Craft Room Organizing Tip for Card Makers

 I love sharing craft room organizing tips with you!! I love finding new ways to organize my stamping and crafting supplies.  When I find something that really works well for me, I love sharing that idea with you.  If it works for you, great!   If you have another system in place, great - leave me a comment and tell me all about it! :)

 I know you don't come here to see the "mess" so I'll just share the "after" photos of my newly organized box for storing parts and pieces that were all over my desk!  I bought this container at The Container Store (info below) and LOVE the sections of this container AND that it's wide enough to fit a card front or folded card/envelope!

 Organization tips for Card Makers:

I have 2 of these 4-section Linus Packet Organizers shown above (details below).

LEFT:  this one holds all of my essentials like Stampin' Dimensionals, pearls, doilies, gems, glitter dots, rhinestones, etc.

RIGHT: this one holds all the miscellaneous pieces that were scattered in containers all around my desk.  I have a section for pieces that will be used on a card, a section for partially completed cards, a section for card ideas, and in back, a section of stamped images ready to color.

I used my DYMO labeler to label dividers.  You can see file folder supplies from Staples that I used for the DIVIDERS IN THIS POST.

 

Above: the labeled sections I used in my container.  Do what works for you!

This is the 4 section Linus Packet Organizer I found at the Container Store... LOVE this!

 Die Cut Storing Tip:

 Below:  This is another great time saver/organizer I have in my craft room.  I also got this container at the Container store (this one was from a few years ago), and I was storing my essentials like dimensionals, pearls, rhinestones, etc., in it.. but I found it works so well for my stash of die cut pieces!!!!!!!

 

You may be asking why do I have so many die cuts?  I make 50 to 70 of each card design for customer thank you cards several times a month, so having this stash of die cuts is a huge time saver!  I do have a wonderful neighbor that helps me by doing some bulk die cutting, and it works out well for both of us!!

 Last Tip:

I have a little container for all the tiny extra die cut pieces that end up on my table.. then I go through it often to add that little extra special touch to a project!  This is just a Dollar Store plastic dish.. it doesn't have to be anything fancy, but I do find that "see through" is helpful for me.

 Did you find a helpful tip today!?

Facebook Live from 2pm today!! just added to the post...

How I store my Stampin' UP! framelit dies

 

Each time I share a video, someone always asks about the awesome storage solution I've found for my Stampin' UP! framelits!!

I use the Stamp-n-Storage Magnet Cards, and Avery Elle plastic pockets!

Watch the video HERE showing how I store the magnet sheets in the Avery Elle plastic sleeves.

 

 I store my framelits on the magnet cards in the Stamp-n-Storage Wafer Die Storage Totes. I have all 3 sizes, but use the medium size the most. (as shown above).  

Here are the Stamp-n-Storage supplies I used to organize my framelits, thinlits and edgelits:

 

Organization Supplies:

• Plastic Poly file folders from Staples - for the dividers (watch the video HERE)
• Envelope Punch Board to make file tabs where needed
• P-Touch label maker (Amazon)
• Stamp-n-Storage Magnet Cards - I used 6"x7"
• Stamp-n-Storage medium wood die storage boxes (all Stamp n Storage products available here)
• Avery Elle 6-3/4" x 9-3/8" plastic pockets - Extra Large Stamp & Die storage (find them on Amazon)

 

Below: the Avery Elle pockets I bought on Amazon. They are also perfect for your 6x6 Paper Stacks, and for keeping all the loose 6x6 sheets and scraps together!

 

You can see more info about how I store and organize my Stampin' UP! products here..

 

Hope you found this tip helpful! Let me know if you have any questions!

How I organized my NEW Stampin' Up! ink pads!

 

This year I made a big change in my craft room and organized all of my Stampin' UP! cardstock, ink pads and reinkers in Rainbow Order!!  I have been thinking about it for years, and with the new color revamp this year, I decided rather than memorizing which colors were in which Stampin' UP! color families, I would just change to rainbow order!

Results: I LOVE IT!

 

ABOVE: my ink pad storage units from Stamp-n-Storage, show 2 styles of ink pad holders.  The one on the bottom is for the new style Stampin' UP! ink pads only (it won't fit the old style). The one on top is the old style (see this post), and holds the old and new style pads.   They offer MANY different styles of ink pad holders, and from June 8 to 18, 2018 you'll find some of them on sale at 15% off!

 

Helpful Links

• You can watch a video about the old vs. new style Stampin' UP! ink pads HERE.
• SHOP all Stamp-n-Storage products here. When selecting your ink pad holders, be sure to read the descriptions and know which ones work with which style of ink pad.
• SHOP all Stampin' UP! ink pads here!

 

Above: I redid my reinkers into rainbow order as well!!  They are all in a drawer next to me as I craft, so I can easily grab them to reink my pads or use them for watercoloring techniques.  I used retired candy dots and glimmer dots, some colored with Stampin' Blends or Sharpie markers, to try to capture a color close to the ink color, then I wrote the name on the lid with a fine tip Sharpie.

