New Stampin Up Ink Pads
With our newest Stampin Up catalog release are new Stampin Up ink pads. I have been asked by many hesitant customers what I think of them – and what make them different.
I thought it was best to show you rather than just tell ya!
Here is a quick video showing you some tips and features that go along with the new Stampin Up ink pads:
So quick recap:
- You open like a makeup compact. No more pushing first, just lift. Be sure to “click” it all the way when you close them.
- You can stack them up 🙂
- The surface area is just slightly smaller. It hasn't made a difference for me at all.
- You can still label the ends, and use the extra labels for the inside of your stamp pad, as well as other accessories you use with inks.
- You can still squeeze your case to get ink into your lid for watercoloring. Just flip your pad upside down then squeeze to get better results.
All of the ink pads in the new catalog are now in this style, even colors we had before.
They are still my favorite ink pads on the market. They are still the same firm foam pad, which means for your bold image stamps, you will get great coverage without seeing any of the lines that the woven tops that many companies still use.
It is still a hybrid type of ink. So still a fast drying ink, but not as fast as it used to be. This is awesome because then you can heat emboss if you want without having to have several ink types (like our old craft ink pads) yet the ink still dries in a pretty fast amount of time.
So all the features we love are still there.
My local stamp club members got to play with them this past weekend, and they loved how easy they are to open compared to the previous model of ink pads.

I haven’t tried the new ink pads yet but plan to soon. As long as they are easy to open (and it sounds like they are), I’ll be happy!
Hi, I enjoyed your video. Where do I find your ink pads and other accessories? Is ita catalog purchase or do they have them in craft stores?
Hi Margarite! They are all catalog items. You can find them here: https://iteachstamping.com/ordersu
Hello,
I’m wondering if you can use these inks on fabric? Thank you for any help!
Hi Lori! Tell me more of what type of projects you are wanting to do, and if you will be washing them.
what kind of foam is used on the inside. I have the OLD OLD OLD ones.
I honestly don’t know the type of foam, sorry! The old ones were woven linen.
Can you heat emboss with the “regular” stamp pads? I thought you needed to use versamark or similar to heat emboss.
I can’t tell you about every ink pad, but you can heat emboss with regular Stampin’ Up! ink pads as they are not instant drying, so you can add powder and heat set with them.
