Wow - the list is long! Much longer than I expected. But I say that every year!
*****Many retiring items are on sale from 25 - 60% off!
Be assured that even though you'll see all of our Classic ink pads on the list they are not changing the colors. The new Classic ink pads will have a firm foam pad that will be an improvement and will provide better ink coverage when stamping, and longer life for our ink pads. **See more details below on this change.

New Classic Ink pads:
We know you're going to love these new Stampin' Pads-just look at all the exciting benefits listed below:
- Provide better ink coverage for your stamps!
- Light-tap stamping produces flawless images!
- Pad stays juicier for longer resulting in better ink pad longevity!
- The pad stays flat and will not become bowed or wavy.
In addition, our new Stampin' Pads
- Have a crisply printed, glossy label on the top of the pad that is easier to read and that will not fade or chip off!
- Come with color name labels in all four languages (English, Spanish, French, and German)-just choose your language, peel it off the back, and add it to the side of the pad for easy identification!
- Use the same patented flip-top case design that stores the inking surface upside down, so the pad surface stays moist!
- Are available in all colors, including our exclusive In Colors!
Please note: Five ink colors have undergone formula changes to improve functionality and color stability with the new firm foam pads. These colors are
- Basic Black
- Basic Gray
- Marina Mist
- Perfect Plum
- Tempting Turquoise
If you plan to keep your current 'felt' pads and you do not own the ink refills for the 5 above, you should order them now. Any refills purchased after April 30, 2012, will contain the new formulated ink.
