I love it that someone is finally making tutorials that help us learn what to buy, what essentials are needed and how they work! There are SO MANY options now to choose from that it is confusing. Oxide sprays, alcohol inks, ink pads, brushos, to name a few! Thank you Brandy for taking the time to do this.
I just want to say thank you for doing these videos on the basics. I have been making cards for 30 years, off and on, and I am loving these refresher courses!🙂
Hello Brandy, I have been Stampin Up for over 30 years, and this is the first that I have seen this type of instructions as we begin. Thank you, thank you so much for putting this together and sharing.
I really liked your explanation of all the stamps. I have purchased a few colors but this helps to understand the catalog. I wish you would have video on storage options of supplies. Not everyone can have your room.
Hi Linda!! Thanks for stopping by. Oh, you should absolutely put your stickers inside your ink pads. It's wonderful when you are stamping. You can see exactly what color is in front of you. Awesome!! Hugs, Brandy
I was told a long time ago to put a couple of stampin dimentionals between the protective cover and the lid of the Stazon pad. When you open it, it pulls the clear cover off. But, when you close it, it gives just enough pressure to keep the clear cover tight.
Great tutorial... LOL, I never realized that there were stickers on the bottom... I had to go and check and sure enough all my ink pads have them. :) Thank you.
This was a big help to me because I can't remember things well so I took notes and will also have a copy of your download page. But I bought some supplies from a person ending her stamping journey and I ended up with 11 different brands of ink, and after I watched your clip I know what I'm reading or looking for on each pad and how to use them. Thank you so much for the information.
While you made this tutorial a while ago, it is great re-watching (and re-learning). We're never too old to learn/re-learn. Thanks for sharing. Lorraine (from Australia)
Thak you for all the good information. I will be printing the pdf for reference and also giving one to my Granddaughter who is just beginning her card making. She surpasses me with ideas for sure :)
Thank you so very much. You answered my question I was wondering about…now I know what ink pads I need to purchase…Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us…you are the BEST!
I like the tip of purchasing the bright inks first and stamp off. Love the mini pads and the unlinked spots. I have created my own spots with the refills.
Oh my gosh - this is so helpful, can't thank you enough. I inherited a friends mother's stamping things when she passed away. So blessed and grateful but seem to get confused on what to use for what and how to clean them. This is so awesome.
So happy to finally understand the different inks, as well as the tips for opening & closing the colored stamp pads. The vaseline tip was especially helpful for closing the stamp pads. Thank you for sharing all this info! I still consider myself a beginner stamper.
Thank you Brandy for all your ideas, tricks and tips. I keep learning more and more from you through every video I watch that you present. I look forward to seeing more videos by you. Thanks again. Susan from Clarkston, Michigan. 😊😊🥰
Well organized presentation on the basics. I always pick up tips, like putting the name strip on the front and sides of the stamp pad. Thank you, Brandy!
Aww... Thank You Beatrice!! I'm so glad you are enjoying my videos and finding them helpful. This makes my day. I really appreciate your note. Stay in touch. Happy Stamping!! Brandy
Thank you for this video! I'm new to Stampin' Up Stamp Pads, so this will help! I do know that not all stamp pads are equal! I already have Memento Tuxedo Black ink, so all I need now are colors! (I also have the Versa Mark pad, & love using it!!)
Hi Janice, Oh, you'll love our Stampin Up Products. If you don't already have a demonstrator please email me and I can send you complimentary catalogs. I think it will be helpful for you to see what we offer. I'm happy to answer any questions along the way. Happy Stamping!! Brandy
Hi Brandy, Watched replay. What a wonderful presentation. Well done. I've been stamping for quite sometime, however, I have revisited your wonderful tips. Great tutorial.
Hi Brandy! Thank you I am so happy to have found this series tonight!! I have been confused about the ink pads. This has helped but I can’t seem to find the link to the little information sheet you talked about it the video. Can you help me find the ink information sheet?? Thanks
Thank you for this video, it was so helpful and the tip on opening the ink pad I always had ink on my fingers from trying to open the ink pads.. Thank you again for all the extra's you do for your stamper's.
Just learned a lot! Thank you. I'm looking forward to printing out the pdf sheet for reminders. This series is being helpful. When starting with Stampin Up, a lot of basics aren't necessarily out there in writing. That's why these are so helpful.
Hi Sue, Thanks for watching and for enjoying my videos. Sure, I wish I had some of these resources when I starting. I'm glad to share them and so happy they are helpful!! You can download the PDF here: brandyscards.com/beginners
Thank you so much brandy. that was so helpful. plus just recieved you catalog and all the great things you sent with it. thank you again. can't wait to order
Hi Nancy, Thanks for stopping by. I'm so glad you found my video help. Oh and I'm thrilled to pieces that you received your Happy Mail. I hope you enjoy your catalogs. If you have any questions let me know. I'm happy to help!! Hugs, Brandy
Oh thank you Kathy for this kind note. It brings me great joy to share my love of paper crafting and stamping with others. My hope is to inspire others to make cards and send them. Handmade cards are a special gift in the mail!! Thanks for stopping by!! Hugs!!
Thank you for making these tutorials. I have been stamping for a long time and still find this so interesting. You did a great job with the way you presented this topic.
thank you for sharing... Question what do you have on top of your reinker bottles to show you which colors they are? Can I ask where did you get your marker holder behind you when your filming? can you show how the heck to fill the white craft ink pad? I made mess with mine and could never stamp with it out it getting everywhere.
