I was one of those people who were running the whole pad along the sides of the item I wanted to ink. Getting ink all over my hands and over my desk...soo not fun. I was introduced to this wonderful product. My fingers are clean..desk not soo mcuh(from other stuff :). The pads last a long time. I could blend two colors at once. I will recommend this for anyone who has an ink collection. As I do!!!
Used in this project: My very first card!!!
Love love love this tool! It is a MUST if you are using the alcohol inks. It is simple and really mistake free. I did have an issue with the new foam pads attaching. They would not stay on the tool. So I just used some sticky back velcro and placed it on the tool and now the foam pads stick like new!

I have hesitated to buy this tool over the past couple of years that I finally expanded my scrapbooking to include inks. I wasn't so sure about all that "start on separate paper or mat and work your way onto the paper with the ink". Now I know I never fully enjoyed my inks until I did use this product. I store the used ink pads in small zip lock style bags so they can be re-used and I use a separate one for each color that I ink with. How silly was I not to trust Tim Holtz???
Let me tell you...if you are into distressing and inking, this is a must have tool for you!! I have loved the Tim Holtz line of distress inks for a while now but haven't had this applicator until recently. I used to use regular foam make-up sponges. They worked great for the edges and working the ink around a little, but the effect was always a little harsher than what I wanted. Well, the very first time I tried applying the ink with this applicator, it was like magic! It blends the ink sooooo smoothly onto your paper and it's so easy to mix colors or change the color you've already applied. It's awesome! This is one of those products I'll use forever...

I tried to use other ways to apply the distress inks but none worked for me. I had this on my wishlist for long & got it in a swap. I used it immediately & love the way it moves smoothly on cardstock & paper. I don't know why I waited so long for this tool. It is the best if you are into inking. Try it.

This is my go to tool when I am laying down ink on my layouts or projects. I just grab the base of the block, use a circular motion to add ink to the foam pad, then run it along the edge of my paper to add definition and character. You can add lots of ink or little bits of ink, all up to you. If you don't have one, buy it.. you'll love itt.
I never really knew exactly how to use my distressing ink until I saw Heidi Swapp use this to blend the ink using her masks. I tried it the other day and it worked awesome! The only thing I don't like is that it only comes with one refill and the refills are expensive. But the tool itself works great!
I just got this in the mail and I love it!!!! I'm glad I got two! This works perfectly with Tim Holtz ink pads when you want to distress tags, pages, and any embellishments. I'm glad I have this tool to use and now I have spares to hold me until I run out!! This is a must buy and it works hand in hand with the whole Tim Holtz line!!!!
A must have for your distress inks AND you need to have one for every color ink. If you are like me when I get a vision in my head, I just want to go with it like Edward Scissorhands to head of hair! I don't want to have to stop to keep chaning pads on these guys....so I am slowly working on getting one for every color distress ink. I did buy the craftspinner to hang these on and will need to get another one really soon. They are awesome.
This is a must have tool if you're into the Shabby Chic, Vintage, or Distressed styles of papercrafting. The blending tool makes it so much easier (and cleaner) to put the ink right where you want it and blend it in nicely without wasting a lot of ink--and the extra pads are great for different color inks.
