Firm foam stamp pads

With the introduction of the 2012-2013 annual catalogue, Stampin' Up! have made a very big change to their Stampin' Pads. Introducing, the new firm foam pads! They change your stamping experience for the better. I've used the new firm foam stamp pads to create the card below. It is a breeze to stamp solid images now without doing the old smoosh and smash type thing...

I know you're going to love these new Stampin' Pads and here's some reasons why:

• Provide better ink coverage for your stamps!
• Light-tap stamping produces flawless images!
• Not to mention, they are only $9.95 a price decrease of $2 from the previous catalogue!

In addition, the new Stampin' Pads

• Create wonderfully solid images. The Firm Foam releases more ink onto your rubber stamp than the felt pads. When using the Firm Foam pad, your stamp will get an even, solid covering of ink that you may not have been able to achieve with the felt pads. Please note: if you are using the ink pad frequently you may need to re-ink your Firm Foam pad more often. Stampin' Up! recommends that you purchase a refill at the time of your ink pad purchase, at a cost of $4.95 how can you not?
• Have a crisply printed, glossy label on the top of the pad that is easier to read and that will not fade or chip off!
• Come with colour name labels in four languages (English, Spanish, French and German)--just choose your language, peel it off the back and add it to the side of the pad for easy identification! (see below)
• Use the same patented flip-top case design that stores the inking surface upside down, so the pad surface stays moist!
• Are available in all colours, including our exclusive In Colors!

Please note: Five ink colours have undergone formula changes to improve functionality and colour stability with the new firm foam pads. These colours are

• Basic Black
• Basic Gray
• Marina Mist
• Perfect Plum
• Tempting Turquoise

All five colours of the reformulated inks have been fully tested and approved. While using the new ink formula in the old Stampin' Pads is fine, we do not recommend using the old ink formula in the new firm foam pads in the five colours listed above. 

Ladies at my most recent workshop loved the new style and were wowed with the improvements. If you want to have a try using the new inkpads, contact me.
