Hi everyone, Kimberly here to share with you all how I store my ink pads. One of the main things that I find very important with organizing is labeling EVERYTHING! I tend to really love baskets of all kinds and I use them different ways. Since I do a LOT of stamping, I need them near by at all times. This is what I have sitting at the top of my work space so I can reach them easily.
I used my hole punch on some plain white paper, then pressed the dot into the ink pad. I used a dab of the Martha Stewart glue pen on the back side, then adhered it to the side of the pad for each color as shown here.
Now I can see ALL the colors easily from the side as they are piled on top of each other. I really love this, because it makes it super easy for me to choose the exact color I want, without having to take the basket and pull them out one at a time. I hope this helps shed some ideas on how to make finding your colors easier and more efficiently. Thanks for letting me share this idea with you all.
