It’s no secret, I love stamping in my journals and love collecting a variety of ink pads to sprinkle color throughout my pages. In this video, I’m going to walk you through my collection of inks while I create swatch sheets. Swatching out your stamps onto the paper you use on a regular basis is helpful so you can get a true representation of how it will appear on your pages. I pull these out to help match up inks to stickers, markers, or anything else I’m adding to my journal pages.

The three main brands of inks I highlight here are:

The Stamp Market | bit.ly/45XNd90

Pinkfresh Studio | tidd.ly/3XxWFeI

Catherine Pooler | bit.ly/49V0zoW
(also available at Scrapbook.com)
Catherine Pooler Spa Collection | tidd.ly/4oMX5dl
Catherine Pooler Party Collection | tidd.ly/4oiRVot

Comment below if these are familiar inks for you - or if you’ve had success with other brands. I’m sure we’d all love to hear your favorite colors if you have any recommendations, too! Maybe some of the ones I share here are on your list?
