Craft Room Tour

[@elizabethhair9017]

When I worked and lived alone, I had a large home with a designated craft room, I worked as receptionist for a law firm and they paid me to make cards for staff birthdays, plus some staff asked me for additional cards. Then in 2012 I got a brain tumour, strokes left me unable to use my left arm, I no longer work and moved back in with my sweet mum who at 70 is now my carer. I still love crafting but need her help with anything requiring two hands. Your videos are my calm time, they give me great ideas and lift my spirits when I have a bad day. Thanks and much love Jennifer ❤

[@michelle4eternity]

I love the color of your walls and how your baskets match the wall color ❤ I hope one day I can have a craft room… right now all I have is the space next to my bed lol

[@holaphoebe]

Thanks for reiterating that people don't need to have this many supplies or a whole craft room. I've been on both sides of the spectrum, from zero dedicated space for crafting to designing a room, like I am now. I think a lot of us forget that it doesn't take a ton of products or supplies to make something great, and I so appreciate you highlighting that!

[@andarks]

I'm a guy, and I normally am interested in building stuff, repairing my home, and stuff like that. I have done some painting, but you are the reason why am now interested in making cards. I have watched and learned so much from you Jennifer. You are not just an amazing artist/crafter; you are such a great mentor. I got my girlfriend interested in card making after showing her your channel. Now she watches you too. Thank you for all your content and talent. Oh and I'm also reorganizing my supply room to turn into half supply/building tools and crafts studio/supply.

[@jillhbaudhaan]

This room makes me so happy. Ever thought of turning your home into a B&B for crafters?

[@baboo7192]

Loved watching this again! I’m in the process of unpacking my new scrap place. ❤❤❤

[@kimcarlisle1510]

I have OCD and your craft room would not cause me one second of angst. You are amazing and what a dream room you’ve built with your hard work.

[@Pabuff31]

I'm like seizing with excitement from this insane organisation... I can't tell you how happy this makes me..

[@BettyAnn320]

Some people think “when I hit the lottery “ I will buy cars and clothes...I dream of replicating Jennifer’s craft room/office🥰

[@moniqueroberge21]

Beautiful craft room, extremely well organized. The filming was great, no shaking, dogs barking, kids crying, very well done.

[@GlitterandReverie]

It's so beautiful *cries in amazement*. Your level of organization is absolutely superior. Thank you for sharing!

[@arizonaalchemy7572]

AMAZING Craft Room you have there.

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

It is so obvious that your sense of organization is a necessary part of your crafting. It's also obvious that your talent far exceeds your creative side. I'm thinking that your organizational skills could be another job outlet for you (not that we want you to do anything other than creating). Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful room with us. It helps us hobby crafters a lot. I have taken on your clear stamp and die storage and I love it. Oh and my cardstock thanks you for that system as well. You teach me something new every day.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Your room is beautiful and your video is so well done with all the different angled shots. Thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed this.

[@jennifermcguireink]

Thank you so much!

[@ugababe1985]

Love your craft room tour. Just had to giggle when I saw your feet. You are a real down to earth person. Wishing you and your family the best. TFS .

[@ninefelinustrading2422]

I thought the same thing! :-)

[@msmith3202]

Love your craft space. Thanks for the helpful hints.

[@shellp888]

[@roseyoung6471]

Your craft room is gorgeous. I love love love it,my dream

[@JulieBarneson]

I am so glad you shared your former space with us! Besides being beautiful, inviting & well organized, I love how you keep your Vagabond & sewing machine plugged behind cabinet doors & where you keep your heat gun. So genius! I am curious what changes you have made in your new space & hope someday you will share that with us. Thank you for all that you do for us Jennifer!!!

[@SoulfulXprssion]

- today I watched your video because I was struggling with its paper storage and watched your video it really helped

[@barbarachmura2695]

Amazing room. It must have been hard to leave and start all over again. Thanks, Jennifer!

