Welcome to Quick Tip Tuesday here at FCCB!
If you like inking/distressing your Cricut cuts, you're going to love this tip! I have been using this method of storing/organizing the sponges I use to apply ink for about a year now, and I love it!!!
I found the tip HERE, and she found the tip somewhere else...not sure who to give credit to, but whoever you are, THANK YOU!
Here's how to use this organization/storage method:

Here's how to use this organization/storage method:
1. Keep a separate sponge for each ink color you own. I use the round CTMH sponges, and cut each one into eight wedges. You could also use those foam make-up applicator sponges.
2. Clip a small binder clip onto each sponge/wedge. The clip not only helps keep your fingers clean(er), but this is where you add the name of the ink.
3. Use a label maker and print the name of each color in the smallest size font available. Abbreviate if necessary. Trim off excess label around the printed name and apply to top of binder clip.
Ta-da! How easy is that? I never confuse sponges anymore and I don't have to continuously wash them out to re-use them!
Hope you enjoyed this Quick Tip!
Happy Cricuting! :)
