Inkpad

Our stamp pad collection includes pigment inks, quick-dry dye ink and shimmer tones – all made to give smooth, clean impressions on a variety of paper types. You can filter by colour, price or stock to find the perfect pad for your needs.

Crafter’s Companion Ink Pads – Styles That Work

Different crafts call for different applications, which is why our ink pads are designed to work across all your favourite papercraft projects. We stock a wide range of dye-based pads, shimmer inks and pigment stamp pads, giving you the flexibility to stamp, blend, emboss or layer.

Whether you're using stamps for quick patterns or detailed artwork, these pads offer clean prints without smudging. They're great for everything from quick designs to professional layouts – with ink that stays sharp on card, paper and even plastic surfaces.

Sharp Prints Without the Fuss

No one wants uneven results. Our inkpad formulas give full coverage across your stamps, even with detailed designs. The ink spreads evenly and dries fast, which helps avoid mess and smudging while making your prints look sharp and clear.

Each pad is made to deliver high-opacity colours that won’t fade easily. You can count on them to give reliable results on single-layer cards or more complex layered papercraft projects.

Created by Crafters Who Know the Tools

At Crafter’s Companion, we don’t just sell stamp pads – we use them too. Our team of crafters tests each inkpad for quality, colour payoff, and ease of use. That means every product in our range is chosen for its performance on real projects.

If you’re building a collection or just need a reliable ink pad for regular use, we have options to suit all styles and stamping techniques. From subtle blending to bold shapes, these pads are made to help you achieve the results you want.

Ink Pads That Do the Job – and Last

Our ink pads don’t just look good – they’re made to last. Non-toxic, long-wearing and designed for frequent use, each pad is stackable for storage and simple to clean after stamping. They’re great for both beginners and experienced crafters alike.

Some of our pads, such as the Crafter’s Companion Duet Inkpad – Awakening Forest, include multi-tone effects, allowing for smooth blends and water-based techniques. They're perfect for layered looks without switching pads.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use instead of an inkpad?
If you don’t have a proper ink pad, you can try using water-based pens, paint or a homemade felt pad with ink. Still, for clean, repeatable prints, our Crafter’s Companion ink pads give the best results.

What is an inkpad used for?
Ink pads are used to apply ink to stamps, allowing you to make clear prints on card, paper, fabric or plastic. They’re essential for making cards, labels, and other papercraft projects.

Are ink pads good for crafting?
Yes. Crafter’s Companion ink pads are made for crafters who need reliable performance, strong colours and a smooth stamping experience.

What is an ink pad in a printer?
In a printer, an ink pad is a sponge-like piece that collects extra ink during printing or cleaning. It’s completely different from the stamp pads used in crafting.
