Inkpad Cases as Stamps--a chat
Looser:
Although this is not a new technique for me, I thot it might be worth passing along &/or discussing.
Many of us have a variety of pads--full size, midis, cat's eye, cubes, wedges, dew drops, etc. Most are plastic & the lids & bottoms make terrific stamps in their own right.
I've found that my 'pad stamps' work with all my different inks & that I can use them to build frames, flowers & much more. And since I always have lots of pads on my table, I always have some stamps on hand.
So how about you? Have you used your inkpad as the stamp?
SWLady:
Not on purpose! LOL
Yankee:
Yes I have. I used some small ink pads as background for the inches I made for a swap. Or it might have been the twinches swap. It was last year.
yellowcherrios:
Good idea Yankee! I have some dried out inchie ink pads that are those cheapie kind sold in some kits (real thin foam/felt---though a few did last several years surprisingly)---- I've saved them incase I ever wanted a case for making my own ink pads , but the way you used them, Yankee, gives me the idea to use them as stamps! Now to fins were a "saved" them….. :-\
I do not recall ever using an ink pad as a stamp Daniel. But I can see how the petal ones might make nice flowers.

And when one gets bored making frames with the outside case, stamping with the pad direct to paper (DTP) is always interesting too.
