Stampin' Up! New Ink Pads

The new ink pads are absolutely amazing!
I liked the old ink pads just fine, but knew we could always improve on things. 
For a couple of weeks now, I've been using the new ink pads and love, love, love them!

Here are the features I love:

• They provide better ink coverage.
• The light-tap stamping produces flawless images.
• They are juicer, which means they will have better ink pad longevity.
• They come with a label on the bottom (in English, Spanish, French and German) that you can peel off and use to label the end of your new stamp pad.
• They use the same flip-top case design that stores the inking surface upside down, so the pad stays moist.
• They are available in all our colors, including our exclusive In Colors.
• They are made with a firm foam instead of felt, so they will not become bowed in the middle over time.
• Because they are foam instead of felt, your pad won't develop frayed edges over time.
• The firm foam material is soft and easy to use to ink up your stamps.
• The ink is absorbed evenly into your card stock, so the image does not come out blotchy.
• It has an increased opacity and stamps solid images beautifully.
• I think it takes slightly longer to dry, but you can always use the low setting on our new heat tool to speed things up, if you're in a hurry.

FORGET EVERYTHING I EVER TOLD YOU ABOUT INKING UP YOUR STAMP:

• Forget the "twist, twist, twist / tap, tap, tap" and just lightly tap, tap, tap.
• Do still remember to stamp gently and not rock your stamp or press too hard, which will distort your image.
• I like to 'stamp off' on my grid paper before I clean my stamp on the Stampin' Scrub pad.  It keeps the pad clean longer. Less time cleaning the scrub pad means more time to stamp:)

Please note:
Five ink colors have undergone formula changes to improve functionality and color stability with our new firm foam pads.  Stampin' Up! does NOT recommend using the old reinkers in these 5 colors of the new firm foam pads.
These colors are:

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