[@ShoshiPlatypus]

What a beautiful room, Jennifer, and so tidy!! It puts mine to shame... Every now and again I have a blitz and tidy up but I’ve got a LOT of stuff in a relatively small room and I’m not a particularly tidy worker. Also, I have a lot of different things on the go so there’s always a lot out. I use Really Useful Boxes and the room is fitted out with kitchen units with no doors, so a lot of open shelves. There is a curving MDF work surface around 3 sides of the room so I can move from zone to zone, and some of the floor units are on castors so they pull out if I want to sit there. Having different places to sit, I can only sit at one at a time so I thought, why waste storage space? The fourth wall is taken up with large storage. I need to be a lot more organised with my stamp and die storage as it’s rapidly outgrowing the space I’ve got, and my Distress Inks drive me nuts, being in boxes. I have electric power points all around the room which is very handy. The only thing stored outside the room is my 12 x 12 papers which live in my mum’s old music cabinet on the landing - it has numerous shallow drawers with drop-down fronts and the packs of paper fit exactly. Your room is an absolute delight, and full of glorious colour too!! I am trying not to be jealous... Actually many people are jealous of my room! I always say I’m going to do a studio tour once I get it tidy and organised but somehow that day never seems to come haha!!

[@Vgudorf]

OMG Jennifer! You have the organizational skills of a war general, matched only by your creativity. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this tour of your work space. You've given me valuable ideas on how I can better reconfigure my own little craft room, which of course, doesn't have even a fifth of the supplies you own, but that could definitely be better organized for increased productivity. I had very much been looking forward to this peek inside your inner sanctum. Thanks!

[@humaimran1143]

Not only do I have a dream craft room to strive for, I have a dream job to strive for! I'd LOVE to be able to create full time! ❤

[@scrapgirl14671]

Hope your new room is up and running and that you love it. Thanks for sharing this tour with us. You really are the queen of organization and I have taken so much from you over the years, thank you for sharing your ideas so freely.

[@channeld7052]

By far one the best organized and cleanest craft room

[@veraserah]

I know you do this for your work but my face the entire video was :O because I could not have even imagined in my wildest dreams to have this much for crafting! I really enjoyed vicariously watching all of the crafting goodies here, even if I will never achieve this level of crafting goodness!

[@MsLeezza]

Love this room...always have and I'm sure the new "owner" is thrilled to have it! Looking forward to seeing the your new craft room in the new house - I'm sure it'll be fantastic. It's been fun seeing, you Kristina and Kathy - sharing our spaces! Thank you!

[@jeanninethames619]

Your studio is Heaven on earth. What a wonderful place to create!

[@laurasutton1551]

I just bought some stuff from IKEA to do my room. Glad to see I'm not the only person with a ton of stamps

[@jonieisenberg2794]

Thanks for sharing so much of your life with us. I have learned more from you than anyone else. Even though I started crafting with Anna Griffin, my crafting style has changed drastically over the past few years. I enjoy creating my own works of art and not always having a kit to work with. I realize some crafters need a kit, but I was born to craft and always found it better if I did things my way. I am not a neat crafter even though I wish I was. It's just not going to happen. Recently I was sick for a few months and stayed in the hospital and a skilled nursing facility. When I returned home was husband was so proud he had my sister-in-law, daughter-in-law, and son clean my house including my craft room. I am still putting things back in their proper places and will be for months to come. It was such a nice thought, but when people aren't crafters and don't have a clue what craft tools do what, it can be a little daunting. I just smile and say Thanks and keep putting things back where they belong when I finally find them. Thanks again and most of all thanks for telling us about the tools you use. I just received my Dazzle dies and am loving them.

[@arleneplastine5462]

Thanks Jennifer for showing us your new craft room. I'm in the process of re-organizing so most things will finally be behind doors or in drawers. We just moved into our new house on 1/18/16. I'm still working out the tweaks!

[@jillpill_au]

Thank you for sharing your space! My favourite part is that beautiful window letting all the light into your room!

[@lindameek6791]

I am so in awe - I'm still working off the kitchen table with all my stuff stored so hodge-podge. I am thinking of asking Santa for even a small space to call my own!

