Mini Ink Pads & and Ink Update!

[@enelson3293]

I only buy the minis. Once I found these, I got rid of my full size pads. The minis are so much better for storage and keep me from making a mess when using my Misti. Hope this means you will now offer the minis at the same time as new full size pads. My biggest frustration has been waiting a year after a new release to get my new colors!

[@CatherinePooler]

I’m so happy you love your minis! We’ll be releasing the mini and full size at the same time, beginning later this year.

[@2busygal]

It would be great if you offered a “make your own” bundle for the minis. So an incentive to order 8 minis, slightly discounted like the current bundle and comes in the box.

[@brendajaques1290]

I was around back then. I was watching Catherine before she started her company. Then I continued to follow after the company started. Love your video’s, always have!

[@jessieconger3553]

I literally saw the mini pads on Totally Tiffany and I was like OMG!! They are made to make it easier to ink up our stamps on the misti. I cannot wait to get these in my hands!! I’m so excited!!

[@susan.w3987]

I was there in the beginning!🤩so much fun and still so much fun. Thank you, Catherine!

[@sunastirkcreates]

I only have the full sized ink pads and really love them! I like the fact that they are on a sponge method and the love tap is nice and gentle and you still get the stamp loaded up full of enough ink for stamping clearly. The colours are to die for! I am really looking forward to more colours coming out.

[@susiewittwer9574]

I love your minis and they are what convinced me to try CP inks. The size is perfect! I bought just a couple of collections to start with, but just a few weeks ago I just invested in ordering all of the collections that I was missing. Now that I've seen this announcement, I'm SO happy that I did that!

[@sandeec4639]

I watching the replay. I did get every Stamp of Approval! I recall sitting in the parking garage at work waiting for the box to go live before I went into work at 8 am central time! 🤣 loved them all.

[@CatherinePooler]

Oh my goodness, I love that!!!❤❤❤

[@deborahanne9793]

I like how the minis now come in sets that already coordinate in colors.

[@fernfray1896]

Brand new to Catherine Pooler inks. Played all day and I’m loving them. Thank you for the burst of colors, card makers delight!

[@karenskillender6684]

I used to store/display them by the color set, then changed it all… now I stack by color family, pink, red, orange, yellow, etc. I’m glad you are changing the process because I like many, probably felt pressured into buying entire set. I only have purchased the full size, no minis for me. Love the striping technique with them, but that’s about it. Love your inks, especially when used with solid images! The best!

[@dianahults3059]

Yes I was there from the beginning with the first Stamp of Approval Box. It has been a great journey!

[@PamG012]

I love the mini ink pads! They are a great size, not too small. What I like best about your inks are how juicy and vibrant they are!

[@missyleftrick5525]

Oh my goodness I have all the minis I can get right now! I love that these inks are so juicy and true to color! You can do all the things with them and you don’t have to worry about having to use other inks! I am tight on space for my inks so I created a holder for them and they sit beautifully on my desk!

[@joanneguarino170]

Watching the replay. I didn't get the first Stamp of Approval but I got everyone after that. They were amazing. I love being along on the ride to watch your company blossom into what it is today. I love all of your products! I started out with the full size inks because that's all you had but I now have the minis too. Your ink is vibrant and juicy and stamps perfectly all the time.

[@CatherinePooler]

Thank you for the constant love and support!!! ❤

[@peggyfitzmaurice4100]

I love how juicy your inks are and how vivid they are. I will have to check my inventory and purchase what is missing

[@mellightbody8212]

Yay ! This announcement made my week. I don’t have a lot of room in my craft shed so I love my CP ink minis and I’m always pulling them out. They truly make the best stamp impressions . Color choices (which I struggle with a lot ) are easy with the color wheels. 🎊 🎉🎉

[@litamohr7227]

You two ladies are so beautiful and fun to watch! Add to that the amazing products you offer and life is good 😊 I love the mini ink pads! Easier to ink in soooo many different ways and to store! The colors are wonderful and they really hold the ink well. I always purchase the ink refills when I purchase the pads. Ohhh and they pop into my travel bag too ❤❤❤

[@deejohnston3666]

I watched you long ago! When you did card by yourself I think...glad your still going strong!

[@brendajaques1290]

I have never used the minis. Very satisfied with the full ink pads!

[@dinacarroll9211]

I love the spa collection of colors. I buy your mini size, just because of space. I love the saturation of color in your inks.

[@nikkisscrapbookingadventures]

I love the juiceness of the ink and that they are so small!

[@elizabethharris8692]

I purchased the first box, have been a fan ever since.

[@cardsbydannii]

Finally! I am so glad you are going to sell the mini ink separate. I buy mini ink purely because of affordability. This means when I can spare some cash I am able to buysome new inks.

[@amaragarcia4553]

Watching on the replay. I did get the first Stamp of Approval, and all those that followed. Loved those curated boxes. I have enjoyed watching CP grow and evolve over the years.

