I just found you today 7/11/24! You are me! Finally storage organization made for the way I work! I need to see everything and easy access! New follower from Sandwich,IL! Look forward to viewing more of your videos and visiting your blog! I’m so excited to use your tips and ideas! ❤
Hello Patty! My name is Terri Lopez &I am new with Stampin' Up! Just came across your AMAZING organizing video! I learned soo much! I REALLY appreciate ALL your ways of organizing & LOVE THEM ALL! Thank you so much! I will look you up to see any of your other videos. See you soon!
Patty, I loved this video! I could watch you go over your storage solutions for hours. These are always my favorite videos of yours to watch! I've already implemented almost all of your ideas, and they really do work wonderfully! I, too, need everything out in front of me and at my fingertips, in order to craft effectively. Keep up the great work, Patty!! 🙂
Thank you Patty for sharing your tips. It was very helpful and some good ideas. You’re not the only one that loses your crafting tools as you craft!!! I think we’ve all experienced that challenge!! 😄😄😄 thanks again !
#replay I just watched your video today about your 5 top organization items. Loved it!!! Now to go watch the Feb 17 video and see what I will buy next. Thank you so much!
Hello Patty - love your great ideas on craft storage. All of the crafters always love new ideas for storing or organizing their supplies. FYI - I prefer the older pokey tool from Stampin Up as well. I so wished that Stampin Up would bring back shears again. We need longer scissors for somethings we do. You take care & have a great week Patty ! Thank you for sharing this storage information with us. 👏👏👏💕🌻
So glad you enjoyed it all!! And please do share your "wish list" (which I totally agree with!!) with Stampin' Up!. The more people who request an item the more they will consider it.
Thank you Patty for all your tips, I am trying to organize my craft room, love the idea of the rainbow order. Also, thank you for the laugh about the dice😂, that is so funny
Watching replay...lable maker is on half price at local stationary store so heading tomorrow (its 11.30 pm Friday here in NZ) sadly they dont stock avery pouches so might need go else where but a great score for the lable maker...been on my wish list for a long time
It's like you are in my craft room! Just my embellishments I have to get up for, but I have my favourite storage container and I am now going to take them out of 4 different small containers and pack them individually in packets...thanks for the tip! Heather, Brisbane Australia
Patty, I am so enjoying this video! Your way of organizing is very similar to mine … well, it was … Hurricane Ian came along and brought 6 ½ ft of water into our ground level home in 2022. At that time, I had been stamping since 2009 and lost it all. I started over once we settled into a much smaller place. I do have a craft area in the small den we have now and I value any and all ideas for storage. I think I pretty much have organized the best I can. Thank you, again, so much for this video! I giggled when you showed your “Pokey tools” … I call it that, too! Thank you, again!!!
Oh I'm so sorry to hear about your ordeal with the hurricane.. I'm glad you are still crafting!! thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the tips in the video!!
O my goodness the Amazon packages I have coming this week! Thank you Patty as this is what I needs I have been in my room all weekend making labels and organizing. More to come once packages are delivered.
I'm glad you like it!!! If you want to try out my color order, I've got them listed here: pattystamps.com/2023/04/pattys-stampin-up-rainbow-order-2023-2024.html
#replay I am a newbie at Stampin Up. I am overwhelmed at what I should do first to set up my craft room. Thanks for your help. Please share more ideas!
I can hardly believe how much you and I have in common! I have been working for 20+ years to get my stamping workroom organized the way I would love to have it. It has come a long way, but I am still, and will probably never reach perfection. But I love to have everything at my fingertips when I make cards. I have to organize all things color in rainbow order, too. Everything in my craft room is labeled, even the drawers. I know where to look for things without reading the labels most of the time, but there are drawers that have things that I don't use on a daily basis. I keep my cardstock in labeled hanging folders, and I NEVER get rid of colors I really like. I am a hobbiest only, but I hold card-making "classes" as well. And I will use retired stuff if that's the color that came to mind. None of my customers cares that they can't get things that I use. They are interested in getting ideas that will help them come up with cards of their own. HAPPY STAMPING!
Thankyou for all these storage tips Patty. I have a craft cupboard so I am always looking for ideas and tips to keep my craft supplies in check. I loved your story on your food dice it made me giggle….its a great dinner solution. Thankyou for sharing. 😊
Thank you for the “biggering” laugh😂. I didn’t watch it live but enjoyed seeing your tips. Especially the fact that you showed the Avery pockets for the SU embellishments. I have seen lots of organizing videos but I usually use SU and sometimes the videos do not use SU.
