Craft Room Tour from Brandy Cox - Independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator

[@theirishslyeyes]

I had to pause the video half way through, just to say that it's so evident that you have found your life's passion and your excitement for stamping is SO contagious! It's just after 11 PM, and I should be in bed asleep, but now all I want to do is go play in my stamping room!!

[@sweetpo11]

I keep my reinkers in a flat "tackle" box, too. I put a grid on the inside of the lid that shows me where each color is located in the box. I put a spot of each color on the gird with its name, which allows me to quickly find the ink that I am looking for. I am enjoying your videos so much! I have made several cards with the "embroidered" edge and it goes over great with recipients of those cards. Thanks!!!

[@sarahhugen1729]

I won't have a dedicated craft room till my daughter leaves home (and she says never!) so in the mean time I am setting up in the spare bedroom. You have given me some wonderful ideas. Thank you so much!

[@cathyscroggy7574]

It's nice to see other craft spaces, maybe pick out something that might be helpful to do in my space. BUT it's also nice to see that your craft space has the same box of markers and where ever the stamp box fits is where it goes. I love it! Thank you for sharing.

[@Marg79419]

Simple, organized and warm. You have done a wonderful job with your craft room.

[@facsmom]

Thanks for the REAL tour, I am encouraged by your saving retired things you like. Why should I totally discard it if I like it even if the company makes a different business decision. At some point I wished I had index cards, sharpie, and masking tape so I could label some of your drawers for you lol. I also am a demo. I find so many of us just want to share our passion. PERIOD! Taking the 30 or so minutes to watch was a Mother's day gift to myself. It was ONEderful!

[@1985sheshe]

Great space, Brandy! Thank you for sharing your ideas and your life with us! If I lived closer I would definitely come stamp with you! You are a very welcoming and wonderful lady

[@sylviaahensley]

Great craft room!

[@duckigrrl]

Even though this is an older video I just had to watch it. I love seeing Stamp/ Craft room set ups. I enjoyed seeing some of the older things that SU! has sold and retired since then. Thanks for the ideas and the trip down memory lane. :)

[@brandyscards]

Thanks for Watching Dottie!

[@janoirmoon5099]

thanks for sharing your craft room. You are so down to earth and real. I share your love of stamping as well.

[@melgrimm5346]

Thanks for sharing your crafting room with all of us. I am finally getting a craft room for myself & you gave me quite a few great ideas! I wish that I lived close so that I could attend one of your classes.

[@Cynphoenix56]

Hi Brandy, I love your authenticity! I too love crafting and stamping. You've inspired me to look into becoming a StampinUp Demonstrator. I look forward to seeing more of your vids and creative work. Cynthia.

[@leapayear]

Thanks for the tour of your awesome craft room, Brandy! Your videos are wonderful.

[@sweetpo11]

I love to see how crafters organize their craft rooms... and I appreciated seeing yours! Thank you.

[@carolmelancon]

I've become a "store display" junkie for organization. It's more affordable than you'd expect and so neat and sturdy. I started with grid wall for my beading supplies and closet, then got some slat wall for hanging pots in my kitchen. I've just installed pegboard in my craft room. Too bad I got the free standing paper holders from Display Dynamics from a scrapbook site before I found out they make slat wall/pegboard compatible trays.

[@Carolstamps]

So glad you shared your craft room ideas. Glad to see you are not perfect, yet you do know where your stuff is, and you create beautiful cards and things. Thanks for sharing your videos...and thanks for being inspirational to all of us. I am also a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. I live in Illinois. Where do you live? Some day I would love to meet you and see your inspiring cards in person. Maybe some day.

[@SouthernAngelsStamping]

Hi Brandy.. Wow!! Love All the great stuff that you have for crafting!! I LOVE to craft but dont have much money to get many of the tools that i have been needing!! LOVE to scrapbook to!!! Wish you lived here in KY near me so I could come use some of your stuff and be in your classes.. I'd LOVE it!! I dont have any one to scrapbook or do my crafting with and wish I did. fixing up a craft room so i can make & sale craft on line now.At least i'll try.

