Are you new to Stampin’ Up! ink pads, or would you like to find out other ways to use your large ink pads. Over the years that I have been creating cards and items, I've fallen in love with the Stampin’ Up! inks and colours. If you're looking for high quality ink pads with gorgeous colour options (bonus being that they co-ordinate with the paper, pens and embellishments), these ink pads are for you. All the cards on this page were made using different techniques and the large Stampin’ Up! ink pads. There are a number of ways that they can be used.

There are different ways you can use large ink pads. These are a few:

Stamping- using the ink pad to ink up stamps, large ink pads make it super easy to ink up large backgroun stamps.

Stamping with blocks - either with or without water (look out for a future video on ways to use blocks for stamping.

Stamping with other items - geli plates or other items such as Stampin’ Marker lids or the end of pencils.

Creating you own embossing colours - using Versa mark and the ink pad with embossing powder to create you own coloured embossing (stamp in the Versa Mark first then add the ink, this prevents adding colour to the Versa mark pad.)

Adding colour- their are a number of ways to add colour to your cards, using Wink of Stella, Water Pens or blender pens.

The video below shows the different ways I use the ink pads and the cards I have made.

Look out over the next few weeks for more in-depth videos on how to use your ink pads. I am super excited about sharing different ways to stamp with blocks, it is one of my favourite techniques, what is yours?
