Recently, I visited a large craft and hobby store, hoping to find some great new colors to add to my stamp pad collection. It wasn't too long after I began stamping that I realized how difficult it was to find great stamp pads, in a large array of coordinated colors, within my local area's offering of craft and hobby shops. Boy was I surprised at how poor the selection was when I did decide to wander out to look for stamp pads. While it wasn't that hard to find specialty stamp pads like metallics and chalkers, finding dye or pigment based stamp pads in anything but the primary colors turned out to be a much bigger chore...until I discovered these fantastic sources that are only a few clicks away:
Sea Shells - With names like Tropical Raspberry and Conch Shell this fantastic stamp pad company has a large variety to offer. (If you're not familiar with where to purchase these products, simply type in the names of the companies mentioned in this article in your favorite internet search engine). Reinkers can also be purchased at great prices which give you the convenience of being able to control how dry you like your stamp pads. Most of the colors offered are attractive pastels.
Ranger Rick - This company has always had a fantastic selection of stamp pads, but I was not too familiar with the many stamp pads they offer outside of their distressing line. Ranger Rick just added a whole new dimension to stamping with their new line of scented ink pads. Used just like regular pigment or dye based ink pads, these stamp pads have the added touch of smelling like their name. I love the Hot Cocoa, Pumpkin Pie, and Sugar Plum stamp pads which make holiday scrapbook pages that have a perfect scent!
Versa Craft - I love their fantastic colors, like Pale Lilac and Bubblegum which can be purchased at very affordable prices. They have a large array of colors that are sure to suit any stampers taste. With twenty-two coordinated colors to choose from, you'll never have a problem creating eye popping layouts with brilliant, coordinated color palettes. Don't forget that you can also create your own unique stamp pads by blending reinker drops on empty stamp pads. Your local craft and hobby store should sell these, but in the case you cannot find them, I had no trouble locating them in many different sizes at many online retailers.
Brilliance Dew Drops - Their adorable cases will be the first thing you notice when looking through a selection of stamp pads offered by this company. Brighten up all of your cards and scrapbook layouts with their adorable selection of twenty-four colors. No need to spend a fortune on stamp pads either, since their stamp pads were priced at just under three dollars each.
Having stamp pads in coordinated colors makes cardmaking and scrapbooking more fun and ensures that your projects, layouts, and cards have are special, lifelong works of art too! You'll be pleased to know that many of these companies also offer other coordinated products such as ribbon, card stock, buttons, and brads. The stores we found these products at had reasonable shipping prices and good return policies. No need to worry about any extra expenses or losing your order in the mail. The best thing about buying these great products online is that you can shop in your pajamas, from the comfort of your home, at any time of the day or night, and you will be stamping with these great stamp pads in no time at all!
