This is an amazing recipe! I didn’t have gouache so I used cheap acrylic paints that I had lying around. A small blob of paint, drop of glycerin and rubbing alcohol on a makeup sponge and it made the best homemade stamp ink. I’m not a frequent “stamper” so I could never justify buying too many colours. This recipe means I can have unlimited colour stamp inks. I don’t know how long it will last without drying up but since I don’t do it too often I can just make how much I need. Thank you so much.
Glycerine is also good for rubber around the car doors ,refrigerators,deep freezer,keeps it supple.
In case you haven't tried; when you are making a darker green that looks almost grassy, use black instead of blue. Grass is a combination of yellow and black. Being an artist that loves paint as a medium, I found early in my career that nature reflects combinations of the surrounding area. The ground is usually a dark brown or black. Just a tip. Great info!
That makes sense. I also love color(& realize this is super dated thread) except blue grass{altho I think it'd be blue+black+ a touch of green...)
Watching you just makes me happy! I can tell you love art and helping others afford it! Thank you from a fan in Michigan who can't wait to see what you will teach next!
thank you!
You are so knowledgeable! I learn a tremendous amount by watching your videos!! Thank you very much for making them!!! Don't ever stop. 💖
TOTALLY WORKS - I just tried it! I didnt have Gum Arabic so I used a drop of white glue to give it more slip and glossiness. I also added a wee bit more Glycerine, because I scraped of the decomposing foam off an ancient ink pad, and I glued down a new piece of foam and so I wanted to soak the whole thing. Its totally embossable too - cos I tried that too - so so so stoked - you are a genius and I think I watched almost all your videos in one go~!
Really, really helpful video Linsday! I desperately wanted to make my own ink pads from existing art supplies rather than buying loads more, so I used your method on my DIY sponge stamp pad which I made from an old eyeshadow palette and some make-up sponges. I've linked to this video from my video, which shows me having fun making stamps and ink pads. Hope that's OK and I hope you enjoy seeing my DIY! Video is currently uploading so hopefully it will be up soon... Thanks again Lindsay, love all your videos!
I luv this very helpful
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this tutorial. I, like you, would be happy to buy refills if they were readily available (I found your video while searching for stamp reinker), but now I feel quite confident about mixing my own.
I even considered experimenting with the pigment ink from my inkjet printer.
Thank you so much for showing. Can't afford to buy a lot of stamp pads. Just bought a box of cheap paint and glycerin and now have more colors with diy pads. Love watching your tutorials xxx hugs from Europe
I'm amazed with how closely you matched the colors. It was really impressive.
Thank you for all your wonderful videos. All useful, but most of all for your lovely presentation and friendly, happy character.
Wow LINDSY, here I am from the future, lol🚀👽 This couldn't be more timely as I have several pads that dried up/used up, and I just couldn't throw them away, and here you are. I have one type of pad though, Ancient Page, where there was a very tiny amount of ink, but the pad itself was rock hard, and when I poked at it, it just crumbled to pieces. I still have the other two pads, so I'm going to finish your video and see if an answer pops up. You never can tell.
I just wish you'd pass along some of your energy!
Blessings lovely lady❣
Awesome! Thanks for the info and for all your videos. I watch them over and over trying to absorb all the knowledge you share.
Thank you sooo much!!! I have pads that have dried up but I just don't want to spring for the cost of the reinkers. This is sooo AWESOME!!!!!!!
Hi Lindsay . I just love clever people !!! Thank you so much :))
Wonderful wonderful wonderful..! As always my dear. Thank you for teaching us these money saving
Tips. GBU.
You are amazing!. I need to reink several pads and now have the knowledge to do this inexpensively~!
Thanks so much for this! I can’t give up my Versacolor pads I love them, but the reinkers are so pricey! You saved me!💕💕💕
I love DIYs. ...in crafting things .This one is really helpfu. ...Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much, Lindsay. I'm looking forward to trying this!
Love your videos, super easy and helpful! Thanks!
Wow such a good idea I’m glad I haven’t thrown away my dying ink pads !
Thanks, Lindsay. I have a box of gouache that I hardly use, so they will be useful for this. I am saving thus ti favorites.x
Thanks very much for the quick reply Lindsay. I will head on over there now. It sounds a bit like when I used to develop my own 35mm films years ago - before digital - I'd love to be able to make a few custom stamps of my own! Thanks for all your videos and help I look forward to each and every one! xx
This is a little different from what I tried in the past. I used a bowel and ended up with a pudding instead of ink because I had too much of each ingredient. Thank you so much for the demo. You've done it again!
