Do you know how to re-ink an ink-pad?

Sometimes we use a favorite ink pad so much that we need to add some ink back into it.  I noticed that my Coastal Cabana ink has been looking a little on the light side.  It’s one of my fave fave favorites (as my 6 year old niece would say).  Rather than just ink it and be on my way, I thought I would take some photos on how I re-ink it and share it with you.  All you need is your ink pad, a matching re-inker (only $2.95 from Stampin’ Up! – a complete bargain) and an old gift or credit card.
