SPRING CLEAN your craft space! Organization tips and tricks!
Hello crafty friends, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you! With the start of a season, one of my favorite things to do is to freshen up my home (especially my creative space) with a bit of organizing. In this video, I will be sharing five different storage products from Simon and how I use them in my craft room to help keep my space tidy and organized.
Simon’s exclusive Blending Brush Holder is a must-have on my desk for not only brushes but for many other reasons too! I have multiples of this holder in my space for things like tools and even markers. Karin markers fit beautifully in this holder, keeping them sorted by color and easy to reach for while I color.
I also utilize the Pawsitively Everything Clear Storage Boxes throughout my craft room. I’ve shared many ways to use these already, but some of my most recent organization uses for these boxes include holding sequins and storing gem stickers! For the gem stickers, I also further sort each pack by placing each sheet into a Pawsitively Everything Clear Pocket so that I always know which set the gems came from.
I’ve always struggled to find the best way to sort and store my Copic marker refills. Recently I discovered that they fit remarkably well inside the Pawsitively Everything Clear Storage Boxes! I’ve been using this method for a while now and have really enjoyed the convenience of having all my refills sorted by color.
Simon’s versatile Mesh Bags are another staple in my craft space. I especially love using them for sorting products, including each of the monthly card kits that Simon releases. In addition, I also use these bags to help me store half-finished pieces. When I craft, I often change my mind and have pieces that I don’t actually end up using on a finished card. I never throw them away; those items get placed into a Mesh Bag that I can later reference and scavenge from another time.
I go into further detail on all of these products in the video below; so be sure to grab your favorite beverage and relax while I show you how I am organizing my craft room this year!

Splish Splash! Interactive Ink Blended Encouragement Card: Crafty with Caly
Hi friends! Happy Sunday! We’re sending some positive vibes your way! I hope you can feel it! Read on (and be sure to watch the video!) to learn all the details of this gorgeous interactive card by Caly Person! Enjoy!
Hi, everyone! It’s Caly with you today and I’m sharing a fun interactive card that requires no coloring – just ink-blending! I don’t know about you, but I spend A LOT of time coloring with Copic markers and watercoloring. It’s really nice to be able to avoid it for a change of pace!
My card today uses the Be a Mermaid set and the bigger tail moves back and forth on a pendulum mechanism! It’s easy to do so be sure to check out the video below to see how it’s done!
WATCH THE VIDEO:
I started my card by stamping and embossing the tails and the ocean waves onto white cardstock using white embossing powder for an emboss-resist look. It looks like a hot mess when you’re adding color, especially for images (as opposed to backgrounds), but once the image is die-cut, it looks great!
After adding ink to the tails with purple, blues and teals, I wiped the excess ink off the embossed areas using a cloth. Next, I ink-blended the waves with teals and blues. For the waves, since the die cuts around the top and bottoms, you can do some partial die-cutting to cut just the top, or you can fussy-cut with scissors. Then, I also ink-blended a background.
The pendulum can be made in different ways. Be sure to check out the video to see how I create mine. You’ll need a weight of some sort at the bottom of the pendulum mechanism. A lot of people like to use pennies. I used a washer. The washer is adhered to the bottom end of a piece of acetate and the swinging image will adhere to the top. What keeps the pendulum anchored in place is a fixed point between the image and the weight. I punched a hole in my acetate (make sure the acetate is wider than the hole) at the center. You can use a small circle die, too. This hole is the opening in which a fixed button or circle foam will sit to anchor the mechanism in place.
Once my pendulum is put together, I can layer my waves over it to hide the mechanism and complete my scene with the second mermaid tail. I finished with an embossed sentiment and some sequins from the Morning Glory mix. I hope you like it!