Hi Lindsay, you are a great bundle of inspiration.
Very useful... thanks to you and the person who requested it!
I love this tip and I going to do this to a few pads that I have.
Well demonstrated video showing complete procedure of making pigment #inkpads of different color. Keep it up the good work.
Dial A Stamp thanks!
No it is not on its own but if you heat set it (with an iron on fabric or heat gun on paper) it will be much better and you might be able to watercolor over it or wash it then. You can always use embossing powder with it to make it waterproof too!
Perfect timing. So helpful!
Thanks for the art/craft uses for glycerin. I bought a bottle last year when I made my sister a snow globe (it helps the snow fall slower) and haven't used it since, as I didn't know what else to use it for.
And I've just noticed that you've done a video for glycerin 101 - better add it to my watch later list :)
Love it!! I have like a dozen (or more) ink pads really, really, really dry.
Thanks! This looks so much easier, and probably cheaper. Blessings.
This is a GREAT TIP! I added this video to a NEW playlist:Crafting Hacks.
Hi Hazel, I don't have any stampmaker videos, I've tried several times but the lights I need to use for my videos over expose my stamps. I do have some written tutorials on my blog tho, see the link in the video description and you can search "stampmaker" one you are there. Send me a message if you have trouble, there is a learning curve with that thing!
I really enjoy watching your videos
Thank you so much for this video. Very helpful !
Thankyou, Lindsay.. I finally, found a place to purchase it, at- Sprouts- in Santee, Ca. And, it works GREAT! Love it! And, Thankyou, Lindsay, for getting back to me, so quickly..... Take Care.. Love, your videos.. What is next?
You can't really make pigment, you need to mine it (these are inorganic compounds from minerals such as iron) or you can buy powdered pigment from an art supplier, it is very expensive and in most cases quite toxic (colbolt, cadmium, lead) you will not save money doing this, most of the pigments in inkpads are synthetic, as are the pigments in the student grade (cheap!) gouache I recommend. If you decide to work with pigment powders take all safety precautions and wear a ventilator mask.
chalk ink is more matte looking and is quick drying. Omit the glycerin and add a few drops of water to make chalk ink:)
I had experimented with gouache before but it was so experimental and didnt quite come out right - I am so glad that you shared this tut - I desperately need some tomato red pigment ink refill and none of the 3 craft stores here are carrying that colour this season - and I need some NOW so definitely going to try this - luckily bought tons of gouache the last time. Curious to see if I can get my hand on some gum arabic as well tthat you suggested in your marker refresher video! Thanks a bunch!
THANK you! This was 'chalk' FULL of information.
This is an oldie, I almost didn't recognize your voice ! I love watching your older videos too. 😁
Hope you enjoyed it!
What makes glycerin so amazing is it’s a humectant. It draws moisture out of the air and traps it in, or beneath the glycerin. 🤗
Dear Lindsay, you are such a wealth of information. Is there anything you don't do? I love u!
another excellent video. Special for me, as I live on Bali,indonesia, there are no craftshops here which sell inkpad etc.
Thanks this is a a great help
You know I love you, but now my husband loves you too with all your money saving techniques.
+Abeer Yaqoob great! Hopefully I won't talk you into something expensive LOL!
+thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich We don't get that kind of paint in my country so I have an idea. Why don't I mix regular watercolor tubes of paint with melted pastels or crayons just to make the pigment more rich. and then if the pastel+watercolor gets dry in my ink pad i can add glycerin or use a blow dryer to heat it up a bit before i use it. (im not sure if ill get vegetable glycerine; will regular glycerine do?)
LOVE this! My inks are all dry. I was wandering in the crafting store and, boom, what did I see? Gouache Paint! Yay! I didn't find any vegetable glycerin but I'm on the right track. Thank you!!
GodzHarleyGirl Studio-voice from the future-thats called synchronicity, something similar happened to me. I was doing a declutter and was broken hearted because some of the pads had used up or dried up, and no re-inkers. For some reason I wasn't ready to throw them out. A couple of days later I literally stumbled across this video. Just what I needed. I can't explain synchronicity very well, but it's sort of things being drawn together just as they are needed, or like attracting like, but that's not exactly it either. Best if you look it up.
Blessings🙏❤️
I ordered a 32 oz bottle of Vegetable Glycerin from Amazon for $12.79 and will be looking to buy smaller bottles for storage and such. I love watching Lindsay as I ALWAYS find interesting things on her site!!! Always a good use of my time...