[@scrappytoki]

I think this is what heaven must look like... Your organization skills and seeing how everything is arranged so neatly and thoughtfully makes me want to do a happy dance. It's just so tidy!! ^_^

[@MsCoopersCoop]

Jennifer, I am so inspired. I have a craftroom and when it is cluttered, I am not so inspired to scrap. I've been purging lately and clearing spaces to put things away. It has really made the difference. Thank you again. Muriel

[@sol1799]

OMG! You have more things than Michael’s 😉

[@beverlymeaker7566]

This video was extremely helpful for me. I appreciate that yours is not the "poster room that Ikea built." You use you drawers like a "real person" would, and it's so helpful. I especially love your stamp storage methods. I began that with my SU stamps, and I think putting them in "fridge trays" (Amazon) will make life easier I've got several drawer units from Walmart that can fit under my work tables. Also, your embellishment storage is awesome. Duh, store by color. Same with the buttons, etc. This was such an educational tour for me, and I appreciate it greatly. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

I love your space so much! And that picture window...amazing!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@MissChelle]

It’s a few years on from when you did this video, and I’m still in awe of your neatly organised craft room. I’ve been cardmaking for about 25 years and probably have way to much stuff. I am constantly reorganising & coming back to this video for inspiration. Thank you Jen ❤️🇦🇺

[@MindlessCrafting]

I absolutely love this! Such a gorgeous and well-organized workspace. Thank you so much for sharing! hugs, Tracey

[@thecakelady52]

WOW WOW WOW ! I am so jealous ! You are so blessed to have this space to create. If I had that room, I wouldn't want to leave !

[@_JoyceArt]

This room gives me a happy warm tingle in my belly! It's so pretty and organized. My art room is maybe a third of the size, and equally organized (albeit scaled down and with different tools), but it's with pine furniture, and I really like white more nowadays. I store my drawing pads exactly the same.

[@leenewton5872]

I think my favorite part of the room is the bright wonderful window at the end of it! TY so much for letting us see this all. You would HAVE to be organized to deal with all the products you work with for a living! With some restraint (please!) I hope to never have that much but I'm so glad you do.

[@BarbGhig]

I really LOVE your craft room, Jennifer! Great organization ideas and I love that you have so much light! Thanks so much for taking the time to give us a tour :)

[@hennared8364]

I'm awestruck by a) the organization and b) the style. I am moving soon, so thank you for the ideas because now that I am retired...the craft room is going to be my priority. Love love your hints...you are a crafting Goddess! Thank you for sharing

[@MrHollick]

That is the most amazing and satisfying space I’ve ever seen!

[@caroleanderson1106]

Such a beautiful craft room.

[@sharonjones841]

Oh, wow, Jennifer! This is a crafter's dream come true...so love your studio! The colours you have in there are also crisp, clean, and calming. Maybe in my next life, right? I am inspired to get organized better after viewing this wonderful video. Thanks for sharing!

[@shirleyphillips8936]

Thank you Jennifer. I am so impressed by you and what you do. You inspire thousands of people worldwide, and I am so glad I found you on KZbin. Keep up the good work.

[@jennifermcguireink]

Thank you so much!

[@debbyturner3035]

Love, love, love your craft room. I also like having things hidden and a cleared out appearance. However, I live in a small mobile home and my craft room is quite small. I own as much as you and have about 1/4 of the space. LOL But it is still my happy space and I'm very grateful to have it. Thanks for sharing your videos and inspiring us. I appreciate you!

[@sschiada]

Your no-nonsense explanation of everything really showed the best way to maximize every drawer and cupboard. Thank you for being so efficient. Truly helpful, especially to a minimalist.

[@ljstorey1]

WOW!! My dream(which I'll never have) craft room!

Thanks for showing your happy crafty space Jennifer and I’m sure your new happy space is just as good! I’d love to half of your craft goodies, enjoy your job. 😊

[@ruthsreusables2442]

Thank you for sharing your space. It's always interesting and it helps me to work out what I want and need from my space. I'm definitely someone who likes to see stuff out on show otherwise I forget what I have!

