Stamp Pads & Stamp Ink

Stamp pads and stamp pad ink can be used in conjunction with polymer clay to add interesting textures and patterns to your projects. Below you will find some tips for using ink pads and ink pad ink with polymer clay:

Ink pads: There are different types of ink pads available, such as pigment, dye or solvent-based ink pads. Pigment inks are thicker and slow drying, while dye inks dry faster and are better suited for detailed stamping. Solvent-based inks are water resistant and dry quickly, making them ideal for stamping on smooth surfaces.

Stamp pad ink: Stamp pad ink is specially designed to create a sharp and clear stamp impression. It is available in different colors and textures, such as metallic and glitter. It is important to remember that not all stamp pad inks are compatible with polymer clay. Look for water-based inks specifically designed for use with polymer clay.

How to use: Before you start stamping on polymer clay, make sure the surface is clean and dry. Press the stamp firmly onto the ink pad and make an impression on the clay. If you're not happy with the print, simply wipe it off and try again. After stamping, the clay must be baked to make the stamp impression permanent.

With these tips you can use stamp pads and stamp pad ink to create beautiful designs on polymer clay. Try out different colors and textures to create unique and interesting effects!
