I got some questions about embellishment storage, so decided to show my system here - along with a few more embellishments I've made recently from new dies.
As you can probably tell from the picture above, I store my embellishments in sheet protectors in a 3 ring binder. Most of them fit in protectors designed for baseball cards - like you see in the picture above. I find if I cut a piece of paper to fit in each, I can then put embellishments on each side and see them clearly. I DID find that some things I made were too large for that size of sheet protector, so I added some protectors that were designed to hold photographs - I think these are for 4 x 6 size:
This last page shows some of my most recent embellishments:
I also made some flowers from the Spellbinders set called Simply Perfect Layered Blooms. Here's a quick look at some of those.
I had intended to make a set of blue, one of pink, and one of yellow/orange, but when I went to start coloring my second set of flowers, I mistakenly grabbed the blue again and had almost all of them colored before I realized my mistake! So, I have quite a few of the blue ones!
I sure wish I had thought to do this with my Seahorse Gardens, Under the Sea, and Water You Up To? sets! Those would be nice to have!
