Ink Racks / Craft Racks Part II

Thank you to everyone who has emailed me - I'm so overwhelmed by the response - we must all need a lot of organising !!


Here's a quickie web page for them CLICK HERE with all the sizes, prices etc.

Here's a few more photos of just how much you can store on these ...

Double Ink Rack

Above:

Picture shows a large A3 storage box of various ink pads. Even if you stack your ink pads by type you still have to rummage to find the colour you want ! or do you empty the whole box on to your craft table ?

Why not pop them on an Ink Pad rack ? Everything in the box is now on a Double size rack - not all have been double stacked so there is still room for more. Plus there is space to put re-inkers and don't forget you can store more items on the top or why not display your craft work !

Triple Ink Rack

Above:

Pictures shows a typical craft table, with storage boxes full of embossing powders, glimmer mists and ink pads - not much room left to work ! Why not pop it all on an Ink Pad rack ? Everything in the boxes is now on a Triple size rack - not all have been double stacked and there are still some empty shelves - so there is still room for more. Plus there is space to put re-inkers and look you can store more items on the top or why not display your craft work !

Below:

Now see how much table room you have to craft on! Everything is fingertip ready to use. Or why not Wall mount it for even more table space !

Look How Much Space on the Table !!!!

Look How Much Space on the Table !!!!

To answer a few questions that have been asked :

Can I collect ? yes you are more than welcome to collect, we have workshops & a furniture showroom based in Batley, West Yorkshire.

Do they come ready assembled ? - Yes everything is fully assembled - just unwrap and start emptying those boxes !.

Are they heavy ? Weights etc are given on the link above.
For wall mounting we also include fixings. As wall types vary so much you will need to use wall plugs and screws that will be suitable for your wall type.

I have an awkward space - can you make a custom size ? Yes - just email me.

How do I label my ink pads ? - We include self adhesive labels that are just the right size - use your ink pad to colour them and stick them on the side of the ink pad - most ink pads have a space for this.

Do you make one with a ribbon spool ? - YES - Coming soon !

Keep an eye out on my Blog as throughout the process of designing these racks - we made several styles until we came up with the optimum style and sizing - so I have a couple that were draft design models in the single size.

You will be able to win one of these draft models !

Ink Racks / Craft Racks are here ...........

Well I have nattered my other half to the bone - poor lad must be sick of me and ink pads by now and I think I am officially banned from our workshops as I seem to have put their normal production schedule in backwards motion !

These are what the ink pad racks are going to be like and for the small size of them ( only 8cm deep so won't clog anyones desk up or they can be hung on the wall ) - they will hold loads !!! Each single shelf will hold either 4 full sized ink pads double stacked, 6 distress ink pads double stacked, Adirondacks 4 full sized ink pads double stacked, yes even when the ink pads are double stacked you can slide each one out with ease .... I think the pictures will show just how much you can fit on these and not just for ink pads as the shelves are removable so other items can be stored. I've even sourced the right sized labels for inking and popping on the ink pads for ID.


Single: 12 shelves

Will hold a minimum of 48 ink pads - plus space for re-inkers / pens etc
Width 31cm , H 56cm , D 8cm





Double: 24 shelves


Will hold a minimum of 96 ink pads - plus space for re-inkers / pens etc
Width 56cm , H 56cm , D 8cm






Triple: 36 shelves


Will hold a minimum of 144 ink pads - plus space for re-inkers / pens etc
Width 81cm , H 56cm , D 8cm




So if anyones interested just let me know as they are going to be on sale shortly.

Graphicus Challenge - March - ' Yellow & Sing '

Just a couple of cards to go with the Graphicus blog challenge:

All the items used except for card stock are from Graphicus:

The first is using the ' Good Deeds ' themeplate. The background is Glimmer misted in Honey Dew and Lemon Zest from the ' Spring Fever ' set and over stamped with one of the Good Deeds stamps and a flourish stamp. The ' Tag ' is flourish embossed and glimmer misted and rubbed to deepen the effect and a couple of organza ribbons. On the front of the tag is two 2" stamped , coloured and etched ' Stampboard ' pieces. On the right the matching verse and stamp from the Good Deeds set.




The card is an A5 - ¾ fold card which just adds a little more interest than a standard gatefold. Again the back ground is coloured and stamped as above.



This next one is just another pretty card which I made as I had some card left over with the over-sprayed glimmer mist so thought why not make a quickie card .....

This one uses the Fuchsia Themeplate for the main panel and also the small fern style leaves from the Hyacinth Themeplate and the Lily Themeplate . The stamping was inked with Memento and Versafine inks, the buttercup flowerheads were highlighted with 0200 Sun Yellow Inktense Pencil. Inktense Pencils .

I do have another in the making that will tie in more with the " Sing " part of the theme ... all will be revealed shortly !
