A few favorite craft storage tips


I thought I'd share some of my favorite ways to store my stamping products.  Some people enjoy organizing more than creating! 

First is how I store my stamp sets.  In a dresser drawer.  I purchased a few dressers from IKEA many years ago and they've held up very well despite multiple moves.  

Here's a photo of my craft studio.  I am very, very lucky to have such a beautiful room in our home for my business and classes. 

 

Here's how I store my 8 1/2" X 11" card stock and paper scraps.  In front of each color of card stock I keep a cello bag for the scraps in that color. I've used this method for years and it really helps me use my scraps.

Next is how I store my 12 X 12" designer paper and scrapbook pages. 

It's a shoe storage cabinet! My 12 X 12" paper fits like it was made just for it!  You can get two stacks side by side in it since it's about 30" wide.    Plus it has a divider to fit even more paper above it.  I love the way the doors hinge open.  There are three doors and it's only about a foot deep.

Lastly here's how I store my inks, markers and ribbon. These are Stampin' Up! storage and they're fully customizable to fit what you need.  Click here to see the options. 

I love that it fits right on my work area for easy reach. As you can see I organize my inks in rainbow order. I'm not sure why my Blends aren't but I know my granddaughter will love to do that for me this week while she's here.

  • Happy May Day!! Check out this neat basket with template!


    Sharon brought these amazing hand made baskets to our last Flowerbug's gathering.  

    Aren't they fabulous?  It was sweet & generous of her!  

    For the fresh flowers basket she used the Fine Art Gallery designer paper in the Jan-June catalog. 

    She cut down a small milk carton to insert inside the paper basket so we could add water.  She added a metal frog to the inside of it to add the flowers securely.  The fresh flowers lasted over a week!  

    Would you like to know how she made the basket?  Well she made a template to share with you all as well!  Download Sharon's Basket here

    For the candy basket she used a brand new Pansy Petals designer paper in the new 2021 Annual Catalog. 


      Have a wonderful May Day!!

  • NEW! Flowers of Friendship card


    I created this card for a mail out swap I participated in.  I combined the new Pale Papaya with Pool Party & Black.  What do you think?  

    The stamp set is called Flowers of Friendship seen here.  It has a coordinating flower punch but I didn't use it here.  I did color the image in with Blends markers.  

    There are three new products I want to point out here: 

    1. Did you notice that pretty stitched border edge?  That is done with a new set of dies called Basic Borders seen on page 162. They're amazing and stitch on both sides of the cut. #AddtoYourList  
    2. See that black & white patterned paper? It's new and in the back of our catalog.  It's a hostess choice called Pattern Party.  You can only get it with Hostess Benefits when you place an order over $150.  It's a huge pack of 48 12 X 12" sheets and half are bright, colorful patterns and the other half are black & white.  I think they made this pack just for me!  It's my new favorite!!!
    3. Lastly that stitched label die-cut.  It's from the new Tailor Made Tags dies; seen on page166.  It has 8 sizes of stitched tags and reinforcements for the holes as well. Love them!!

  • More Sponging techniques from the Flowerbug’s


    Here are the second set of cards made by my Flowerbug's Team for our April card swap.  The theme was to use a sponging technique: 

    Candace made this one using a very soft sponging on just part of the card around the Whale.  She used the Whale Done bundle here.  It's a bundle now in the current Stampin' Up! catalog and will carry over into our new 2021 Annual Catalog. But it will no longer be a bundle at 10%.  You can see it here. 

    She stamped and die-cut the leaves from the Forever Fern bundle seen here.  

    Next is a neat card made by Karen.  She used a masking technique to get that unique stamped & sponged strip across the card.  

    She tore a length of sticky notes and pressed onto the White card stock; on top and on bottom. She stamped and sponged on the exposed area.  Very cool! The stamp set is called Enjoy the Moment seen here. 

    The designer paper is from the Boho Indigo Product Medley seen here.  Her card base is Misty Moonlight. 

    Next card is made by Paula.  She used the Positive Thoughts stamp set seen here.  She made the sponged center of her card a beautiful centerpiece.  To get the center she die-cut a circle from another piece of paper and sponged and stamped in the center. I believe she used Pacific Point and Mint Macaron ink. 

    I'll share more amazing cards made by my talented Flowerbugs soon!
