I woke up this morning with this exact idea, and immediately jumped onto KZbin to see if someone has already done it. You've made my day :)

What an innovative idea! I have been looking for a not so expensive solution (even though HL no longer offers coupons or other incentives, I hardly visit there anymore) and I am definitely going to incorporate it! Love my Oxides bold, too! 🎨

I get it! I never visit my local big box craft stores anymore either. But I do still use this system and it works great for me! I hope it works for you too!😊

This is great. I number my ink pads and corresponde the number with the blending tool; I have a tool for each color
@christygetscrafty Жыл бұрын
What a smart idea!🙂
@TheresaJollyLee4 жыл бұрын
Clever idea. Depending on how you store the Distress Oxide inkpads, you can use little Velcro stickies on the bottom of each pad. Stick one side of the Velcro on the bottom of the ink pad, and the other side of the Velcro on the black side of the blending foam. Pull the blending foam off when er you want to use it, then return it when you’re done. Then you always have the color matched to the ink pad. I store my Distress Oxide inkpads in a Stamp’n Storage IKEA holder (actually, two of them), so they slide in and out easily.
@christygetscrafty4 жыл бұрын
I considered this, but then you can’t stack them while using. So I opted to go this route. But for people who don’t care about the ability to stack them, this method would work well.🙂
@TheresaJollyLee4 жыл бұрын
Let me clarify about the storage - it’s from an online store - stampnstorage.com - they make storage solutions for crafters. Some of them fit into the square cubes in the IKEA Expedit (or whatever they’re now called) units. Sorry if I confused anybody.
@TheresaJollyLee4 жыл бұрын
Christy Gets Crafty - you’re absolutely right that you can’t stack them. I tried that originally, but it didn’t work, which was when I found the storage units that Stamp’n Storage make.

Great idea! I am working on new storage and replacing my blenders. Just this week the black part peeled away from the foam on 2 of them! I may get handles for my most popular colors to reduce the wear.
@christygetscrafty4 жыл бұрын
Yes, I agree! I’d like to eventually have maybe 10 or 12 of the tools to make it easier. Pulling the foams off the tool is my least favorite part!

What a great idea, I am trying to figure out what to do, AGAIN. I am going back to blending foams for the Distress Oxide because it is too difficult to keep the brushes separate from the other inks.

I never got into the brushes. I guess they’re good if you want a softer application of ink, but I typically prefer bolder color.🤷🏻♀️

Instead of buying the (overpriced) wooden handles, try spools. Like sewing thread comes on. Plastic or wooden, doesn't matter. You can find old thread at thrift stores. Or you can buy wooden spools from JoAnn's, Amazon etc. (in the unfinished wood section in stores) They come in different sizes so you can find ones that feel good in your hand. This way your pads themselves don't get wear and tear from being pulled off the handle constantly. You can store the spool daubers on a wall mounted or desktop spool holder (also found at all the above places).