[@TheJackieo1960]

I love the tour, on the ribbon, I bought stick pins and stuck one in each roll of ribbon. It was time consuming but keeps them from unrolling and looking so messy!

[@PatsTreasuresNCrafts]

I absolutely LOVE your craft space! I totally dream of the day I can have room to do classes in my home. It's tough when you don't have space. I'd love for you to do a video for the demonstrators that are just starting out. Kind of like an advice video. :) TFS your lovely room! ~ Pat

[@patchichester5296]

Thanks so much for sharing. I'm having a room built onto my house for a craft room I got lots of good Ideas from your video. Love the punches on the wall, and all the nice cards around. Take Care, Pat Florida

[@mrhoffame]

Beautiful room and beautiful woman. Your husband is very lucky. Happy crafting :)

[@CraftynotShiftyblog]

Your craft room is fantastic! I only have a very small craft space but I would love to have a bigger craft space when I move. Love stamping up products - currently trying to find a demonstrator here in the UK

[@donnadoering5125]

Love your craft room it's so organized, an you explain things very well. You such beautiful person an happy one. I've done some of your cards they are easy to follow. Just Love the layout of your craft room, Take care. Watch you on KZbin a lot. From Canada.😂😊😇😇

[@brandyscards]

Hi Andrea, Congrats! Welcome to the Stampin Up family! Yes, you can order them through your demonstrator website. Typically I purchase mine at convention; however, I do know they are available through the SU Demo website. I'd start by going to where you order catalogs and supplies. Hope this helps. Brandy

[@GirlGeekLovesStampin]

It was so amazing how you have everything organized, and I was impressed that everything you "love". Would you be willing to revisit and share your 10-15 favorite things....cause if you love everything.....awesome video!

[@rainlyte2003]

My OCD kicked in major! LOL I have the strongest desire to reorganize your sentiments boxes and regroup them in their 'sets'. Thanks for the room tour. I know this is an older one, but let me get to know you a bit. Creative Blessings!

[@rebeccapfeifer2376]

I really enjoyed your video, Brandy. I'm envious at how effortlessly you speak on camera! You have a beautiful and inspirational craft room. :)

[@jessicakultti]

Your craftroom is great! I love it, and your organizing is great too!

[@leatricereints9862]

Beautiful room! I have been kicking the idea around of becoming a Stampin Up demonstrator and after viewing your video I do believe I am going to give it a go. Hopefully within the next month. Thank you for the inspiration and ideas!

[@darlenebutler4023]

I really love your videos, I am in Canada and fairly new to card making. But am definitely following you!

[@angelafitzsimmons9009]

My husband says, "nope you can't have a craft room like her!!" lol. Thanks for the tour of your room!

[@kazzwill21]

thank you for the vid of your craft room, it is just AMAZING and a real inspiration to me to get off my duff and finish mine. am in australia and would love to know about stampin up. I have looked at sooo many of these room vids but yours is by far the best visual and how you explained about it all.

[@carolebronico4678]

I love that you are so down to earth. Great video.

[@deannatillmon]

Brandy, I just love your craft room. It is such an inspiration to me. I love stamping have been in love with it for a long time. Actually about 10 yrs and about half of that as a demonstrator, but recent had to step down as such for medical reason, very hopeful to come back, but I keep on stamping any for people.I want to know about the scrapbook in the video I have a grandson (1st) want to do one for him it is just the right size . Teach me how, please! Thank for all your wonderful tutorials.

[@Cardstamper54]

What a great room! I love it. I don't hold demonstrations because I don't think I'm good enough but and my room is too small but I have close to the same amount of stamp sets and Ive been a demonstrator for about 3 yrs. :p

[@hevenly11]

I love your videos I have followed some of your videos I think there amazing thank you Im just starting out wish my craft room looked like yours

[@alexandrucodret]

You have a great and excelent Craft space ! I love your craft room.

