Dare 2B Artzy Hybrid Stamp Pad- review and demo

June 28, 2017

Dare 2b Artzy Stamp Pad Review and Demo

As crafters, we are always on the hunt for the perfect black stamp pad- one that is truly black; creates a crisp image; doesn’t disappear with our watercolors AND doesn’t smudge or bleed with our Copic/alcohol markers. Since my epic “best black stamp pad for coloring” review years ago (!), I pretty much was content with my Memento Tuxedo Black or My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink.

But back in April when I was at Adventures in Stamping in Ohio, I ran into the owner of Dare 2B Artzy and she insisted I try out their TOTALLY BLACK. Stamp pad. I’ve been using it for over a month now, and I want to share my findings with you!

Disclosure: samples provided for review purposes only. My opinions are honest and my own, and based on first-hand experience with the product. Some links contained in the post are affiliate links. 

 

Now let’s review the high points:

  • Stays permanent with water based markers, pencils, and paints.
  • Stays permanent with alcohol-based markers!
  • Dries on vellum.
  • Stamps crisply on fabric/ribbon (I have not check for washability.)
  • NOT juicy enough for embossing.

tag; mixed media; every moment counts; clockface

 

The only “ding” I have is the lid- it is consistently hard to remove when I’m working. I get that it makes the seal airtight and the ink juicy- but frankly the lid is a pain. But I’m willig to deal with it if I get this awesome dark black ink! I’m now on the hunt for a reinker!
