I am looking for small unfilled ink pads. I want to use Stampin up reinkers to fill and use to stamp with the MISTI. I think this will help with the mess of ink getting on the MISTI foundation. I like some of the other brands of small ink pads but being a demonstrator I really need to use Stampin Up colors and ink.
I bought my "blank" stamping spots from the same place, and use them for Stampin Up inks. They are great! So nice and portable, and easy to ink the stamp without getting a mess everywhere.
What do they charge for shipping. I couldn't find it on the site.
Thanks, Karen
I purchased these uninked stamping spots a few years ago...'just checked my PayPal history, and I paid $5.00 for shipping for a couple dozen ink pads. I think there's a toll-free number listed on this site...I'd just call and ask about their shipping charges. (If you only need a couple ink pads, check with some of your stamping friends, and maybe they'd like some too.)

Thanks. That's not bad. I need to take an inventory and see how many I need.

I know years ago I purchased some Stampin' Spots from SU! that were identical to these. I know that SU! does not sell these any longer but do they sell them to their SU! demos? I was a demo once and I know that you could purchase the little stamps in sets if you wanted to give one to customers with their orders or as thank you's. Can any demos confirm this? Otherwise thank you for the link ladies, I think I may be off to make a purchase😉
It seems that the cubes sell for $$1.89 or 1.90 at all the links provided to date. One person paid shipping of $5 for "a couple of dozen" and one place charges $8 for 36 cubes.
Frantic Stamper calculates shipping at checkout so that info is not available (and could vary by destination). I'd be very surprised if it was not comparable to the $5/$8 from the other sources.
And the site has so !any more wonderful items! My wish list will need to be narrowed down or it will overwhelm my DH when he gets it for my birthday this summer!

No, even as demos we can't purchase Stampin' spots anymore.
Look for old spots on sale and grab them up! I make my own by running water over the spot to get the majority of the ink out then soak them in a dish-tub. Re-soak, re-rinse as needed. If the ink is dark and leaves color behind, use a little bleach in the last soak.Dry completely before re-inking with whatever color you want. I've used discontinued ones with a similar color on the label to make new ones - like Banana into Daffodil.

Brilliant! This would also work if you bought cheap ones (like Studio G or kids' sets) and flushed them out. Great idea!
stuff4crafts has un-inked cats eye stamp pads for $1.31 each, shipping under $5.00. Here's the link. They ship quickly, and I've ordered from them many. They also have an Amazon store, but there's no prime shipping. stuff4crafts "un- inked stamp pads" link
Sue, I'm intrigued by what you did... How did they turn out?
They turned out great! I have ALL of the Stampin'Up! colors (including some retired) in three of the pencil-sized Really Useful Boxes (two layers deep - I made removable trays out of mat board). I just bought some more Cut 'n Dry Foam so I can make spots for the new InColors, as a matter of fact!
I was mulling this whole thing over yesterday because the bead organizer boxes that I used may not be accessible for everyone and I was contemplating alternatives. In my mind, I think that pretty much any small container with a lid would work. The trick is to put the foam on the LID, as opposed to in the container, so it's exposed for stamping/swiping...
THESE would work, and they're $3.74 for 12. Shipping would be extra, of course, and you'd have to find a container to corral the "spots" in, but still a decent price point. Even better (if you need more), are THESE - $17.99 for 50, and free shipping!
It doesn't necessarily have to be a square container, either. I think that THIS would work just fine - you'd just have to figure out an efficient way to cut circles out of the foam. $8.89 for 24 containers is reasonable enough...
My point is that you can make quite a few things work if you think outside of the box (no pun intended, lol)!
Amazon has the Darice Jewelry Designer for $9.76 if you have Amazon Prime. To find it I typed in Darice Bead Organizer Carrying Case and had success that way.
Thanks for the link, pira-tess (cute name). I know the case that I used to get my boxes is available various places, but I wanted to offer alternatives for a couple of reasons. Some (like those in countries other than US) may not be able to find them anywhere that isn't cost prohibitive, and there are only 16 of the smallest boxes in that case. The others are 3/4" larger, and that may too large. I had five cases, so I had 80 of the small boxes at my disposal...
