You need an ink swatch ring to see exactly how the colors really look next to each other!

What are Ink Swatches and Ink Swatch Books?
You may have heard the word "swatch" applied to fabric samples before when buying furniture or curtains. A more common word for a swatch might be test or sample. An ink swatch is a test patch of ink that is made to show what color it is.

Ink swatches can help your organization, your creativity, and may save you from disappointing surprises or unintended outcomes.

Here are just some of the benefits:
Inventory: The most basic reason to have an ink swatch is because it is a visual inventory of your inks. Just flip through your ink swatch ring to find out if you already have that ink pad instead of digging through your entire ink stash! Swatches can not only tell you what you have but also what you don’t have. They are a great way to help identify holes in your ink color palette or colors missing from a set. With ink swatches, you can tell at a glance if you already own any of the ink pads in the set before you click buy, saving you time and money!

Color Reference: Because it is made with a different ink, a printed package label may not be quite the same color as the color of the ink pad. An ink pad swatch is a reference for exactly what color the ink pad makes. Which is the better shade of ink to match that patterned paper? Pull out your swatches and compare!

Test combinations: Layering stamps are immensely popular, and the right color combination makes all the difference in how your finished project looks. Using ink swatch cards to test and record color combinations for your layer stamps takes the guesswork out of using them! Stampin' Up!© inks come in collections specifically designed to look cohesive and beautiful when layered.

I used one of the dies from the Stampin' Up!© Tailor Made Tag Die set to cut the shape.

I swiped the ink onto Basic White cardstock so you can see exactly how the ink looks stamped on Basic White cardstock.

Each set includes the 51 current ink colors with color name labels.

Please note that although this item contains samples of actual Stampin' Up!© cardstock, the finished item itself is not produced by Stampin' Up!©. Each finished ring is cut and labeled by me, by hand, and is only available for purchase through my online store(s).

These measure approx. 2" x 4".

Comes with a binder ring which will allows you to remove, rearrange, reinsert as needed and add updates later.