[@nancyalmquist2336]

Hi Brandy, LOVELY room!! I do a similar thing with my ribbons - however, I use quilting straight pin and pin the ribbon to itself in the roll - kind of like the tape typically used to hold the ribbon when you first purchase it. But the pin is easier to remove and replace to keep it from unraveling from the entire roll. Just my tip of the day :)

[@susanhyde5381]

Brandy -- ooohh...hate the ribbon "roll" too!! I use the very small craft "straight pins"..just stick them into the bolt at the end of the ribbon to keep them from unrolling. They come in 100 or so in a small container - got mine at Michaels. Works great!

[@Luvstamp07]

Love your room Brandy, if it works for you, keep calm and craft on!

[@IreneMendes]

Amazing craft room. Beautiful, simple and everything organize!!!!! Thank you for the great ideas!!!! hug, Irene

[@The1952trouble]

Love your craft room. Do you have a video on how to do the ceramic coasters? Wish I lived close to you,your such an inspirational person. Blessings to you.

[@GoLeeLee69]

Nice room Brandy!!! You're so honest and sweet!!! TFS Alisa

[@susanthurman3615]

So cool! Enjoyed very much! You've got it together gal! Have a great day! Susan

[@clairearcand1884]

Thanks for all your good ideas, I’m just a starter so this is good for me.

[@stacyshoenjohnston874]

I wish I could take one of your classes in person. I know it would be great!

[@GracieViola]

Will you be posting a new craft room tour? I love the new rainbow paper background :)

[@KmayD6]

Also for markers, if your hubby is handy, PVC attached together and placed in a box and markers can be separated by color, also found on Pinterest and/or Splitcoast.

[@saraparker3093]

This video is so good I watch it every day

[@missingmatt22]

Love your room! It seems so bright and cheerful. Have you tried using a vinyl gutter from the hardware store to store your ribbon in? I have mine horizonally, but you could use it vertically in a corner so you could see your ribbon at a glance.

[@ccyinyang04]

Thank you for keeping this video to share! I feel better now that it's ok that your scrap booking items are not always organized. I sware, I thought it was just me. There is always a better storage system. I have yet to find one. Thanks again :)

[@tdw5775]

Omg, Your craft room is to die for💗💖💗

[@1HappyScrappyMom]

LOVE YOUR BOOTS!!!! Tfs your crafty space.

[@KarenKruger1970]

what a great space. wish you were closer to me so I could take your classes

[@jo7107]

absolutely wonderful...love it!!!!

[@hayleyash9515]

great craft room, would love a room like that!! but don't have the room yet, so my crafty room is my dinning table lol :))

[@emilythechef]

Great craft room. Thanks for the tour. You're adorable :)

[@forsalebymb]

I know this is an old video and you have a different scrap room but if you have not found a good way to store rolls of ribbon, try gutters. I went through all the ways yoh mentioned then had my husband put up 2 long gutters. I layed swim noodles inside them from the dollar tree and LOVE them. You could cut the gutters and do maybe 4 rolls of a few feet long under each other. I have had it this way about a year and will stick with it.

[@ohMamarazziScrapbookingVicky]

WOW - this vid is long but it went by very quickly! You are a HOOT! Love your room, goodies... and BOOTS!

[@mrsc3271]

Thank you for sharing! What a lovely space :)

[@digupstuff]

OMG!!! You have the perfect craft room!!! Mine is just a small 6x6 foot room, but I still manage. For the most part, I TRY to hide all of my crafts due to the excess amount of DUST that we have here in this pecan orchard! LOL! My husband calls it, "hoarding" as well! HAHA! Where do you live? North Carolina, nevermind. I'm in southwest Georgia. I am subscribing now! ♥ dig ♥

[@YourBookofMemories]

Such a cute and funny video! Love your style and personality !!! So cool your room Rocks thanks for sharing :)

[@eileenhietter9615]

As long as I have been crafting and using ribbon, about a week ago, I decided I was tired of my ribbon unraveling so I too bought some straight pins and VOILA!!! You should try it, of course it will slow you down a bit when you need some ribbon, but it drives me nuts for it to unravel, so it was worth it for me! Thanks for all your videos....you are quite an inspiration! I decided to become a demonstrator twice, and both times just didn't have the time to put into it to make it even break evenable (is that a word)?? One day, when I retire from teaching deaf children, I will do it!...oh and by the way, I was able to keep being a demonstrator for almost a year....why? because I bought so much stuff myself! LOL Stampin up is so addictive, I love it!!!!

