The best way to order retiring accessories is through my online store as they will sell out quickly!!

NOTE: You're going to see all of the ink pads on the retirement list. We will no longer be carrying the craft ink pads (other than in black and white) and the classic pads will be replaced with a new "firm foam pad" which will give you a better stamping experience.
