How do you store your card kits? Do you keep all the pieces together or do you separate the bits and pieces as you would with the rest of your stuff? I think I'm going to do a mixture. For instance I'm separating the inks and embossing powders I'm labeling with a sharpie which kit it came from and then I'll put it with the rest of my inks and embossing powders. I think I'll do that with stamps and dies. I'll also do that with the stencils and sequins as well. I think I'll keep them in a box with there corresponding ribbon in baggies and then labeled which kit it came from.

I don't have many kits at all, of any sort, but I tend to keep my kits together until I've used enough of them to justify separating all the components into my general stash. When that happens, I don't label anything; it just gets mixed in.
Sorry, that's probably not too helpful.

I have scrapbook kits which I keep together until they’re pretty well used up. Then I put whatever’s left in my stash. I keep them together be a use I like to work with a small selection of coordinated supplies. And all the heard work is already done in the kit.

I keep kits together for a couple months, so I have some time to use them together, and then I’ll break them down with the rest of my supplies

I keep the kit together for a while then it migrates into the rest of my supplies.

I was just looking through the few card kits I have earlier tonight. I tend to keep almost everything together. I have taken out the ink pads and extra large embellishments to store elsewhere. But, right now, I have my few MFT card kits and my 1 SSS card kit together in a magazine holder on my shelf.

I keep kits together until they are mostly used - then they go into my stash, paper by manufacturer, embellishments by color.

Ink pads or potentially messy stuff comes out immediately and everything else is stored together until it's mostly used.

I only have a couple like you’re describing that include inkpads and stuff like that, that I bought at silent auction fundraisers. I think the last one I left all the stuff in the bag but I haven’t really looked at it since I bought it. If I was going to take it to a crop or something to actually make the cards though I probably would take all the lumpy stuff out of the bag to pack it.

My card kits get immediately taken apart but sit together in my new pile for a week or so. All my Hero Arts mini inks are in their own mini ink tin. Depending on the number of stamps and dies they get 1-2 Avery Elle sleeves.
When I get the inks I write the name on the front with a slick writer and the month of the kit on the side.

Maybe instead of labeling the ink and embossing powder as "From Card Kit X", you could put a sheet of paper with the coordinated papers (or whatever you keep together from the kit) that lists the other supplies that you've put back into your stash.
I like to keep card kits together so it's easy to use. Then I pull out whatever basics I also need.
