Default HOW DO YOU>>>>>>>>>>>>

organize/store your ink pads? I mainly have CTMH and a couple of other brands of ink pads, and I am having a hard time figuring out what to do with them. I know that you are to store them upside down, but in what? Is there a inexpensive way to keep them all together ?

Thanks for your help!

well, with SU new style pads you do NOT have to store them upside down, and they stack together neatly. I have mine in a tape spinner, but I know many people have cd racks as well as other rackes they keep them in. I have no idea what CTMH pads look like-sorry.

I have the SU pads, too, but I don't have anything special to organize them. Each color family stays in the box it came in. The boxes (that stand up) sit on my table beside my stamping area. I have seen some wonderful stamp pad organizers, though.... and maybe one day I will have one of those.

I hope you find something that will work for you. Good luck!!

how do you get yours to stack neatly. am i missing something. mine fall all over the place. i wish there was some type of notch in the pads where they would kind of interlock so they would stay put.

I do have some SU ones, and they stay together fine. The CTMH ones look just like the old SU Stamp pads. I need something to keep them all in. I travel alot with them.

if the CTMH pads are the same size and shape as the old SU ones, i used to keep mine in a tool box from Home Depot. It had a clear cover on the front and a handle on top. I think it was less than $15. All 48 colors fit perfect. I since sold it with all my old pads so i don't have a picture or anything. I'd suggest taking a couple of pads into Home Depot and heading for the tool box aisle.

HTH,

I store mine in the SU Color Caddy, and love it!!!!!!!!! And it also has a great top to put the re-inkers into. As well as you can store them according to the color families they are in.
So very lucky my husband bought it as a gift for me.

Hi! I store mine in a Workforce case that I got at Home Depot. It only cost me $7.00. If you can't find that, Home Depot has a lot of different storage cases that could work for CTMH stamp pads. I have attached a picture below. I also got the blue bins for holding my markers. A set of 4 was only $7.00 and the stack or can be mounted on a wall.
