Organize It Friday - Tip #6: Organizing Stampin' Blends

 

Today I am sharing how I store and organize my Stampin' Blends.  I purchased this marker cart a long time ago and I love the way the markers lay flat in their own slot.  This cart can grow with my collection by adding more rows.  I made the labels in a PowerPoint file and printed on full sheet label sheets.  then I punched them out using a 1/4" circle punch.

I bought this marker cart on Amazon.  It's the Crafter's Companion SPECN-6 Spectrum Noir Marker Storage Trays, 6/Pack.
