Spring Cleaning - Organize your supplies with the Tim Holtz Embossing Powder Case!

It's time for Spring Cleaning, only two weeks left until summer! I wanted to feature my favorite storage solution today to inspire you to organize your craft area!

The Tim Holtz Embossing Powder Case, made by Cropper Hopper, is the most versatile of all of Tim's storage solutions. Since there aren't any dividers on the inside, you can customize your case by storing various types of supplies.

Check out the video below made by Tim to see different ways to store your supplies. The Embossing Powder Case is featured at about 4:08 in the video.

Click HERE to see the video.

Tim demonstrates that the Embossing Powder Case can be used to store not only Embossing Powders, but also Perfect Pearls, Crackle Paint, Brushes, Other Supplies, and the best of all - the new ALCOHOL INK REFILLABLE PENS! Yes, that's right, 18 of the refillable pens fit in the Embossing Powder Case.

As most of you may know, the storage cases are no longer being made due to increases in production costs. Luckily, we have a few of the Embossing Powder Cases in our warehouse, so get them while they last!

Happy Cleaning!
