The Paw Print Stamp Pad allows you to make an ink imprint of your pet's paw print - without the mess! The kit comes with a mess-free ink pad and two sheets of matte paper, in case you don't get a good print with the first try. The kit is very easy to use, just lay the ink pad (red sticker side down) on top of the sheet of matte paper. Take your pet's paw and press against the top side of the ink pad, and that's it! The hard part may be in getting your pet to cooperate. We found our pet's were more willing if they knew a treat was coming afterward. It is suggested you do a trial run and go through the motions before using the ink pad to get a feel on how your pet will react. Many people find it easier to have their pet in a standing position and move the ink pad and matte paper under their foot. If you make the first attempt and your pet moves their foot during the process, don't worry. The kit comes with an extra matte paper so you can give it another try. The best part is with the ink pad on the bottom, you don't have to worry about getting ink on your pet or floors. It is truly - No Mess! If you have multiple pets or just want to make sure you get a good print, you can also save money by taking advantage of the discounts applied when purchasing in quantity with a pack of 2 or a pack of 3. The prints can be used in any way your creativity takes you. You can frame them, add them to a shadow box, insert in a photo frame on an urn, use in a scrapbook or anywhere else you want to add that personal touch to honor your pet. We also offer the option of transferring the paw print image to an engraved plexibrass plate. Plexibrass is two layers of a flexible plastic type material, which resemble brass. This is ideal if you want to transfer the paw print image onto a more durable, long-lasting surface. The plexi-plate will not tarnish, tear or fade and is waterproof. We have four different styles to choose from, or if you need something a bit different, you can just email us and we will try to work with you to get the plate the way you want it.
