iZink Stamping is Fun!

iZink foam rubber stamps and mini pigment ink pads are perfect for creating interesting backgrounds for cards and gift packaging and if stamped onto tissue paper you could even make your own gift packaging! They can be used in conjunction with other stamps and inks too.

To view a selection of the iZink range of stamps, embossing powders, and 3D Texture Pastes see pages N.37-N.39 of the Autumn/Winter 2017 Trends Catalogue. Alternatively you can view the full range of iZink products including inks and inkpad sets in the Aladine Catalogue on Efco’s German website.

1. Protect your work surface with paper before you start. Place the beer mats side by side on the paper. Sprinkle the beer mats with drops of yellow and green iZink dye ink. Leave to dry.

Spritz the surface of the mats with yellow and green iZink pigment ink sprays. Leave to dry.

2. Stamp the coasters with flamingos using the Stampo black ink pad. Whilst the ink is still wet cover them with transparent embossing powder and tap off the excess.

Heat with the embossing heat tool until the powder has melted.

Tip: When working with embossing powder always keep a piece of paper handy to tap any excess powder onto so that it is easier to pour it back into the jar.

3. Colour the famingos pink with a brush and pink pearl effect iZink pigment ink. Leave to dry. If the green colour shows through when dry reapply the pink colour and leave to dry.

Spray the beer mats with clear matt varnish and leave to dry. Spray the backs of the beer mats with clear varnish and leave to dry.
