2018 card challenge - January

. So what would be a good white ink pad to use as I've just gone back to printing what I wanted instead?

Craft test dummies (.com) have done a comparison of @10 different white ink pads if you're interested. Stampin' Up, Avery Elle & Delicata came out well. Sorry I haven't been joining in recently. My craft stuff has all been packed away for the next few weeks.

Oh thanks, that's good to know.

I tried stamping with white too in the past, without much success, white pens are not much better !
Thanks for the info scrapmate, maybe i’ll give it a try again sometime

Maybe I'll stick to printing in white for now. I Googled reviews on the ink pads and some people said they stamped bright white and others said it was opaque and that's for the same ink pad, very strange. Thanks for the help anyway scrapmate, perhaps Sarah can tell us what the Stampin' Up one is like.

I've just opened my birthday cards and thank you so much Ellie and everyone for the beautiful card. Oh Ellie it made me laugh when I saw it, hubby just loved it too. So thoughtful. I've taken a photo but it doesn't do it justice so I will take another tomorrow.

Happy Birthday Susie.
Glad you like the card. It’s what I thought your boys would look like before
being groomed
Have a lovely day today..

Happy birthday Susie! Looking forward to seeing the card now. Xx
I don't rate the White SU one..it's very wet and smudgy. It's the only white pad I've ever bought and I'm not going to bother again.. I usually find a way round it.

[Susie.A]

Thanks Elaine. Interesting to know that you are not happy with the Stampin' Up white ink pad. I found another small white one which I already had Cloud White by Versa magic and I'm not impressed with that either. I do prefer a crisp stamped image.

Despite best intentions I didn't get to make my ex SIL a card after all.. So nothing to show here.

I managed to get a photo of your gorgeous card Ellie before I lost the light again today. I love the way you used the laser cut frame after I commented on them. Thanks again ladies.