So glad I found you!! I'm moving in a few months and will have a new craft room. Am looking for ideas to organize my new craft room. I have to stuff "on display", too, so I know what I have to use. Thank you so much!!
SO ENJOYED this video explaining all your organization tips and ideas and I have adopted many of them! YES, I am always looking for something I just used on my table and can't find it (so best to have 2 or more!). GREAT Video! Thank you SO much!
Thanks for always sharing your organizing ideas. I’ve already incorporated your Avery envelopes for embellishments idea. Love all your ideas. I also like to have things close by that I can see
Yes, actually I did, but there were two favorites, not just one! I loved your idea to have a box of ready made labels. And the other one was to put all of your adhesives in one container. I had a few together but not the adhesive sheets, which I use a lot and we’re in a completely different location. Again, thank you!
Thanks for All the tips!!! Love Love Love your Valentines gift. Creative thought and oh So Handy. I would use that dice every night -- NO Cooking for this gal I’d rather be Stampin Up!!!
I’m watching the replay and love your craft room. I’m a fairly new hobby demo and I love your tips! I also like having my "stuff" out so I can see everything. I love your husband's Valentine game. 😂
#replay. Just subscribed. Thanks for showing your craft room. You're my idol and inspiration for organizing my craft room (aka small extra bedroom, office/computer room)
I absolutely relate to losing things, and I have more than one bone folder, snips, piecing tool etc. Those lost things turn up, but not quick enough. I’ve spent hours looking for things, and it is stressful. So, the money spent on multiple is well worth the expense!
Thanks for this Patty! I also have my most used things at my fingertips, with others close by - and I like to see what I have. I got those Avery embellishments sleeves after watching one of your other videos and I love them. I organize mine the same as you and have them handy on my desk. I also have the Niimbot label printer - I got it about a year ago and I love it. I like that the labels peel off easily when you want to reuse sleeves or bins. I never thought about it until watching this video, but I do both rainbow and alpha order. My inks and blends are in rainbow order, but my cardstock is in alpha order. I have no idea why! I'm also a "multiples" person with my tools... one is not enough.
Ooh so glad you like the sleeves and the niimbot!! Yes, those labels peel off so nicely!! That is interesting that you have your c/s in alpha order but others in rainbow... if you try out rainbow order for your c/d let me know how you like it!
I know this is an old video, but, I always glean something interesting from you! So, thank you! I noticed your project life at the end of your video. Now that SU is picking up CTMH I’m hoping to start a little Memory keeping again! I’m hoping that you might be thinking the same thing, I have gathered a few things lately, I can’t wait to hear if SU includes more MK products. Any thoughts??
I love those clear plastic containers. I've also found them at Ollie's and Marshalls. Marshalls is affiliated with TJMaxx , and Walmart has idesign containers in the kitchen section.
I love these tips and yes I have to have my current products out for my ADHD brain. If I don't see it it's not there. Thanks for always sharing with us 🫶💝❣
Hi Patty I love all your storage tips. One thing I did was I took the time and printed out a label for all the ink colors and stuck them to each ink tray and if I have a bunch of ink pads out I know exactly where they go and If I'm missing one I know at a glance which one is missing. When it come to inks retiring and shuffling the ink pads around then I just have to look at the tray and know in with order they do. My inks pads are sort of in rainbow order but they go down from light to dark in the color families. I also need everything out and handy.
Patti, I use long kleenex boxes to store my made cards in. I cutbthem down to 3" then glue the exes into the box for stability. I do put a label on the end so I know what is in each box. The box is just the correct size.
I lived the organization video Could you share how you set up to record I am working on my set up but I so love your sound and lighting Especially when you are card making Thank you for sharing your creative gift
I use my samsung phone (same one recording this video) in a holder by CANVAS and I have 2 lights from Amazon. you can search for: Swing Arm Lights, LED Desk Lamp with Clamp, 9W Eye Caring Dimmable Lamps, Timer, Memory, Touch Control 6 Color Modes, Niulight Modern Architect Table
# Replay Patty - I hope you do more of these organize videos. I am just now trying to set up my crafting area, and having quite a time with it. What are in the under the counter rolling carts? Where did you get them? I have considered this kind of storage too. Where do you put your 6x6 DSPs?
