Must-Try Springtime Organization Tips for Paper Crafting from Tranquillity Cottage Designs: Organization Series 7



Springtime Updates from Linda Ann

Are you experiencing springtime excitement, too? I worked out in my cottage studio on Monday, hoping to highlight finished tasks in my planner, only to admit it will take more than a day to get caught up!


The good news is that I have a list to follow:

  • Stamping' Up! posted the latest catalog online for demonstrators; therefore, I have been busy updating my storage. I can't wait to show you the latest stamps, dies, DSP, and the newest In-Colors that go live in May, in addtion to the Online Exclusives. 
  • Stamp-n-Storage has a week of sales. Yippee! I ordered my much needed  plastic sleeves and magnets. I love their quality wooden paper and punch holders. See Shopping links here.
  • I decided to move my hi-low desk in front of the window to create a U-shaped design. What is your favorite desk shape?
  • During the move, I destashed a few products that will be listed on eBay within a month. 
  • Did I tell you that I love to organize? I think it's the challenge of finding a place for everything, when a person has years and years of hobby supplies. Look for my latest ideas for storing supplies. I am very pleased with the outcome of my newest purchases. Today's blog post is all about 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper.

In my 2025 organization blog tips, I introduced ToteScan to my readers. It's a QR Code that has helped me with my quilting projects. Now, starting in March of 2026, my goal is to finish UFOs (unfinished objects).


I have a good start on Memory Making Stampin' Up! kits, and after joining Craft Some Joy's POPs and Monthly Meetups by Creative Memories, Lauren Hines. She doesn't sponsor this "shout out" - I tend to accomplish much with her techniques.


Then there's the chart for following unfinished quilting projects with The Fabric Patch in Ironwood, MI. The end of March is coming soon. YIKES! I only have a few days to complete a seasonal stitchery. I will share it with you when I finish. Have you ever joined a UFO group? It's an excellent way to complete projects you have been putting off.


I can hear USPS at my door. My Stampin' Up! order has arrived! What fun.


Take care,

Linda Ann

Organization: Series 7

Creative Storage Solutions for Your 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Collection

 I prefer to keep my current and retired products separated.  My Six-inch square DSP is organized in a Stamp-n-Storage Paper Holder. Each slot holds one paper collection and a sleeve. The Paper Sleeves are purchased separately; I use the sleeves to hold scraps of DSP.

 Tips on Storing Current 6" x 6" DSP

Place the Designer's Series Paper into the Stamp-n-Storage Paper Holder. I prefer to use the Paper Sleeves to hold my scraps. The sleeves fit into the slots.

Place the index sheet in the back of the Paper Sleeve to identify details about the DSP. 

Tips on Storing the Retired DSP

Once the DSP retires, I transfer the collection to a 
7" x 7" clear envelope with a flap. The hook and look closure keeps dust off the papers. I liked these envelopes so much that I ordered them mulitple times! 


Notice how the Paper Sleeve fits inside the clear envelope! 



This clear iDesign, 14.5" L x 8" W x 4" H, refrigerator bin works perfectly for storing the retired collection. I store the container in a space next to the paper holder, which keeps the 6" x 6" papers together. 



My Brother's Label Maker is vintage, and highly recommended for a quality product to label and identify your paper collection. Presently, I store the DSP alphabetically but I am in the process of switching to a themed organization system that coordinates with the 12"x12" papers.

Big Changes Happening with Stampin' Up! Products


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,

Stamp and Die Organizers


  • The new Stamp & Die Organizers will be space-saving with friendly updates that make it easier to store stamps and dies together.
  • Starting November 4, 2025, the 5-5/8" x 9" organizers will be available in packs of ten.
  • The Standard Stamp Cases will be available to purchase but will part of the review process to see if they need to retire in the future.
  • Clear packaging will allow the inside product to be seen.
  • An envelope closure includes a tuck-in flap for ease of opening and closing.
  • Die packaging will exhibit art work to identify the product! 
  • Embossing folders will not be changing at this time.
  • Note: I measured the Stamp-n-Storage magnet. It's size is 4 7/8" wide x 6 3/4" high; therefore, the magnet card will fit inside of the SU Organizers.
