Becca ribbon storage idea

In Becca's words:
To begin I purchased one of these three drawer units from Michaels for around $10.00, a package of small black hair rubber bands and purchased a sheet of mat board which I cut down into pieces measuring 2.5" wide by 2" high. I decided on the matboard because I found cardboard bobbins you can purchase at the craft store to be too small and too flimsy. I divided the drawers into four sections by putting in three 13" pieces of matboard and anchoring them with tape. I rolled all my ribbon that were lengths of 5 yards and less onto the bobbins that I had cut. Now, just a warning, the rolling of the ribbon takes a little bit of time. I saved it by rolling when I was watching TV and even carried a small bag of ribbon and bobbins in the car to roll while I was waiting in the car or at the doctor office.

There are even more ideas on how to store ribbons.

Donna Downey new storage idea

Not sure if everyone can afford space wise to store ribbon this way, but I still think it is a quite a pretty idea.


I love this idea for wall spaces where depth is the issue.

Tim Holtz ideas

This retro style spinner is a a Ranger product. Tim Holtz used it to hold the new ink blending tools, each applicator was destined for a shade of inks and a little colored sticker on the top indicated which one (if you click on the photo you will barely see the sticker on the applicators).


The Cropper Hopper Tim Holtz carry case for embossing powders properly decorated with his new acrylic tiles called fragments.


Those two carry cases contain what they were designed for. The one on the left holds the distress inkpads, the one on the right has inside the alcohol inks.


This is not a storage idea but an essential way to know what inks, paint or paper you have got and how they look once applied and dried. Each product range is in a separate ball chain.

Anam Stubbington studio

I love the little white shelf thingy with the inkpads and the plastic hanging display with her stamps.

Donna Wild' studio

This post is for those who think that is necessary to have a massive studio to create wonders of paper crafting. Donna Wild is a super talented photographer and scrapbooker that has this studio. I think it's great, to the point, with little sweet and practical details, and with a large table to craft.

Cutting mat to fit

How you ever wanted a self healing mat that fit exactly the size of your table?
Well you can and even you can choose with or without printed grid. For more info and prices click here.

I found it as usual by looking through my favorite blogs, in this case Donna Downey (above, that is her studio, for her blog click here).

Kim Reygate's studio

Kim (above) is one of the best stampers I know and has a true amazing studio full to the celieng with stamps, ink pads and card, every stamper dream,.

Kim keeps her stamps in A3 plastic envelopes, like the one above, and then stack all the envelopes on top of each other, in a few shelves. kim has over forty different plastic envelopes which if you multiply the 16 large stamps that fit in each envelope works up to an enormous amount.


Another great idea of Kim is to keep sort them into categories (an envelope will have flowers, another one trees...) and then photocopy their images. Those copies then go into a folder which acts like a catalog of all the rubber stamps she has.



Other stuff includes a large ammounts of embossing powders (above to the left), on going projects for different companies, each in a different 12 x 12" plastic box (above photo to the right).

Magazines in holders (above, this is just a tiny section, it goes all round two walls of the studio).


All sorts of ink pads sorted by type in the middle shelf of an Ikea unit. Also Kim displays her new acquisitions in those shelves which are quite prominent.

Martha Stewart Crafts Storage

If I rewind back to early year 2000, I would just had bought Martha Stewart Weddings. That was how I found out that Martha Stewart existed. She is/was completely unknown in Spain.
Anyway, since then I have been in awe of her.
So fast forward to the present. What do I think of the Martha Stewart's Crafts range? Well, mixed feelings really, but love the presentation and the looks of their storage range. I am not sure if it's pricey, because of the exchange rate so good for us (UK). But non the less, here some you have the two things that I so far love, The ribbon box (above in Walnut colour, for more info click here) and the Photo Box (below, in Cloud, for more info click here).
As far as I am aware, they are only sold in Michaels and from the Martha Stewart website.
