Getting organized with your Glimmer Mist & Distress Inks

[dimasmahendra13]

great ideaa!!love it!

I just bought my first glimmer mist and don't wanna touch it until now..I'm scared for getting addicted like my addiction with disstress ink..no more addiction pleasee (stupid me)

[mrsasmithy]

Would you do a video of your very favorite glimmer mist colors?! Please!

[kimzkatz]

Wow, 83 glimmer mists! I'm jealous! I just started buying them, and am hooked. There are so many beautiful colors. Love the idea with the tags, and the ink pads also. :)

[sunshinelynable]

Hi Arlene from here in Australia...love the idea of the colour tags but I have an idea to make it easy and quick to then find the matching bottle as you have so many. I thought you could add a number to your tags then match the same number to a sticker dot to the top of each bottle and arrange the bottles in numerical order. What do you think? I had better start collecting glimmermist as I have only purchased a few from the US so far.They are far too expensive here.

Love your tutorials

This video is GREAT! i ENVY your glimmer mist collection. Being an Army wife ALL the way out in Germany I have such a hard time getting a hold of the colors I might want... So being able to see the colors sprayed is GREAT! Thank you!!!

[kayluvs2scrap]

Wow, I am so glad I found this vid, I dont know how i missed it but just to see the colors sprayed made me decide which colors i really want and those i can do without. I only have 4 bottles right now but what a great storage tip! Thanks :) hugsss, kay

[katryces]

Love this idea, Arlene!! What kind of cardstock did you use?

[narutopenguingirl]

Talk about mis-placing things! I have actually put down the card I was working on and LOST it! Now that's a messy workspace :)

[jannaviles]

Arlene, on both the GM tags and the addy labels, do you write /type out the color name first then spray/ink it? or what do you do first?

xoxo Jules:)

[mybutterflykisses12]

Hey Jules! :-) I wrote the name of the color with a permanent pen first, then GM'd it.

[OkkaHandmade]

On my last trip to states i got just one color of glimmer mist and i even didnt try it yet . Im trying organize all stuff what i bring with me from there . Lost of problems with that. Thank you for sharing that idea.

[thekimberly003]

Holy cow! I don't even have a third of the glimmer mist you have! I have like 8 colors!!! Thanks for sharing such great ideas!!

[Renskeeee]

oooooohh myy godddd. I want to have your collection of glimmer mist. I love love love all the projects you make with them. I learnt so much.

[Enastasia]

Oh, you must be a 'Mista-holic'. I did Glimmer Mist and Stickels. :) Natasha

[lovemyscrapblog]

I did the same thing works great

[paperdragonfly12]

Great orgaizing tips. Thanks for going through the GM colours ... I just got my first bottle the other week (Haunted Shadows) and I love it. And you're absolutely right ... it's addicting!

[mabymark]

OMG!!! I'm literally drooling, you're soo lucky! Maybe I'll get to the point that I need a listing of my GM, LOL! Great tip out the ink. TFS

[RachO113]

Great idea Arlene & thanks for sharing all the colour samples! If anyone hasn't got a label maker, printable labels for the Ranger inks are also available on the their web site :-)

[sweetcraftychick]

Thanks for sharing your GREAT idea, Arlene! Thanks also for sharing the different GM colors. I didn't know there were so many colors of GM ;p'. I also Iove how you labelled your TH ink pads. I need to get organized. Thanks again, *hugs* Steph ~ Happy Valentine's Day!

[sashasquashi]

i love the idea thank you so much for sharing it with us ! and all your colours the more you show the more i say wow i need more lol i love those shades thank you again !

[cimorosete]

Looks like you could have your own store there, LOL. Thanks for sharing these fabulous ideas, I didn't know that storing ink pads upside down was the way to do it.

Thanks

Treasa

[sandritaeaaaaa]

i organize my stuff every 2-3 days because i have such a small space so i totally get what you're saying.

tfs and i adore your handwriting!!

[iluvtojournal]

Great tips for helping get organized. I am yet to buy "Glimmer Mist" but now I know what is ahead.

[NatalieBramasole]

Great idea,sooooooooooooo much,pffffffffffffff

to expensive to me.........lol..............i have 4 and i think it is very difficult to choose witch one you like and i can imaging how difficult it is when you get in the "got-a-have-circle" of the glimmermist.

But i like the idea very much,thanks for sharing,Arlene,you have soooooo much to share(about Technics and ideas) Thank you

warm big hugs ;-)

Thanks for showing!

