While I do love to support small business as much as possible, I still have to look out for my pocketbook. That is where Amazon comes in on some of my craft purchases. It's still the best price on Hammermill cardstock, 5 inch ScorTape, and much of the organization tools I use in my space. It's also where I typically get my Bearly Arts glue and those thin foam strips that you see me use all the time! Keep in mind that sometimes things change on Amazon. For instance - they white ceramic dish that I use when creating with my washi tape pieces now only comes in a square version. I do my best to find alternatives and keep my links updated, but please keep this in mind!

These are the items that I deem necessary for ink blending. A good ink is the most important part...and my favorite is Pinkfresh Studio (of course)! I prefer to blend on a glass mat, but I don't need it to be magnetic as I prefer to tape down my stencils. Two of my favorite very small business are included on this list: The Ink Stand and Make It By Marko. I love hands free blending that my Ink Stands provide me, and I love my 3D printed brush holders. They are perfect in my space!

As for brushes, I use a combination of Taylored Expressions, Simon Says Stamp and Gina K Designs these days. Plus the small detail brushes from Pinkfresh that aren't quite released yet. I will add them once they are!

Finally, the more expensive items in my room...my ink holders. I was willing to to pay the price for good ink pad holders, and I love the ones from Organize More.
