The Problem Solver: Instead of having little stacks of inks all over my desk that I have to unstack to find the right color, I can see every color right through the clear top!
Each tin holds up to 12 Mini Distress Ink pads and includes
a removable clear plastic divider for easy accessibility.
The Stress Reliever: I admit it. I never got around to printing the tiny labels Ranger provides for the side of the ink case. Now I can let it go and be free of organizational guilt (crossing that off my to-do list right now).
So you might wonder why the colors are not in a pretty rainbow?? Well, I am choosing to keep my inks in the color combination that comes in the sets Tim designed. As I have mentioned before, the colors are put together for a reason so why not give myself an instant color group that works together. Each set also is marked with the set number on the bottom for quicker clean up.
The Travel Mate: No more rubber bands around the stack when I travel with these little guys. Into the tin and off I go. I was going to say, "just take the colors you want" but that's kind of a ridiculous statement (because I need them all with me) so just disregard that idea.
Tim sent me an extra
Ranger is also releasing 2 other products today,
Texture Paste
for building dimensional textures onto a variety of surfaces.
Dries to a matte finish
and
Distress Specialty Stamping Paper
20 sheets 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" pre-cut card sized sheets.
A matte coated paper to use with Distress Inks, Stains, Markers and paint.
Be sure to stop by Tim's blog today.

It's an AWESOME idea!
ReplyDeleteI have been really feeling stressed lately and could use some relief.:D
ReplyDeleteLove the minis - and now I have a good excuse to actually PURCHASE them - because STORAGE is a BIG issue at my studio! I'm on my 4th LARGE inkpad storage unit now, and I just could not see my way clear to getting TWO inkpads of each color - but now I have been ENABLED! (Thanks, Tim!)
ReplyDeleteI love your names Paula! Cause let's face it, you can guarantee that if you don't take all of these babies with you when you are out and about creating, the one you need will be at home on your desk! Have Distress Inks will travel I say!!
ReplyDeleteThese are so fun! I am so excited and I agree, your names are much more clever>.<
ReplyDeleteHave a fun day!~kim
Awesome giveaway Paula! I love how Tim's mind works!
ReplyDeleteI NEED one of the "Travel Mates" to put my mini's in when we go to Japan in Sept.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get my grubby little mitts on the Texture Paste too!
Leave it to Tim to find a solution for carrying around our fave lil minis
ReplyDeleteI'm, yes we need these. Love your names Paula. Great idea to keep them in release groups. Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love these. Now I need them all.
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny, that's exactly what I said when I saw these-PROBLEM SOLVED!! I so miss the old distress ink storage tin and this one is so much smaller, and cuter!
ReplyDeleteLol these are fantastic. Love all your names.
ReplyDeleteLove these, so hope I can find them in my area. I don't think Tim has ever had a bad idea, I love all of his products. Thanks for the chance to win this goodie.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! You can never have too much storage options.
ReplyDeleteAll my problems would be solved......I'd have no stress....and be able to travel with my mate. You and Tim are geniuses! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAt first I resisted the tiny inks - I mean I have all the large sizes, so why did I need those? Then I saw what you and others did with them and realized, okay, I need to start collecting them. Same thing when I saw the tins. But you know, you're right. It IS a pain unstacking the little guys so I might as well order them now. Resistance is futile!
ReplyDeleteI love those little tiny inks. They are just too cute!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great problem solver! I love these tins and LOVE LOVE LOVE the minis! Great for travel- and I can have ALL my favorite colors right with me!