The Elfa carts i mentioned in the video are from Container Store. I showed the 6x6 DSP in the video. You can see all of my organizing videos here: ruclips.net/p/PLthQfDjRFFh1cBSyg5WCVdCHImkCBZcqM
I watched the replay and thank you for sharing how you craft room is set up. At times I feel I am drowning in DSP and stamp sets. . I also loose stuff when I am crafting. I was wondering if you have the glass mat and if you use it. Thank you for sharing. #question.
Yes, love the glass mat, you've probably seen me use it and mention it in my Friday crafting videos and in my card photos. The only reason I don't use it more on video is that the grids kind of "fool" my phone and it is not sure what to focus on... but I use it every day on my crafting table.
The first step for dealing with scrap cardstock anxiety for me was to start pitching out 1/4” and 1/2” strips. That reduced the rest of the scraps to a manageable amount.
#REPLAY - I just subscribed - good luck! ❤ I purchased three of the passport packages during this video. I add my dies to magnets and place two sets (back to back) per die package. I use extra packs for scrap cardstock. If you ever want to sell any of your empty plastic die set packages, let me know. Thanks for all of the tips! 😉
Patty I have been following you and I just love your ideas! Can you please tell me how I go about finding your blog and all the things you use on Amazon that you were speaking of and do I get any kind of a discount for mentioning your name was 🌺 Stamp N Storage 🌺 Patty, can you also tell me where I can find your blogs?
yes, I share the link at the beginning of all videos, it's all inked in the description above, or you can find the page with all my blog organizing here: pattystamps.com/how-i-organize-my-craft-room-with-patty-bennett
I just came across your great craft storage & organization video. Thank you so much for sharing your insights! Would you mind sharing what plastic sleeves you use for your white die cuts?
I have to have everything at my fingertips! My craft room is “messy” by comparison to some, but it works for me. I have a very small room and a small desk. I have utilized a Lazy Susan (large one, meant for the kitchen) on the corner of my desk and I have a collection of mugs in the center to hold various tools, often used markers, pencils, pokers, tweezers, blending brushes….The extra space around the mugs is great for keeping my color swatches and my Take Your Pick accessories so I can quickly change them out. I tend to use sentimental things for storage- mugs from trips, tins from gifts, etc. I have (from years ago, Office Depot) clear (frosty really) 6” cubes storage boxes that I use for all my adhesives, cleaners, stamping blocks, and markers. It’s made in pieces so I can customize it to suit my needs and it has a long thin footprint so it doesn’t take up desk space. I already have the “passport” envelopes in my cart… Thanks for all the awesome tips.
Wow you have just freed (is that a word?) me. I am going to get rid of all my scraps. They are actually giving me anxiety too. I really liked this organization video. I will save the gold paper scraps though
I don't understand why you would get rid of your scraps. At least not for the solid colors. My paper sorters have taller cubbies so I have room for the full sheets and a plastic envelope for the scraps. I die cut a lot and I sure wouldn't want to cut up a full sheet for a small die. I guess it just depends on what you have room for. 😊
I kept boxes of tiny scraps that I never use because it would take so much time to find the color I wanted. Usually with my tiny dies its not just one that I want so need "large "scraps which I do keep@@bethbenson1931
@@bethbenson1931 95% of what I create is in bulk for customer thank you cards (40 to 60 a week) and it is not time efficient for me to look through scraps to find 40 to 60 pieces to use, so i am much more efficient to use a 1/2 sheet and puzzle in as many die cuts as I can on that sheet. Hope that makes sense? I rarely ever have the need for a scrap smaller than 1/4 sheet. My 1/4 and 1/2 sheets are in my paper drawer of happiness.
#replay I love those acrylic boxes. I have one with dies and embossing folders, one with 6x6 dsp, and one with the embellishments in it. Won’t alcohol wipes make the acrylic blocks foggy?
#Replay: I love the Avery Passport Sleeves for my embellishments. I use snack baggies for items I fussy cut or punch. i have used my label printer to label the front of my ink pads, ink refills, punches so I can see the names of the colors (Old Eyes). I love Stamp n Storage. Great tips! I have a hard time remembering what dsp I have. I have them in a drawer with marked packages. Do you have any tips for remembering what dsp you have? I forget what is in a whole packet. I use what I can see.
