Best Scrapbooking Ink Pads of 2025

“I really love the kit! However, many of the lids were off of the ink pads. They need to be secured better.”

“I purchased this ink pad kit because it had a variety of colors and everything included in one pack. Unfortunately, the ink pads were dry and quite small. The blotters and pads are good quality, though.”

“The blending tool is effective as long as you use a circular motion and start off the page. However, most of my ink was almost dried out, so I would never buy this again.”

"I had been avoiding distressing inks because I wasn't sure how often I'd use them or if they were worth the cost. However, I was pleasantly surprised by this set! The quick drying and great color options meet most of my needs. They layer well and clean up easily. I give it a 10 out of 10 and would definitely buy again!"

“I’m really pleased with my inks! I’ve tested many brands, and these are the best and most affordable I’ve found. The colors are bold and vibrant. My only complaint is the lack of green shades. They’re small and perfect for dabbing ink rather than dipping stamps. After using them for two weeks, they’ve remained juicy and smooth, with no smudging. I’m definitely buying another set before prices go up!”

“I appreciate the variety in this set. It’s a great way to explore new color schemes without committing to larger quantities. They’re definitely more affordable than standard ink containers, especially if you’re unsure about the shades. I bought them for a crafty friend, and I’m sure she’ll have a blast experimenting with the colors!”

“I’ve only used the brown ink so far, and it has plenty of liquid. The caps close securely, keeping the ink moist. We found that they wash off easily; I used rubbing alcohol to clean my fingers after making thumbprint designs. Next time, I’ll use a cleansing wipe for quicker results.”

"I use this ink with my rubber stamp for marking all my library books. It produces crisp prints and does not bleed, plus it's archival quality, so I feel safe using it in my books."

Highly recommend for both quality and usability!”

“I work in veterinary medicine, and creating paw prints for pet owners is important. I was tired of the plain black and decided to order these. I’m thrilled with the vibrant colors; they easily apply to paw pads and transfer beautifully to paper. The silver is a favorite, and I plan to use it on black paper for better visibility. Overall, I’m very satisfied and will purchase again.”

“Great value! My kids loved all the colors and found them easy to use. The quality is impressive, although I’d recommend wearing an apron or old clothes since they can stain. Overall, a hit with the kids!”

"I absolutely love my Distress Ink; it's a good quality ink pad that lasts a long time and has a great color."

"I find this ink perfect for creating faux vintage images and antique letters. When combined with Ranger Vintage Photo Distress Inks and wax sealing kits, the possibilities are endless for all occasions!"

“I got these to create handprints with my son. They turned out to be larger than I expected, and after four months of use, they show no signs of drying out.”

“While a bit flimsy, I’m pleased with how they work! After using them several times, I’ve noticed the vibrant colors are perfect for preschool hands. Although the ink pad is thin, I found that spraying it with water helps, and I covered them with plastic wrap to prevent drying.”

“I bought these for my wife who loves making cards, and she absolutely loves them! The cards look fantastic, and she’s really happy!”