[@CatherinePooler]

Ahhh! Wonderful!! 🎉

[@carissawiley]

I love that these will be offered individually.

[@barbaraharding6115]

I have never tried your stamp pads, I am excited to do so

[@paulawillard9083]

I was a brand new stamper when I found you and ordered foundations and zen garden. This ink made me look experienced because it stamps so easy!!

[@CatherinePooler]

So happy you’re loving them!

[@cardstockcollector]

Loved the SOA boxes.

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

I LOVE your inks. Always the first thing I reach for. I love that I always get a good solid stamping, even with a silhouette image. Plus you’ve got gorgeous colors. Looking forward to spots being filled in on the color wheel.

[@CatherinePooler]

We’re excited too!

[@jodilevesseur5172]

I love my minis for when i stamp away from home snd for paper swiping. My full size pads i use mostly at home. Love my CP pads!

[@MareeForman]

Love love love your inks. I am still trying to build up my collection. 💕💕💕

[@Mari-cre8s]

I was intrigued by the beautiful colors when watching Amy’s Wares KZbin videos and started my collection with a few select colors of full size pads. Then I added a few more, with refills. By that time I had at least one or two of each ‘group’. I am thrilled that we will now be able to buy individual minis. There are just done colors that I don’t need a full size pad for, but will love having the little one and it’s refill!! I also look forward to getting individual label strips… my attempts are not named, just a color swatch! Great products!! TY🙏🏼😀🧑🏼‍🎨💗

[@brendaaplin2462]

I love both sizes.. ❤ the minis for direct to paper technique

[@brendaaplin2462]

Thanks for keeping us informed

[@kimkasperek6940]

I first found out about your Co at She Loves Color during a class by Erica Thompson. Loved your inks from that moment on, (so juicy) but really became hooked in Nov. 2019 when you came to her crop in Rockford. I mostly create away from home, so I love the minis, (esp. that they are bigger than a little cube), but of course I have been buying my favorites in full size to use for ink blending.😊

[@annakickan]

I have the full Spa Collection in minis. It was a good way for me to get a full set of inks without breaking the banks. Huge fan of Sea Glass.

[@CatherinePooler]

❤❤❤ sea glass!

[@Freespiritarts]

These will be the first inks I’ve purchased that aren’t distress inks. I am very new to card making.

[@delishifyable]

I love the minis…shape and size. I do have the complete neutrals set in large. Also love the juiciness and clarity and saturation of color. 💜💜💜 you guys.

[@amaragarcia4553]

I have the full size, minis and refills. The minis are great to take along to a friend's place to craft. I love the vibrant colors. They are wayer reactive for techniques and they blend well too.

[@CatherinePooler]

I love the water reactive properties, too!

[@alicialutman1391]

❤yes! I still have stamps that I use today from that first SOA box!❤

[@lisarutherford369]

I bought almost all of the SOA boxes. LOVED them!!

[@gailsillers470]

I’ve just started purchasing the mini sets. I have 3 sets. I have heard so many good things about these pads & many of the crafters I follow, use your inks. I would love to have a full set of colors but decided to go with the minis because of price & I already have other ink pads from other companies. Thanks so much!

[@CatherinePooler]

So glad you’ve started your collection!

[@barbaraharding6115]

Lisa Love studios has something she has made to store the minis, looks GREAT

[@mariesilva5021]

I'm very new to these world. My question, when do people use minis over full? Or vise versa? Are the minis usually for collection? Thank you. 😊

[@mellightbody8212]

I don’t have a lot of space so I love the CP minis because I can pull out a lot of inks from a color family at one time and I can also store them efficiently. I have full sized ink pads, but I most often reach for my CP minis because of the quality of the ink and pad and ease of use. I hope that helps.

[@deborahanne9793]

Enjoy your mini ink pads, stamp so easily. I do like the containers that the mini sets come in, concerned about not having the container to store them in when sold individually?

[@carolpope1145]

I remember those days

[@sharonpurkey4076]

I was watching you when your Stamp of Approval, but didn't buy any. I have only a black full size pad . I love the minis as I am space challenged. I like the usability of your inks.💜💜💜💜

[@carolmineweaser991]

I love the mini ink pad. I make cards and the mini ink pads are easier to use in smaller areas and also love the foam pads.

[@jjumscand]

Great News!

[@cindylynndaniel]

I was trying to hit comments ❤❤❤ and o think I brushex against thumbs down past 13 or more days in hospital I’m still fuzzy. Anyway I love your ink am looking forward to owning every single one of them excited to see how new changes do! Wish we had a hint of next release love love love them Now let’s see if o can fix the thumb!

[@nhea721]

I have the party collection and the best ink I have used. I've ordered some full ones, just not sure the colors. But love, love your inks. More power! From 🇨🇦

[@koraly.artdesigns8453]

This is my first time using CP inks. How do you guys clean the stamps after inking them? What product do you use? Thanks.

[@laurieeierman5556]

Need a small storage Tin like Tim Holtz has but for your minis -- please I just found these and am smitten but need storage ideas

[@arlenedonald8688]

The minis are great for traveling and for using on my MISTI.

