Ali has released 5 new colors in her inks. Take a look here. I'm kind of bummed with the colors except for the navy but having said that they are still really nice inks. I also bought the silver and gold metallic inks that she released for DD this year but they take FOREVER (like literally DAYS) to dry. I won't buy those again. I was really hoping I would love them but I don't have time days for drying time.  |

I like the navy and the green, but I already have similar colours in TH distress inks and CTMH. How are AE inks different from these? And nicolep. did you try heat setting with the metallic? That seemed to work with StazOn metallic inks. |

No, I didn't try that grammadee. I didn't even think of that. I really just want to use them and move on, lol. I barely have time to sit and scrap as it is so extra steps discourage me, ya know? |

The colors are nice, but can we please ban the word "totes" from the English language.

I purchased because I love the way her inks cover and stamp. Way nicer than my SU! Inks. Love the colors but I was hoping for a yellow ( maybe next release)

These don't excite me. I find her inks to be too messy. I guess I'm a messy stamper, I actually prefer the distress inks because they're so dry.

I don't particularly care much for the colors except for the navy. I'm really happy that navy is getting a strong footing in crafting. I really hope it sticks around. While some people may find purple hard to work with and that is why it isn't a prominent color, I have never been able to figure out why navy wasn't around more. It's an easy color to work with and it pairs beautifully with so many popular colors.

I have so many inks I definitely don't need any more! My favourites are Altenew's Crisp Inks which are perfect for using with layered inks and give great images. They also dry really fast.

I love these colours - especially the navy and green. I ordered them right away  I skipped the first bundle cause I wasn't crazy about the colours, so I'm excited to try these inks out! |

Not a fan of the pink, but I like the others.

I'm on the fence. I got the first bundle release and really like the way these inks stamp. But, I don't like pink or navy, and as someone mentioned, the blue looks similar to glass slipper (which I have) and also the SC green and the ABM yes peas. I use white memento ink with good results on photos. Not sure that I NEED these, but so very tempted.

I have a ton of the SC inks so the colors aren't exciting me. Not to mention, they look super wet and don't give a clear stamp image. That irritates me with inks. Whether that was user error or the ink itself, I'm unsure? I've heard excellent things about the first bundle, maybe these are slightly different? I'll wait and see.
ETA: Totally on board with "totes" going back to the hole it came from. Ridiculous. Should we all walk around and abbreviate/shorten random words and see what catches on?
