Complete Ink Swatch Book Downloads

04.08.14

UPDATE: I have a new downloads page that includes all the updated Ink Swatch downloads for 2021!  Check it out HERE.

A few weeks ago I shared a video showing my Ink Swatch Book, along with many free ink swatch downloads. Today I am sharing my final batch of downloads, along with an editable file if you want to create your own.

In case you missed it – here the video I shared a few weeks ago that explains how I organize my ink swatches. I am still very much loving and very much USING this book.


I use coin pages to hold my 2” x 2” ink swatches and hold the pages together with ring clips. The Simon Says Stamp Swatch Stamp works perfectly for getting a nice ink sample on each square. (However, you can use any stamp you may have.) This makes for a very convenient ink organization system. I love it! I plan to also add my cardstock swatches to the book.

We have created many free downloadable ink swatch pages for many popular ink lines. At the end of the list are two editable files – one for Photoshop and one for Microsoft Word. Between these files, you should have everything you need to get organized. All you have to do is download the files (click DOWNLOAD for each) and print on your favorite white cardstock. (I printed mine on Neenah since that is what I use most.) Some inks have more than one page since there are so many colors.

UPDATED ON 4/24/17. MORE UPDATES COMING

EDITABLE VERSIONS:

  • Photoshop Editable Ink DOWNLOAD – For those with Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, you should be able to create your own swatches with this file.
  • WORD Editable Ink DOWNLOAD – For those with Microsoft Word, you should be able to create your own swatches with this document. It may not keep the margins correct for everyone, but should for most! We do have a few tips for you: If you accidentally move a text box, immediately hit ctrl + z to undo. If you choose to use a different font or size, you might need to move the text boxes to align them properly by selecting them and then using the arrow keys to move the boxes. The text should fit in the boxes and it is best not to resize the boxes to be any wider otherwise the document will not print properly.

I feel so relieved to have a system that works for me. I hope it works for you, too! Many people have been sharing their swatch books using my downloads. If you have, please share your pictures below.

I must give out a big shout to Karen Kelly who developed many of the additional ink company swatches shared here. She is so very awesome for doing this. And don’t worry… I am spoiling her with many stamping treats in return. 🙂 If you see any boo-boos, please leave them in the comments below. I will get them fixed and update this page afterwards.

Enjoy!

WINNERS

Some winners: Beatrice Lawson gets the Altenew stamp… Jennifer Harrison won the Hero Arts stamps… and Barbara Lassiter will soon get the Mini Ink Blending Tools!

    Thank you so much for the Word editable download. I use Catherine Pooler inks and used her swatch download but didn’t cut them apart. I think your system will work better for me. I have not printed them yet but plan to later today and will stamp them tomorrow. Thanks again for doing a big part of the work for me.

    Wood household furniture has one thing quite natural regarding it.
    There is this feeling of heat, of nature and of style that may be be located in wood furniture.
    Hardwood is actually birthed from the planet.

    After watching this video at least 4 times I finally paid close attention and noticed in the cover photo that you store your swatches by color. This totally solves my problem of whether to store the ink pads/cubes by brand or color. I know many of us have said this many times but you are brilliant. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us.

    Hi Jennifer,
    thank you for providing these ink swatch sheets! Unfortanetly I could`nt find a download for the Pinkfresh Studio Premium Dye Inks. Could you – maybe – add it to the list above, that would be very helpful to me 🙂
    Thank you for your inspiration! It is always a joy to discover new ideas from you…
    Kindest greetings from Germany,

    Thank you for your Distress Oxide Swatch download. I started your swatch chart several years ago and recently purchased more
    distress oxides of the new colors. Bingo, you had the colors I had purchased. I cut from your swatches and my color charts are now
    up to date ready for my Cardstock Online Classes. Can’t wait!!
    Thank you again.

    Thank you for the swatch downloads and for the Word template with which one can make more as new colors are released. I didn’t find an updated one for Oxides so I used your template. Would you like me to send them to you? I’ve printed and cut it and put these 21 swatches with my others. The font is slightly different, perhaps because of using a Mac, but perhaps you can change it or post it as is, if you like. As time allows I’ll do the same for Distress Inks. Would you like those?

    Thank you so much for the ink swatches! I really appreciate it! Since I’ve been doing the SCT Delivered Cardmaking events, my ink pads have grown so much, and I’ve been putting this off. I’m slowly going through each company, and for Lawn Fawn, I just wanted to let you know that you’re missing Clover and Rainforest. Thanks for everything!

    I so appreciate the work you’ve put into these swatch templates. Is there any way to get the PSD file for the Photoshop Editable Ink DOWNLOAD? It’s currently a PDF and while a PDF can be used, it would be easier with the PSD. Thank you so much in advance!

    I watched your video and you said there was a free download for Lisa Horton Inks which I did not see on your list. How do I get that?
    Also, is there a download for Tim Holtz Distress Inks? It said it was no longer available, but was listed.
