Stampin’ Up! Hybrid Black Ink Pad Review

Hello Crafty Friends!! 💛

Take your stamping to the next level with the NEW Stampin’ Up! Hybrid Black Ink Pad—a must-have for cardmaking, coloring, and paper crafting projects! This versatile ink is perfect for use with Stampin’ Blends, giving you crisp stamped images that are ready to color with confidence.

I took the Hybrid Black Ink Pad for a test drive using the Relaxing Waterside stamp set and colored the Adirondack chair with the beautiful 2026–2028 In Colors Barely Blush and Golden Glow. Even with simple coloring (no blending or shading), the results turned out clean and vibrant—perfect for both beginner and experienced crafters!

✨ Why You’ll Love It:

• Crisp, bold stamped images for easy coloring
• Ideal for use with alcohol markers like Stampin’ Blends
• Quick-drying formula (just wait a few seconds before coloring!)
• Designed with a tight seal to keep your ink fresh longer

💡 Helpful Tips:
✔️ Open from the side like a book (non-magnetic design for freshness)
✔️ Clean stamps with Stampin’ Mist to prevent staining
✔️ Allow ink to dry briefly before coloring

With other black inks like Memento becoming harder to find, this Hybrid Black Ink Pad is the perfect replacement for your crafting stash. Be sure to grab yours in the May–August 2026 Stampin’ Up! Catalog launching May 5!
