Welcome to the NEW InkStampsPaper website!
After years and years on a traditional website platform I’ve decided to make a new digital home!
I think you’ll like how easy it will be to find what you are looking for, once it’s all up and running again! I’m excited because I’ll have access to new ways of sharing with you! Please hang with me a bit while I rock and roll through the bumps of making a big change like this. Thank you for your continued support!

Amy’s Top 10 List of Retiring Stamps
Since some of my all-time favorite stamp sets are retiring! I decided to create a “Top 10 List of Recommended Stamp Sets” from the retired list. My recommendation are below. Not that I’d tell you what to do, but if you don’t own at least the first two from the list – I think you NEED to buy them! 
I say these stamp sets are MUST HAVES:
1. Inspired by Nature (#111656) – This stamp set is ideal for so many techniques that I can’t even name them all. A few of my favorites with this set are: Faux Dry Embossing, Follow the Edge, Emboss Resist (actually, a ton of resist techniques), Marker-to-stamp, and the list goes on and on! Plus, the grass makes great masculine cards. Really, what I’m saying is you NEED this stamp set! 
Really, I’m usually pretty blasé about stamp sets retiring, because I’m always excited to make room for new stamps, but I am sad to see this one go!

2. Sincere Salutations (#115068) – The ideal greeting set. Not too plain, not too fancy. Good for feminine or masculine cards. Fits in several punches, and last but not least…it is forgiving when you stamp it a bit crooked. All that adds up to a MUST HAVE stamp set. I’m really sad to see this one go! Trust me, you want to own this stamp set before the end of May!
I say these stamp sets are Top Picks:
3. All In The Family (#113488) – I can’t even count the amazing cards, custom decor items, and more I’ve seen made with this family friendly stamp set and its coordinating sets (Family Accessories, Family Business & ). Fun to make custom gifts for your family and friends and fun for kids (or you) to color!
4. Autumn Days (#115452) – Great for those elusive masculine cards!
5. Awash With Flowers (#117062) – You just can’t go wrong with 2-Step stamps and this set is no exception. It is also a great set for watercoloring and some fast faux watercoloring techniques using the 2-Step stamps.
6. Baroque Motifs (#113490) – One of my all time favorites, and not just because I made hundreds of wedding invitations, RSVP cards, etc. for my sister’s wedding with it! This set makes great backgrounds and looks amazing heat embossed! This should probably be on the MUST HAVE list, but I was trying to keep the MUST’s to, well MUST’s! ha ha!
7. Dasher (#116816) – Well, how can you not love this stylish deer. I have the matching Decor Element in a frame that hangs in my dining room. I’m not too proud to admit that sometimes he hangs out there with us well into early spring! He doesn’t eat much so no one complains!
8. I {Heart} Hearts (#117010) – Yes, you did see that right. Even those of us that aren’t big into pink and frills still need a bit of love in our lives! This stamp set is great because the patterned hearts offer a ton of versatility from frilly to fun, and simple to sublime! You can even make great cards for your special guy with this set. I think you also need the coordinating I {Love} Love Jumbo Stampin’ Around Wheel to go with it. I use the wheel for backgrounds and for wheeling and cutting out the bit o’ love that I want to share. The “XOXOXO” is one of my favorites.
9. Loads of Love (#115022) – This long time favorite is lots of fun. Great for so many occasions and ideal for kids projects and masculine cards. Also, a big fan favorite for scrapbooking. Of course, it’s even better when you have the coordinating accessory sets! (Loads of Love Accessories, Loads of Fun, Time for a Tree an Tailgating Standard Wheels)
10. Medallion (#115223) – This background stamp makes a great background or focal point. It is ideal for a bunch of great techniques including Babywipe stamping and a slew of resist techniques. Plus, it is another favorite of mine for wedding and masculine cards.
These, and many other great stamp sets will be gone for good on May 31st! So don’t wait – order online today, contact me to host a workshop or place an order before these favorites are gone!