I have 1 of each package of DSP.. so I guess I don't really have to remember.. I just know it's there. But you could print out a checklist with each new catalog and keep it handy,.
i enjoyed your tips. Especially the D11 printer. I ordered one from Amazon the next day. Much to my dismay, upon installing the app to my iPhone i saw that it required a weekly, monthly, or yearly fee. Is there another app that is available for this printer? Thank you.
I AM just learning to do cards. I AM 91. You are one of my favorite bdemonstrraters.
so kind of you!

I love these Avery pockets. Now I can see all my embellishments

I implemented your idea for using the passport pockets for embellishments, and i LOVE it! It works so well for me. Thank you for sharing. ❤
so glad you enjoyed that tip!!
I just love it when you say "please hold" makes me chuckle every time.
Oh my gosh.. I didn't even know I said that... LOL... I'll have to rewatch :)
I love that you call all your crafting stuff "my happy..."😊
Patty, I loved this video! I could watch you go over your storage solutions for hours. These are always my favorite videos of yours to watch!

Patty just spiral bound my new catalog and while this catalog is not as thick as previous years it works amazing. You should do it :)
Hello Patty - love your great ideas on craft storage. All of the crafters always love new ideas for storing or organizing their supplies. FYI - I prefer the older pokey tool from Stampin Up as well. I so wished that Stampin Up would bring back shears again. We need longer scissors for somethings we do. You take care & have a great week Patty ! Thank you for sharing this storage information with us. 👏👏👏💕🌻
So glad you enjoyed it all!! And please do share your "wish list" (which I totally agree with!!) with Stampin' Up!. The more people who request an item the more they will consider it.
I would hope that it would be ok to purchase shears. 😮
Thank you for the tips!
thanks for watching!!
Thank you Patty for all your tips, I am trying to organize my craft room, love the idea of the rainbow order. Also, thank you for the laugh about the dice😂, that is so funny

I use 2 old dishwasher silverware holders for my tools
great recycle and reuse idea!!
I see you have penguins..That makes me so happy to see other people love them like I do. 🙂
yep! love them.. I'm sure you saw our Christmas tree I posted in December... all penguins.

Thank you!!
Great information 👍
thanks!
I also love Avery job ticket holders. They are great for anything in 8 1/2" x 11 size. Super heavy vinyl.
yes, they are very similar to the ones I use from Stamp-n-Storage.. I store projects in them when I am designing for an event!
I use the passport holder for my embellishments and clear tray as well. I keep them in alphabetical order. So easy for me!
yay!!
Hi, from Colstrip Montana watching the replay
thanks for watching!

oh yes, great suggestions!
#replay, Patty, what advice would you give for cleaning the acrylic blocks? Thank you!!

I bought the passport pockets after I saw Jason Loucks use them. Really nicr.
yep, they are great!
Replay. Thank you!
I use a shoe organizer on the back of the door for punches, also use one for aium foil and plastic wrap etc
great idea!! I'd do that if I had a door.. but my loft is just open.
I watched the replay and thank you for sharing how you craft room is set up. At times I feel I am drowning in DSP and stamp sets. . I also loose stuff when I am crafting. I was wondering if you have the glass mat and if you use it. Thank you for sharing.
#question.
Yes, love the glass mat, you've probably seen me use it and mention it in my Friday crafting videos and in my card photos. The only reason I don't use it more on video is that the grids kind of "fool" my phone and it is not sure what to focus on... but I use it every day on my crafting table.
Good morning from Tasmania Australia ❤❤
The first step for dealing with scrap cardstock anxiety for me was to start pitching out 1/4” and 1/2” strips. That reduced the rest of the scraps to a manageable amount.
Yes, I agree.. that would be a great first step!!
Love your penguins. 😊 52:48
thank you!
Great video:) Tfs and God bless:)
So sweet of you .. thanks for watching!
Love your penguins. 😊
#REPLAY - I just subscribed - good luck! ❤ I purchased three of the passport packages during this video. I add my dies to magnets and place two sets (back to back) per die package. I use extra packs for scrap cardstock. If you ever want to sell any of your empty plastic die set packages, let me know. Thanks for all of the tips! 😉
yay! thanks for watching and subscribing!! So glad it was a helpful video!
Patty I have been following you and I just love your ideas! Can you please tell me how I go about finding your blog and all the things you use on Amazon that you were speaking of and do I get any kind of a discount for mentioning your name was 🌺 Stamp N Storage 🌺
Patty, can you also tell me where I can find your blogs?
yes, I share the link at the beginning of all videos, it's all inked in the description above, or you can find the page with all my blog organizing here: pattystamps.com/how-i-organize-my-craft-room-with-patty-bennett
I just came across your great craft storage & organization video. Thank you so much for sharing your insights! Would you mind sharing what plastic sleeves you use for your white die cuts?
