent sellers I happened to come across here on YT. I don't know about Simon Says black ink, but I do have a couple of their ink pads and they are ok. They came in a kit so I don't have any idea what their prices are though, same for Hero Arts, the ones I have came in a kit. Have a great day!
I have 2 that I have had for years,used to make jewelry but now it's every now and then. Nice to have a memory when you use them. I have a scrapbooking store that sells Gina K so hopefully I can hit that store soon. I can't stand the blacks I have which I thought atleast the recollections would be good. The other inks I have are fine,more I practice the better it looks even temu ink but the black grr. I do want to get more colors but I will start with black and go from there❤️
Great haul! Love that butterfly set!! For the inks it may depend on what type of ink you are using. For example, if you use alcohol markers (my fav) you should use Memento ink. If you use watercolour ink, Staz On is best. They are very economical. I'm going to try doing the embossing folders with just the metal plate like you do. I have a Big Shot Plus and only can do the embossing folders with my massive base. Oh a gorgeous scrapbooking set! I love tweezers! I have an obsession I think LOL. Beautiful note book, it is a nice touch. TFS!!
Hi Kerry! Loved the haul! I love that 222 piece box of papers and tags you got. I went to TEMU and found it and clicked on notify when back in stock, it’s so pretty! Good taste my friend 🤣 🌻
Hello Karen,thank you it was one of my favorites. Oh yes that set I liked the most out of all those sets I have looked at,so pretty. Happy your on the list to get it,we both have good taste 😁❤️
Great haul, I have struggled with the bleeding issue. Check out any alcohol ink, like Memento or Staz-on. I'm going to test using a piece of a silicone mat that I don't use as an embossing mat. Right now I am shimming with chipboard or cereal box whichever it requires. My Big Kick is old (got it used for $35) and I suspect a little worn out. Love the butterflies but if I had to guess I have about 6 of the so I'd better not! You got some great stuff, have a good day!
Thank you,I think I have some lol. I was thinking my beat up silicone mat or a small cutting mat. I will find away to make it work😁 I am trying to slow down but I have 4 orders on the slow train trying hard not to have a ton of 1 thing🤣
Nice haul. Good of you to test it. I don't think you need special plates for embossing folders. But maybe with some layers in between of thicker cardboard or something. It is sometimes a matter of finding what works best, just about every embossing folder or cutting die, is'nt
Thanks,I think I will use a small cutting mat for those difficult ones cause it flattens scrap people pretty thin that it doesn't work after a couple of times. I couldn't find a mat for it just the metal plate I have. ❤️

Thank you,it's funny cause I had a shirt that had dots like that so I had think differently or I would see my old shirt lol