 

Click here to shop Stampin' Up! reinkers

 

Like I mentioned above, I LOVE the rainbow order for my supplies!   The great news is.. if you try it and you don't like it, it's so easy to change ... but for me, this was a GREAT change!  I love just being able to "browse the greens", or "browse the reds" at a glance!! :)

Trying out "Rainbow Order" this year

I'm trying something new this year!  Instead of organizing my Stampin' Up! cardstock in the 4 color families and In Colors in separate paper holders, I combined them all into one big rainbow!  I am LOVING my rainbow order cardstock organization so far!!! :)

As you may know, Stampin' Up! is taking the opportunity to revamp our color families in honor of their 30 Year Anniversary!!  Rather than put all my new colors into the new families, I decided to see how I'd like it in rainbow order!

 

My inspiration came from Monica Gale.  Her cardstock is organized in one long horizontal rainbow row, but I don't have room to do that.. so this is how I have mine! 

You can see Monica's rainbow list here.

You will notice that I modified my order a little from hers, because I put the white, vanilla, and neutrals on the left, separate from the rainbow.  I am LOVING this rainbow order so far!!  Do what works for you, and the great news is, you can change it around anytime! :)

I love my paper holders, see the Stamp-n-Storage 8-1/2x11 cardstock holders here. 

Be sure to click the option to include the 8-1/2x11 or 12x12 paper holder label system to match your paper holder size.. I find them super helpful.. here is how they look:

Craft Room Storage Tip for Accessories & Embellishments Video

 

Click for Stampin' UP! Specials // Click for Patty's Special << ends tomorrow!

 

I have a fun tip that I hope will give you ideas for storing and organizing your crafting embellishments and accessories!

I recently brought all of the new Stampin' Up! embellishments and accessories to a demonstrator meeting for the display table, and rather than just put the packages on the table, I put all the darling products in sweet little white bowls from the Daiso Japan store!  They were only $1.50 each and made everything look so cute!

 

Watch the video below!

Please enjoy this quick 5 minute video with a fun tip for organizing (and hopefully USING) your crafting embellishments and accessories! 

 

 
If you are viewing this in an email, please CLICK HERE to see the video on my blog.

 

We had lots of display tables at the meeting.. here are a couple photos of the tables as they filled up with products and projects;

 

When I came home from this demonstrator meeting, I decided to leave all of the products in the cute bowls, gather them all into a tray (from the Container Store) and keep them at my stamping desk!!

1. I thought this should help keep them organized
2. I hope it will encourage me to grab them and USE THEM!
3. I can see at a glance what is running low

 

One tip I shared in the video above was to go ahead and take all of the wood embellishment pieces out of the wood sheets.. this way I KNOW I will grab them and use them.. and in fact I already have!

Stars & Hearts Elements #144215, pg 198

Touches of Nature Elements #144216, pg 196

 

 I hope you enjoyed that idea for organizing in your craft room, and I hope you will enjoy some photos from our fun Luv 2 Stamp group demonstrator meeting last month!!

Would you like to JOIN MY TEAM?  I'd love to share all the benefits with you and answer your questions.  Start by READING THIS PAGE, then email me with questions! Click HERE to join!

 

 

 As you can see we had a wonderful time!!  I'll be sharing more about this meeting soon, and you can see the embossing paste projects I shared HERE.

Stampin' UP! Paper Snip Scissor Sharpener Tip

 

I have quite a collection of Stampin' Up! Paper Snips and (now retired) Craft/Ribbon Scissors.  And they ALL needed sharpening.  We found this "Work Sharp" brand Knife & Tool sharpener and it came highly recommended, so we bought one.  It is great!!  You don't need the special edition one, but that's what they had so we got it.  I'm thankful for my handyman hubby who took the time to sharpen all my scissors for me!!

 

 

You may be wondering why I have so many pairs of paper snips and craft scissors ... at classes or other events I like to have a tool caddy with all the stamping and crafting essential tools, like Paper Snips, bone folders, paper piercer, Snail, Fast Fuse and Multipurpose Glue.  If you need any of these handy crafting supplies, you'll find product photos at the bottom of this blog post, linked to my online store.  Just click any photo to shop now!

I really wish Stampin' Up! still offered the Craft & Rubber Scissors as well as the Craft Scissors - perfect for cutting ribbon.. but they are retired now.  I still love mine!

Work Sharp brand sharpeners are available at Cabela's, on Amazon or at some hardware stores.

 

 

Gotta love my super handy hubby.. and love my super sharp scissors!!! :)

This system makes it So easy to find the right color when I need to re-ink my pad!  I saw this idea online and I cannot fine the originator of this idea.. but if it was you, thank you and please comment so I can give you credit!

 

 

I am going to try to do a better job in the coming year to remind you to always buy the ink refill when you buy the ink pad.  You will always have it on hand, and we all know that a freshly inked pad produces a much better stamped image, too!

I store mine in a 4 section drawer divider from the Container Store in my Elfa Cart drawer:

Bisley 4-Compartment Shallow Drawer Insert Black

• SKU#: 668070

6x6 Paper Stack Storage Tip

 

Craft Room Storage tip for 6x6 paper!

Why didn't I try this years ago??  Wow!! This is such a great way to store my 6x6 Stampin' Up! Paper Stacks!!

I am using a lovely wood storage box from Stamp-n-Storage and dividers I made myself to organize my paper stacks!  This works great for any paper 6x6 or smaller!

See below for ordering info!

I love that I can now see at a glance if I am running low on one of the paper stacks, and I can also keep all my loose pieces all together in the same spot instead of having them fall out all over! :)
