Your page protector exclamation made me laugh. They ARE like gold these days! I search thrift stores for albums. Often, people have thrown them out because album covers became damaged or faded, but I take them all apart. The page protectors, spacers, and binding screws are always in perfect shape! I just throw away the rest. I get all these spare "parts" for WAY less $$$, than ordering new.

Thx for this! I have a bunch of paper in Iris bins that you just gave me the idea to go through them and only keep what I really want to keep!

It's amazing how stuff can pile up over the years and then you realize you don't even like that style anymore! Happy paper purging!

Great tips! I live those sleeves too!

I use the same system & plastic envelopes but loved the tip about taping the back of the clear pocket ridges as my tabs do come off. I didn’t do clear tabs though. I punched a tab out of my CTMH samples & stapled them to the envelope. But I love the neatness of the clear tabs so I’m about to order those:) Thanks. I LOVE all of the CDT’s organization videos! Keep them coming ❤

Stapling the tabs on is a good idea too! I debated how to label them and I’m glad I went with the tabs. I hope you enjoy them too!

Exactly what I was looking for.

Love how you've labelled these on the side so they can stand up with the smaller pieces in them. I'm thinking I need a whole redover for Stampin' Up! and my system and #chelseymademedoit is such a good thing to get my SU cardstock/pattern paper under control.

YT blocked your comment, I think it was the hashtag 🤣 I'm really loving this system for my paper plus it's pretty to look at! I feel like since I'm bringing in new supplies, I need to refresh my storage to make my workflow better and get rid of the piles!

Thank you! It’s a good feeling to get things more organized.

Thanks so much for sharing this! Funny, I just moved all my 12 x 12 papers into the fabric bins this week, and then saw this. I built shelving in my craft room closet and they were in the plastic containers, stacked on top of each other on the floor. The fabric bins make it so much easier to pull out and grab what I need. I don't have quite the supply you do, but 4 fabric bins hold it all - each fabric bin holds the equivalent of 5 plastic bins! I also moved my 8.5 x 11/ 8x8 to smaller sized fabric bins. My most used white/neutral/watercolor/mixed media paper will be stored in or on my desk.

Oh I have seen those clear dividers. I will check them out.

I love the plastic sleeves for paper too! I decided to put my mix-ins in with the same color of cardstock when CTMH made it the same color, different pattern, on both sides. I love your organization tips. I’ll be watching for more!

I have recently moved, and am getting back into scrapbooking. Which means organizing what I have. Love your 12x12 envelope idea. Will so be stealing it.

This was so helpful, thank you! I have those storage envelopes and I use them for my collections. I also store on my IKEA shelves standing like books. My CTMH cardstock is in hanging folders in a metal IKEA bin that fits in the IKEA cubes. I keep either a cheap 12x12 page protector from HL or an 8.5x11 page protector in the front to capture all of my little scraps. I did have everything in rainbow order, but switched to alphabetical. I can’t decide which way I prefer as they both work

Love watching craft storage videos. I also have mine stored in plastic sleeves and bags. Need more sleeves for my patterned papers. Finding a cube storage system the right size seems to be more difficult here in New Zealand but will keep searching as i love the idea. Also planning to store my stamp sets the same way you have as i collect up some new furniture for my craft space. Thanks for sharing😊

I had a couple people comment about their like turning into a dislike, but it doesn't seem to be a widespread issue. Not sure why that's happening, but thanks for letting me know. Here is a link to the Malm dresser from Ikea so you can see the dimensions. www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/malm-3-drawer-chest-white-10576209/ Each drawer fit approximately 160 sets, but it depends on how many had dies in the package. You could probably fit a few more than that in, but you don't want it so full that it's hard to flip through your stamps. I hope this solution works well for you. So far I'm loving it!

Hi- Welcome to Stampin Up! TSMFS ♥Always interested to see how "we" Demos organize..SU retires paper every 6mos..it was unusual DSP carried over to the new '24-'25 catty,.Im not as organized as you- but I did LOVE the new 12x12 holders you've invested in & will do the same- and may I also suggest-Create a new container for your Stencils. I LOVE using them & with diff mediums,,like Cosmic Shimmer or Stencil Butterr- both are non SU products- & SU has been adding stencil /mask sets & I think you will love adding to your stash.. (As long as SU doesn't have a competing product- we can use it. ) TY♥

Thank you for the warm welcome and info. There is so much to learn starting with a new company! I have a very healthy stencil collection 😂and I keep mine in scrapbook albums inside page protectors. This is the best system I've found to keep them organized and not all tangled up. I haven't picked up any new pastes lately, I might have to check out the stencil butter!

Perfect timing. I was just thinking of how to,label my envelopes. Love the tabs. Just ordered some. Thank you

I have recently started changing the way I store my paper. I also had it stack with tabbed labels but realised it was too hard to pull the lower ones out. I’ve started standing them in their sides but I have them in our old plastic workshop bags and keep the leftover pieces in the bag too.

It sounds like you have a good system that's working for you. That is the most important thing! So far I'm enjoying how I've reorganized my paper and it's super easy to find everything. This shelf is across my room from my desk so I'm also getting some steps in every time I go to get paper lol

Two questions about the large envelopes: 1-Do you worry about dust getting into the top since there isnt a flap? I work in my unfinished basement, so it is always on my mind. 2-How many sheets will fit comfortably without bending edges or stressing the plastic? Love the look of them and the labels, i just need to be sure it is rhe right fit for me!

@ChelseyVorosmarty

6 күн бұрын

I know I already replied to your message, but I'll rely here too in case others are looking for the answers to this. I'm not worried about dust. I don't live in a super dusty area, we don't even have a back alley or anything and these paper sleeves will be packed quite tightly onto my shelf, so there won't be a lot of opportunity for much dust to get in. You could always rotate them so the opening is on the side. I thought about doing this but I was worried about all my scraps falling out. As for how many sheets will fit, I did find in the product description on Amazon that they say max 60 sheets. I would prefer less, like 30 or so but you could put more in.
