Fantastic Stamp Pads For Your Rubber Stamps

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 - This company creates fantastic stamp pads with names like Tropical Raspberry and Conch Shell. (Not familiar with the companies mentioned in this article? You'll find almost all of these products by simply typing in the name of the company at your favorite search engine). They also offer affordable reinkers for existing stamp pads. Stampers often enjoy the convenience of being able to control how juicy or dry their stamp pads remain.

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 - (Formally Fabrico) In the quest to locate non-primary color stamp pads, Versa Craft takes the cake. I had no trouble locating these twenty-two fantastic colors, like Pale Lilac and Bubblegum at very affordable prices. There are dozens of color combinations to choose from. You can also create your own unique colored stamp pads by blending reinkers. Many craft and hobby stores sell empty stamp pads that can be inked to any color.

Brilliance Dew Drops - Brighten up all of your cardmaking and paper craft projects with these twenty-four stamp pads contained in a dew drop shaped container. No need to spend a fortune buying these either, since I had no trouble locating their entire stamp pad line for under three dollars per pad.

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.
