Question Matching SU "in colors" with DSP...

Hi ladies!

I have 2 packs of the In Color cardstock plus some double stitched ribbon to use up. I've been trying to figure out which packs of DSP match the in colors by flipping back and forth in the catalog but I decided it might be easier to ask all of you, since I know a lot of you would know because you've used both together. Also, I don't have the in color ink pads so I am wondering if I should take the plunge and get them, too, even though they're going out in a few months. I just love things to match. What do you think?

Thanks in advance!
Amber

Afternoon Tea in the mini matches. In the main catty, Fall Flowers has Soft Sky in it. I'm sure there are more, but I'm moving this weekend, and my list is all packed up. The list is on here somewhere of all the colors in each pattern of DSP. If I can find it before someone else does, I'll post a link. HTH

I bought the re-inkers and made my own ink pads by washing out a $1 pads that I got from ACMoore. At $2.50 for each reinker and $1 for each pad, I felt it was a good investment so I will always have matching ink (since I hoard all my "in" colors!;))

That's what I did last year and this year.

Buy the reinkers, blank spots and make my own!

If I could find a blank in pad, that would be great. I don't have an AC Moore near me. I'm in Utah and haven't seen blank ink pads ANYWHERE! :( I'd do it if I knew I could get some that were in a hardshell case. I've read elsewhere where people have made their own pad and then store it in a ziploc bag. Not my idea of functional. Thanks for the ideas ladies!

Amber, I've purchased the uninked pads from http://www.welburngourdfarm.com. Check out their "ink dye applicator cubes". They are the same size as the SU Stampin' Spots, and you can order them in any quantity you want.

I didn't buy blank pads, I bought cheap colored pads (Michaels has them for $1.99 and sometimes you can find them at the dollar spot at Target or at a dollar store). {{Check the picture I posted a bit closer;)}}

Then I washed the cheapo ink out of the pad by running it under water until it ran clear, let it dry, then reinked it with the SU reinker and VOILA.. a matching pad with little expense and no shipping/handling fee.
