I read the post that Mama Cache listed...and it got me interested in the Cut n Dry stuff...
Add that to the fact that Webfoot listed a new invoice stamp a couple weeks ago and I just KNEW I had to order some Cut n Dry and some reinkers! LOL

Fast forward to this weekend...when I was madly trying to stamp 65 index cards for the "United States and Canada Postal"....times TWO...cuz I signed up for two...anyway...

My sig stamp (see my profile) is two colors...and up till this point...I had been coloring it with markers. The thought of coloring it 130 times...in a row...had me putting off this postal till last minute!! Thankfully...the amazing Webfoot sent the order just in time! I cut a piece of Cut n Dry the size of my sig stamp...colored my sig stamp with markers...and stamped the white Cut n Dry so I knew where to apply the colors. This new...multi-color stamp pad worked WONDERFULLY! The colors aren't as crisp as they are when I use markers...because the colors ran together a little and a couple times I didn't get the sig stamp lined up properly...so my flag stamp may be a teensy bit Picassoish! LOL The next time I make a custom stamp pad...I will put a little more space between the colors to allow for the seepage. But hey...I stamped 130+ (testing it) sig stamps and the custom ink pad is still going strong! I'm VERY impressed! Can't wait to try out some more! LOL (Of course...will have to buy more reinkers...only have blue and red currently!!)

Okay...that's my opinion! I may have forgotten to include something...feel free to contact me if you have any questions!
