Nicole's DIY idea for distress ink pads

I posted earlier today a post on how Nupur had made a tutorial on how to make a DIY ink pad holder. Then i got a message from Nicole sharing her posts from three years ago. I am not implying that one copied the other, I know sometimes people come up with the exact same ideas without knowledge of each other, but since the dates are quite different I have reedited the post to include first Nicole's ideas.

Nicole made a tutorial 3 years ago on how to make the distress ink pad holder. Click here for the blog post.

Now Nicole has improved the idea and the Stampin Up ink pad shelves looks like above (made of grey card board). Click here for the blog post.

And a bigger one here.

And this is Nupur's version.

A good DIY alterantive

 You all remember this?

Well I saw this idea on Pinterest from Sueli on how she stores her clear stamps. But I do think it would also work for Thickers.

Using cardboard boxes and then make them all pretty.

You can see all the details here.