[CutnSnip]

I love your idea, I don't have many GMs but since I got the pefect storage for them I am planning on getting more. I've done this idea with my punches, and some papers.tfs

[worker4ever123]

Great Idea.....I use this same technique to keep track of all my sizzix dies....that way I can just browse throught them to see what I want to use.....I also put a pocket on the back of them to place a sample of the die in it...that way I can just pull it out to see if it will if the die cut will fit on my page. I love seeing ALL of the glimmer mist colors that you have......I am going to now do this with my glimmer mist.....THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING!!! lOVE IT Amy

[mickeymouse200430]

WOW!! I am so lusting for your supplies/room. In my wildest dreams I could not fathom all that glimmer mist. What a playful time I could have! You are so Fortunate! I love your projects and videos. I am new to this craft and you inspire me. Thank you

[cheyenne2996]

Great Idea!! I love your writing! You have a TON of Glimmer Mist...I've never seen so many in my life! LOL.. I JUST bought my first ever Glimmer Mist yesterday LOL.. and I bought Antique Brass..(Idk why, but I just thought it would include a nice shine to some project).. I was actually Looking for a pink, but there were none at the store I was at.. ~DO YOU RECOMMEND ANY CERTAIN TYPE OF PINK GLIMMER MIST THAT IS BEST?~

TFS!

~Cheyenne

[gontisha]

Thanks for posting your idea! I'm going to give the address labels on my Distress Inks a try!

[pigglet4822]

thanks for the tip... great idea. I too store my ink pads upside down , I think they work better that way. TFS

[pinkaboo6691]

Im an organizing FIEND and LOVE seeing how everyone does theirs! Great idea, Arlene!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Samantha

[asameen75]

Great idea...very useful! :)

Thanks

[toswald986]

what a great idea. My stash has gotten alot bigger so this will help :) Thanks!

[1tinac]

A great idea for keeping track of your GM and being able to have a reference to hold up to a project. I also like how you colored the labels.

I also saw on a video someone took a price label sticker from Staples colored with the GM then stuck the colored sticker to the top of the bottle cap so they could store them all in a basket and know what colors are what. Hope that made sense.

[TERIBERI2]

LOL....I do the same thing with my GM. I the samples hanging from the box I keep them in. I am catching up to you - hee hee!! Hugs, T

[dlwrules]

this is such a great idea. And you have such lovely penmanship!!

[lazycatz37]

Great idea. I don't have any GM yet but 6 are one the way. I did the same thing with the distress ink pads ecept that i used the dymo paper label maker and made a label for each side so no matter which way I put them in I see the color and the name. TFS

[JuneBugPins]

Thanks so much....loved seeing this. Love how you organize your items...also seeing and hearing about different glimmer mist colors. So sweet of you!

[sandraperdomo79]

great Idea , maybe if you give every color a number and then add the number to the bottle that way is easier to find it in your scraproom and keep em organize by colors i did that with my library at home and works very well , hugs thanks for sharing all your magnificent GM

[Legojenta]

Just posted a video-response to this video, as I wanted to share a video I posted a while ago on how to make sort of the same thing, which is cardstock color samples =)

[Maritza1963]

Very smart. Thanks for sharing

[danababe3]

Arlene, I always enjoy your videos! They're very concise and yet, very detailed. That's a real talent...as a babbler, I should know.

I use YOUR hauls as my " go to quickly" resource as I'm leaving out to go shopping. What a time-saver! You are very organized and this video was a big help and encouragement. I hope to see more of these detailed organizational tutorials.

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR THIS ONE!!!

;O)

[sillyfroghoneybee]

Great Arlene, I got a friend now, i tot I'm crazy to have 70 bottles of glimmer mist ;) ha ha! but never enough !

Hugs

[lexx2710]

[joic81]

[4nikkimay]

[triciaa2474]

That's a great idea! I really love all of your glimmer mists! I am green! LOL I was wondering if you have time, could you go through your browns? I wanted to get a borwn, but not sure which I should get? Thanks!

[TinaLynn510]

I am all about organizing tips, or you showing us how you store things. I love my scrapbooking, but I love organizing my scrapbook stuff even more! lol

[stampersdreams]

I love your videos, you're truly an inspiration. I just finished cleaning my scrap room. Thanks for the tips!

[OdonataCreations]

Use a 3/4 inch circle punch and punch out the circles, which fit perfect on the top of the caps, and run the circles through a xyron machine. Write the names of the colors on the circles and stick them on the top of your caps. I have a lot too and found this such a time saver for looking for my colors! I hope this helps, Mary

[ayellessnuffelhoek]

haunted shadow is that super shimmery ? different than all the others??
