Or just new to me? I've been out of touch for a long time due to surgery on my right shoulder. Turned out to be a bigger deal than expected and I've been one-armed for seven months.
Anyway -- one of the blogs I follow was a woman who was a SU consultant and is now with a new company - Fun Stampers Journey. She had a video on her blog today that used their "fusion" inks. Has anyone ever heard of them? Or better yet - used them? She laid down the ink and then using some kind of blending oil to blend inks from her reinker -- interesting.
Ok, I should have searched FIRST and posted second - I see a multi-page thread about this company is already poted .. but I would like to know if anyone has tried their ink.
I've tried their Black Licorice and Huckleberry Fusion inks. Love the inks. I don't care for their stamp cleaner though. It's really oily. Love SU cleaner. I believe I was told it won't clean the FSJ ink off as well as their brand of cleaner though.
Disclaimer - I am a coach with FSJ. I do like the fusion inks. They give great coverage. I'm slowly changing over as my SU ones dry up.
Regarding Deb Valder, I think she was super successful with SU and has brought her creativity and business skills to FSJ. I was totally shocked when she switched! She's only been with the company a few months and already has built herself an amazing career. I'm very happy for her.
I hope you're healing well!

I have switched too. Love the inks, colors, and direction of the company.

I took a look at her blog and read the post about being a $1 million sales demo for Stampin' Up. The company sent her a card and a bouquet of flowers. I guess it could have been worse. They might have sent a t-shirt that said, "I sold $1 million in SU product and all I got was this lousy t-shirt."
She said she switched to FSJ for the red rubber stamps, because she does not use polymer. I think she picked a good time to switch. I wonder how many of customers jumped ship with her?
They actually do a lot more than just send flowers and a card to Million Dollar Achievers but since I'm not an achiever of that level I don't know the details.

I design with FSJ and do love the inks. But since they are a fusion they are hard to clean off the stamps -even rubber! I was so used to just using baby wipes with my stamps and ink and no more. Definitely get a cleaner, whether it's theirs or a different company. I have cleaners from just about every brand out there and they all work. The oily component that was mentioned is a conditioner that is put in the cleaner to help maintain the rubber stamps.
Actually, aside from the flowers and card, $1M Achievers receive a trip to the home office (includes families), which includes a lot of celebrating, not to mention a (very) sizable bonus check. I believe Deb was the 10th to achieve that milestone. Patty Bennett was the 9th, and she has a lot of blog posts about all the hoopla surrounding her event.
I can definitely appreciate Deb's wanting rubber only, as I am a die-hard rubber fanatic myself.

Forgot to add, FSJ Coach Julie Robinson was kind enough to send me a catalog. The stamps and matching dies I received were excellent quality, and Julie's customer service couldn't be any better.