ReplyDeleteThese are terrific, and are desperately needed.
ReplyDeleteGreat storage.
ReplyDeleteI just finally bought my first set mini inks the other day. There were just too many cool projects out there and I couldn't pretend I could do it with the big pads any longer. My four year old was a big champion of them too. How could I resist her saying "but mum, they are the perfect size for me!" She would love the storage containers. They would fit right on the shelf behind her desk.
ReplyDeleteI like how Tim showed to store the blending foam under the ink pad. Works out pretty swell. thanks as always for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI like how the divider comes out so the tin is even more versatile!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful idea! These little guys seem to get lost on my craft table all the time! I am also looking forward to trying the texture paste! Each brand is different and I love trying out all the textures. Thanks so much for a chance to win!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I LOVE to organize my art supplies.....Pick me, Pick me.....please!!
ReplyDeleteThis IS a great idea! Really like the clear lid so you can see just what is in there!
ReplyDeleteOhhh! Great idea! Such an easy way to organize and transport them! I would love to win these tins.... and the specialty stamping paper..... and the texture paste!!!!!!! Ok, I admit...I would love to win it all!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love these. I didn't think I needed the mini inks, but found them soooooo useful. Now this wonderful container...Gotta have it!
ReplyDeleteLove the tin, love the names! And I'm really thankful these products are coming out now, I was bummed last weekend when I bought the last item from the last release new neat stuff to anticipate! Yay!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect match! To have the mini inks AND a great, easily visible, storage system! So easy to keep the inks handy on my design desk!
ReplyDeleteI am fond of travel mate, I also opt to keep mine in the set they came in, since I am color challenged, but most of all, I just love the mimis! Oh so glad to have the specialty paper precut, and the texture paste looks really interesting. I have a feeling my must have list is just beginning.
ReplyDeleteThe only words that i can say: I need these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BArbarayaya
ReplyDeleteI like this system, the ease of access and portability. I imagine a blending foam would fit under each ink pad too.
ReplyDeleteNeed need need!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect to take the stress away and be organized. thank you
ReplyDeleteGreat solution
ReplyDeleteOoooooh! Gotta have these!
ReplyDeleteSo cute...must have...
ReplyDeleteThose tins are a definately must have!
ReplyDeleteHe could called them "just another genius idea by Tim". I have a bunch of them and yes they are wonderful!! Also if you have any of the Hero Arts minis they will work for them too.
ReplyDeleteVery good solution !!
ReplyDeleteLove the mini storage tin...now I need to complete my set!
ReplyDeleteWonderful problem solver... I especially love them all tied up with ribbon!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I could manage to keep mine in the set color groups 'tho... I obsessively color sort all my supplies... Pink , red, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, tan, Brown, white, black. Always in order... I'm crazy that way!
With the tin I could buy the mini inks. Still new to using inks but having a ball.
ReplyDeleteWhat a concept! That boy thinks of everything :)
ReplyDeleteLove this! Now I need them all!
ReplyDeletethis really gets my distress level soaring , oh we just love to ink away those blues, greens, yellows , reds .. oh the colours of the rainbow .. he he .. oh we do love time crafting with tim :) x
ReplyDeleteAll Awesome products....love the tiny tins...great concept and easy to view, and use.
ReplyDeleteOh crap, they've come out with the great tin, and Tim shows how to put a pad under each mini! I can no longer resist! Pick me, please, pick me!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fabulous idea, a little tin storage for the minis and you are totally right I'll need more then one ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove them!
ReplyDeleteLike everyone else above, I NEED these, they are such a clever storage idea and I love the Stress Reliever title! I also love that you can store the little pads right underneath the the ink pad too!
ReplyDeleteI SOOOOOO need those little problem solvers of having a place to store those minis.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, the post from my phone didn't happen so I'm back again :) Love, love, love the new releases…these tins a super cute and practical and the texture paste is calling my name too. Great release for my birthday :)

ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Always so impressed with the range of products! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteLove these storage tins, a must have!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the little metal tins!
ReplyDeleteI just bought some of the mini ink pads and was wondering where to store them. The new tins sound great. They also look great to store other do-dads, too. Would love to have one of them. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I'd be tempted to make it into some crafty shadow box display or something. LOL....But how handy is that! Handy Dandy.
ReplyDeleteI NEED this tin and WANT to fill it just like you have with the colors in their groupings! It's great...flat, visible storage!
ReplyDeleteOh my!! I kept trying to convince myself that I do not need those mini pads but after seeing the tin and reading your post, I Gotta Have Them!
ReplyDeleteHey Hey Paula.
ReplyDeleteI bet you've heard that a time or two, right?
I would LOVE to own the tin. Oh yeah - we need it all, don't we? Anything "t!m" works for me. Thank you for your generosity - and Tim and Ranger, too!
SuZeQ
Storing my minis in the Mini Storage Tins is a given. Now to decide between storing them by color like Tim or by group like Paula? Hmmm! I may try Paula's method first.
ReplyDeleteWell, I've got 3 sets of the minis so far, and have ordered the rest that are available. The tins do make a lot of sense. I have mine stacked in their original configurations and used a white paint pen to write the color name on the side of each. That works for now, but these tins would definitely be a plus for taking them with me. I'd love to win one!!
ReplyDeleteIt's a brilliant idea. Now a great way to store and transport my mini pads!! I'd love to win one!
ReplyDeleteYes, I need one or 3 of these tins!
ReplyDeleteGoodness me, what a wonderful idea these Mini Ink storage tins are. Sooooo looking forward to them hitting the shops in the UK, better still would be to win one !!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the new releases! The mini ink take alongs are brilliant, and I have to have several!!!! I too never printed my labels....the shame!!! Thanks so much for giving us all a chance to win! You rock!
ReplyDeleteSo many minis ... just not enough crafting hours in a day! LOVE all the new inks and what a GREAT idea for storage!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for storage!!! Love it!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect solution to the little pads. Have to add more things to my wish list!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun and brilliant tins! And I can't wait to try the paste!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderfull idea; so much better than stacking and then having them tip all over the place. What will be next? I cna't wait.
ReplyDeleteI just watched Tim's video and now I want several of these too. I totally understand your want/need points in your blog today.
ReplyDeleteThe problem solver... love it.
ReplyDeleteI love to be an organized person (which I have a hard time doing) and this would be a great thing to have!
ReplyDeleteAnd it's just so doggone cute all filled with the ink pads--like a box of chocolates only it's crafty goodies with no calories!
