For those who either made or bought the wall mounted or shelf set storage unit for stamps, how many slots did you get?
DH has made my stamp/die organizer for my 3 tiered cart and now I am thinking of asking him to make a stamp page storage container. I currently have 19 stamp pads (16 SSS, 2 Memento, 1 white stamp pad by I forget).
I use stamps here and there and would like to get 2 more red, 2 more orange, and 1 more yellow. Maybe 1 or 2 more purple. So total of 25 or 26 stamp pads.
I currently have my stamp pads in a Sterilite container in the bottom of my 3 tier cart. And it works but I would love to have them more accessible.
If anyone has photos to share of what their system looks like, I would greatly appreciate any to be posted.
I have my long desk and then 2 shelves. So it would most likely sit on the shelf that is in the middle. There is about 12.5" of space between that shelf and the top shelf. I do have 1 Snoopy, my Mahomes Funko Pop, a Peanuts cartoon sketch that are permanent there. I want to move my rolls of washi tape to my cart so where that holder is now I can put that stamp organizer.

I have a homemade/custom one. It was designed to hold 70 square distress ink pads. (7 rows of 10). Except for Distress Oxides, I mostly use ink cubes, and those I have in trays. For the few full sized ink pads I do have I have this Totally Tiffany ink storage. A couple of these might work well for you. It says that it holds 28, but mine holds 24 SSS inks. There is a SSS coupon code listed on another thread for $7 off, which is basically shipping in the US. (ETA: coupon expires on 12/31) |

I built mine to hold 60 ink pads, 5 columns with 12 rows.

Personally I would be looking at storage with some room to grow. Even if it is just a few more ink pads than the ones you already have in mind. Years ago my dad made me a 36 slot unit and I outgrew it really fast. Now I am using it for other things because no way I'm going to let my dad's work go to waste. Here is what a 36 slot unit looks like. Maybe you can have yours done for 32 if you think 36 is too much. Or whatever other multiple # works for the space you have. www.organizemore.com/products/36-ink-pad-organizer-fits-ikea-kallax |

I just turned on my computer for the first time in a week. Here is a pic of my ink storage. I have 3 of these and they are pretty much full. I think I have 3 open spaces. I have the pieces to make 2 more but I don't really have room for them at the moment.  |

I was using two of these rotating organizer things (meant more for your bathroom or vanity). They worked fine, but it was a pain to unstack the inks to get to the one you really wanted.  I've moved to these units from Organize More. You can have them on your desk or wall mount them. Each holds 30 pads.  |

And I just moved mine into one of those rotating organizers.

Thanks for the photos and posts everyone!
Going to think on it some more and decide what option I want to have made or buy.

my stampin up pads are in their 48-pad carousel. my TH distress 3x3 pads are in an iris drawer standing on their side. i made carboard dividers so there is a slot for each pad. i know they say the ink is suspended and won't settle to one side but i flip them every few months just in case.

MDScapaholic, are the HeroArts little ink cubes really good? Do they need re-inking a lot, or are they pretty juicy?
