Thank you so, so much for creating this video! I was just shopping around for a white ink pad and it's overwhelming trying to choose the right one. You have made this task so much easier. Thanks again.

[@karentalbot4372]

Love love this segment. Thank you!! Love your new room too!! Happy to see you settled in and happy.

[@dalkness]

This was such a well done comparison video :) I'm new to stamps, and this was a nice way to see different ink brands :) thank you for doing this!

[@kimleon-guerrero9980]

Thank you, I appreciate all the you do to keep us informed. This was very helpful.

[@raeraesma]

Thank you Jenny! I always appreciate your product reviews. Take care, Kim :)

[@2848Adriana]

Hi Jenny, Thank you for this demo, it is nice to see the comparison, TFS, Cheers Anna

[@lillianmartinez1593]

Excellent demonstration! Love your videos! Learn so much!!

[@Sooz3112]

Thank you, very helpful and you’ve saved me a lot of money experimenting/testing. Thanks x

[@milyra158]

Thank you for this comparison. I'm in need if a good white ink and this really helped.

[@nicolescholet691]

Very interesting results, thanks for the comparison!

[@charsbabushka]

Thank you very much. This was extreamly helpful!

[@elizabethnovak4951]

I was just about to purchase one of the pads that did not pass your test. Scratched that off my list! Thank you for putting all of these to the test for us.

[@ladyj.crafty2016]

Great video. Tfs. I'll definitely keep that in mind when I go shopping next time.

[@stampaliciousnl]

It's good to see a comparison of these all at once. The Close to my Heart white pigment ink (they actually have a true white and an off white) are pretty good too. In fact, I often reach for that one before I reach for my Hero Arts lol. Thanks for showing these!

[@Fit_Kitty]

What a wonderful comparison! Thank you! I've not been happy with my Hero Arts pigment ink so I'll be checking out the Avery Elle - thanks so much!

[@amkarei]

Question: Please...New crafter here...what is it about the Hero Arts Pigment ink that you are dissatisfied with? I've been thru 5 White Ink Comp videos, and, if I read my notes correctly, Hero Arts' Hero Hues Pigment "Unicorn" was consistently in the top 3 of those tried (Oh, F.Y.I...again, relying on my notes... regarding the 'Crafting for Almost Everyone' comparison of 1/18/18, it seems GINA K PAPER actually helped ALL of the EIGHT White Inks she tested.) This in advance for your input.

[@paulage1art]

Nice and timely for making snowy stamped Christmas cards! Thanks ! Paula in Florida

[@jeanbullock3076]

This was good to know. I have a friend who is a stampin up rep, so I can get it from her. thanks so much.

[@kimberleyjohnson6645]

Thanks Jenny, this is so helpful! I have never found the perfect white ink. I will have to get n touch with a local SU rep.

[@nancyacura1]

Awesome comparison!!

[@sweetboo1022]

just wanted to thank you for the comparisons. I know that was not a cheap video to make & was bummed for you that you had a majority of bumpers. I'm hoping some of them would do better if they got stamped a 2nd or 3rd time. I love Avery Elle products so I'm getting that one & I've got the silver & gold delicata pads so I'm happy to get that one for the shimmer. thanks again!

[@doloresneilson5349]

thank you very much for your time! Helpful!

[@jeanieferretti4203]

Wow I never knew there was so many whites out there! You didn't even mention the ones I have and I think I purchased them at Michaels. Thanks for the great comparison!

[@lovingmyselfwell4569]

Really great information thanks! Listen I'm having a bit of a struggle deciphering which is best on the market for embossing and by that I mean which ink pad brand and which powders? I trust your discretion / advice! I have a Darice heat tool. Some of the embossing ink pads that I purchased years and years ago or drying up so I'm just looking to replace thank you!

[@MaryMoisan]

great comparison. I already have the SU pad, but reach for my HeroArt Unicorn White pad, so I will have to give the SU another try. AND I will be getting the other two winners also :)

[@melissasimcox4009]

Thank you for useful and money saving info.

[@ginamoody5105]

Thank you for this information!

[@rachelcrotty8368]

This was a brilliant video, thank you :)

[@cynthiaford2874]

Very, very helpful thank you.

[@sandraweaver6337]

VERY GOOD TO KNOW THANKS FOR THE INFO

[@cherylscreativemess]

Thank you for sharing!!!!

[@meme092348]

Thank you so much for taking the guessing out of buying a white stamp pad.

[@DianaTrout]

Great review, Jenny! Thanks. I do like the Stampin Up best too. What weight/brand of paper did you use for your testing?

[@crafttestdummies]

Diana Trout it's just black card stock I had on hand- probably 80 lb weight.

[@arieswomandi]

I'm a Stampin' Up! demonstrator in the UK and you can order the White Craft Ink through your demo, if you have one, or on the SU website. When you go on the website you can choose a demonstrator. Demonstrators send out a thank you card and sometimes a small gift because they appreciate your custom. Thank you for doing the comparison, I found it really interesting. Dee Copus-Read x

[@tinabruderer488]

thx these were helpful

[@WendyColeArt]

It's actually Funstampers Journey Truefusion Whip Cream, next is Tsukineko White chalk ink

[@BlazinRedxDragon]

Try Craft Smart a Michael's store brand. i use that one most.

