Cardstock Storage and Swatches for Cardmakers
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лип 2024
- Check out this video to see how I've updated my cardstock storage and how I create cardstock swatches to keep track of all my cardstock colors that I use in cardmaking. I like being able to see the colors of cardstock that I have in my card making stash and be able to easily remove and replace cardstock pieces I am looking for. So I chose these clear document file folders to organize my colorful cardstock. I label the folders with my Brother P Touch Label Maker. For each color of cardstock that I own I cut 4 A2 panels out of 1 sheet and place those A2 panels on my desk. I create a swatch book of those cardstock colors so that I can easily see what color I am using if I need to grab a bigger piece of cardstock for die cutting or creating.

Love the way you've swatched, I got some good ideas from you. Thank you!
Thanks! So glad to hear that!
I'm not sure I need this but I love it. Maybe if I get more cardstock.
Great plans! Great results!
A suggestion. I know I sometimes use "second generation stamping". Knowing how the 2nd stamping looks next to full strength and other 2nd stamping, can make my choices for stamping much faster and less wasteful. I think I would put that colour on my swatch cards too. Just a thought.
There are a couple of ideas I will implement. I already have many of the discs to make my own water colour books for art journaling. I'm also in the process of doing a major purge in my craft room. When I get tired of deciding if I want this or that, I'll organize my 8x11 to take a break.

A second generation swatch is a great idea! I don't do much second generation stamping so not necessary for me.
Good luck on your purge. I need to do one too! I have a whole laundry basket full of things I need to giveaway already and I need to make room for more!
I love combing the matchy-matchy stuff onto 1 swatch piece!
Thanks for the paper storage tips! One thing to think about is cutting out a piece of white paper from the smaller rectangular die and stamping the ink on that to adhere to the colored paper swatch roll. You'll save having to have 2 different rolls.
This video is a lifesaver!! I have had the same issue storing my burgeoning card stock collection in the job ticket holders. Thank you!!
So glad to hear it was helpful!!
Thanks for a great video. Storing card stock is an evolving process I think. I love all your tips. 💖
Thanks for watching!
It really is! Every part of my organization changes as I change what I need out and visible!
Thanks so much!
This looks like an organization that I could live with long-term.
That's exactly what I was hoping to find!
Thanks for Another great inspiring video. You have motivated me to get on the ball with organizing all of my card stock, ink, dies, stamps, etc. Thank you so much for sharing. I will be ordering the waffle flower swatching items that I do not currently have.
I know it is a bit of work, but I think you will be so happy with swatched and organized supplies! If you are looking for more organization videos, I have a whole playlist here: ua-cam.com/play/PLk4tRUVuI1Jpsp_6119WuCqGA2X-xORYA.html
Excellent tips to organize our supplies! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Super great ideas!! I like that you have a small piece of cardstock on the ink swatches.
Thank you! This is my first time incorporating that into my swatch book, but I really like it too!
I really really enjoy your videos!!! I always learn something new and always learn such great ideas! ❤️
Thanks so much, Missy! 😊 I really appreciate your kind words!💕
Super organized and funny ending love ❤️ your out takes
💕
This is such a great video and an excellent storage idea! I really like the idea of swatching my paper so I can see what I have instead of rummaging around.
Thanks so much! The cardstock swatchbook is super helpful! Especially when you have multiple shades of one color!
Looks great and very easy process
Thank you! It was very easy and really the whole process went pretty quickly!
Great video, very helpful! 💙
So glad to hear it was helpful!
Very well done, love it. Tfs
Thanks so much 😊
Good information to know ❤️
Glad it was helpful!
Clever idea...now I just need to FIND my colored cardstock!
Thanks! LOL, I know how that is....I have a pile of supplies on my floor from the last 10 videos I've filmed that need to be put away. Finding anything in there is next to impossible.
I just love this !!!!
Thank you!💕
Great ideas!
Thank you! 😊
I love ypur organization of your cardstock and inks!!! I would probably mess this up in no time but I am intrigued! Thanks for sharing.
Well, my floor is a disaster lol, but everything else that I have organized in this and in previous videos has pretty much stayed organized so far. My problem is putting things away after a project when I am busy I tend to make piles and then those piles get out of control! LOL
Thanks !!! Going to get !
I am loving them!
Thanks for the tips.
Thank YOU for watching!
I love paper and I love organisation, and I definitely have an addiction, so I will say this video is like cocaine to me. Soooo good! If I had as much paper as you, I could definitely die happy. And it looked so good once you had finished reorganising. Thank you so much for sharing, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Take care and stay safe. Side note; My brother is in Colorado at the moment sending us all pictures and videos of hiking and basball and basketball games. He is making me so jealous! He said it is definately warmer than we are over here. Have a great day and thanks again
Sounds like your brother is having a great trip! We are supposed to hit 117 this week so I am definitely NOT looking forward to that. But on a positive note, the pool has finally warmed up lol!
Wow! You are really organized! I need to do this...you have inspired me. By the way, the Christmas trees are ready to go. I will put some up on Instagram next weekend for all to see!
I organize tiny spots at a time. My floor is still unfortunately a disaster. It looks like a hurricane blew all the supplies from the last 10 videos on the floor! lol
Can't wait to see your trees!
Great ideas:) Tfs:) God Bless:)
Neat document folders! BTW, I’ve found - well Jennifer McGuire found! - that there’s good stability if the job ticket holders are in a magazine holder with the magazine holder set so there’s no lip in the front. I’d guess that can be done with the project folders you’re using. I’d need to continue that since my cardstock is all in magazine holders on top of Alex units. Like Jennifer, I trimmed off the strip with holes on the job ticket holder. There’s no side wall.
Can you come to my house and do this for me?! Great system!
Nicely done& thanks for sharing your tips too! Hugs my crafty Sister XOXOXO
Thanks so much for spending time with me, my friend!! 💕
I use the job ticket holders also but I either stand them with the "top at the top", or I put them in backwards so the top is toward the back of the cabinet. That way I can clearly see what color I need. I like the idea of swatching though and just might have to do that!
I think it got to be an aesthetic thing for me. I was tired at looking at the edges of the tickets holders and love seeing the rainbow clearly on display. Silly I know, but I have a teeny space and I want every inch of it to look pretty AND be functional.
Rebecca!!!! I'm a mess thanks for the helpful tips
What you don't see in this video is my floor.😬 Absolute disaster including piles of things I STILL need to put away from the last 10 videos or so!😂
😂😂😂😳🤗 I understand! I'm trying to film now for the last two hours 😔🤣 haven't started yet
@@BeverlyLeeCreates Totally get it! I try to get most of my filming done on the weekend because my husband and I share the office during the week, but I never get nearly enough done!
I love this. What do you do for 12 x 12 paper ?
I use these We R stackable trays: • Amazon.com : We R Memory Keepers 4 Piece 12 x 13 Inch Stackable Trays...

