5 Days to an Organized Crafty Stash

We're back for another day of crafty organization! I hope you are feeling inspired to organize your own crafting area. I'm happy to report that my Storage Pockets, 6" x 6" Page Protectors, and my fridge containers all arrived today. I'll be putting aside some time over the next few weeks to get everything transferred over.
Today we are sharing tips for card stock storage. My card stock is actually one of the items that is always well organized. For many years I had my card stock in file folders in rolling carts. That storage worked well for me for many years, but I recently decided it was time for a change. :)


I purchased three of these Storex 24 Compartment Literature Organizers. I had looked at a number of different options, and decided on these for a few reasons. All of my furniture is a dark espresso color so the black matches it well. Since I live in Canada, shipping is always a consideration when purchasing things online.  Shipping for these was free with my Prime membership on Amazon.


 Each color of My Favorite Things card stock has it's own slot. If you look closely, you may catch a glimpse of some of the soon to be released colors of card stock. :)


On top of the stacks of card stock, I keep a clear page protector full of scraps. Each color has it's own page protector. 


Each page protector is labelled with the name of the card stock. Keeping my scraps on top of the full sheets of card stock has really helped me to reach for them before reaching for a full sheet.


The bottom three compartments holds some of my specialty card stock. Here you will find watercolor paper, foil sheets, acetate, and tags.



Thanks so much for joining me again today. Be sure to check out the MFT Blog to see all the fabulous ideas the design team is sharing. Don't forget to check out today's prize package, YOU could be one of the lucky winners.

  6. Nice Julie! I've used those clear envelopes for scraps too -- but they get unwieldy when the scraps build up! I need to use my scraps up!
