Inkpads and Storage

So what do I like doing other than buying stamping/art stuff and creating papercrafts? Apart from reading industry magazines (Stamping & Papercraft, Somerset Studio, etc.), I absolutely love sorting all my toys. :D Actually it’s probably more correct to say I have an on-going love affair with storage – and my lovely Tupperware lady (hi Kim!) would no doubt agree. LOL.

Lots of people have asked me about my storage preference, especially for inkpads and ribbons, so here’s a photo of some of my inkpads (some being the operative word). Note that the locker has been photographed open, there’s two slide locks on the doors to open close and they slide into the side of the locker when not being used, which is why you can’t see the doors in this photo.

Note how wonderfully the Stampin’ Up! inkpads (only $9.95 ;) ) fit into this great Inkpad Locker. Actually I have two of these inkpad lockers and I’m looking to buy a third one as they also fit Versamark, Brilliance, Adirondack, Memories and Tim Holtz inkpads too (you can just see the Adirondack pads up the very top of the photo in my second inkpad locker). The cool thing is in the top section of the locks there’s two trays which fit two packs of the Stampin’ Up! markers perfectly.

So where do you get it? I bought mine from Craftainers and if you look carefully on the right hand side of the photo you’ll see that I also have the ribbon locker too. The shelves on the ribbon locker are adjustable so you can use any size ribbon spool you have. Very cool. :D

Did I tell you I love storage? One day I might show you my shoes and boots storage. ;)

Anyone else out there with a storage fetish?

Edited 2 years later to add:  Please note that the manufacturering of this storage locker as ceased.  It’s been over a year since I’ve seen this inkpad locker sold in the shops.

  1. Definately have a storage fetish myself. Love things with lids. In shops, I have to open all the lids and look inside, even though i know they are empty…. As for these ink storage lockers, have looked a couple of times, and they keep saying out of stock… Will own 1 or 2 soon enough!!
    Love Cheryl

  2. Yes, Angela, I definitly have a storage fettish! I have seen these containers before hand have been deciding if I need them and now that I have seen yours full, I definitly need 1, 2, 3????

  3. Hey Ang,
    Do they come with 6 or 12 shelves/drawers?
    The ones on the craftainers website only have 6 but your pic shows 12 ?? what’s with that ??

  4. Hi Angela,

    Great storage! I noticed the ink colour names are on the end of your ink pads – did you label them yourself? I’m a demo in Canada (Toronto) and ours don’t have that. Just wondered:)

  6. Hi Angela
    I realise this is a post from quite a while ago … but I really like these ink pad lockers … and checked out the Craftainers website … but can’t seem to find them? Do you think they might be gone? I found the ribbon locker … and an accessory locker … but no stamp pad locker? Can you help? Please please … don’t take any time searching … I can try more of that … I don’t mean to take any of your precious time … I just thought you might have a quick idea of where I might get one? Thanks heaps, Andrea
