Storage tips for a clean and stress-free stamp room!

I shared some great storage tips in my Share It Saturday video this past weekend. I promised that I would share some more details in a blog post, so here it is! I know I am always looking for ideas from other stampers for storage. Most of these ideas are adapted from others that I found on YouTube or Pinterest from other paper crafters and stampers. 



Tip #1: Embossing folder storage 
I got this idea from Connie Stewart, a fellow SU! demonstrator. And I thought it was genius! 
Dimensions: 6 1/4 x 11" scored on long side at 3 3/4 and 4" 
Place your embossing folder on the bottom half and run it through your Big Shot. Add a label and ta da! The perfect embossing folder storage. 

Tip #2: Card stock storage 
I wanted a simple way to store my card stock that wouldn't take up much space. I found these magazine holders from Ikea (FLYT) and some heavy duty page protectors from Office Max. 

See how easy it is to tell how much stock I have left of each color? I love it! 

I cut the three holes off the page protector, being careful not to cut the seam. I then used these post-it notes and my label maker to label each page protector with the color name. 

The page protector is the perfect place to store my paper scraps. 


Tip #3: Storage by Stampin' Up! 
The new storage by Stampin' Up! is amazing! My favorite part about it is its versatility - you can make your storage system as big or as small as you want. 

Here I have the ink pad and marker storage trays and the Stampin' Blends storage trays.  I love that I can add more in the future without a ton of investment.

The two towers of ink pad storage furthest to the left are topped with the storage toppers, which hold up to 20 re-inkers.

There's space to store your Stampin' Write marker right next to the ink pad, too. I like to store my colors in rainbow order, but you could easily store them by color family as well. The possibilities are endless! 

It's so great to finally be able to see my Stampin' Blends and have easy access. I always just had them thrown in crayon boxes and they would get all mixed up. 

**Bonus tip: If you have the Alex drawers from Ikea, the packaging from the storage units works great for drawer dividers! You can fit two across and three deep.