[@CraftedbyNicoleLeBlanc]

That's so exciting because I have one mini that I accidentally reinked with the wrong reinker, so I need to replace it 😊

[@sheilabrown4230]

I love the minis the best.

[@tracytarby8672]

I like the minis for ink swiping across paper, but prefer the full size for most uses. I also purchased some minis instead of full size for the colors I thought I wouldn't use often (but I still wanted the colors!).

[@deborahanne9793]

How did you make the dot of color on the top ,of the Reinker? Thanks.

[@kccrunch01]

Is the Luxe mini ink pad bundle going to be restocked before the change?

[@elizabethp2040]

They said yes but you can also find it at other online retailers like A Cherry On Top!

[@kellymedley9579]

Hello from Burlington, NC!💗 I was so excited that you are right down the road! I just saw your live presentation at the Paper Crafters Get Organized Conference.👍 I want to start stamping. (I'm a total newbie.😳🤣) I've purchased a few stamps, but I haven't purchased any inks yet. I tried to get a question answered at the conference about whether to start by purchasing minis or full-size, but it didn't get through to anyone.😔 I wish it had because of the discount that you offered to those of us who paid for the Ultimate Organization Bundle. I was hoping to invest in your ink collection. After seeing this, I'd really like to get the minis. (All Of Them😳🤦🏻‍♀️🤣😊) Is there another conference I can join or other way to get a similar deal? I'm a retired teacher and school library media specialist, so I have to look for every deal possible.🤷🏻‍♀️😊 Ardyth sold me on your inks, and then your presentation sealed the deal. Knowing you are a North Carolina company makes me even happier to support you. If there is a better way to contact you, please let me know that also.😊

[@CatherinePooler]

So happy that you found us and are loving our inks! They hardly ever go on sale, but the current bundle pricing is a great discount! The bundles will change at the end of June, so I hope you’ll get a chance to get some of them at that pricing, especially the minis! If you have more questions, please email us at [e-mail] Hope this helps, we’re excited for you to enjoy our inks!

[@darlingagarcia]

Ok, I am in! I got the Minis. I absolutely love your inks. Will wait for the luxe to be restocked and I will have my collection complete (except for the neutral)! I sent an email, any changes planned for the color combo guide?

[@kristinahamada-wong5745]

I have both sizes because that's how I roll!😂 Now, I'm working on refills! I love how the ink transfers to the stamps so easily and love the ink to paper technique!

[@CatherinePooler]

I love it too! ❤

I like the minis for just one stamp

[@charylhodges470]

I really like the mini's but some are hard to open. 😊

[@spdybug]

This is the most phenomenal change I have heard from any vendor in a long time!!!!! I cannot wait to purchase all of the new colors! My dream is to round out the color wheel in each of the spa and party colors. What a fabulous wonderful, great idea!!!!!!! THANK YOU CP!!!!!! PS I only have full-size for now. Once that color wheel gets rounded out I may consider investing in the line of mini’s. But I won’t do it unless there is a good storage option. I use Stamp n Storage for almost everything. It would be great if they had a solution that fit the CP inks. Just sayin…!

[@CatherinePooler]

Thank you for the support! There are different storage solutions that people have used, we’ll compile them in a blog post soon!

[@naomicordell1909]

I love the side labels because when you put your ink pads in a case, you can’t see the color without a side label.

[@bethglenmaddie]

Well I'm kind of bummed! I like the mini's being sold in sets, so does this mean you will no longer be selling them that way? I have space issues so mini ink pads are the ones I go for.

[@CatherinePooler]

There will be some mini bundles, but all colors will be sold in minis, so you’ll still be able to get them all 😊

[@bethglenmaddie]

@@CatherinePooler oh good! I love the look of your mini's, even your full size are a nice shape to hold. Right now I have the CTMH ink pads and they are way too big and bulky plus they just don't stamp well. So I'm looking for an alternative and your inks look fantastic!

[@ddrakeutube496]

What was the business issue driving the change in bundled minis?

[@jrobnett3]

Do the side labels fit on the tops or side of the minis?

I have limited space so the minis are ideal for me

[@brendaaplin2462]

Wow…it’s been 8 years??? I bought mine

[@nancypolitte4857]

I'm not sure what you were trying to convey. Are you selling the small ink pads individually or are you only selling them with a large pad and a re-inker. Are you still selling the sets?. This was just confusing. I just purchased 2 sets of the small ink pads and am having a hard time getting use to them.

[@CatherinePooler]

Hi Nancy! Our current bundle configurations will retire at the end of June. All products will be available individually. Please email us if you’d like help with your ink pads! [e-mail] Hope this helps!

[@carolynburch9309]

I prefer minis because they are less messy to use with the MISTI

[@guypicard2262]

Can the ink pads be stored on their side?

[@CatherinePooler]

I store them right side up, but storing them sideways shouldn’t be a problem.
