Organizing my Embossing Folders!!

Hello,

I'm on an organizing mission. Last week I was organizing my stamps from Paper Pumpkin. Next up...Embossing Folders.

I was inspired by my upline to organize all of my Embossing Folders. I used to have them in a small photo album. One one side was a sample of the style and on the other side was the folder. It became too big and started bulging. So, I decided a new container was needed.

I cut some thin cardboard as dividers, adhered the sample and then wrote the name of the folder on it. Then, put the folder in front of the divider.

For the retired folders, I just marked them with a red "X"

They fit perfectly in a container I got from Daiso, the Japanese version of the Dollar Store, but everything is $1.50 unless marked, and sales are final, no refunds or exchanges. This container was $4.00.

It's perfect for my crafting days so I can just carry them in this container and have them accessible to use at everyone's fingertips.

Thank you for checking in!

Organizing 3 years of My Paper Pumpkin stamps and instructions!!

Hello,
I found a new way to store my Paper Pumpkin stamp sets.

Don't know what Paper Pumpkin is? It's a monthly kit that comes to you to satisfy your crafting needs.
I've been a subscriber for 3 years (since it's inception) and have collected a number of stamp sets. This is how I have been storing my Paper Pumpkin stamps.
I went online and printed out the inserts that Stampin' Up! offered to demonstrators and slipped them into the Standard Stamp cases.

They would stay next to my framelits and stamps that I have on my shelf. Honestly, I don't think I used them at all. After SU! announced Paper Pumpkin's 3 year anniversary, I realized there were sets I probably haven't even touched since the very beginning.

So, I bought the 6X8 Project Life pages, and put them in an album I already had. The pockets are perfect for all the different sizes of stamps.

Even the older ones that were rubber can fit.

I love all the different size pockets that fit all the different size stamps

Next step is to hole punch the instructions and insert into the binder for inspiration.

So now, the binder is next to my framelits and I can take them down ALL at once.