Thanks for stopping by!! Sure, in past years Stampin Up has offered small coordinating dots with adhesive behind them. I just stuck them to the tops of my reinkers so that I could see what colors they were from the top. It's not a perfect system but I can certainly pull up the pinks and find the one I'm looking for. Sure, the marker holder can be found here:brandyscards.com/live-craft-room-tour/. If you scroll down to the bottom you'll see all the items I use in my room along with links to purchase them. Hope that helps! Sure, my Video #5 is all about reinking. I will be sure to cover that.
Thank you so much for bringing us information time after time. This really helps with card making. Again thank you and Blessings to you & your family..Hugs!!!
I adore you Brenda!! You are the sweetest. Thank you for this kind note and for joining me. It makes me so happy to know these videos are helpful and useful. My hope is inspire others to start stamping and making cards. I want to pass this blessing on to others!! Hugs, Brandy
Thank you Laura!! I'm so glad you are finding the helpful. Yes, Yes, Yes I love all the colors and how beautifully the ink pads stack and look. So nice!!
I’ve learned a lot by watching your videos, but I have a question about scrap paper. How do you store it? Any tips would be appreciated, I’ve been using zip lock bags, but o thought you may have a better system. Thanks in advance!
Thank u Brandy. Is there a cost 4 the PDF on this video? I really appreciate u taking the time 2 break down what inks can b used with what markers, etc. How long do we let the. Inks dry b4 continuing on with our projects? This is very helpful. Have a great night.
Hi Amy, Thanks for stopping by. No cost for the PDF... my hope is to help you along your stamping and card making journey. You can find the PDF downloads at brandyscards.com/beginners. Sure, our colored classic inks dry quickly. Memento Black & StazOn Black also dry quickly but I generally give it 20-30 to dry before coloring the image with a marker.
Hi thanx for this lovely informative video, much appreciated. I wanted to ask, maybe you could assist with a tip, I live in South Africa and bought a StazOn Koala Grey, this was about six months ago more or less, I only opened it today, but to my dismay it is as dry as the desert🤣🤣🤣, is there a way to rejunivate it? Or save it in anyway, I could not get the reinker for this colour as yet, what can I do?🤷♀️🤔
Thank you! How wonderful! I am from Oz and new to cardmaking and stamping…Would you recommend any other types of stamp pads, or are stamping up ones the best quality?
Hi Brandy. I was hoping you talked about the stampinup black in. Having trouble with mine. It stays wet for a very long time. I stoped using it because it would smear, even when I let it dry overnight. Any idea as to why this is happening?
Hi Wanda, Thanks for stopping by!! Sure, which black ink are you using? If you are using our old Stampin Up Archival Black... it takes forever to dry. Stampin Up wasn't happy with that so they discontinued that type of ink. Check and see which Black Ink you are using and let me know!
Loving your beginner videos, so many helpful tip. Just one question. What do you use to clean the whisper white ink and versa mark ink off your stamps?
Thank you for the info. It has been helpful. Two questions I had been told I could only use Stazon on red rubber stamps and had to clean the stamp immediately after each use. Not to use it on the clear stamps. I was wondering if you could clear up this information. Thank you.
Hi Johanna, Thanks for stopping by. That's a great question!! Sure, you can absolutely clean your Rubber stamps using StazOn Cleaner. Once you've removed the StazOn Ink I would clean them again with Stamp Mist or a mild soap and water. I've never had a problem with this cleaner on my rubber stamps. It's very important for photopolymer stamps that you clean them right after using this type of ink. If not cleaned, the in StazOn ink can make your clear stamps gummy and the chemicals in the cleaner can break down your photopolymer stamps. It's ok to use StazOn with your photopolymer stamps as long as you clean them immediately following use. I would use the cleaner and remove the ink. Then clean with soap & water or a Stampin Mist to remove any left over residue. Hope that helps!!
Hi Annette, That's a great question!! I'm not to sure about temperature; however, if you have problems with pads leaking it sounds like maybe they are very juicy. You could use a paper towel and dab up some of the ink. And just to be sure... you want to store your stamp pads in a horizontal position. If you store them in vertical position or on their side this could absolutely allow them to leak. I hope that helps!! Sending Big Hugs!!
HI Kitty, That's a great question. Yes, VersMark does dry on it's own. You don't have to heat set it. It just takes a couple minutes because it's a sticky pigment ink. It's a fabulous!!
??????? Can you help me? I have I’ll pads and refills since 2000. I have bought the new inks but I have refills from the beginning and now? I can’t tell what refill to use. I don’t see dates
Hi Tami, Thanks for stopping by. That's a great question. The dry time can vary based on weight / type of paper, humidity etc. I would say it takes 2-3 minutes to dry. Because it's a slow drying, sticky ink it's perfect for embossing. I love VersaMark and use it often!
Oh my!! LOVED it and what I found so interesting is that it was somewhat close to my video on stamp pads....hmm, may need to check to see that i actually uploaded mine...eeks!! I know I recorded it a few days ago. Better go check! Awesome! Thank you! PatriciaD
Hi Patricia, You are too funny!! I hope you've published it as it will be so helpful to so many. Thank you for stopping by and for your kind note. I hope you are doing well. Your videos have been awesome!!! I've enjoyed them so much. Big Hugs!!
Great Question!! You should store it horizontally with the lid at the top. The stamp pad is on the bottom. The case design is very different from our classic inks.
I love it that someone is finally making tutorials that help us learn what to buy, what essentials are needed and how they work! There are SO MANY options now to choose from that it is confusing. Oxide sprays, alcohol inks, ink pads, brushos, to name a few! Thank you Brandy for taking the time to do this.
It makes my heart so happy to hear this is helpful to you, Cindi! Thanks so much for watching!!
Your videos are always interesting and I enjoy watching. You are always bright and uplifting to listen to.
Aww... Thank you Gloria!! I appreciate you watching and enjoying my projects and tutorials. Sending Hugs!!

