 HI EVERYONE, CAN ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT MARVY PENS THAT HAVE TWO SIDES ON THEM. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO USE THEM BRUSH SIDE ON MY STAMPS AND THE INK WONT STAY ON THEM TO RUBBER STAMP. I HAVE CLEANED THEM BUT THE INK WONT STICK. ANY IDEAS FROM U ALL? THANK TRACY 

 There's a brush tipped Marvy pen that works (huge tip) but since the ink is water based, sometimes the rubber on stamps repels the water.  You might try using a stamp cleaner first to clean the rubber and then see if it works.  Are you using wood mounted or acrylic mounted?  I'm thinking that wood mounted might work better.
 That's my two cents....otherwise, I'm not really sure.

 I HAVE BEEN USING THE ACCRYLLIC STAMPS MOSTLY BUT I WILL STRY A STAMP CLEANER. I WAS GOING TO TRY TO GET IN TOUCH WITH MARVY YA KNOW. THANKS

If they are acrylic stamps try rubbing a white ink eraser over the stamp. From what I understand they need to be roughed up a little in order to hold the ink. I've even used a regular pink eraser because I didn't have an ink one and it helped.

 Oh and I forgot to mention that I use the double sided Marvy pens too.
