A couple of hours later, and I've trimmed the stamps, tried the ink, embossed with the folder and punched out the border punch.
So first off - the stamps, and when I got them out of the packet and turned them over, I realised I'd have been trimming them down regardless.
I really hate stamps that have so much excess rubber! 10 minutes with the non-stick scissors, and they are sorted.
They are both Papermania Urban stamps, simply called Butterflies and Dragonflies.
Next the embossing folder, and the one on the left I swiped with a Tea Dye Distress inkpad so you could see the detail better.The one on the right is for my samples folder, when I remember to look in it.
Its called Chronology Clocks, by the way.
I liked the border punch, as it has a nice lacy pattern- punches through copy weight paper with ease too.
The packaging said its called Sparkler.
Lastly, the white inkpad. Doesn't stamp a detailed image too badly, and almost has a chalk effect on black card.Definitely not as strong a white as the last two I tested though.
Then I added WOW Bright White EP to one and heat set it. Have to admit, that doesn't look too bad.So not a bad white inkpad- I've got worse- but not the best either. I do think the unembossed one went paler as it dried too.
