Hey card-making friends.  I have a new video to share today, Spellbinders Cardstock Swatching and Storage.  I’ve had lots of questions about the dies and how to put them together after my blog post last week, so I turned on the video camera and went through the steps for you.  Then, I share how I like to store my cardstock.  I don’t have a lot of room to spread out in my studio, so I’m always looking for the most efficient and effective way to store my cardstock and scraps, and this method has been working super well for me.

Creating the swatch petals also allows me to see all my cardstock colors and choose the color palette for my cards without pulling out all my cardstock.

Affiliate links are used throughout this post at no additional cost to you.  This allows me to keep bringing you content.  I appreciate your support.

In the video I walk you through how to cut and glue together the petals and the color swatch wheel, as well as how to stamp the cardstock names.

I didn’t have the Color Swatch Wheel finished in the video, because I wanted to show you how it goes together, so here are 3 pictures showing you how you can stamp all the cardstock names at the same time using your Misti.

Spellbinders Cardstock Swatching and Storage – Stamping 6 cardstock names at once.

1 – secure the Color Swatch Wheel on the Misti with a magnet.

2 – Lay down all the color stamps.  Close the Misti lid, then open it again and ink up the stamps with VersaFine Clair Nocturn ink.

3 – Close the lid and lightly press on each name to transfer the ink.

The two die sets I’m using are Left – The Color Swatch Petal Etched Dies and Right – the Color Swatch Wheel Etched Dies.

and the Color Swatch Names Clear Stamp Set is a separate item

Here’s today’s video Spellbinders Cardstock Swatching and Storage

– walking you through not only the swatching process, but how I package and store my Cardstock.

As promised in the video, here is an image of behind my chair at my worktable, where I store my cardstock.  I have a wall of the white cubes from Michaels, and I store my cardstock on end inside the paper cubes.

The SHOP TICKET HOLDERS I use are from Amazon and you can see them here in my Amazon Store, however, I have also linked some you get get from Simon Says Stamp and Scrapbook.com

The reason I ask for that specific info is the system that tracks the sales only gives us a dollar amount and company name, we do not know who made the sale.