[@Amanda-de-Panda]

Life goals for a happy place! Just started crafting at nearly 50, mainly cards, stamping, scrapbooking. This video has given me ideas even for a tiny crafter. 😍

ok i had to stop at 3mins in and comment on how great this was filmed. ok back to the vid.

Oh God!!!! If I could have a room like that (and that window) I would never get out!!!! I drooled during the whole video. A craft room that matches your talent.

[@douglasvilledarling2935]

Wow, you the the Miss Organized crown. Thank you for all the tips. I will be watching many of your videos. Subscribed

[@jonikelly3524]

Hi Jennifer, I love your organizational style. I was sent the link for how you use the soda bins for clear stamps after I had made labels for the "DVD" style containers. While I'm not ready to undo what I've already created with my stamp sets, I love how the same bin works so beautifully for the embossing folders and die sets. I can see myself making some great changes in the near future. I hadn't given much thought to precutting my cardstock, however, you've shown​ a valid point; I can see how I would be more likely to make cards if everything is precut and ready to go. I've got my work cut out for me and with your videos, I'm encouraged that my happy space will be ready sooner than later!

[@candystamping4552]

wow! awesome craft room Jennifer! Can't wait to see your new one in your new house! :)

[@conniepyle904]

This is the most amazing room. I have loved sewing for many years and then I started learning other crafts. I also started doing greeting cards several years ago and loved it. I watched one of your videos on the shaker card and now I am learning so much more to do with my cards. Thank you so much for your videos that are the most informative.

[@arteencasa-manualidadesyrecicl]

OMG!!! Amazing organization!!! Congrats and merry Christmas to you and yours!!! Blessings from Argentina!!!

[@scrappinkar1]

Thank you for saying that this is your job, as many people get inspired to try to buy everything that comes out in the crafting world!

[@stampinsunny]

Dear Jennifer, this studio is just amazing. Great work. One quick question: what is this container you store your stamp shammy in??

[@wendyperez8714]

Well done, Jennifer! I agree with you 100%.... an island set-up makes a huge difference in how the energy can flow. Thanks for letting us in!

[@simon.hurley]

Amazing video!!! :) It's so inspiring to see how other people store their supplies.

[@usasstar]

I love your craft room tour, we finally get to see the different kinds of organizing and what your craft room looks likes. I really like the pull out drawers. We have those kinds of drawers in our kitchen,

[@ladonnashelly6777]

Thank you for sharing with us your craft room. It's beautiful. Merry Christmas to you and your family

[@cals4181]

Jennifer, one of your videos was the first I stumbled onto when I wanted to start seriously crafting. I agree that you appear to be down-to-earth....love that! The first time I saw your craft room at the other house, I was overwhelmed until I played it over in my mind and "heard" you say again, that this was your job and you don't have to buy everything at once to start crafting. In a few years my husband and I will be downsizing because of our ages. However, I'm planning on a craftroom space. It won't have your island & will be confined to one wall, but it will have a bank of windows or one large one because I love crafting in natural light. I shared your video with my daughter, who is getting ready to build a new house & she had my initial reaction..."WOW!" She is not into crafting, but your organization blew her away and inspired her. So THANK YOU for your kindness to share, and have a very Blessed day.

[@judyestrada1446]

Jennifer I really love your space! I am looking forward to seeing your new space in your new home when it is complete! Thank you for sharing. I have been using many of your tips! Thank you for being so kind & sharing your crafty space with us!

[@kimleon-guerrero9980]

Great crafting space and tips, thank you so much for sharing. 💞

[@alicebrown60]

Oh my goodness!! If I had such a room and supplies to fill it I would be in Crafter’s heaven!! You obviously take great care and pride in your work. You are so organized! I love it. I am curious... do you ever use cutting machines such as the Cricut, Silhouette, Scan and Cut, etc? What is your take on them and do you have a comparison video on die cut machines and embossers (such as Sizzix vs Cuttlebug)? I would love to hear back from you on these topics. I absolutely love your cards and appreciate your amazing tutorials. Happy crafting!!

