Manila tags and folders are an unbleached product, but all white paper and cardstock requires bleaching to get it white. <br /><br />But I'm with you on the whole grandstanding thing. Paper is paper is paper!<br /><br />JudiJudi Hodgkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03469122594484546804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595954191454851841.post-7752624663969364852011-09-18T09:31:44.136-04:002011-09-18T09:31:44.136-04:00Great demo Roni!Great demo Roni!Carolynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3595954191454851841.post-90829787406546136772011-09-16T14:32:31.934-04:002011-09-16T14:32:31.934-04:00I haven't bought any of the stains, but I appr...I haven't bought any of the stains, but I appreciated the "soapbox" speech. I'm sure there are some special end results that may require certain papers or other supplies, but for the most part, I use Sam's, Hobby Lobby, Michael's.

I don't have any of the Tim Holtz stains but I think I'll try it with ink refills that I do have and see how that turns out. Have you tried it on canvas as a background for mixed media? I will put this on my "to do" list for the weekend.

Like you said... ink can only go so far. Plus if you put too much and have any ink left on the mat, just run another tag through so it wont be wasted. Then I have stack of tags ready to be used. :)Caroline D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05480073385432125554noreply@blogger.com
