Well today is a great day in my life. I have been married to my loving husband for 25 years. I somehow thought I would be in Hawaii for my 25th Anniversary but I guess things sometimes are not what you think they will be. I had always thought if I ever got to 25 years that we would have a big party with family and friends and then head to Hawaii. Well today Don worked until 6 and then we headed to Olive Garden for dinner. Back in the house at 7:30 and Don went to bed by 9. Here I sit doing my blog and other stamping things. Things aren't what I thought but just as good.
That just about says it for the question also. You have two great options for ink and they are just as good. A little different but still as good.
The Stamp Pad
Use for - Stamping, sponging, direct to paper background, water coloring, and many other techniques.
Pros - Great for stamping, quick way to ink up stamps, consistent color, great coverage, can refill with out any problems.
Cons - expensive compared to markers, hard to get more than one color on a stamp, tricky to open and close.
The Stampin' Write Markers
Use for - Stamping, applying more than one color to a stamp, splatter background, writing on the card. Highlighting, running edge of cardstock many other techniques.
Pros - Great for stamping when you want to use more than one color on a stamp, Cheaper than a stamp pad so you can get more colors, Smaller so storage is easier.
Cons - hard to refill, I am prone to lose them if I don't keep them in their box, takes a little more time to ink up a stamp.
The Flowers on this one were done with Markers and the saying and oval with a pad.
So what would I get if I were starting out again. I think I would get the markers. For a new stamper they have more versatility than the pads and since they are less expensive you can get more of the colors. I would say buy at least one color family and the Markers you use the most then buy them in pads. Some I do not use very much and getting pads are not really cost effective if I have the marker.
I hope this helped. If you have any stamping or paper crafting questions please leave a comment or e-mail me at marysstamping at gmail.com.
