I often receive the question "which type of ink should I use?" or "what is the difference between the exclusive ink pads, and the pigment ink?" This video is my go to! Close to My Heart does a great job discussing the advantages as well as differences between using the different types of inks.

Personally I use our water based exclusive ink pads more. Mostly because I grew up with these, and the other reason is because the ink pads are larger so can cover your stamps quicker.

But there are many advantages, techniques you can do between the two types of inks! Check out the video!

I hope you have a happily ever crafter!
