2012-2013 Stampin' Up! Ink Pad Labels

On June 1st, the NEW 2012-2013 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog goes live, and we'll have 5 new additions to our In Color collection. I made some labels for my ink pads a long time ago...you can see how I use them in the picture below. Here is the updated file of color labels for the 2012-2013 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog:

Even though the new Firm Foam ink pads that we'll have, include a nifty little color name sticker, the print is not black, nor is it bold enough for me. So, I use the included sticker across the top of the front, PLUS I add my black and bold stickers under that...in the same place as pictured above.

I print out the labels, then cover them (a sticker maker provides a great thin laminate covering), and then punch each color name out with the Word Window Punch. Then peel and stick the label onto the end of the ink pad...and because of the laminate, you can just wipe the label clean if you smear ink on it!

The color names are big and bold so you can easily see them across the table. There are also some color collection names at the end of the sheet of labels, if you'd like to use them. You may find it handy to print out a second sheet of the color names and use those for the file tabs, containers, or shelves of your card stock.

While I cannot sell you the ink pad rack I have, Stampin' Up! does offer one that rotates 360 degrees like mine, with four columns, each with 12 spaces for ink pads (to hold 48 total), called the Color Caddy. Unlike my behemoth, the Color Caddy only requires a 10" footprint to spin freely, and is about 16-1/2" tall.

Ink Pad Labels - Color Collection Labels

With the impending release of the new Stampin' Up! catalog (July 1st, 2011), we'll have 5 new additions to our In Color collection. I made some labels for my ink pads a long time ago...you can see how I use them in the pictures below. Here is the updated file of color labels for the Stampin' Up! 2011-12 Idea Book & Catalog:

You may find it handy to print out a second sheet of the color names and use those for the file tabs, containers, or shelves of your card stock. Below you'll see what I did with my In Color ink pads (and any extra pads I have lying around), and there's a basket on top of the two boxes with my acrylic blocks in it.

While I cannot sell you the ink pad rack I have, Stampin' Up! does offer one that rotates 360 degrees like mine, with four columns, each with 12 spaces for ink pads (to hold 48 total), called the Color Caddy. Unlike my behemoth, the Color Caddy only requires a 10" footprint to spin freely, and is about 16-1/2" tall. AND you can purchase an Extender Kit pictured on the right below, which will add 4 columns of 3 spaces each (12 more total), so you can add in all of your In Color ink pads and a few of your favorite Craft ink pads!

Organizing Ink Pads

I've been spending a lot of time trying to finish "spring cleaning" and get reorganized with the release of the new Stampin' Up! catalog, especially with the color renovations. I made some labels for my ink pads...you can see how I use them in the picture below.

Click HERE to download the label sheet (uses Avery 5160 label template).

I print them out, then cover them with clear self-adhesive laminate on the top, and then punch each one out with the Word Window Punch (119857, $15.95). Then peel and stick the label onto the end of the ink pad...and because of the laminate, you can just wipe the label clean if you smear ink on it!

There are also some card stock colors at the end of the sheet of labels, so you can print out a second sheet and use these for the file tabs, containers, or shelves of your card stock.  The names of the color collections are also included on the label sheet, so you can place them at the top of the color collection and keep them all together. Below you'll see what I did with my In Color ink pads (and any extras I have lying around), and there's a basket on top of the two boxes with my acrylic blocks in it.

While I cannot sell you the ink pad rack I have, Stampin' Up! does offer one that rotates 360 degrees like mine, with four columns, each with 12 spaces for ink pads (to hold 48 total), called the Color Caddy (104335, $59.95). Unlike my behemoth, the Color Caddy only requires a 10" footprint to spin freely, and is about 16-1/2" tall. AND you can purchase an Extender Kit (107063, $14.95) pictured on the right below, which will add 4 columns of 3 spaces each (12 more total), so you can add in your In Color ink pads for this year, as well as the ones that are coming out next year!