@@lindataylor863 Thanks!! Hugz, Tree
You answered me already! Wow! We don't have a Dollar Tree in this neck of the woods but we have Dollerama. They might have the little sponges you mentioned and I will check it out. I think Mr. Clean is pretty pricey. Soap container sounds like what I was after but couldn't think of anything. lol I really appreciate your answering so fast. Your da bomb. :)
I learn so much watching you. Thanks.
I'm so glad!
Very informational thank you so much!
Hola, me gusto mucho esa idea, MUCHAS GRACIAS, I love it,
tfs great for seniors on limited income very grateful
Homemade ink pads........who would have thunk it! Thanks for sharing!!! Kat
hi Lindsay...I have so much fun watching your videos! I'm coming out of severe depression, and your ideas and DIYs give me something to look forward to...something to finally be excited about!! I have watched your stamping/card making tutorials up through #17, but cannot find #18 and up...where are they?? thank you so much for being you!
+camille wing in the stamp school playlist. I don't know how to link it from my phone but you van find it on my channel
Hi Lindsay, I found that my gouache paints keep just fine. I put them in a little palette and they do chunk up, but when I add water, they remix as they are watercolor. The glycerin shouldn't affect it's ability to remix. Just an fyi =)
Hi Lindsey I'm glad you shared this because refills for my ink pads are very expensive. I bought some dope dyes, A few months ago in a sale I was wondering if you know what fabric dope dyes are and if I can use them to rethink my dye based ink pads.
about to buy some of that type of paint... looks verrrry useful =)
aww, thanks! Glad I could help:)
I've been waiting for a long time for you to show us how to make those stamps!
Eva Stovall my video attempts failed, my studio lights kept exposing the polymer, sorry;(
I have the TC Stampmaker from Imagepac....If I had it to do over I would not have bought it, big learning curve and so much can go wrong:)
Do you need gouache paint or could you use other water solvent colors? Does it work with white pigment ink pads as well? i have a staz on white pigment ink pad and I think it is really expensive to reink it the whole thime with the white staz on ink...
Really tickled to see this. I LOVE chalk ink pads. I use them all the time but some of them need re-inking. I'm an artist so I already have gouache in my studio.
Wow fabulous! New subscriber thanks!
Fabulous stuff
Thank you so much for this video. :)
Thank you so much for making this video as I do have the paints you used here. I have a bunch of old stampin up classic ink pads. They are not completely dry, but need reinking, and most of the colors have been discontinued. Can I used these paints and follow your method to reink these pad? Not sure if they are "pigment" stamp pads or not. Thanks so much!
Could you use what is left on you palate to smoosh on a card to make an interesting background?
Great video too
Hey Lindsay, I got to say I'm learning so much from your videos!!!, And from one teacher (retired) to another , you got it girl!!! Seriously, you really are a fantistic teacher... I LOVE THE DIY CHEAPER SUBS VIDEOS, PLEASE DON'T EVER STOP MAKING THESE as well as your informative ones as well. I have a quick question, what percentage of alcohol do you use, reg or 91%.?? KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK... Thank you so much, Debbie
whatever's on sale LOL! You could use distilled water too, basically I am using alcohol to dilute the paint without introducing bacteria, less % of alcohol is better in this case.
Great info!! Tfs!
Oh it is easy, just put glycerin on your ink pad! You might need a drop or two of water especially if you live in dry areas but that's all there is to it!
very clever! Thank you!
brilliant! thank you!
Hi, Lindsay! I really enjoy your CZcams video tutorials and your blog. In fact, you've inspired me to get back into doing more artsy and craftsy things. I had cut back quite a bit after having a severe allergic reaction to gouache about a decade ago because my allergist advised me to stay away from all paints as he thought this allergy would just get worse over time. (Basically his theory was less exposure to any paint would limit the number of my reactions and more exposure might make me eventually react more strongly each time, and, eventually, to paints other than gouache.) After watching your video on DIY pigment ink pad re-inking, and doing some research on Wikipedia, I began wondering if I'm just allergic to one of the ingredients that was in the gouache. (If it is a proprietary chemical compound [aka "a secret ingredient"] only used by the company whose paint I bought, then I'm not allergic to paint, but a chemical.)