[@cheribrowning9212]

Wow, awesome craft room. Yes I'm a little jealous, maybe someday ... in my dreams ;) Thanks so much for sharing.

[@brrjohnson8131]

I remember the first organization video of yours I watched. I was tickled pink to see how similar my storage ideas were to yours (yours on a much grander scale). You've still inspired me with Better ideas for storage because you're doing it on a large scale. Thank you for being brave enough to stand before the jelly haters & repeatedly explain 'this is your job, not a hobby'. Lots of us who will never comment, GET IT. Frankly I'm tired of you needing to explain & justify yourself, you shouldn't have to. If there's anything to jealous of it's your *-hair-* TALENT.

[@margarethouse9128]

Out of this world craft room! I notice that you stood in fifth position a lot, did you dance?

[@jennifermcguireink]

hahaha i can't believe you noticed - yes.

[@beatrizhosken4258]

Thank Jennifer McGuire Ink

[@Tam-te5nh]

You space is wonderful & I really love how you emphasize that a regular crafter does not need this much & that you do because it's a business for you!

[@gingerbumblebee5396]

Wow, just wow. I feel like I should video my craft room (my dining room) and my storage!! It'd be fun to compare! This is your job though, and I thank you for your free youtube tutorials :)

[@claudesclaws2009]

What's her job? I'm curious because Jennifer is so talented. I'm hoping she has a card line in stores!

[@jennifermcguireink]

crafting is my job. i make tutorials and teach online classes.

[@dlofdahl10]

i received a big shot as a gift a few weeks ago with no idea what it was, let alone how to use it. since then i've been glued to your youtube channel. i've never found any other channel - on any topic - as helpful. everything is so well planned and executed. also you are a marvel of organization. so - well done and thank you so much for all the help.

[@ssssultana]

Oh my God I don't belive it thanks Jennifer

[@SheerStitchery]

I love how organized this is. I am like you and like everything to be crisp and clean - it helps me to not feel overwhelmed

You even got my husband to watch this! His mouth dropped open...thanks for the opening! 😉 I'll be milking it!

[@aquariuslady777]

Impressive. I'm a photographer, but started stamping "thank you" note cards for customer purchases to add with the receipt I mailed to them. For Christmas I stamped craft envelopes for my customers....loved the "homemade" touch.

[@zoelondon8503]

Brilliant Jennifer! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Some amazing ideas! I love how I'm not the only one out there that loves an organized space. You inspire me as I'm sure everyone else will agree! Merry Christmas to you and your family and to a wonderful New Year of creativity (and videos by you >:) Thanks for all you share my love! -Zoe P.S. Your friend that makes those Misti jackets!

[@vaish04]

Beautiful beautiful and a practical Craft room. But what I loved the most about this video was how you said that not every crafter needs a space like this or not everyone needs this much supplies. That really made me happy, that it's okay to not have so much of supplies as a crafter lol

[@kristikortman5443]

Did you and Kristina plot to post your craft room tours on the same day? Or was it a race to see who posts it first? :-) You both have beautiful rooms. Great work!

[@jennifermcguireink]

we planned it. kathy racoosin too.

[@kristikortman5443]

That's cool! I loved all the videos :) Also, I didn't mean to say that you were competing in any sort of negative way... more like an encouragement to get them posted -- I know they are a ton of work.

[@suebrozek4305]

Jennifer, it must have been so incredibly hard to leave this beautiful space. I hope all is going well in your new space. God bless!!

[@kmcorby]

OMG, so organized! I can't stand it! But a great video, Jen, thanks for doing that. Where did you get that Jennifer McGuire Ink wood stamp featured at the beginning? I'd like one like that.

May I ask where you got that holder for your shammy? Love using one for stamping!

[@lisaleone2296]

Drooooool. I'm an organization nut and I got some really great ideas from this video. I think the most important thing is to have the stuff you use most at the ready. Second most important is don't pile stuff into boxes. I recently reorganized my craft room and found so many 'hidden treasures'.
