Inks

What are inks?

Inks are versatile colouring materials used for stamping, spraying, and creating decorative effects on paper, fabric, and many other surfaces. They are available in different forms and finishes, making them suitable for both detailed designs and bold backgrounds. Inks are a staple in many crafting techniques, especially in card making, scrapbooking, and mixed media projects.

Different types of inks

At Vaessen Creative, inks are part of the paints, ink and mediums collection. They are available in several forms, each with its own effect:

• Ink sprays are liquid inks in spray bottles, perfect for covering large areas with colour, creating backgrounds, or adding splatter effects.
• Ink pads are compact pads filled with ink, used with stamps to transfer detailed designs onto paper, fabric, or other surfaces. They come in many finishes, from pigment and dye inks to metallics.
• (Alcohol) inks are highly pigmented, fast-drying inks that work beautifully on non-porous surfaces like glass, metal, and plastic. They create vibrant, flowing effects that are perfect for abstract art and decorative projects.

Together, these types of ink give you the flexibility to create everything from precise stamped images to fluid, artistic effects.

Creative hobbies & projects with inks

Inks can be used in many hobbies. In card making, ink pads are perfect for stamping crisp designs, while ink sprays help create colourful backgrounds. In Halloween crafting, alcohol inks can be used to design bold, moody effects on glass jars, lanterns, or spooky decorations. Another inspiring idea is in Easter crafting, where pastel sprays and ink pads add cheerful tones to seasonal cards and paper crafts. With inks, you can bring both detail and vibrancy to your creative projects.

Why choose inks for your projects?

The main advantage of inks is their variety. They can be applied with stamps, sprays, or directly onto surfaces, adapting to different techniques and materials. With options ranging from traditional stamping inks to modern alcohol inks, they offer endless creative possibilities. Whether you are crafting for everyday fun or making seasonal decorations, inks help you achieve professional and expressive results.
