I have noticed that images stamped with these new Firm Foam Stampin' Pads do not dry quite as fast as images stamped from my old felt/linen Stampin' Pads, so I try to work carefully. They do not take long to dry, it's just not quite as immediate as the old ink pads--probably because my old ink pads were chronically dry! But, one positive benefit of these inks not drying immediately is that you can EMBOSS with them, at least on paper or card stock. You'll want to have your embossing powder ready to go, and have a nice, moist ink pad, but it works beautifully. All you need is some clear embossing powder and a heat tool, and you will have 50 colors of embossed ink!

If you are considering upgrading all of your ink pads, please note that when you purchase them in assortments, there are considerable savings:

Brights (10 colors) - $59.50 purchased separately, $49.95 for Assortment
