Good Morning and welcome to another Quick Tip Tuesday.
How many times have you gone to a stamp or scrapbook store and found stamp pads on sale. Of course, you can't remember what colors you already have. This happens to me all the time. I know you could just carry a list, but taking the idea from my Copic Colors wallet, I made a ink-color mini book. Not only do I have the brands and color names, but also color samples which I find very useful. I was in a stamp store on Saturday and pulled out my booklet to check colors I already had. The owner came over to see it and thought it was pretty darn clever.
As you can see, it's not fancy, but it sure comes in handy. I have sections for dye inks, distress inks, chalk inks, and pigment inks. I added extra pages to each section for new colors. I use a Q-tip to dab on the color. The pages are 4 x 6 bound together with my Your Story.
Until next time-
Hugs and Happy Crafting,
Larelyn

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea! I have the Copic chart readily available, but not my ink pads! Thank you for this tip!
