Distress Ink Labels

I have always wanted to do this, but just never took the time...until now.  Maybe it was because my husband built me another wall shelf so I could see things rather than digging in drawers.  This one is deeper than the last so I had the opportunity to house things that take up more depth like the Distress ink.

I used Avery label #5267 that I bought here and made a list of the names.

Once printed (I did use a laser printer, not ink jet), I labeled each ink pad, then colored with the label once it was on the plastic case.  The inked looked very dark when I did it but the next day they were nice and dry and very readable.  Looks like I am still missing a few of the seasonal colors...that gives a girl something to hope for, right?
let's see, I need gathered twigs, seedless, preserves, ripe persimmon, mowed lawn....9 colors missing in all.  That is a bit too many to remember, so I used the app on my phone to check off the colors I still need.  Super Easy.

And look how good they look on the shelf!

I printed 5 extra copies of labels...if you have a lot of Distress Inks and you would like a set please email me (paula@2gypsygirls.com) and I will send one out to you (first come, first serve). 

The pre-printed label sheets are all spoken for...if you would like my Word Document to print your own I would be happy to send that you but remember, you will need to print with a laser printer so the name will not smear when you add the Distress Ink to the label.

cheers for a great day,
