Good to know 😃 Do they color swatch their labels with the actual inks or are they printed? After watching lots of videos looking for ideas they said the colors were off on several of the labels. This way I don’t have to pull out my swatch book 😃

Thanks for sharing this Erin! After spending an evening labeling my inks, and making swatches of them, I can't help but wonder why Ranger just doesn't add a label to the container before they are sold and save us all the trouble! LOL

Right? I wonder the same, it would really make life easier. They do make labels you can now purchase for the inks at least 🤷♀️

I am poor and I went to the Dollar Store and got the 14 small crates and cloths pins. Already have the paint and glue, also a small 4X4 lazy Susan. and 5 of those inks fit in each crate. You tube tutorial: Dollar Tree DIY Amazing Ink Pads Storage" by Faithful Designs By Christy. My Oxides are in a White/Teal tower, the Inks are in a Black/Tan tower. Look awesome and Stack up and you don't need to take the stack out, they are separated and one can be taken out without others coming out. Also with Velcro you can stick the pads next to them ready to go.

I am poor too. That unit she bought is twice the price in Canada @$44.00. So am going to make that storage unit you mentioned. I saw that video also and love it. The only idea I would do is to tape a full sheet of plastic at the top over the sticky pads to keep the dust off. Then just flip it up to take off the pad..

@louisebrislane6607 Жыл бұрын
Thank you for letting us know about this system. It blends in perfectly with the system from ctmh. I have my new ink pads stacked on the carousel base as I only have a tiny space & by using the carousel I can turn it around to get to the rest of my inks. All my original inks are still in the ctmh box I bought at the beginning 10 years ago which I actually prefer to be honest as it keeps the dust out & is easy to pick up & carry. My oxide inks are in a case my grandson was throwing out but I need a new system as I have just about outgrown the case which came with two microphones in it originally, so it isn't large but it is beautifully crafted. I recently had to take my distress oxide inks out of the case & put them into an icecream container as a temporary measure!! 🤣 I can see that I am going to have to reshuffle some things so that I can add this new shelving system to my room.

This is a great video, thanks for some great ideals with storage and labelling, however i have tried the 'dome' shape blending sponge and you have to really push it into the space which isn't ideal so i would use the flat blending foams as you mentioned. They make the ink pad a lot more flat for storing. 🙂