Recently I've been doing some stamping and am nervous about using pigment inks because of my allergic reaction to the gouache. I've used dye inks recently without any allergic reaction, as well as plain watercolor paints and Derwent Inktense blocks to paint and stamp with. I've never had a reaction to pen inks either and have been doing calligraphy for years. So I want to ask you if you think that the common ingredients in gouache paints (i.e. what makes gouache gouache and not another type of paint) are commonly found in the pigment inks and ink pads that stampers use. Was your idea to use gouache paint to re-fill your pigment ink pads based on knowing that is what is actually used by the ink pad ink manufacturers (and should I avoid pigment ink pads and inks like the plague?) or was your DIY idea a "use-what-you-have" experiment that worked out well?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents with all of us,
Mel
Mel B. I am using student grade gouache so it will not have cobalt, cadmium or lead like artist quality might. Maybe you are allergic to titanium white or chalk? Those are what I reckon they use to make gouache opaque, other than that the ingredients should be identical to watercolor. Maybe you brand had a preservative chemical in it? M Graham is a professional paint company who uses honey as a preservative and wetting agent, have you tried that? Other wise I cannot imagine what is in your gouache that is not in watercolor to affect you.
thefrugalcrafter . My allergy has been a mystery to me and those who know me, because aside from occasional mild hay fever I had not had any major allergies before my reaction to gouache. (My sister, on the other hand, was allergic to everything they tested her for as a kid and then some. This experience gave me quite a good start on figuring out what caused my reaction and how to deal with it.) I really appreciate your insights because my teachers were stymied. My color theory teacher was especially concerned because she had been teaching for 30 years and never heard of such a thing. Then, within six months, another student of hers had an allergic reaction similar to mine! Weirdness!
Thank you for answering my questions. You've given me some hope that I may be on to something by suspecting a chemical additive instead of the ingredients all water soluble paints have in common. Perhaps the culprit will turn out to be a proprietary "secret ingredient" used only by the company that made my gouache paints. This would be great since then all I have to do is avoid that company's products! Hoo-ray!
I wrote to the manufacturer of my gouache to request information and the form they sent me said that their product contained two ingredients know to cause skin irritation. Understatement! Unfortunately for me the chemicals have long, multi-sylablic names that describe their molecular structure like methyl-8lauryl-5oxy-10 ect. and not some short, easy to remember name like Titanium White. For all I know a chemist might translate them to "Titanium White."
It occurs to me to ask - are there any water-based markers that use an opaque ink similar to gouache that I ought to avoid? For instance, I heard that the Tim Holtz Distress color Picket Fence is an opaque white ink while all the other distress colors are translucent water-soluble colors. Is that so? Thank you again for your help.
Mel B. not that I know of...
Thanks for that info, Lindsay.
I was thinking this morning that I'm sure I've worked with Titanium White acrylic paint since my initial gouache reaction, though perhaps with gloves on, in order to finish my color theory class. (Then once the class was finished I disposed of everything that came in contact with any paint whatsoever.) And I own a pair of glasses with titanium frames -which it occurs to me I was wearing regularly when the really bad reaction happened. I've just checked/googled and titanium is supposed to be hypoallergenic. Hmmmm..... I'm going to continue to research this and the leads you suggested, but in the meantime I'll stick mostly to dye inks and wear gloves when I work with pigment inks and white inks, just to be safe. I think I'll make a separate ink cleaning pad set for those inks, too.
Happy crafting!
awesome tutorial. TFS
Can you point me to any videos you have done about your stamp maker please? I really would like to have a go at making some of my own stamps, but do not have a clue where to start? Thanks in advance. I love your videos. xx
how to prepare gouche paint and which type of culminal you are using and can u explain please. explanation is very good. thanks alot
Hi thanks for the tutorial can I use watercolor tube paint instead of goauche I have failed to find it in the stores here .if I mixed Chinese white in the colors would it work thanks again
it does not matter, you just want some in there to kill any bacteria that might be in the tap water, about 1/2 water and 1/2 rubbing alcohol.
Excellent video thank you. Would oil paint work the same way in the ink pad . I'd hate them to dry out . Many thanks
I don't think so
I love your videos. I watched an older one you made on this same subject and have a question. Can I do the same with dye ink pads? Thanks!
Dye inks are trickier because of the viscosity and concentration you need. I buy dye ink refills from stamin up or memento and just refill any dye pads with those. Wait for a good sale on joann.com ND stock up on memento is my advice.
Thank you for all your videos you do! You're totally my go to if I have questions.
Which is why im here today.. I got some pretty dried up stampin up ink pads for a great deal, and I think I can revive them somewhat....but I'm not sure what the best way to do it is....I have glycerin, and Isopropyl alcohol,, but they are dye ink. So not sure which way to go...what do you suggest?
