Ink not drying on vellum tags?

[ckstamps]

Has anyone else had a problem with the SU classic ink not drying on generic vellum tags? I tried this the other day, only to have the ink smear. I waited, waited, and waited, tried to wave it dry, blow it dry, I even tried to dry it with my embossing heat gun, but it just made the ink feather all over the place.

Must be doing something wrong or I have really cheap vellum tags.

I let them dry over night.
I tried numerous ways and they kept smearing unitl I was interrupted and no smear.

I let all vellum dry over night just to be safe.

You could try and use Staz On.

Sprinkle on some clear embossing powder, heat it and voila! no smudging. I think it is neat to emboss on vellum with only the classic stamp pads....since it takes so long to dry!!!!

Such a great and simple solution! Someone had told me to place scratch paper over top and carefully press down to remove the excess ink, but I think I'll just emboss instead!

Thanks Debbie!
