Creative Craft Company 48-Piece Sponge Daubers with 50 Labels, 1.5-Inch Square Gold Ink Pad and Storage Case

I was almost afraid to purchase these daubers. I have been burned in the past with some inexpensive ones that had a long, wiggly sponge that made them hard to use. So, I had been sticking with only "the best". Well, I have mixed "the best" in with these and guess what happened? Now they are all "The Best!". They absorb and spread the ink just great. I love having one for each of my Stampin' Up! colors. So far, I am using the labels that came with them, because it is handy to just write on one as I use a color. Eventually, I will use my label maker with plastic labels, so the ink can be wiped away.The case...it is the reason I bought these to begin with. I was tired of the daubers I had being mixed up in the container they were in. Problem solved! I store it like a book, only I put the long edge down. It takes up a space on my table that is a little less than 1.5 inches wide and sits next to my ink pads, since I use them together. I put the daubers in sponge first. That way, I can just put my finger in it and not get ink on my fingers. They have been in the case this way for a couple of months and it doesn't seem to have flattened the sponges.I looked at these on and off for months, trying to make up my mind. If you are on the fence, I highly recommend the purchase!

Dobbers arrived in timely manner & have absolutely no complaints in their part. They were just as expected & will definitely fit the bill, just what I needed. The reason for 4 stars is the difficulty getting them out of the box w/o spilling others out. I KNEW, from other reviews, that this was a problem, even though I didn't realize HOW difficult it would be getting them out, so I'm not complaining. I will use a tweezers to pull them out...will put one in the box for handiness. Perhaps the company will figure out a better way eventually. I haven't used them yet, but they look just fine. Labels will be so handy!

I love these! They are a little short for grabbing in the case but I just flipped them upside down. All you have to do is put your finger in the holes to pull them out and no inky fingers either! Perfect! I love that they have labels too.

Fast shipping. Ordered on Thursday and received on Saturday. It is a very nice set. It has a case to store all the daubers after they have ink on them. You can label the dauber with provided labels, so you exactly what color is on the dauber and they gave you a free gold stamp pad. All around good set for a stamper. Will definitely shop with them again.

I received everything just like in the photo. Even the small gold ink pad and the dauber labels.The daubers was clean and fitted 2 in a compartment in the storage case.But unfortunately my case was damaged in the back, maybe it was from the shipping.I can still use it so I will not be sending it back.Thank you.

The case looks durable and is a good size. If I turn all the daubers upside down in the case I can easily stick my finger into the one I want and lift it out with no problems. I think these will be very nice.

Arrived with a cracked lid. Doesn't make a great gift like that :(

Used them at a card retreat. Everyone liked them. The one used the most shows a little damage, but that should be expected. I keep them upside down in the case so the linked side is touching the bottom. Easy to remove and your hands aren't covered in ink.
