I love the idea of the coin pockets since the 2x2 SNAP pocket pages are no longer available.

Thanks for sharing your storage for the Oxides. Have a good week.

I have the 2x2 coin pages that I store my oxide foams in. I have my ink swatches in separate coin pages. It has worked so great for me and I love having them handy and I just put them on a binder ring and hang it off the side of my desk. I have all the mini distress ink pads so I just put the foams in the bottom of those like you do.

Sound advice, all of it. One thing you were doing but didn't comment on, is that it's a good idea to keep a finger on the Velcro bit on the handle. With the old handles it was all too easy to rip it off to the point where Tim Holtz made a video saying just that. I haven't done it with the minis but then again I always hold it down. Somewhat off topic, however, a useful note.

@PrairiePaperandInk 6 жыл бұрын

I've never had an issue with the velcro since the mini round size was released - sure it pulls up a bit but the staples they've used to hold it to the handle have held secure for me for years now that's why I've never mentioned it

@bethjeans3780 3 жыл бұрын

@@PrairiePaperandInk You showed that you actually did put a finger from your other hand on the velcro both times you showed it - just automatic at this point probably. :)

I store my blending pads in a notebook as well, but I use heavy cardstock with pieces of the hook side of velcro glued on. If you worry about color transfer just place a cheap page protector between each page. This works great for me as I don't have to struggle with little pockets!

@annihilator45 6 жыл бұрын

Robin Schaefer I store my foams similarly..mine are on Velcro pieces on cardstock, inside a large plastic box. I can fit 24 in each box. So I'll need three boxes for the 60 colors.

@mcescher1957 6 жыл бұрын

It really works great doesn't it? I know that I have had a hard time finding the plastic pockets with all the small pockets and I would think you would end up with more ink on your fingers trying to maneuver those foams in the little pockets...lol. I am amazed at all the different ways people come up with to store supplies...I so appreciate having choices, as when you've been an artist/crafter as long as I have, you start running out of room! lol (does that mean I'll stop buying stuff?.....nope. I'm crowded, not crazy...lol)

@melissasmuddle9728 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you sooo much for commenting! I was just about to try her idea but I was worried about ink getting everywhere. I think I'm going to try velcro on the backs of me ink swatches instead, right on the coin sleeves. That way everything is together and I can put a piece of paper (easily changed out) facing the pads to keep them neat. Thanks again!

Great storage option. I use those dollar tree boxes that they are swapping as embellishment boxes and they fit perfectly! I have like 30 of the original tools, but only 6 of the little round. I buy them from time to time, but I still use my originals, especially for bigger areas or areas I need a deeper blend. TFS :) Ps... I remember your first purchase of Distress ink at your local store and you were unsure if you would even like it. If we only knew way back when LOL

Amy, Amy, Amy!! Thank you so much for sharing this storage tip! I bought one of the Snap Simple Stories binders and the 2x2 pocket pages a few months ago and finally decided to quit being lazy and set up my binder. I love it!! Unfortunately, my label maker ran out of labels and now I have to wait to finish it. 😜 But it looks great! I don't have many of the distress oxide inks (yet!), but look forward to using this storage system. Thank you again for sharing this idea and for sharing your many beautiful cards with all of us. 😊❤

I just love you! I stole your idea for Oxide ink sponge storage after the very first time you mentioned it and I am loving it! I can’t stand for my pads to not stack properly and I didn’t like that ink got everywhere when I tried storing them on the bottom. Inky fingers make me happy so pulling the sponges from the small pockets doesn’t bother me. Plus, like you said, it’s just cute! TFS, sweets!

Your idea is good. I like mine as well. I went to Ranger website and printed out the chart for the Oxides. Laminated the chart (but page protector would work too). Bought Velcro at JoAnn’s (using coupon). Attached the Velcro to the laminated sheet. Then I put blending sponges to the respective colors. I may have to do some juggling with the new colors cuze I haven’t looked at the Ranger site yet with his ones just released. keep the sheets Velcroed to my wall by my ink storage. I do have a large binder for all my ink swatches but have not yet done my Oxides. Since I use Bristol the most, they r all swatched on it. Think I’ll put my swatches on a ring like Tim Holtz does and hang near my sponges. I have 6 handles for Distress. I have handles for ALL the Dylusions paints I keep on a revolving blending tool holder 3 racks high (bought at Tuesday Morning about 12 mo ago). Thanks for sharing your idea.

Great tips and I think I'm going to implement this myself. When you were talking about ink swatching I was thinking if you make 2x2 swatches you could actually slip them just behind the sponges so you would have the visual right there and not have to have more pages. Also love the little heart punched color swatches. I'm going to do that, too!
