Storing mini ink blending tool and foams

Try using the brushes... Like the life changing brushes, but you can get them much cheaper on Amazon.... You may not need the foam anymore!

I don't swap my foams out anymore but when I did, I stored them in a plastic box with dividers. I think they sell them in the fishing section at the store. I made little labels for the color names and labeled the divided compartments. I've also seen people use those pocket pages that have 2 x 2 pockets on them. I think they're made for slides or coins or something.

I got them at a LSS.  I had been watching demo's and thought I wanted the whole set (actually two sets:  there was a large brush set and a small brush set), but talked myself down to buying  just two of the larger brushes.  Really glad I did that, b/c as I said, no discernable ink transfer, so you don't need one for each colour family like you do for the foams.

There is no brand mark on either of them and the packaging is long gone, but they look a lot like the "Life Changing" Picket Fence brushes in tutorials like THIS

I keep my foams in a little tupperware container, all jumbled up. I only have oxide inks and not the whole set so I can usually pick the right one based on looking at the color compared to the ink pad, and if I can't I figure they're close enough that it doesn't matter.

If you're looking into those fancy brushes there are tons that are exactly the same on Amazon - they're makeup brushes. I think I got some links from another thread on this board. They're much cheaper than the Picket Fence life changing brushes and they're exactly the same product. (I haven't bought any yet. I got a Tim Holtz brush with a card kit that I use for all my distress oxides. It's ok. Not great.)

I started storing the mini foams underneath my distress oxide ink but that interferes with stacking so now I have them stuck on a laminated sheet of cardstock (using velcro dots) with a label to say what colour is what. I set up a page similar to the free downloadable colour chart that's available from Ranger (link)and just have my sheet propped up on my desk for now.

I only have 18 distress oxide inks so this works for me.

Just throw them in a bag in the same storage drawer as my oxides. I like to stack my oxides so a foam underneath messes that up. I mostly use the Yoseng Amazon brushes now anyway. My regular full size Distress is in an ink pad holder with slots for each color. I store those pads upside down and put a sponge in the well, no Velcro. I don’t use those for blending much anymore. I think I may buy a set of Yoseng to use just with the regular Distress. I mess up a lot with sponges. I wonder if Tom Holtz blender brush and sponge revenue is down. I’m not replacing any and I may get rid of my Clarity brushes.  

I store them under the ink pads. For the minis, as grammadee said, you don't need velcro. For the distress pads, I use cheap (dollar store) velcro - when I used the heavy-duty stuff I had lying around, I ran into the stacking problem that riley described.

Thrown in a bag. I mostly use the brushes now.
