Ink and inkpads are mainly used for all rubber stamping and scrap booking purposes. Now you can create different techniques just by knowing what type of ink and inkpads work best for you! Use this guide to help you decide what type you should use best with your type of projects…
When I first started I used basic colors. I suggest for beginners, you might just like to use the following colors also: - Black
- White
- Green

- And Blue
Below are 6 types of ink I am familiar with using…
Versa Color Ultimate Pigment Ink is a great cheap choice. It works really well and I like to use it for many of my creative cards. Studio G Acid Free Pigment Ink can always be found on sale. I bought these for a $1 and it works great with little design stamps. When times are hard this is the way to go for the cheapest inkpads Versa Mark Watermark Stamp pad is a must own. I use this type of inkpad for all of my rubber stamping creations. With it you can create very cool looking watermarks on both cards and envelopes. Brilliance Pigment Inkpad creates a unique look of stamped images. I hardly use this type of ink. But are often used by many card lovers. Stazon Inkpads are solvent inkpads and will definitely stain the rubber. It can be used for any surface like stamping on plastic.
Tip: Use baby wipes to clean all your stamps.
You might also like Memories Acid Free Dye Ink pads. This type of ink pad is made especially for Hero Arts Shadow Stamps. I like to use soft vanilla and soft leaf. I don’t recommend the use for gold and silver because the finished look, intend to be awful. You can decide!
I hope you find this guide helpful for all your creative projects.
