Stampin Blends Storage

I totally love my Stampin Blends (alcohol markers) but I needed a way to store them, that would be easy for me to grab them when I am in the middle of a project. So I went on Amazon and found these trays that hold my Stampin Blends great. Of course Stampinup has some also, that are very nice as well, but a little more expensive, which some day I may invest in them. I needed something inexpensive for now. They sell for about $22. Obviously I need more but haven't bought more yet. I also used my label maker and labeled them, which makes it more helpful when I need a specific color for a project.

How I store my embossing powder

 For my most used embossing powders, I store them in shallow plastic containers. It makes it so much easier to use, store, and less cleanup. I simply open the lid and dip my inked image in the container. Love how easy it is to use this way.
