How Can You Store Additional Ink Pads?

From Ink Pad Mess to Bliss

Ink Pad Carousel Add-Ons let you expand and customize your ink pad storage as your collection grows. Mix and match Ink Pad Carousels for Slim, Distress®, and Altenew® inks with an Ink Pad Carousel Add-On for Slim, Distress®, or Altenew®, or add more storage for the same ink pad size to create a setup that fits your collection.

You may have every color of Distress® Oxide, but only a handful of slim ink pads from Gina K. Designs or Taylored Expressions, plus a growing set of Altenew® Fresh Dye inks. How do you give every collection a home without setting up another storage area?

Ink Pad Carousel Add-Ons let you store Slim, Distress®, and Altenew® ink pads together by stacking an Add-On on top of a full Ink Pad Carousel.

Whether you love blending with Distress® Oxides, stamping with your favorite slim ink pads, or building your Altenew® Fresh Dye ink collection, you can keep your collections together and ready for your next project.

Which Ink Pad Carousel Should You Start With?

Choose a full Ink Pad Carousel for Slim, Distress®, or Altenew® for your largest collection. If most of your pads are Distress® Inks and Oxides, start with the Ink Pad Carousel for Distress®. If slim ink pads fill your shelves, start with the Ink Pad Carousel for Slim. If Altenew® Fresh Dye inks are your favorites, start with the Ink Pad Carousel for Altenew®.

Already have a full Ink Pad Carousel for Slim, Distress®, or Altenew®? Use it as your starting point and choose an Add-On for the pads that still need a home. Full Ink Pad Carousels are sized for different ink pad collections:

  • Ink Pad Carousel for Slim holds 72 slim ink pads.
  • Ink Pad Carousel for Altenew® holds 120 round ink pads.
  • Ink Pad Carousel for Distress® + Cube holds 72 Distress® ink pads plus 72 mini cubes.
  • Ink Pad Carousel for Distress® (for IKEA®) holds 96 ink pads.

Instead of creating an entirely separate storage area for a smaller collection, an Ink Pad Carousel Add-On lets you build up from the carousel you already have.

What If You Need More Room for the Same Ink Pads?

Those new colors can join the collection you already have, so you can spend less time deciding where to put them and more time putting them to use.