Hope you had a very Merry Christmas and will have a Happy New Year!!
Thanks again,
Melissa
Good for you, i love SU! dye ink pads. First we need to determine if they are dryed up or used up. So open the pds and look at the edges of the pad on the side, is the felt white or dark with the ink color? If it is dark them mix a teapsoon of glycerin with 4 ounces or water in a spray bottle and give it a couple squirts to wet the pad and let it sit a few hours open right side up so it can sink in, then try stamping, if it is still dry add another squirt. You can add a couple drops of alcohol to the mix if you are worried about bacteria in your water. If the edges are white you need to reink it, you can order reinkers from Stampin Up or use any dye based reinkers, I think in this case Stampin Up ink is the cheapest and you get more in the bottle. In a pinch I have used Blick liquid watercolors with a bit of glycern to thicken it and reinked with those, you can mix them to get the right color. I'd buy the reinkers though so you will have consistent results. If a color is discontinued just buy the closest you can find:) Another idea is to buy the Memento reinkers when they go on sale at Joann.com. Happy stamping!
Ooh thank you!! Will def try that. I was hoping the gouache would work cuz I had that, but I'll try this. That you so much for your prompt reply :-)
Thanks!!!!
Do I need desaturated alcohol and distilled water?
Melissa Mg no, i use tap water and rubbing alcohol if needed, denatured alcohol is really potent, I use it to revive my staz-on pads and alcohol markers but that is it:)
Of ok good. I thought it was a little expensive for a few pads, cuz, what the heck would I use it for later, lol!!
Thanks for sharing!
would love to know more about the stamp maker you spoke of in this video.
it is a UV light and gell packets that harden with your design. Here is the kit I have: amzn.to/2EsNhOr there is a bit of a learning curve but if you are patient you can make very detailed stamps at home: amzn.to/2EsNhOr
Thanks so much for responding. :O) You are so clever! :O)
Lindsay, love love love your videos and thanks for sharing your tips. You mentioned that you can't store the ink on the ink pad? Why? Is there a way to store the ink??
may cheung it is a weird in the staz-on white, it needs to be reinked every time, it is the only one I have like that and I hardly ever use it because it is a pain.
Interesting... TFS
Can you do this for hybrid ink pads and retain the ink qualities?
Does it help to store ink pads upside down or does it matter at all? Dye or pigment, either one. Thanks.
Chris Rice Per another video of Lindsey’s, she recommended storing DYE Ink up-side- DOWN (D.D.) and PIGMENT Ink right-side-Up (U.P.); the acronyms help me remember.
Lindsay, I have one of those ink pads that has the 3 inks in it too and the middle ink is so dry that it is hard as a brick. Any way to save it? The other 2 inks in the stamp are fine and don't need a thing. Just the middle one. And wouldn't you know it would be gold.
Southern Angel add some rubbing alcohol to it to dissolve the ink and then a bit of glycerin to make it creamy again.
Ok.. Thank you! I will give that a try then. I was about to get rid of it b/c I thought I had messed it up or something! So glad to know that I can try and fix it b/c they are too expensive to just get rid of! Thank's again Lindsay :-)
P.S. I more or less mean store them so they don't get dirty or contaminate something else. I heard you say you can't store for another use. I thought you might have a neat idea about what to keep them in.
can you use the spray inks as stamp pads also
I also, hear Glcerin is an Excellent hand& body moisturizer. As, Well as a great way to a nice sheen look, to your hair.... Hmm.. I will have to try it and see... Let you, know.
+Joy-n-scrappin Yes, plus you can make your own Vitamin C & Echinacea supplement by filling a jar halfway with some dried elderberries and Echinacea root, filling it the rest of the way with Glycerin, then warm the jar gently in a slow cooker with a little water for about 2 days, strain, store in fridge. 1 tsp for adults 1x per day when you have the flu. Awesome stuff!
+Joy-n-scrappin Got the name of the youtuber for the recipe I used originally, if you're interested: Jill's Home Remedies
Great tips
I hope you see this. My Cats Eye pads are full of ink but dry. How do I re wet them. No ink needed.
+Lynda Thomas add a few drops of glycerin
What recipe would I use gouache to make distress oxide?
I love your channel!
I actually buy reinkers for my oxides. You can experiment with chalk, glycerin and gouache or watercolor to get something similar.
Brilliant thanks
Thx so much.
