Storage Ideas With Kathe: Stampin Up Ink Rack Holder

I love local businesses, and I love Storage Ideas!!!

Local business “Faith Pocock Craft Studio” has come up with a great and aesthetically pleasing idea for storing your Classic Stampin’ Up Ink Pads.

Their Stampin’ Up Ink Rack Holder will hold 48 Ink Pads, either of the older style Ink Pads, as well as the new design, released 1^st June 2018.

As an added bonus, it will also store your “Tsukineko” Ink Pads, i.e. StazOn, VersaMark and Memento.

I purchased two sets, with the option of purchasing another set when the rest of my coveted “New” Ink Pads arrive.

My first Ink Pad Rack Holder that I assembled, took a couple of hours to make.

The second time round, I had learnt from my mistakes, and I used Tombow Liquid Adhesive in all of the joints, and held the Rack together with copious amounts of rubberbands till the glue dried!

To place an order with “Faith Pocock Craft Studio”, check out their website here and Trade Me here.
Please also take your time to visit the “Faith Pocock Craft Studio” Facebook page here.

When ordering, please mention the Order Reference as “JorjaRose”.

I can’t wait to see your Ink Pads stored, please share on Instagram with #jorjarosenz

“Create With Kathe” Crafty News …

Hi There My Crafty Friend,

Happy New Year, and Happy Sale-A-Bration + Happy Occasions Catalogue!!!

On the home front …

My youngest {and baby daughter} JorjaRose {now 13}, started College this morning, and my son Reilly starts back tomorrow, in his 3^rd year of College!!!

I know they both will do super well with school {again!!!} this year, and I felt a tad misty eyed this morning!

Anyways … on with the show …

“Still livin’ life and being a dare-devil!!!”

Well, I started the New Year with sass and attitude!

Hello New Year, Hello First Accident Of The New Year ...

I fractured my Ribs playing Back-Yard Cricket on the 3^rd of January!

And just last week after Class {Thursday night}, I fell asleep in my Hammock {in the Lounge}, and woke up very startled and confused, as had fallen out of the Hammock, landing in my now bruised left ear and left arm!!!

Over the Summer Hols, I have placed a few new articles …

Storage Ideas With Kathe: Jewellery Storage, Oh My …

Jewellery Storage, Oh My …

So I have been searching in vain recently for my {lost} set Jewellery Pliers.

After spending many hours sitting on the floor of my Craft Room searching, I decided the only option I had left was to buy another set …

Little did I know that this would set me back $24.95!!!

So recently I shopped at my favourite store, Jacqui e, and boy did I get some bargains, like a Belt for $1.30, down from $25, and Scarfs for $3.50 down from $40!!!

I also purchased a new Necklace and Bracelet set.

The Necklace was $19.95, down from $39.95, and the Bracelet was $12.95, down from $24.95

Whenever I purchase a new set of costume jewellery, I always purchase 2 Bracelets, that way I can pull apart {or deconstruct} the 2^nd Bracelet, and make a pair of Earrings {or two}!

So yesterday I set to in my Craft Room making some Jewellery, and this is the result …

While I was making some jewellery, I thought you may be interested to see how I store my rather large collection …

The Necklaces hanging are hung on double hooks, which I designed myself. They are stored in my Closet/Wardrobe, that way you can’t see them if you were a burglar looking in through my bedroom window!

I have a rather large collection of Rings, which I store in a container on my Dresser, along with my Earring collection.

Please bear {beer/bare???} in mind that this is 20 years of collecting jewellery, I hate to show you my MakeUp collection!!!

Have I inspired you to try and make some jewellery too?!!

Sending paper-hugs your way,

Kathe.
