A few favorite craft storage tips

December 27, 2024

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.

I bet this year many of us will be giving gift cards more than ever. This social distancing is hard but during the Holiday's it's going to be so tough! If you are missing celebrating with your family this year I feel for you. Holidays are meant to be enjoyed together. But if it keeps us and them safe I'm sure it's the right decision. But we don't have to like it, right?!

Here's a fun gift card holder you can make to give those gift cards in.

Save

I made one during last week's Facebook Live but you can see the video below, or here on my YouTube Channel.

November 23, 2020

On my Stamp with Me Live I shared these cards and how easy it is to make an explosion card.

These cards look pretty ordinary from the front but there's a surprise inside; see below:

Isn't it cool? And it's super easy to do. It's a 6" square of designer paper that you fold in halves with a bone folder. No measuring at all!

Here's the template for the explosion card.
