I'm excited to share a recent project that's brought a splash of color and organization to my watercolor pencil collection. If you're anything like me, you love having your supplies neat and easily accessible. That's why I created a color chart that fits perfectly in the lid of pencil boxes that are carried by Michaels Craft Stores. This chart has not only streamlined my crafting process but also sparked some delightful discoveries along the way. Let's dive into the details!
Why I Created the Color Charts
I often find myself reaching for my watercolor pencils in the midst of a creative session, only to spend precious time searching for the right color. I designed these color charts as a quick reference to display all the beautiful hues at a glance.

What’s in the Box?
Each box contains a full set of watercolor pencils, a blender pen, and a waterbrush (Stampin' Up! calls them water painters). This makes it easy to bring to workshops, retreats and card buffets. Having everything in one place is a game-changer for both convenience and creativity. Plus, sharing this organized setup at events is a breeze!
The Blender Pen Revelation
While working on this project, I made a delightful discovery: the incredible versatility of the Stampin' Up! Blender Pens. Previously, I used Tombow blending pens, which feature one brush tip and one bullet tip. The Stampin' Up! pens, however, come with two brush tips. This means that in a pack of three pens, you actually get six brush tips!
Here’s a fun tip: mark each tip with nail polish or washi tape to designate them for different color families—blues, reds, browns, yellows, greens, and black/grey. This method keeps your blending clean and your colors true.

Final Thoughts
Creating these color charts has been a rewarding endeavor. It’s a simple yet effective way to keep my watercolor pencils organized and accessible. I hope this inspires you to bring a bit more order and creativity to your crafting space. Feel free to share your own tips and tricks for staying organized in the comments below. Happy crafting!
