The new design case for the Stampin’ Up! Classic Ink Pads is innovative and a long time coming.  Have you ordered any new stamp pads from the new catalog?  If you have, I hope you have found the new design as impressive as I have.  I think they are a bit easier to open as they have less steps.  They will have a bit of a tighter fit at first.  This will loosen a bit with use.  New things always take a bit of breaking them in.  Have you also noticed the larger color swatch on the case?  If you have not purchased the new design stamp pads yet, please take a look below.  Cheryl and John from Stampin’ Up! Product Development have a video below to give you a look at these new stamp pads and help with some tips and tricks. 

New Design Case in Action

Also, I love that it’s still very easy to use the lid for watercolor techniques.  Because of the bolder look, the colors are so easy to identify.  Another great feature are the stickers.  They give you options as well which is great because not everyone stores or handles their stamp cases the same way. Lastly, how great is it that they are stackable now?  Stacking the cases is a benefit I know I am going to enjoy.  After I pull out all my supplies to work with, it will be great to have my pads stackable and neat in my crafting space.  

I know it will help some of you to see how they open and close.  I’m a pretty visual person and enjoy videos like this.  I remember when we moved away from the basic open and close stamp pads years ago.  As with anything new, it did take a little getting used to.  This time will be no different, so join me in embracing the new design case.
