Does anyone have a recommendation for a good gold pigment ink pad? Bonus points if it has a reiniker available.
TIA!

Check out this thread for recommendations. Personally, I no longer keep metallic ink pads since I rarely use them. Rather, I stamp with either VersaMark (clear) or VersaFine Clair (in the same/similar color as the paper) & heat emboss with metallic Ranger Super Fine Detail EP (& re-emboss for a more saturated color &/or smoother finish, if desired). HTH. |

HTH. Bit of a hijack - re: embossing - is a Snappy Tray reallly worth it? Ali always uses it, but I’ve come to be really skeptical of Ali’s tool knowledge. She is often way behind the times in that department. Is there something better to use? |

She is often way behind the times in that department. Is there something better to use? If you're referring to Ali Edwards, I don't follow her, but a Google search reveals a Snappy Tray is Judikins' version of a funnel tray. I personally dislike the snap together design & prefer a traditional hard plastic tray. I used the original Tray Mate for ~15 years until replacing it with a Sizzix Funnel Tray. Funnel trays in various sizes/colors/brands/prices/etc. are widely available online & at craft stores, discount retailers, hardware stores, etc. HTH & you find one that works well for you... PSA: While convenient, a funnel tray is not necessary to emboss. Rubbing an anti-static bag over a scrap sheet of cardstock, embossing, curving two sides of the paper together to create a makeshift funnel, & pouring excess embossing powder back into the container (before quickly wiping the work surface with a Swiffer Hand Duster) still works! |

Funnel Tray! Thank you for that term, PaperAngel! Using that term I see there are a ton of alternatives. Great! |