Thanks for watching! Yes, I did explain that in the video (baseball card sleeves and vinyl bookmarks).. if you need more info let me know.
I have to have everything at my fingertips! My craft room is “messy” by comparison to some, but it works for me.
I have a very small room and a small desk.
I have utilized a Lazy Susan (large one, meant for the kitchen) on the corner of my desk and I have a collection of mugs in the center to hold various tools, often used markers, pencils, pokers, tweezers, blending brushes….The extra space around the mugs is great for keeping my color swatches and my Take Your Pick accessories so I can quickly change them out.
I tend to use sentimental things for storage- mugs from trips, tins from gifts, etc.
I have (from years ago, Office Depot) clear (frosty really) 6” cubes storage boxes that I use for all my adhesives, cleaners, stamping blocks, and markers. It’s made in pieces so I can customize it to suit my needs and it has a long thin footprint so it doesn’t take up desk space.
I already have the “passport” envelopes in my cart…
Thanks for all the awesome tips.
I wish they would bring back the pokey tool, I'm always looking for mine
me too!!
Good video thanks 😁
thank you!!
Replay. Love biggering!
I have no idea where that word came from LOL.. sometimes I crack myself up!!
Wow you have just freed (is that a word?) me. I am going to get rid of all my scraps. They are actually giving me anxiety too. I really liked this organization video. I will save the gold paper scraps though
So happy I could help... I can't tell you what a fabulous feeling it was to not worry about all the bins of scraps!
I don't understand why you would get rid of your scraps. At least not for the solid colors. My paper sorters have taller cubbies so I have room for the full sheets and a plastic envelope for the scraps. I die cut a lot and I sure wouldn't want to cut up a full sheet for a small die. I guess it just depends on what you have room for. 😊
I kept boxes of tiny scraps that I never use because it would take so much time to find the color I wanted. Usually with my tiny dies its not just one that I want so need "large "scraps which I do keep@@bethbenson1931
@@bethbenson1931 95% of what I create is in bulk for customer thank you cards (40 to 60 a week) and it is not time efficient for me to look through scraps to find 40 to 60 pieces to use, so i am much more efficient to use a 1/2 sheet and puzzle in as many die cuts as I can on that sheet. Hope that makes sense? I rarely ever have the need for a scrap smaller than 1/4 sheet. My 1/4 and 1/2 sheets are in my paper drawer of happiness.
@@pattystamps Well, that makes perfect sense. I am not a prolific stamper, so I use every scrap! 🙂
#replay I love those acrylic boxes. I have one with dies and embossing folders, one with 6x6 dsp, and one with the embellishments in it. Won’t alcohol wipes make the acrylic blocks foggy?
No, I have used them for over 10 years and they've never affected the blocks.
How do you organize your stamp sets
You can see them on the shelf behind me.. they are organized by categories like flowers, nature, holidays, animals, party, sentiments, etc.
How do you store scrap cardstock?
Just got to your answer in the video.
My husband got me the what’s for dinner dice for our anniversary 1/31/24
Watching Replay
thanks for watching!
Caught on replay. There are 8 different organizing styles. I'm one of those people who has to be able to SEE what I have... similar to yourself.
#Replay: I love the Avery Passport Sleeves for my embellishments. I use snack baggies for items I fussy cut or punch. i have used my label printer to label the front of my ink pads, ink refills, punches so I can see the names of the colors (Old Eyes). I love Stamp n Storage. Great tips! I have a hard time remembering what dsp I have. I have them in a drawer with marked packages. Do you have any tips for remembering what dsp you have? I forget what is in a whole packet. I use what I can see.
I have 1 of each package of DSP.. so I guess I don't really have to remember.. I just know it's there. But you could print out a checklist with each new catalog and keep it handy,.
i enjoyed your tips. Especially the D11 printer. I ordered one from Amazon the next day. Much to my dismay, upon installing the app to my iPhone i saw that it required a weekly, monthly, or yearly fee. Is there another app that is available for this printer? Thank you.
I have a samsung phone and my app was free. Not sure if it's different in the apple playstore? did you search for a free one?
I'm the same i have to see it, otherwise I forget about it!
