Grandma's Rocking Chair question - I am a new stamper Should
I buy ink pads or Markers?
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.