[@brandyscards]

Thank you Catalin! I appreciate your stopping by. Have a great day! Brandy

[@barbaraharrold5361]

What a fun room. It’s nice to see you are just like us:) it’s so hard to keep everything completely labeled and organized:) what do you like fishing for? My husband’s a big fisherman right now he’s getting ready to go fish for salmon:) we are in California:)

[@KmayD6]

Lots of organizing and display ideas found on Pinterest like using gutters, I think, placed on a shelf for display items & also holding ribbon. Ok this is my last comment, you get the idea. Love your cards and tutorials btw!

[@ritamoffat7418]

Love your crafting space

[@mrsnetrix]

Thanks for sharing your gorgeous craft room :)

[@Kraftykathy29]

Every time I watch this room I'm in love I want to make that shoe could you do a video tutorial on it also, when you order your supplies how many adhesives do you buy at a time ?

[@HayleyXLunasopal]

Love your room such amazing space I'm a new subscriber sending crafty hugs from the uk shropshire xx

[@JenniferHranek]

Love the way you put this way together. You have me an ideas. When I do more room! Thank you for that!;-)

[@jenniferhamilton2009]

Thanks for the tour. It gave me so many good ideas. I would be interested in knowing how you conduct your classes. Do you have a video on this? Thanks again!

[@Sumikelikestoscrap]

Great tour of your craft areas. Wow you have almost everything SU carries it looks like. Do you keep retired sets and so forth as well? I enjoy your videos and have been inspired to try many of your projects. Will you be doing any scrapbook pages like the book you showed? Maybe a series.... :-) Thanks so much!

[@1santacara]

Hello Brandy, I found your channel in youtube and I love it, the pity for me is that I'm in Spain. and I can not find the products you use here in europe. why don't Stampin'Up sell Internationally? well, but you inspire me and I really enjoy your explanations and ideas, keep doing more videos We love them! gracias laura

[@602redroses]

Love your "happy space".

[@JanetLovesSewing]

I also sew. I find that doing creative projects is not only better than therapy, it also keeps one out of trouble and keeps an idle mind busy.

[@kaypedigo1056]

Ribbon has always been a problem. When you put the ribbon rolls on the rod, change the position of every other roll. Another words, start a row with the first ribbon spool positioned on the rod with the ribbon coming off the spool at the top. Put the next spool on with the ribbon coming off from the bottom of the spool. Kind of a over then under movement. Repeat every other one until your rod is full. Start filling the next rod under the top rod by placing your first spool going in the opposite direction of the first spool on top row. I hope this makes since, it has helped me. I had 4 kids so I know how busy it gets. Don't worry too much, just have fun in the limited time to you have for yourself. Your craft area is perfect.

[@Imanoone1]

I use gutters from the hardware store cut down to 2 ft sections. The ribbon drops in and I use a pin to keep them unraveling.

[@smurfie161]

Love your room , I have just started to get into SU items and love them , TFS Nicky

[@deborahanne9793]

Thank you for showing your BOX of markers, mine are stored in a similar way and I have yet to figure out a better system? :)

[@brandyscards]

Hi Sweetpo11, Thank you kindly for dropping by and for leaving such kind comments. I really appreciate it and am so happy to know you have enjoyed my videos. That's awesome!!! I love your idea about the re-inkers. I might have to give that a try. Happy Stampin! Brandy

[@sandralucy1108]

Hi there loved this video gave me some great ideas. Have a question about your punches can I still get the round tab punch I see it on your wall am new to crafting and this punch would be handy. Thanks so much .sandra.