[@peachiegrinsxd]

I'm wondering how the stazon matched up

[@KyloFeelsYourPain]

You can just go to the Stampin' Up! website and purchase, no party and even no demonstrator if you don't want one. :-) Thanks for sharing this comparison! As a lover of white ink and a SU demo, I was very interested to see how our Craft Ink holds up to others. Keep up the great work!

[@karentalbot4372]

This is true, yet if you select a demonstrator and shop through their website, instead of SU directly, isn't there a slight savings in cost, or did they do away with that? I'm happy SU came out as the winner yet I don't like the dry time. I'll have to give Avery Elle a try (SimonSaysStamp, Joann.com, scrapbook.com all sell Avery Elle items as well. If unfamiliar with Avery Elle, their products are very similar to Lawn Fawn). Hope this is helpful (love your new room :-) )

[@KyloFeelsYourPain]

There's only a savings if the demo themselves offers some sort of promotion (like some offer free shipping for a limited time or something like that). If you spend $150+ then you get Stampin' Rewards regardless of whether you chose a demo or not. As for the dry time, I can totally see why Avery Elle would be a clear winner in that arena. I do have to use my heat tool to dry the SU Craft Ink when I use it.

[@inekesauerbier5861]

this is very helpful. I know now what to buy. BTW what brand is the stamp you've used here?

[@crafttestdummies]

It's one of my favorite sets from Papertrey Ink- Stylish sentiments: www.papertreyink.com/stamps/stylish-sentiments-birthday-stamp-set/

[@JinxKJ1]

Thanks for doing this! So far I have found Lawn Fawn's Yeti ink to be the best of the whites but I can't wait to try Stamping ups Whisper white. May I request a similar comparison test between metallic ink pads? The best I've found is Tsukineko Delicata 4 with for metallic colors of pigment ink but I'd love to find ink with a deeper color pay off.

[@crafttestdummies]

Kelli G I just got the new colors of Delicata. What other brands are you interested in?

[@JinxKJ1]

Any brands to be honest. I do most of my supply shopping online as I live far from any shops. I've tried to cheap metallic ink pads, cheap as in $1.00 and Colorbox gold and silver but they stamp really light. Great for a ghosting/shadow look but that is about it.

[@maggiebaxter610]

Fabulous comparisons Jenny! Thanks so much for doing this. #kindnessmatters

[@BritgirlTX]

I like Memento ink. Dries quickly and can be used with Copics. Thanks for doing this comparison for us though ...

[@kristenk1995]

Would have loved to see Gina K Designs White Pigment ink in this comparison test. I have it and love it.

[@crafttestdummies]

Kristen K I couldn't find Gina K on Amazon and I've never seen it on a store. It was a little too obscure of a brand to include- then I would have to include another 10 smaller brands and as you can see this comparison got a little costly. $$$

[@kristenk1995]

sometimes it's worth it to search out quality. I knew many of these wouldn't give an opaque look just from being dye based. I agree about price too. Additionally I don't consider SU particularly easy to procure you have to jump through so many hoops and be assigned to Betty or Sally - no just send me my stuff.

[@crafttestdummies]

If you know someone at Gina K who'd like to donate a stamp pad for a rematch, I'm open! However I've spent over $100 on stamp pads so far. Avery Elle is a good option if you don't like SU.

[@kathycresswell8353]

Thank you for doing this! It's very helpful. I'm going to try the winning inks. If you do a rematch, I would love to see a comparison with StazOn Opaque.

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

I just saw this! I would be more than happy to send one your way! :) Please let me know where to send it.

[@lindafowlerjohnston]

On other comparisons, I've heard Avery Elle is chalky and rubs off easily when dry. Did you notice that? Thanks for posting this on KZbin.

[@karentalbot4372]

I remember SU to do the same. Wonder if heat setting would help.

[@ceciliaforester6335]

I purchased the Avery Elle because I'm new to card making and didn't yet own a white ink - and also purchased because of this demo. I recently used it and heat embossed it as is, as well as with embossing powder. Both never seemed to dry. It's chalky and smears. I kept my swatch handy for a week and it is still smearing. I thought the embossing powder would keep that from happening - but it didn't. I used Ranger's Holographic embossing powder - so don't know if that had anything to do with the results. Maybe I should've tried a plain white embossing powder (but that's not the look I was going for). So, that being said, if an ink never dries, it's useless to me. Other than this, I love Craft Test Dummies and appreciate all their hard work and comparisons - but this one is a fail. If anyone has any tips on working with the Avery Elle Pigment ink in white, please pass it along! I haven't thrown it out yet.

