American Crafts Studio Blog: Ink Pads Week

Welcome to another wonderful week here on the AC Studio Blog! This week we're featuring my favorite new product from American Crafts.

Pigment ink pads bring projects to life and are available in 29 brilliant colors. The pad is attached to the case’s lid, drawing the ink to the surface of the pad – right where it’s needed for best stamp performance. Ink pads are packaged in transparent, stackable cases and contain the highest quality ink, making them easy to use and easy to store.

Check out this awesome project from Design Team member Kim A. using the new ink pads...

Supplies: 12x12 White Damask (71158) – Specialty Paper, Snapdragon Soiree (35103) – Dear Lizzy Spring, Puddle Play (35083) - Lizzy Spring, Taffy (59522) – Pigment Ink, Cordial Phrases (42666) – Remarks: Sheets, Letterbox Mini (85495) – Elements

Kim says: "I have made the background to the thankyou sticker and the cover for the lid by rubbing the ink pad over the embossed cardstock, then die cutting the shape and then inking the edges of the die cut shapes. The embossed cardstock has the most beautiful design and by rubbing the ink pad across it, it highlights the design. I have covered the container in fabric paper from the Dear Lizzy Spring range, so I needed to attach the label to the front using fabric glue. I then placed the sticker over the top and to ensure that it did not come off, I attached a decorative brad at each end of the sticker right through the container. I have made rolled paper roses for the top of the container. Once I had formed the roses, I lightly inked the petals to tie the pink on the embossed cardstock to the flowers, before finishing them with glitter."

I love the creative use of ink! Have you tried the new ink pads yet? Let us know what you think!
