Hello and welcome back, everyone! I'm so excited to release our new ink pad and brush storage units for preorder. I've gotten into 3d printing because I needed to store more inks pads in a similar amount of space on my desk. We released 27 new ink colors a few months ago but I did not have any more slots available on my single row ink organizer. My beautiful new ink pads were sitting in a pile on my desk. I found that since they did not have a home, I was less prone to reaching for them because they were in haphazard pile. 

So I purchased a 3d printer and started 3d modeling some solutions. I came up with a sliding tray design for both my larger ink pads and our smaller mini ink pads. I took it a step further and designed trays for our standard sized brushes. All products released today are 3d printed. Our Free Gift Promo details are below. 

Everything released today will be a preorder and will begin shipping late January 2026. Any items placed in the same order will ship together. If you'd like other items to ship sooner, please place them in a separate order. The shipping date is subject to change but I will try our best to maintain current posted ship date/period. We appreciate your patience.

Please note that slight imperfections may be present due to nature of 3d printing manufacturing such as slight curving or specks. We will not ship any unit if these imperfections are glaringly obvious or impedes the purpose of the unit. But please be aware that these units are 3d-printed by me (Effie) and not mass produced in a factory abroad. 

If you feel you cannot overlook slight imperfections to our 3d printed products, please do not purchase these items to save you the hassle and money for return shipping these items.

The first unit I want to introduce is our Floating Trays Stamp Pad Storage Unit. This unit comes with one base with 7 slots, 7 trays that hold 6 of our ink pads and 14 label inserts (inks are NOT included). I am all about drawers and sliding trays. I will use all my supplies if they are stored in this fashion. If I have any supplies in toploading containers with lids... I tend not to reach for them. 

One complete unit stores 42 ink pads. What I ABSOLUTELY LOVE about this unit is the space saving feature. The approximate footprint of the assembled unit is 9.25in x 9.5in x 9.25in. In this square space of less than 10x10x10in, I have 42 regular sized ink pads. The economic footprint of this unit does wonders for the freeing up real estate on my craft desk. 

Also, there is no assembly required. Just slide the trays into the slots. 

Do not stack these units/bases on top of each other though. Please make sure to have these units against a wall for additional stability.

Next up is our Floating Trays Mini Ink + Brush Storage Unit!

This unit is just so cute and compact. The base has five slots. The unit will come with five trays that you can mix and match. You can choose between mini ink trays or brush trays for a total of 5 trays. If you do not leave any notes in your order on the tray quantities, the default will be two mini ink trays and three brush trays. 

This unit is also a sliding tray unit. It's very convenient to be able to reach for my brushes and ink in this front loading fashion. Each mini ink tray holds our mini ink cubes in a 4x4 orientation for a total of 16 mini inks on one tray. 

The trays have heart cutouts if you need to push your ink cubes up and out. However, the fit is loose so the mini inks will not get stuck. I just thought the heart cutouts were darling. 

The brush tray holds 6 of our standard sized brushes. These trays have raised tabs to stabilize the brushes while they're on the tray. Otherwise, they wobble... 

If you order the Mini Ink + Brush Floating Tray unit, please include in your orders notes before check out how many of each tray you want (for a total of 5). For example, 3 mini ink trays + 2 brush trays. You can choose any combination you want. If you do not leave an order note, we will send the default 2 ink trays + 3 brush trays. 

For the month of December during our Preorder period, if you order more than one Mini Ink + Brush Floating Tray unit, we will include 3 free side to side connectors with your order ($8 value). If you order two of these units, we will include 6 side to side connectors. HOWEVER, to take advantage of this promo, the mini ink + brush units must all be in the same order. This promo is only for the smaller Floating Trays Mini Ink + Brush Storage Unit, NOT for the 42 standard ink pad storage unit.

• Promo ends December 31, 2026 at 10pm. 
• Multiple mini units must be in the same order
• Promo does not apply to 42 standard ink storage
  

These side to side connectors can be purchased separately. They come in 3 pieces. 

Next up is our stackable connectors for our Floating Trays Mini Ink + Brush unit. There are 4 pieces in this collection. These are meant to be installed at the upper corners of your lower base. Then you stack a base on top of the connectors. DO NOT STACK MORE THAN TWO. Even with these connectors, you have the potential of knocking them over if you bump into them.

To ensure maximum stability, prop units up against a wall. 

• DO NOT STACK MORE THAN TWO.
• Stack at your own risk. We are not responsible for any damage for units that fall off surfaces because they are not flush against a wall.
• NO REFUNDS OR RETURNS FOR ANY UNITS THAT FALL OFF A SURFACE. Please ensure units are flush against a wall. 

Our new floating tray units should be positioned against a wall to ensure maximum stability. 

The two types of connectors cannot be used together. It's one or the other. Please shop accordingly!!

Please please please ensure that your units are stabilized by butting them up against a wall. While they are fairly stable on their own, they have the potential to get knocked over if they're nestled up against a wall. 

That is all for me today. I hope you enjoyed seeing our new storage solutions. I am excited to use these new units. Let me know if you are excited also! Everything is available for preorder now. If you add other items from outside of this release, everything will ship together. Please shop accordingly!

Please note that we are beginning our shipping blackout today. If you placed an order before today, we will ship those orders. Everything else will begin shipping on 1/7/26. Thank you for your patience and understanding. After a busy show season, I am taking a few weeks off to spend with family.
