What's Happening at Stampin' Up!

On today's blog post, I am keeping my message brief so that you can read about what's happening at Stampin' Up! In the upcoming months, there will be changes in packing, product availability, and manufacturing. Our world is changing, and therefore, the raw materials needed to produce items are in short supply. Also, customers' wishes change, and Stampin' Up! listens to their opinions. Here we go with the news!

Take care,

Tips on Organizing Cardstock, Ink, and Blends

Tip on Organizing Cardstock, Ink, and Blends

My order for the new cardstock from Stampin' Up!  is complete. I'm eager to try the mixed-color packages while scrapbooking and designing cards. Watch for my fall ideas! 

Two-tone cardstock offers a wealth of possibilities. It's an ideal layering option without adding bulk, and its white core means you can tear, crumple, sand, and emboss your way to fun effects, whatever your crafting skill level. Its smooth texture is ideal for stamping, making clean cuts, achieving crisp folds, and applying seamless colors. And because it's 12" x 12", you can use it as a scrapbook base or cut it to use as part of your card-making projects. 

Today, I am sharing tips and a free PDF on how to organizing cardstock. Check out the helpful ways to organize inks and Blends using a color chart.

Take care,

Linda Ann

Tips on Organizing Stampin' Up! Cardstock

For years, I have been collecting organizational supplies. Cardstock was my Achilles heel. I tried expanding portfolios, paper sleeves, hanging files, vertical paper holders, and plastic totes. All of the products worked well for storing my supplies - until I started working on my paper crafts. One day, I saw an advertisement for Stamp-n-Storage located in Minnesota. They were having a sale with free shipping, so I decided to try one of their crafted wooden Paper Holders for 8.5" x 11" cardstock. Eventually, I became a Stamp-n-Storage Affiliate because I wanted to "spread the word" about their storage!

After creating a spreadsheet by sorting the colors according to the Hex Colors, I placed fifteen sheets of cardstock into the IKEA-sized Paper Holder. Each color had its very own slot! After a day of card making, I immediately ordered more Paper Holders. A few months later, I ordered two of the 12" x 12" units for my DSP. 

Inside each slot, I placed a Stamp-n-Storage Paper Sleeve for my scraps! Since each tab is labeled with the name of the cardstock, this idea works well to keep the paper organized. For my Designer Series Papers (DSP), I placed the cardboard info sheet inside the folder for two reasons: to reference the coordinating cardstock colors and to protect my precious paper from the sun's rays. A piece of typing paper works well in the cardstock folders, too.

One of my favorite tips for storing small leftover cardstock is using the stackable storage containers from Dollar General. (I am not an affiliate.) I found these handy containers in the cake decorating department! The containers come in various sizes. Remember to use their Saturday coupon to save money.

After some organization, I will be adding my newly purchased 12" x 12" Two-Toned Cardstock to the larger holders. I have a link below for a free copy of the Color Chart on how I organize the cardstock. Not only is the chart handy for use with paper, but it is also a practical way to organize Stampin' Ink Pads in the Carousel and Blends in the Marker Holder.

Have you used the Color Coach?

Another tool that I recommend for color organizing is the Color Coach. This wheel includes the colors in the Annual Catalog, but not the In Colors.
