    I would have to say versamark because I love heat embossing.

  3. Emily K says:

    Always love this video series. I’m just starting out with stamping and don’t have a favorite. I have been using simon says stamp inks and stampin up inks.

  4. Andrea Soule says:

    I’m a fan of Ranger Archival inks. They stamp beutifully if the stamp is properly prepared. Also love the VersaFine inks. I have 3 and I want more. I need to try Altenew. That’s my next purchase.

    I love the Ranger inks and Mini Distress !! They are super pigmented and easy to work !!

    Versafine black is my most used ink, recently started using the Versafine grey and cocoa as well.

  7. Tatjana Krause says:

    I’m just a beginner so I don’t have a specific favorite ink. Until now I have tried out versacolor and distress inks but would really like to try out dye inks!

    Thank you for the chance ☺️

  8. Elvira says:

    I love the series you are doing. It has a lot of information that I find very useful.

  9. Julie says:

    I really like my tsukineko classique pigment archival inks. They seem similar to versafine and I suspect they’re only available in asia since ive never seen anyone talk about them online.

  10. hopemitchell says:

    I use Versafine for sentiments … always learn a lot from your “Crafty Things” sessions. Thank you for being such a delightful role model.

  11. Beverly C says:

    Hero Arts Unicorn white Pigment ink. Absolutely love it! 🙂

    I think distress inks are my favourites. They are just so much fun!

  15. Kleri F says:

    Thank you so much for your videos,Jennifer!I have learned loads of things from you and I can’t thank you enough for that!
    Now about the inks…I live in Europe and some of the inks you have suggested are hard to get or expensive (I really wish SSS and Michael’s consider opening some stores in the UK as well!) .So, from what I had the chance to try so far, my favorite one for direct stamping is Archival Ink. For embossing I tend to use Versamark. And I also love distress inks for all the different things one can do with them.
    Thank you for a chance to win and good luck to everyone!

  16. Sue CD says:

    I use all of the inks in the video but my real favorite is Avery Elle pigment. Rich colors!

  17. Cyndi Morris says:

    Like you, I love Distress Inks for techniques such as watercoloring, but for stamping I use Versamark or Ranger Archival. After watching your videos, I ordered Hero Arts Unicorn White, but haven’t used it yet, but will be trying it soon.

  18. Kristen says:

    My favourite ink is Archival by ranger. I have great results.

  19. Cheryl Hutcherson says:

    I haven’t tried a lot of different inks. I use SU, but hate their new ones, and then Memento, which are okay. Would love to try the ones you mentioned!

  20. Sherrie M. says:

    My favorite inks are from Papertrey Ink and Tim Holtz distress! They always stamp perfectly for me.

  21. Lipika says:

    I like to use versafine inks mostly.
    Thanks.

  22. Jennifer S says:

    My favorite ink depends on what I am doing. For water coloring or techniques; Distress Ink. For straight up stamping on papaer, Lawn Fawn, Hero Arts and Simon Says Stamp inks. For crating on other surfaces, Stazon. For embossing (love heat embossing) Versamark.

  23. Gouri says:

    Distress inks… Just love them…. Have tried the Delicata pigment ink recently and kinda liking it too…

  24. Cindy Reynoso says:

    Good morning! Again, this video is so informative! I use VersaMark for embossing. I also use Papertrey Ink and have good luck with it, as well as SSS ink. I think I will be trying MFT ink, too, as I like to have inks that match the cardstock, which is one reason I’ve used PTI.
    Really enjoying these Favorite Thing videos, no matter how long they are! Thank you for taking the time to put all this information out there!

  25. Joyce says:

    Great picks!

  26. Suzanne says:

    I love VersaMark. I was thankful for your comments about the Distress Inks. I love using them but it seems I have to re-ink them a lot. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong. Thank you!

  27. annie dill says:

    My favorite ink is my favorite color, Berry Sorbet, an orange/pink, made by Papertrey Ink!

  28. Sue Martin says:

    Thank you so much for sharing this amazing video. I love love love my distress and simon says stamp ink.

  36. Another great video jammed packed with very useful information!!
    I have several different favorite inks, it just depends on what I am doing at the time. I like Versafine ink for my sentiments, Hero Arts Intense black ink for stamping images along with Memento tuxedo black ink. Both are great for Copic coloring, and then I love my Distress inks for ink blending.

  37. ACobb10 says:

    I absolutely love the distress inks!

  38. Lady Fair says:

    Thanks for sharing your experience with the variety of inks, this is very helpful to new and experienced crafters alike. I have many favorite inks for different things. Hands down, Versafine Onyx Black ink for sentiments, Memento Tuxedo Black and My Favorite Things Black Hybrid ink for Copics, and Tim Holtz Distress inks for techniques.

  39. My favorite ink has to be my Versamark ink for embossing!

  40. Allison Rle says:

    I canʻt imagine saying anything other than Distress Inks! I love techniques, and the possibilities are just limitless with them.

  41. cg2264 says:

    I haven’t seen the sparkle black ink before, and I think I would really like it! Another shout-out for Versafine black- I love it! I have stuck the protective sheet to the lid, though, so it doesn’t get in my way.

  42. FeM says:

    For sentiments I like to use versafine ink. I’m still working on ink blending and use distress inks.

  43. Becky says:

    Do you recommend 80# or 110# cardstock? I really enjoy your videos and have learned so much from you. I didn’t know Delicata made a black shimmer and white shimmer ink. I love their gold and silver inks, so I will have to give them a try.

  44. Sophie says:

    I love the Palette inks. Their black is really black and I have not had a problem with the pads getting the threads coming off of them. Plus they are good for copics. I am looking forward to trying the Altenew, as they have them in groups that match for the layering stamps. Thanks for another opportunity to win.

  45. Laraine R says:

    Love these videos! Great tips! I use distress, mft & su ink. I have recently started getting the altenew inks. Black I use memento, versafine. I also use versamark ink alot.

  46. Angie says:

    My favorite ink is Distress Ink. Thanks for another fun giveaway!

  47. Elaine says:

    My favorite inks are the Mini Distress Ink cubes….and I have the tins for them plus the sponge applicator on the bottom of each one…..so helpful! Love your video Jennifer!

  48. Susan Lang says:
