**VIDEO** Organizations – Cardstocks

May 25, 2013

DSCN5872
My journey of finding the best organization solutions for the craft studio never ends! I constantly try to find a better way to improve my current solutions. I LOVE organizing!!!! (You can tell I am a neat freak)

I have a 10×10 room where I work and craft and spend most of my days here. I do not like to leave things out and my materials all have place they stay. Today, I am sharing my quick tip on cardstock organization. So far this is the best solution I came up with, without taking too much space in my studio.

SCRAPS & STAMPS TIPS:

– I used this rolling file cart to store my cardstocks currently. It slides in and out nicely, so when I am done working on projects, I simply slide it in underneath my cutting area desk so it doesn’t take much space. I found the rolling file cart here. Make sure to shop around to get the best price!

– My cardstocks are sorted by the color collection, then by the specialty papers (water color papers, silver papers, vellumes, etc.). I labeled them using the Viewable Labeling systems and they all have the true color of the actual paper. I simply used the web color catcher to math the cardstock colors. It does take a while but so worth it! It is very easy to locate certain colors when needed.

Let’s chat up! How do you organize your cardstocks? Leave comments below, would love to see how others organize.

Where do you live? I could sure use you to help me organize everything. I have been hunting for my favorite scissors for 3 days now. Can’t imagine what I did with them. They are in that room somewhere.

    Hi Deinse, I got it online- you can get them from any stationary stores and look for clear file folders. They are pretty affordable price too 🙂

Hi Nicole,

I just ordered your awesome labels, thank you SO much for making them available. I love the cart you used as well & am considering it. I was wondering, do you think there is enough room for 1 pkg of cs in each folder?

    Hi Ann, I usually put 1/2 packet of cardstocks and put the other half in my craft closet with other extra materials 🙂

Hi, where did you get your extra large legal hanging file holders? All the ones I’ve found have been no bigger than 10×14.

    Hi Tammy, I made those myself. It is pretty easy to do so, you can google how to make 12×12 hanging file folders and there will be instructions for you to follow. It is not hard but just time consuming.

        I believe you can get them at local crafting stores or at amazon.com – I just googled it before to create 12×12 file folders but the post I referred to before doesn’t seem to exist anymore. I will email you if I find it 🙂

    31/60 Today’s Color - Cobalt Teal Blue

We are now giving into the world of greens! Starting with this lovely emerald color with lots of granulation - I know granulation in watercolor is a turn off for some but I am fascinated by it. I think its lovely to see these gritty textures 💕

    30/60 Today’s Color - Manganese Blue Hue

This textury, lovely color is the last blue pigment I selected for the custom palette. You can see there are lots of granulation going on and how clean the lifting is. Lots to love about in this color 💕

    28/60 Today’s Color - Phtalo Blue

Here is a beautiful blue shade to get rid of anyone’s Monday blues! 😂 I definitely needed a quick eye break to see this lovely color from today’s craziness. Hope your week is off to a wonderful start! 💙

    27/60 Today’s Color - Verditer Blue

Last color of February (can you believe its March already? 😱) Ending the month with another blue color from my custom palette - and I have a couple more blues to share before heading to the next color family 😉 This one was little tricky to move around with its granulating property,  i had to layer quite a bit to get the intense look. But the lifting was oh so easy with this color! Hardly any staining.

    26/60 Today’s Color - Cobalt Blue

This has to be one my all time fav from the Daniel Smith collection. Look at the rich, bold color with wonderful granulation. Can’t get enough of this! 😍

    25/60 Today’s Color - Ultramarine Blue

Look at this bright/bold blue hue 😍 I am so in love with this shade and the granulation it has. While staining is very minimal, you’ll be able to get a rough feel texture with this and take advantage of the granulation effect!

    23/60 Today’s Color - Indanthrone Blue

This lovely dark, cool blue reminds me of a deeper layer of ocean. A bit of navy blue and a hit of royal blue well mixed. It is super easy to create transparent layer with this color, and the staining is very minimal 💙

    23/60 Today’s Color - Mayan Dark Blue

This color totally reminds me of whales! 🐳 🐋 (thus it fitting perfectly to my brush holder prop!) This deep, rich, intense dark blue would be wonderful for expressing depths and shades 😍
