Rubber Stamps - Great Ink Is Not Hard To Find

Sometime shortly after I began stamping, I became quickly aware of the fact that having great stamp pads in many different color schemes was both expensive and hard to accomplish. Recently, I visited a large craft and hobby store, hoping to find some great new colors to add to my stamp pad collection. Boy was I surprised at how poor the selection was. Many of the primary colors could be found and there were a considerable amount of specialty stamp pads (metallic, gel, pearl, iridescent, etc.). Finding classy stamp pads seemed very difficult 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 - If their stamp pad selection wasn't already fantastic, Ranger Rick just added a whole new dimension to stamping with their new line of scented ink pads. I love the Hot Cocoa, Pumpkin Pie, and Sugar Plum stamp pads for truly fantastic holiday cards that have brilliant colors and a memorable scent!

Versa Craft - In the search to find unique stamp pads, Versa Craft takes the cake in my opinion. I love their fantastic colors, like Pale Lilac and Bubblegum which can be purchased at very affordable prices. There are twenty-two coordinated colors to choose from. Create your own brilliant stamp pad colors by blending reinkers on empty stamp pads (these can be purchased online or at your local craft store).

Brilliance Dew Drops - Having these wonderful stamp pads in your crafting area is sure to liven up all of your future projects. Packaged in unique dew drop shaped cases, these twenty-four colored ink pads pack brilliance and beauty in a small, attractive container. You won't have to spend a fortune either, since I found all of their stamp pads for sale at less than three dollars apiece.

Anyone who spends time looking around stamping and scrapbooking galleries knows that colors are one of the most important things which will make a project pop or flop. Having the right stamp pads in a wide array of attractive colors goes a long ways in making that handmade card truly a work of art. You don't need to spend a fortune to get some great stamp pad color schemes going either. Start looking today for some of these fantastic stamp pad selections.