[@elizabethestrada8041]

I love your craft room and well organize also i love your channel specially when you do 10 cards in 20 minutes. Also i love stamping up products they look amazing but i can't buy right now i being doing cards for almost 10 years and i still not make any video jet what do you recommend to do to make better cards i don' i have only buy a $1.00 to $1.50 dollars stamp or when are on sale at Michaels is how im getiing my collection.

[@andreajacome5557]

OMG!!! i REALLY wish i has everithing you have for crafts.... i really really really LOVE making crafts but i don't have that much things like you

[@stamplifter1]

What an AMAZING space! Where did you buy the shelving that your bigz dies are on and the ones you store your wood mount and clear mount stamps. I'm not sure what I want to do with my space yet but I really like how well you used them. Thanks so much for sharing with us. :)

[@hitechsuzy]

Can I ask - maybe a tacky question? ...... Do you find that some of your wonderful things turn up missing after any classes?

[@melreally]

its so funny you mentioned Hording!!!! my husband says i'm a craft horder all the time :)

[@hitechsuzy]

50 dislikes??? Sersiously why?? ..... loved your room, thanks for showing it. :-)

[@margiebush4405]

Hello and thank you for sharing your space and organizational skills. You have given me some great ideas on how I can better use my space. And yes, this is my theraphy for real. I would love to have a stampin up catalog and possibly mecome a member of your team. Could you give me some information on stampin up.

[@Ladiabla_123]

Hello Brandys how are you? can you tell me where you buy your stuff please ??? Everything is beautiful congratulations 😀👏👌👍

[@corkiegott875]

Your craft room use to look like mine does now. But at 70 years old I have made some changes, but not like your new look. Which is fantastic!

[@yrusam2]

I totally get that. The one I go to only keeps current. No way I would be able to do that. But its been nice to buy her retired stuff from before I learned about SU. And well, I have a hard time committing to just 1 company. If I love something, I don't care who made it, I'm getting it. lol ;) 99% of my stuff is SU though.

[@sparkle5ms]

Lovely room I think it looks very organized and who cares if it not alphabetized it your room and if it works for you that is the main thing because it is your room *smiles* I only wished you had done a an overview of the whole room or a pan about the whole room to see the whole layout but otherwise it was a great room tour happy crafting Mary Katherine from Canada

[@ameliacamelia3175]

hi sis...i like your crafroom...n i like all about craf....

[@yrusam2]

I'm not a SU demo, but for some reason I was under the impression that you could only use current product at classes. Classes I've been to never had any stamps, punches or other items that weren't available to be bought any longer. Also thought they really frowned upon use of anything in a class that was not sold by SU? Not true? Love your room. And love watching your videos. Fun personality & real. :D

[@andiebearie]

Can you order the punch samples and designer paper samples. I am a new demonstrator and I have never seen them. I love your craft room.

[@KmayD6]

Fyi, I saw on a website for craft organizing a cheap way to store twine, a dollar store sugar dispenser and you pull the twine out through the opening. (Idk website but I started on Pinterest, hope this helps & might be an easy way during classes)

[@annquinn6]

Hi! Im a Newbie and I am just getting to grips with everything. I would like to know if you could tell me why some of the clear stamps are completely black. I thought the idea behind stampin was to either colour them in or glitter to them, but some of them are completely black. Is there a special reason for this. I have watched a few of your videos and found them very enlightening and very easy to understand. Your studio is well organised although you don't seem to think so. I look forward to seeing more of your videos in the future.

[@70SYB]

Love this tour!

[@brandyscards]

Hi 25Prague, Thanks for stopping by! The 12 x 12 acrylic paper holders are from Dynamic Displays! Hope this helps. Brandy

[@makeupbeauty218]

WOW..I love all your crafts stuff. How can you afford all of this?