Hi thanx for this lovely informative video, much appreciated.

Hi Liane, Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you found my video helpful. Happy Stamping!!
which black ink pad is used with stampin blends and for water coloring?
Did you show how to reink regular stamp pads or did I miss it?
Sure, I'll be talking about reinking Stamp Pads on Monday, Feb. 7th. I hope you can join me!
Great information. Having a problem with my pads leaking especially brand new. Can temperature affect them?
Thank you Brandy
Hi Annette, That's a great question!! I'm not to sure about temperature; however, if you have problems with pads leaking it sounds like maybe they are very juicy.

Can I use Stampinup Inks on fabrics?
How do we clean the Stazon off of the stamps?

,Hi Brandy, does the versamark dry. Non sticky?
Very good question Tami. I was wondering that as well.
Hi Tami, Thanks for stopping by. That's a great question. The dry time can vary based on weight / type of paper, humidity etc. I would say it takes 2-3 minutes to dry. Because it's a slow drying, sticky ink it's perfect for embossing. I love VersaMark and use it often!

The new ink pads are designed so much better. Too bad I have so many of the old kind. ;-)
I love the new redesign too!! Thanks for stopping by!!
Should Memento be stored right side up or upside down?
Great Question!! You should store it horizontally with the lid at the top. The stamp pad is on the bottom. The case design is very different from our classic inks.
Another great live!
Great tips.
