See How to Use Instant Drying Pigment Ink for Wedding Invitations

Happy spring, everyone! This month we are focusing on wedding themes and I thought I would share some ideas using large floral stamps. When you are mass producing cards or invitations, you want to minimize the number of steps when creating. So using large images will save you a lot of time. Creating with a mess-free ink, like StazOn Pigment, is also key because it dries instantly and won’t smear. Lastly, for quick embellishing, use the Sheer Shimmer Stix to add the final wow factor. And your simple wedding project is done!

StazOn Pigment ink is Perfect for Stamping on Vellum

Hi everyone! I’m excited to share a new ink line – StazOn Pigment with you today. While you can stamp on acetate, metal, glass and other non-porous surfaces with this ink, I decided to show you how easy and perfect it is to use StazOn Pigment with vellum. It dries super quickly (like almost instantly) on vellum, and that’s super impressive! I love how this is the *only* pigment ink that dries so fast on paper as well. If you enjoy using pigment inks, you must check this out!
