  1. Suzana M says:

    I use Memento Tuxedo Black ink for coloring images with Copics. I would like to try the MFT Black Licorice hybrid ink but haven’t found it in stock.

  2. jen williams says:

    My favorite ink is picked raspberries from Tim Holtz. However, since most of my cards start with an image to be colored, my most frequently used ink is MFT black licorice hybrid ink.

  3. Britney D says:

    Thanks for the chance to win this great giveaway! My favorite ink would have to be the simon says stamp inks because they blend out after a period of time and gives it a beautiful finish!

  4. Brenda Abruzzese says:

    I love Tim Holtz distress inks. I also use a lot of Stazon. Thank you for letting us know the Stazon cleaner is not good for clear stamps.

  5. May says:

    Distress inks are what I’ve had so far and I love what I can do with them..

  6. I use archival ink pads which I only have and I use them every time …

  7. Chelsea Treubig says:

    My favorite ink is the Momento Lux line… They are so vibrant! … Although I am quite partial to Tim Holtz Picked Raspberries as well. I would love to try Mamma Elephant and SSS.

  8. Dianne Guilinger says:

    now I use memento and Distress Inks, but am eager to try some of the pads you talk about.

  9. Nanda says:

    My favorite inks are memento ink because I color often with copics. Besides the memento ink I have mini Vivid inks which are great and vibrant in color.

  10. Jenny Kozar says:

    I am loving my mini distress cubes from Tim Holtz but look forward to trying a few more of your recommendations.

  11. Angelique says:

    My favorite inks are my Stampin Up inks. But that’s because that’s what I have. i alo have some Colorbox inks. I’m itching to try some Distress inks and Memento Luxe as well as a few others.

  12. Jennifer says:

    I like to use the stampin up pens on my stamps or distress inks. Thank you.

  13. Alyce says:

    The ink I use the most is the black Memento. It works well with the Copic markers.

  14. Diane says:

    My favorite ink is black memento. Thanks for sharing all your great information.

  15. Sandi Redmann says:

    Hi Jennifer
    With the ultra clean, will it still clean if the ink has been there for say 6 months?

  16. Rowena says:

    My go to inks are the Distress Inks. My favorite black ink is the Memento Tuxedo black ink. I have a bunch of other inks stashed away, but these guys will cover 95% of all my inking needs.

  17. Penny ODell says:

    I love Distress inks, but I also use Memento Tuxedo Black ink for when I use my Copic Markers.

  18. Julie coit says:

    Distress inks all the way all the time!

  19. Colleen C says:

    I love Distress Inks – there are so many fun techniques using these inks!

  20. Rachel V says:

    My favorite ink right now is Distress Ink but I really want to try the SSS ink, the ME ink and the MFT Hybrid ink.

  21. Vivi Fitzgerald says:

    I am ink crazy! Love my hero arts ink and my distress inks. Now I am working on getting my pigment ink supply built up.

  22. Loly Borda says:

    I like Versamark for sentiments and Distress for techniques.Thanks for the chance!

  23. Terri says:

    Versafine is my favorite ink for sentiments. I am venturing into pigment inks because the memento inks I have don’t work well with my favorite clear stamps. The inexpensive pigment inks I bought at Michaels aren’t cutting it as well as I had hoped. I really need to splurge on the good stuff.

  24. Katherine L says:

    My favorite is the hero arts shadow ink cubes. The cubes are cheaper, so I can try more colors.

  25. Lynsey S says:

    I love Distress Inks for techniques and Versamark for heat embossing. I don’t own any pigment inks, but I love Hero Arts dye inks.

  26. rkokes says:

    Distress is by far my favorite-so versatile!

  27. NanW says:

    So many fantastic inks to choose from!

  28. Erin Gengo says:

    I have just completed my collection of Distress Inks. They are so versatile and are my favorite by far. I use Versamark on so many projects. I really like Tsukineko Dew Drops (Memento, VersaMagic and Brilliance), also. I love the size. The VersaMagic and Brilliance work really well with clear embossing powder.

  29. Alecia B says:

    I have SO much to learn about Inks! I have all the TH inks but I quickly discovered that I like a more crisp image for stamping! So, I am still trying to find my perfect stamping ink. I have several HA inks but I would love to try out the Hybrid inks.

  30. Kyrsten Koops says:

    LOVE papertrey ink dye inks (for the colors and that they match their papers), but I also like memento luxe pigment inks, as well as distress inks for techniques.

  31. Jennifer D says:

    My favorite inks are the distress inks because there are so many things you can do with it. Also, would love to try the black hybrid ink in MFT. Thanks!

  32. Anita Pai says:

    I love distress ink. there are so many things you can do with it.

  33. Kaitlyn says:

    my favorite type of ink is Stampin up Ink and Tim Holtz distress inks.

  34. Michele says:

    I have several inks I use the most. Versa fine, Hero arts and mama elephant. Your video’s have helped me so much. You are a great teacher, thanks !

  35. Jayne Hoffman says:

    I have had mixed feeling about the Studio Calico inks. At one point, I hated them, but I am much happier with them while I was creating my Christmas cards this past month. I want to try the Wplus9 colors and the Simon Says inks look wonderful, too.

  36. SherylH says:

    Love the Versafine onyx for outline images and all the Distress inks for techniques.

  37. Chrissy cline says:

    I have very few inks currently, but i like rich cocoa momento ink (think thats the name, the brown color)

    My fave overall is definitely distress. But I have all the ha shadow inks, su!, and others.

    Close to my heart inks.

    I love the distress minis and versa fine black. but would love to start collecting the hero arts minis.

  41. Terri Jameson says:

    Memento tuxedo black. Most grabbed and always on the work table.

  42. Claudia España says:

    I use Tim Holtz distress inks and Versamark. Would love to try mama elephant, hero hues or any others as I love to try new inks.

  43. Annwa says:

    Versafine black ink is my favorite ink because it picks up detail so well.

  44. Favourite ink, that’s a hard one, perhaps tTom Holtz distress inks, so versatile. Thanks for the chance to win.

  45. Simon Hurley says:

    My favorite would be distress ink because I love to watercolor and do fun backgrounds but followed close by those would be the hero arts shadow inks which do some fun things too!

  46. JJ says:

    My fav inks are distress inks

  47. Ria moopen says:

    My favourite ink is the hero arts black dye ink and the distress inks cause you can do many different kinds of techniques with it.

    I can’t thank you enough for the informative and educative video. Im learning better everydays. I love TH and own all mini pad. I have never try Hero Art, that would be my next wish list. Thank you!!!

  49. Sheryl Sharp says:

    Like Julie I’m enamoured with Delicata. 🙂

  50. Lydine Arriola says:

    Again! Hard to choose! I have so many brands of inks that I love! I’d say mama elephants pigment inks is what I use more of! I also do love distress inks!! Ugh! Love them all!
