Kick Start, Day 3

Today's class focused on organizing supplies. I think all paper crafters find their organizational solutions evolving. I know mine have changed several times.

I keep my stamps on this shelf. (Holiday and seasonal stamps are stored separately, and I pull them out when I need them.) I usually have cards displayed on this shelf too, but I just loaded them into a box for Operation Write Home.


I've been putting my clear stamps in plastic sleeves. I got the idea from Jennifer McGuire on the Paper Crafts Connection blog. You can find a video HERE. I love this system!


This box holds all my dies. I need to organize them better within the box because I spend WAY too much time flipping through them. 


I posted more pictures of my space last January. You can find that post HERE. Things have changed since then!

  1. Currently doing the kick start class and browsing the gallery.Looking at your stamp storage I just had one of those ,"Why didn't I think of that?" moments!Fabulous idea to store your stamps like books.Mine are also in a bookcase but are arranged with the index facing out.Your way takes up far less room.So now I can haul out more stamps currently stored in the closet in boxes.Thanks so much for the idea.

  3. I wish my room looked that neat and organized. I think I still have too many wood mounted stamps, I need to go through them again and put some away for the used stamp sale. I love the dies in that box - where did you find it? The dividers are perfect for keeping them sorted.

  5. What an awesome set up! Can't wait to play with all that stuff when I move in next door! Seriously, I wish I had to space to do something so nice. I also have furniture envy.

  7. I agree that organizing supplies is a constantly evolving thing. More than once I was convinced i had found a perfect solution only to find later that it's less then perfect. LOL I like the clear stamp system and might have to consider this for mine. Thanks for sharing what you're learning Dixie!
