    I haven’t used too many different ones. I’d love to try distress oxide inks, though.

  3. Jennifer Aspeitia says:

    I like versafine and hero arts inks, gina k inks are also great

    I’m so in love with the new distress oxide inks.

  5. dancingcat says:

    My favorite inks are Stampin’ up! inks, I have tried so many different brands but I really like the coverage I get with theirs. I just wish they came in cube size for smaller images ( I use a sponge dauber now)

  6. Monica W. says:

    Can’t afford to get a lot of different inks but I have the basics, Memeto Tuxedo black, Versamark for embossing and some mini distress inks. I ordered the oxide distress and waiting for them to come in the mail so I can play with them. Hope it is as easy as you make it look. Have a great day and thanks for sharing!

  7. Lindsey L says:

    I am recently liking Altenew inks a lot, but I have inks from several companies because of colors. Some of my suuuuper old Stampin’ Up inks are still favorites. I don’t think I could live without versafine onyx black.

  8. i love hero arts for stamping images, but for all others i used and loved my distress ink pads.

  9. Yvette N. says:

    I love to use the Distress Oxide inks!

  10. Sidney says:

    I like to use distress inks. I haven’t stamped for awhile but would love to get back into it.

  11. Karen L K says:

    Thanks so much Jennifer! My favorites are the Oxide Distress inks. I can usually wait and get a few inks at a time but for those I bought them fairly quickly, love them.

  12. Anja curvers says:

    Thanks again for this amazing video. My favorite ink at the moment are the distress oxide ones love how they blend.

  13. Jackie Price says:

    I am a huge fan of versamark ink for its embossing capabilities. I also really like the delicata (sp??) shimmer inks and distress inks. I’m wanting to explore my black ink doptions to find what works best for me. I’m also anxiously awaiting trying the distress oxide inks. I’ve LOVED everything I’ve seen where they’ve been used. Also, the Gina K. inks look amazing too so want to give them a try too. I really do need another income to support this habit of mine, lol!

  14. Donna Gourley says:

    How can you pick just one ink?! I mostly own Stampin’ Up! inks, but I am finding that I am buying more and more other inks to expand my selections…Right now I am obsessed with Altenew Inks. I love that they create the mini cubes in 4 coordinating colors. I’ve used these to see which colors I really use most and then buy the larger pads in those colors. I also like Papertrey Ink and My Favorite Things inks though. (and distress oxide of course).

  15. Cheryl G says:

    I love Gina K inks and papers, too! I think I have nearly all of them now💗 Thanks for sharing, Jennifer!

  16. Caren C. says:

    Right now, my favorite inks are Altenew inks. So smooth!

  17. I just upgraded (I’ve been making do with cheap inks up until now…) and purchased a Lawn Fawn ink, because a little elf told me I’m probably getting some Copics for Christmas! I haven’t tried it yet, but I have high hopes for fantastic performance. I must say, I am mightily intrigued by the Distress Oxide inks! I haven’t ever used any Distress inks before!

  18. SJ says:

    Distress inks are fun and it’s hard to mess them up. Just getting started with distress oxides. For color inks I pick colors rather than brands.

  19. Niralee Yeisley says:

    Love hero arts inks

  20. Shanti Day says:

    I love distress inks, but want to some crispy stamping inks! Shanti in Holland!

  21. Stacey Kowbel says:

    My favourite inks are definitely Ranger Distress and Ranger Distress Oxides. Always my go to inks to use.

  22. Stevye S says:

    Honestly, in the past I have used black ink, and colored in my images. I’m now starting to branch out a little and after your video on the first set of distress oxide inks, I took the plunge, ordered the set, and I LOVE them! I have discovered A whole new world of possibilities and boy has it been fun. As always, thanks for sharing your videos and ideas.
