Copic Storage



Hi gang! I don't have any cards to show you today, but I wanted to show you my new "Copic Cups" that I got at IKEA. I used to store my copics in two plastic containers, with rubber bands grouping the different color families. Well, I got tired of pulling them out of the cabinet when I needed them and putting them away, and wanted something so they'd be right in front of me. I totally got this idea from Julie's IKEA post here...thanks Julie!

*ETA*
A couple of you asked about my ink pad organizer. I got it at
Organize More and HERE'S the link to the actual organizer.

Oh, and my buddy Dawn told me about Sandra Bullock's new movie...The Proposal...so my oldest daughter and I went to see it yesterday. AWESOME movie!! Oh my gosh, I laughed so hard I cried! If you get a chance to see it, go! You'll love it!

  8. Oh, I just bought some of these cups at IKEA but wasn't sure what I was going to use them for...now I know!! Thanks, Denise!

    The ink pad organizer you have in the picture...where did you get that? I am really frustrated with the space my ink pad organizer from Stampin' Up takes up...

  16. Hi Denise...don't want to burst your bubble with your new marker storage, but have heard that storing them on their sides is better because the ink stays even. Are the Copic markers two sided? What I mean, are they like the Stampin' Up ones with large nib & smaller one on other side? That would be the reason to store on sides.

  21. I LOVE this! What fabulous storage! I currently have ZERO Copics. It makes me quite sad. Haha! I want some, I just can't seem to afford them (or so my hubby says). :D Hehe. Thanks for sharing this though because I hope to have some SOON!
