Stamp Pads - Where To Find The Best Colors

Shortly after beginning stamping, I realized finding great stamp pads, in attractive, matching colors, was not as easy as it looked. Imagine my disappointment when looking through the online galleries to see all of the wonderful colors that other stampers were enjoying, when I was stuck with a drab selection of primary colors. While it wasn't too hard finding stamp pads in metallics and chalk, attractive dye and pigment based stamp pads turned out to be harder to find...until I located these companies:

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 now offers a new line of scented stamp pads. As the name would imply, these stamp pads have the special benefit of leaving their designs with the fresh aroma of their name. I loved Hot Cocoa, Pumpkin Pie, and Sugar Plum which make Christmas cards that not only look fantastic, but have a wonderful, 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.

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.
