Using Travel Bags For Craft Supplies For Vacations Or On Road Trips

I am so excited I found a nice size travel bag to fit my coloring supplies in while on the go or to use at home. It is a Yeiotsy travel bag that measures approximately 8-1/2"L x 5-1/2W x 5-1/2"H filled. The entire set of Spectrum Noir Colorista markers fit in this bag along with a couple 5x7 Spectrum Noir Colorista coloring pads. There is plenty of room to fit more in this bag as you can see from the pictures. It is reasonably priced at 8.99 with Amazon's Prime shipping. The opening of the bag opens up wide to easily put your supplies in or take them out. It has a carrying handle at each end of the bag. There are 5 colors to choose from. I think I'm going to pick up another one. It is so nice to just be able to have everything in one place. When your on the go you can put it in your tote with everything secured in the bag with the zipper closure. 
This would also be nice for kids supplies when going on road trips or vacation. 

 

Diamond Press Word Die Storage

Diamond Press Word Die Storage
I am using a Diamond Press Die Storage Binder.
I cut out each word and adhered it on the magnet sheet.
Then I placed the die under the corresponding word.
I color coded them so I know which set they came from for posting projects on my blog.  Then when writing up my blog posts I can pass that information along to you.  The white is the Diamond Press Cardmaking dies. 

The blue are the Diamond Press Party dies.

By having the words cut out and adhered to the magnet sheet I know exactly what the word looks like cut out for when I want to use them in my projects. 

I store the Diamond Press Stamp and Die Sets in a Docrafts Stamp Storage Binder shown on the left.

 

Pictured above is the Diamond Press Stamp Set - Beautiful in the Docrafts Stamp Storage Binder.

 

Pictured above on the left is the Diamond Press coordinating dies for the Beautiful Stamp and Die Set in the Docrafts Stamp Storage Binder. Pictured on the right is the embossing folders that were part of the Beautiful Stamp and Die set. I put a magnetic sheet behind the dies. So when I go to use them I will then just put them on the magnetic sheet and take them off the white sheet they came on.


Happy Crafting!!

Totally Tiffany Teresa Buddy Bag Storage Ideas

I purchased the Teresa Buddy Bags By Totally Tiffany. While I was looking for things to put in it. I came up with the idea of storing my EK Success Mini Punches in there. It fits 13 punches of the new style punch.

It can also be used for Storing Martha Stewart 0.37 Glitter

You can store the .5 oz of Stickles Glue Glitter.

The 1 fl. oz. bottles of Stickles are too big for the Teresa Buddy Bag

This also works for some brands of Nail Polish.

This bag also works nice for the re-inkers for your stamp pads.

Happy Crafting!!

Anna Griffin Mix and Match Cuttlebug Embossing Folders

My Anna Griffin Mix and Match Embossing Folders arrived!
I put the sentiments in 3"x3" zip lock bags. ...
I labeled each zip lock bag with the name of the Sentiment was. I labeled the folders sleeves with the name of the Anna Griffin folder.

Homemade clip it up shoe rack

A friend told me about how you can make your own clip it up with a shoe rack.
So I decided to try it out. I just love it!!!
It has basket storage and you can clip up scrapbook embellishments for easy access.
I decorated it up to match my room and love how it turned out!!
I used plant liners in the basket part to keep my embellishments in there without falling out.
I cut a hole in the middle and put the liner in as I was  putting together each tier.
I also had to trim down the liner to the height of the basket.
It was easy to do.
I am going to use one of the baskets for my collection of washi tape.
I'm still trying to decide what items I want on the part where you can clip it up.
I like that it is decorative and adds  interest to my room.

5" x 7" Embossing Folder Storage with matching Border

I recently got some of the Anna Griffin embossing folders and cricut embossing folders.
Some of these have matching borders to go with the 5"x7" folder.

I purchase several Really Useful Boxes 3L capacity. They work perfectly for storing these embossing folders. I created folder files in Cricut Craft Room design software. I used From my kitchen cartridge.

For the cuttlebug companions I numbered each file folder to coordinate with the companion embossing folder sets.



For the Anna Griffin embossing folders I put the name of the folder on the file tab.

These folders have the names of the embossing folder right on the folder.

Then in the file folder divider I made a pocket in back to hold the corresponding border folder.

I store other Cricut embossing folders with matching borders this same way.

I absolutely love these Really Useful Boxes!!

Happy Crafting!

Teapot Plaques and Decorative Holders

Well I had to go back to the drawing board. My daughter liked the teapot plaque so much she asked me if I could do another one. Only flip the Teapot the opposite direction. I said I could do this.
Then she asked if she could have my decorative holder. I said I could make another one.
I'm just happy she liked them so much. I do have to admit 2 teapots are better then one.
I had my GD help me with the 2nd one. She really enjoyed painting the teapot plaque.
Here is my daughter's house warming present. 2 teapot plaques and a decorative holder.
I think these 3 pieces look good on stands too.  So now it is settled this is my daughter's house warming present!!!  She is very grateful and appreciative that I made these for her.

These decorative holders I made for myself. LOL

I'm keeping them for decorative Craft room storage!!

I'm might bling up the 2 side holders more. I just have decided yet.

I know sometimes when I post things on my blog.

I see things in a different light and make some changes.

So don't be surprised if you see me posting more about these pieces. LOL

Enjoy!!!!!

Decorating Your Storage Boxes

 Decorating Your Storage Boxes

I have been trying to think of some creative ways of leaving my storage containers out in the open. And have them as decorative accents for my Craft Room.

Pictured below I decorated envelope boxes and made them apart of my room decor. This gives me a nice decorative storage place for small items. In the bottom box pictured on the right I have my embossing folders stored. The top 2 boxes are envelope storage and the small box to the left is also envelope storage.

Supplies:

Mod Podge
Binderie
Decorative Pattern Paper
Krylon Clear Glaze Spray

Directions:

I altered the lid of the box by cutting the sides of the cover shorter.
I used Mod Podged on the paper to adhere it to the box.
I sealed the paper with Krylon Clear Glaze Spray.
I used my binderie to drill holes in the lids of the boxes to add a bow. 
They are a cute addition to my Craft Room.
