Tim Holtz Distress Mini Ink Pad Bundle Kits 4–6 — 12 Stackable 1"×1" Pads for Blending & Stamping

A compact bundle of 12 stackable Tim Holtz Distress Mini Ink pads in Kits 4, 5 and 6, designed for detailed blending, stamping and portable colouring. Discover a curated trio of Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Mini Ink Pad Kits — numbers 4, 5 and 6 — offering twelve richly hued 1" x 1" pads that fit small tools, travel craft kits and tight stenciling. Each kit groups four complementary shades chosen to mix, layer and age paper projects with the Distress colour family. The raised felt surface makes precise application simple on cards, tags and mixed-media pieces while keeping the same colour chemistry as full-size Distress inks.

How do these minis perform compared with full-size Distress pads?

The mini Distress pads use the same ink formulation as the larger pads, so colours, blending behavior and re-ink compatibility remain consistent. Their raised felt faces are ideal for direct application in small areas and for use with mini blending tools, offering control without sacrificing the Distress finish.

• Same Distress ink chemistry as full-size pads for consistent colour matching
• Raised felt pad for accurate, small-area inking and edge work
• Fits mini accessories like the mini ink blending tool (sold separately)
• Easy to re-ink with standard Distress re-inkers

Which colours come in Kits 4, 5 and 6 and what looks do do they create?

Each kit contains four thoughtfully paired shades that cover soft pastels, classic distress neutrals, bright primaries and vintage tones. Kit 4 leans soft and floral; Kit 5 mixes bold and weathered hues; Kit 6 gives you warm, cool and rustic options for aged or layered effects.

• Kit 4: Spun Sugar, Scattered Straw, Evergreen Bough, Shaded Lilac — delicate, springtime tones
• Kit 5: Barn Door, Pumice Stone, Faded Jeans, Peeled Paint — saturated and muted contrasts

How portable and practical are these mini pads for crafting on the go?