[@peggywilliams8229]

have you ever heard of stampendous stamp pads if so have you used and do you like

[@crafttestdummies]

+Peggy Williams i'm not familiar with them at all. But while I'm at the trade show this weekend, I'll keep an eye out. Thank you for your comment.

[@Play-tv3br]

Thanks for the review. Unfortunately your picks are sold out everywhere online. Do you have any of either of your picks you would sell to me?

[@crafttestdummies]

Check ebay!

[@y2kcards923]

anyone have a new stampin' up white ink pad they would sell? can't find them anywhere

[@crafttestdummies]

Check ebay!

[@scottb4862]

Does this stamp work on fabric? I need a white color fabric stamp. My fabric is black.

[@crafttestdummies]

No. You cannot stamp in white on black fabric. You may want to experiment with "lift off" ink pads from Jacquard that actually remove the dye- but that's not 100% "no fail." Good luck.

[@kathysammartano4432]

Just checked the Avery Elle on Amazon and they are charging almost $8.50 for it!

[@kathysammartano4432]

But it's on sale at Joann's for $3.60!

[@BlingBlingCrafter]

You aren't obligated to host a party to buy Stampin Up. Just go to there website and buy. You can choose a demonstrater in your area or from any US state, so you may get a thank you card and a free catalog as long as you DON'T opt on the website not to be notified. Let a demonstrater send you there thank you. Like I'm a demonstrater and everyone who buys from me, there name goes into a hat for a monthly drawing. I just wanted you and your followers to know, no obligation to buy more than you want at anytime. And I don't ever try to sell to them, I let the products do that. THANK YOU FOR this, I myself haven't bought the stampin up white, but I will know. I've been using picket fence and my Misti to try to get a better color. TY4S, Whisper Pat

[@goatpepperherbaltea7895]

I want one that doesn’t wash off on fabric

[@TheRealMythril]

Are any of those pads waterproof?

[@crafttestdummies]

Only the dye-based ones, namely the Hero Hues Dye and the Distress Pad. The Delicata runs a but, it's mostly just a shimmer that is spread around and the image stays pretty intact. But if you want to watercolor over a white pigment pad, you can always heat emboss with clear powder over it.

[@stampaliciousnl]

The Picket Fence Distress ink isn't waterproof. It's actually formatted to act just like other distress inks, and is water reactive.

[@crafttestdummies]

With all due respect, I brushed water over it and it didn't fade, smear or "react."

[@lucydelumine]

The Picket Fence Distress pad does react to water just like the whole Ranger Distress line. Even Tim Holtz says so himself.

[@DianaTrout]

Oh! I forgot ... the Staz On is great too

[@SuperFancy]

What a shame that Stampin'up doesn't sell in Spain and there is no sign they will, they have these way of selling their products that is like Tupperware or Avon and I think that is so outdated and frustrating in internet era. But, anyway, this is a wonderful thing that you have done this comparison which is as complete as interesting and helpful. By the way, you look stunning and it seems New York suits you very, very well... now that you have an "apple" a day!!!!... a big apple, that is...

[@crafttestdummies]

+Marta Fancylooks you are sweet! Let me Know if you want me to sent you a SU pad... I'll send it if you'll pay.

[@Fancylooks]

You are the sweet one and I really appreciate for your offer, that is incredible, really and so kind!, but I know the shipping cost to Spain will make it so expensive (around 16-20 dollars for any product just for Shipping costs) it is not worth it. I tell you what I really like from Stampin'up, apart from everything they have, really... I love the Gingerbread man punch, I am in love with that, in fact, most of Stampin'up punches are awesome and they seem to work marvellously as I hear the sound they make, like sharp blades, very sturdy. I have contacted an English stampin'up seller, she has a wonderful YT channel, and she says she cannot send me to Spain because it is not in her Stampin'up zone, no sellers are, apparently, able to sell in Spain.I wonder why. I keep looking around Europe so I find nice shipping costs but the price is so high. I may wait till I can buy in Spain, if anyone knows someone who already sells, please, help!

[@charlottesharkey3988]

Looks like Avery Elle discontinued ink pads

[@rayalatham4420]

First great video, long over due. But...I've been stamping over 20 years and never had a Colorbox pad 'run' on me - I think you got a dud! Plus Clearsnap/Colorbox is owned by Stampin'Up so it makes no sense that the quality would be on total opposite ends of the spectrum. You should email Clearsnap they've always had great customer service, I bet they'd pop a new one in the mail for you.

[@crafttestdummies]

Just because they are owned by the same parent company doesn't ensure consistent performance or quality. Take Plaid for example- they manufacture three kinds of acrylic paints, each at their own "grade" and price point.

[@crafteresauk6200]

thats fabulous news, I am a Stampin Up Demonstrator if anyone wants help to get the Stampin Up Whisper White ink pad in the UK I can help, and if you want it without postage in lancashire uk I can help with that too as I would order it with my next order for you

[@ltdesigns2]

I was disappointed in Ranger pigment Glacier white ink pad. Poor quality!

[@kperry5000]

You can't triple stamp a double stamp!

[@amkarei]

HUH?!?
