Mini Ink Blending Tool-1" Round

One of those things that make life so much easier and more fun. This is a great little tool, makes blending a breeze! There are 2x tools in the pack, so you get a spare, and 4x foam pads. The pads stick to the velco on the bottom of the tool, so easy to attach and remove. I also have the pack of replacement pads (20) so I can use different colours and not have to wash them in between. Very easy to wash, but I wash them less if I have one for each colour :)

These came with some distress inks I bought and are perfect I've used them for stenciling blending and distressing and work great for those tasks the handles are very comfortable and there are spare pads for other colours or replacement which are easily removed and applied with their velcro backings great value for money

This is a very useful inking/ink blending tool if you do not like your fingers to be stained by ink.. BUT...! You can achieve the same if not better results using latex makeup sponges which you can get for pennies from China. However, the latex sponges cannot be neatly stored on the underside of your mini stamp pads. The tool has a Velcro pad that is attached to the stump by one single staple. Pull the sponge the wrong way and you'll pull the Velcro base off, too. Not good. The pack comes with two stamps and 4 pads that should see you through your initial stage. There is a set of replacement pads but they don't feel the same and, although I cannot prove it, I am certain the foam is thinner and of lesser quality. Having the replacements means you can use one foam per colour and never have to wash them (unless you get glitter on them and on your stamp pad. Glitter is lethal and should be prohibited for users over 12 years of age. Nobody is safe from evil glitter!)

Watched many cardmakers using blending tools but these were pricey and the oblong shape seemed awkward and over large. Tried makeup wedges but never happy with ther uneven look. Saw these when ordering inkpads and immediately felt the size and circular shape would be easier to use. They were reasonably priced and came with two spare pads. I like to get things "right" and my first effort at sponging around a cut out image with these mini blending tools left me very pleased. If using dye inks, the pads come up like new with a quick wash. Definitely worth having.

found these easier to use and got smoother, more even results in turn after a wee bit of practice. Due to their circular shape and using a circular motion there were not the lines I experienced with the rectangular version. A lovely addition to my crafting stash!

Love my little blenders. Have had no problems with them they are lovely to hold and use. Very easy. Just be careful pulling the pads off the blending tool, as they can come apart. Nothing to do with how they are made, you just need to hold them right to pull them off. One of mine came apart, as I was a little ruff, but I just glued it back together again and it was fine.

This tool is fab:D The handle is robust and is easy to manipulate the tool in a circular motion whilst ink blending. The pads are a decent size and the Velcro is much more secure than other brand products that are similar. The pads seem to pick up more ink to which means you are not using as much as a little ink gives much more coverage. You can use each pad for one specific colour of the pads wash easily with soap and water for re-use.

I was originally sent just the refill pads by mistake, but the seller sorted that out for me right away and sent out the correct item, no problems. I love using these for ink blending, you get such smooth coverage without applying too much pressure.
