Coordinated Stamp Pads for your Rubber Stamps

Author: Kathy Williams

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 – Fantastic stamp pads with names like Tropical Raspberry and Conch Shell are just a few of the great offerings by this fantastic stamp pad company. (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). Affordable reinkers can also be purchased at reasonable prices for existing stamp pads which gives you the convenience of being able to control how juicy or dry your stamp pads remain.

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 – These stamp pads are sure to brighten up all of your scrapbooking, cardmaking, and paper craft projects. These twenty-four colored ink pads pack brilliance and beauty in a small, attractive container shaped like a dew drop. Don’t plan on spending a fortune either, since I had no trouble locating their entire selection of stamp pads for 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!
