Say goodbye to inky chaos and hello to craft room organisation! This MDF square ink pad and brush holder kit is perfect for storing your Distress Ink pads on your craft desk!
I created this because I was so tired of constantly having open inkpads on my desk piled high and with inky brushes everywhere that would get onto my cardstock and anywhere I didn't want it to be! SO annoying! (TOP TIP: If you have a magnetic craft mat add small magnets underneath to hold it in position on your mat too)
This Distress Ink Pad and Brush Holder MDF Kit is the perfect DIY storage solution for any crafty space. Designed to hold one Distress Ink pad, one blending brush, and a small detail brush, this compact and functional organiser ensures everything stays clean and in place while you work your creative magic.
Whether you're a card maker, scrapbooker, or mixed media artist, this stackable ink pad holder is a tidy game-changer. No more cross-contamination between brushes or ink lids – each element has its own designated space, keeping your workspace spotless and your creative flow uninterrupted.

Created by Maz - I loved decorating this plaque, it's a massive 12" wide and is perfect for any door or window...
Merja - This time I created this fun and joyful tag. I used Ula Be Strong image, coloured it with alcohol markers and then fussy cut it. I used a beautiful blue paper from Spring Into Easter papers 2 set, cut it and taped it on the kraft tag I had. I drew a white frame and some spots around the patterned paper with a paint pen and added some stars with Starry Nights stencil and yellow paste. I also stamped a few blue stars with Bottoms Up stamp set. Lastly I added some yellow ribbon and taped Ula and sentiment on the tag.
Jane – Today my card does not use any digital images (although it could be achieved by using any of the amazing floral digis in the store HERE) but clear stamps from the THANKS A BUNCH set.
Leah - Yes, it's still April! That means I have another project to share with you today the Just My Type metal die set from the Polkadoodles' Sweet Moments Collection. I created a larger piece this time, using a full sheet of the Pretty Colourful papers as the main background. I also used the chipboard embellishments and the Scallop Rectangles and Tags die set from the Sweet Moments collection!
Taty- Hello creative friends! My DT inspiration for the new Mother's Day themed challenge was created with the beautiful All You need is Love dies and the Heart Wreath stencil. I created a layout to give to my mom with photos of a weekend spent together in the mountains.I used the circular die with the little hearts to frame the photos and recovered the tiny white hearts to glue them scattered on the layout. I created the frame with a black marker and the heart and the squiggles that are part of the stamp set PD7698 Every Wish
Beautiful inspiration from the team - we hope you loved looking at our gallery of makes!
