Great tips! Thank you
I use coffee filters as ‘catchalls” when using glitter or embossing powders. They are disposable so I don’t have to worry about cleaning up a catch tray. And they are CHEAP!
The q-tip things are also great for inking the edges of shapes/small pieces – the pointed tip gets the ink into tight curves 🙂
I use paper plates to sort my pictures. They stack up and can even be carried to a crop by putting down in a plastic grocery bag.
I use WD40 to clean sticky glue off of scissors, mats and any tools that get sticky. Works awesome.
On the tray used to catch embossing powder, you often have static electricity hold the powder onto the tray when you go to dump it back into the bottle. So, before you use it, rub it with a dryer sheet, and voila, no more sticking!
