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.

Parisian Blossoms Cards Kit to Go

January 8, 2020
For January I chose to feature the Parisian Blossoms specialty designer paper for my cards kit to go. The champagne foil accents and gorgeous patterns were sure to help create beautiful cards. Look!

Save

I am thrilled with how they turned out. Two of the 5 designs are unique fun fold cards which are always a delight to create. There are 10 cards in this kit; 2 each of 5 designs. I used the following inks: Pool Party, Black, Petal Pink, Cherry Cobbler and Grapefruit Grove.

This kit to go includes $20 in actual product (before tax & shipping). You're getting the 10 cards kit for just $4.35! If you like pre-cut cards you will LOVE my monthly kits to go!

I added the So Sentimental bundle for my greetings and some die-cuts. It's my top favorite bundle in the new 2020 mini catalog. Look; it's full of awesome greetings and lots of stitched die-cuts!

Painted Poppies in a window

January 7, 2020

Adding dimension and interest to a clean & simple card can be a challenge. Adding a window with the Stitched Nested Label dies does it easily.

Save

I had this window piece in my bag of White scraps, so it was extra easy to make this card. I used the Stitched Nested Labels; which are a 'must have' in my opinion. Next time you want a die-cut, consider die-cutting it in the center of a larger piece so you can use both pieces!

The top White piece is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4", the second White layer is 3 5/8" X 4 7/8". The Granny Apple Green piece is 1 1/2" X 5 1/2".

Just like yesterday's card I used my Dark Poppy Parade blends marker to color the new 1/4" White Crinkled ribbon for the bow. Both of the images are stamped in Black Memento ink. I colored the green leaves and bud with a Granny Apple Green Blends marker. The poppy flower is colored by stamping with one of the stamps in the Painted Poppies set.

Save

The greeting is from the Sending you Thoughts stamp set; it's free with any $50 order right now during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. You can see all of the free items here.

I love the new Peaceful Poppies suite and have created 10 project sheets to send to everyone who places an order in January. Details below:

Peaceful Poppies; easy cards!

January 6, 2020

The new Peaceful Poppies designer series paper is gorgeous with bright, pretty colors and lots of poppies! There's one sheet in particular that makes it super easy to make quick, floral cards. Click here to see it in my store.

Save

It's the sheet of paper on the far left above.

Save

I cut the paper at 5 1/2" across and above the flowers. Then into 3" strips. Now I have 8 panels of flowers ready for cards!

I made two cards here adding a 1" X 5 1/2" strip of Poppy Parade on the left and a white punched border using the Decorative Ribbon Border punch. The cards are Old Olive cut at 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"

Save

The greetings are from the new Sale-a-Bration set 'Sending you Thoughts' on page 11 of that catalog. You can see it here. The punch they're stamped on is the Timeless Label punch seen here.

You might wonder where I found that pretty crinkled Poppy Parade ribbon. It's the new 1/4" White crinkled ribbon that I colored Poppy with my Dark Poppy Parade blends. I LOVE being able to color my ribbon the exact color I need for my projects!

Check out all of the Sale-a-Bration items here; remember you get a free choice for every $50 or $100 you spend!
