    Versa Fine black tuxedo ink! This was the first ink I purchased from your recommendations and I’ve never liked another ink better than that one!

  4. Teresa MacKenzie says:

    My favorite inks are Versamagic, and I am in love with Distress Inks, I was able to get all the re-inkers and am now having a blast watercoloring with them and using the mini’s for creating my backgrounds.

  5. izolda says:

    These your videos are so helpful! Cannot wait when you show comparison of all inks you have.
    My absolutely favorites are HA ones.
    Thank you!

      My favorite inks are the distress inks 😉

  9. Laura B. says:

    I would have to say Versamark and Versafine Black are my most used inks and I love Distress Inks! Thanks for the very informative video series!

  10. Stephanie W says:

    I used Versamark and VersaFine (Onyx Black) the most. I use Memento Tuxedo black for Copics but am not happy with how they stamp with clear stamps for anything else. I would stamp more if I had inks that worked better. I’ll have to try your suggestions. I have a few Distress inks that I’m enjoying using for blending techniques. I love that they’ve come out with the minis. That will help my collection grow so much faster.

  11. Thanks for sharing this ink video, Jennifer! Helps me a lot in differentiating the inks and which suit me more and things like that!

  12. Sarah W says:

    Thanks for sharing all your favorites and telling about them. The ink that I reach for the most is memento and distress inks.

  13. Tracy M. says:

    OMG … so many great ink and so many pretty colors. It is so hard to pick. I also love your ink swatches!

  14. Kelly Horrocks says:

    I love distressed inks and am also enjoying some new ME inks that arrived this week!

  15. Klara says:

    Thank you for this video. My favorite ink is distress ink. 🙂

  16. natalie says:

    My favorite inks are from Stampin Up! But I am always reaching for my distress inks. I’m really dying to try the My Favorite Things hybrid ink, just purchased 3 pads this week!

  17. My favorite inks are Distress Inks! Love all the techniques you can do with them!

  18. Emilie M. says:

    I love distress inks and I’m looking forward to trying more pigment inks!

  19. Carmen says:

    Thanks for the fabulous giveaway, this gift is like an early Christmas present that will allow us to give more to others since now we will have more tools to experiment and create more cards. Thanks a bunch

  20. Kristen S says:

    I use the Hero Arts shadow inks the most. I have had some of the SSS dye inks on my wishlist, but I don’t have any of them yet.

  21. Emily L. says:

    I currently only have Stampin Up ink and the mini distress inks, but I love them both! I’d love to get my hands on some of the new vibrant colors and some pigment inks!! Thanks for another awesome video and giveaway!! <3

  22. Mei T. says:

    I love sss for dye and memento luxe for pigment

  23. annheidel says:

    I use my Tuxedo Black inkpad by Memento a lot. I also use Papertrey and Stampin’ Up inks.

  24. Mishabella says:

    Thank you for clarifying the distinctions between the pigment and dye inks!!! So helpful

  25. Missy Chandler says:

    I use Tims distress inks way more than I should, lol… and love Memento for my black.

  26. Kathy N says:

    Loved seeing all the different inks… distress ones are my favorite

  27. Kristen M. says:

    I love the Distress Inks! They are lot’s of fun to play with. 🙂

  28. Susan Pezza says:

    When I started out stamping, all I ever knew about was Memento Inks so I have a wide variety of those. I now have lots of the Distress Ink Pads/Pens and totally love them. I’ve slowly started to add to my collection and branch out to other inks. I have a couple of the Luxe inks and Avery Elle inks. And now I have a couple of the SSS Inks as well as the Hero Arts ink. There are just so many to pick from 🙂

  29. Marianne says:

    I don’t have a lot of different inks, although my collection is growing. I seem to get better results with Memento dew drops than I do with the HA inks and the SC inks, but I do love the colours of the SC inks (just bought the latest set) and I did also use them for second generation stamping on one of the last cards I made (stamping pink and purple snowflakes). I also love that the smaller size of the SC pads and the HA minis make them more affordable.

  30. Monica says:

    thank you so much for another great review. I want to get all the colors now!

  31. Femke van den Heuvel says:

    My all time favorites are distress inks, versamark, versafine black and brilliance inks. I would really love to have the opportunity to use your favorites though, those are less available in The Netherlands.

  32. Vanessa M says:

    I love my distress inks… so many cool things you can do with them!

  33. Carolyn S says:

    Thanks for listing out all your favorite inks with an explanation of why you love them. This way, I don’t have to do the experimenting! You’ve done all the hard work.

  34. Dottie J says:

    I use Versamark probably more than any other. Just tried the Versamark Dazzle and am loving it for tone-on-tone effects. Other than that, my favorite ink is whatever one I am using at the moment.

  35. Sonia says:

    My favourite ink comes down to a tie between Papertrey Ink and Avery Elle…gorgeous stamping!

  36. Megan Liane says:

    I love the heir arts shadow inks. Thanks for the chance!

  37. Laura Smith says:

    Loving the effects with the Distress Inks!

  38. Susan C says:

    i don’t have a favorite yet still learning and mostly go for a color i like

  39. c says:

    My ink stash is woefully limited! Sighhh…I’d love, love and love to try the ME inks! Thanks for the inspiration and, as always, the exceptional video!

  40. Diane says:

    My favorite ink is Distress I’m,s. Thanks for such a great explanation of inks.

  41. Mary Roberson says:

    Hi Jennifer,
    I am thrilled to see your MFCT videos! I’m always happy to see your videos because they are so informative. I find myself motivated to stamp/craft after watching your videos. Thanks for sharing your talents with us, Jennifer. Also, I’d like to thank the Sponsors who are also providing coupon codes.

  42. Ben Williams says:

    I really like the Tim Holtz Distress Inks!

  43. MonicaB says:

    I’m a big distress ink fan, but my collection is pretty small. Thanks for sharing all the wonderful inks that are out there.

  44. Gina says:

    Versafine is my go to ink, also love all the distress inks!!!

  45. Heather C says:

    I love too many inks to have a favorite. Although, I seem to be reaching for my distress inks the most lately.

  46. Isabelle Seah says:

    VERSAMARK! I use it all the time!

  47. Karen says:

    Thanks for another great helpful tips video!

  48. Sheryl Eb says:

    Memento Truffle. It’s not as harsh as black, but definitely not as light as brown. Very pretty color

  49. Candy B says:

    My favorite ink is Versafine Onyx Black. I’ve had that pad for years and it still stamps the best black images!

  50. Kaisha Purvis says:

    I love distress inks – peacock feathers.