File folders is what I use - because I couldn't find job ticket holders
I definitely love these because they are closed in the back, but I can see the colors just looking at the shelf and from the front and back as I am flipping through too! I bought extra so I will have some if I get more colors because I like them so much!
How many pieces of paper fit into the foroffice paper holder you switched over to?
So these folders come flat packed so they look like they can't hold much, but the bottom is super flexible and so I am able to fit definitely 25 sheets of heavy cardstock easily and it still looks neat and organized.
What is the difference between cardstock and cardstocks
How to make it in the plural form
Isnt A2 bigger than A4?

How many sheets of card stock will fit into each pocket?
Generally I just put a pack of cardstock in one which is usally about 24 sheets, but I do have one folder filled with 50 sheets and it holds those fine as well.
Do u know how to get the brother to stop wasting tape??
If you change the label to CHAIN rather than single it will allow you to keep printing labels without all the additional wasted tape.
Do you keep your cardstock together by color or so you separate each company?
For a while I kept them all together just by color, but now that so many cardmaking companies have full sets of cardstock colors, I do separate them out by company. But that's mainly because when I am designing for a particular company, I like to use their colors when I have them available. :)
@@RebeccaKeppel thanks for taking time to reply! I don’t design for anyone so I may just keep mine together by color. Right now I just have TE and C9. But I want GinaK and SSS too. 😬
Love you and your videos!💗
@@lisagardner1644 you wouldn’t think I needed anymore cardstock but I have the new C9 colors on my wish list!!
Thanks for the kind words, Lisa! So glad you are here. 💗
@@RebeccaKeppel I have their first set of cardstock and am super excited for all the new colors!! Have a great weekend!
@@lisagardner1644 same here! You too!
Help!! I have so much cardstock!!
Hope this helps you get organized so you can still see all the colors you have!
What about 12 x 12?
I don't have any 12x12 papers.
@@RebeccaKeppel it’s cool I went on Amazon and found some!!! Loved your video tho and especially LOVED the swatch idea!!!!! Totally doing that. Thank you!
@@clhowy87 oh yay! Glad you found ones that would work for you!
