Organize Everyday | Flip Paper Storage | Q&A

[@catherinedoherty2025]

Darling little faces! You rocked with this video! I’m knee deep in paper at the moment moving my room and was looking for help with organizing. Your system is absolutely perfect for my needs. Big paper drawers on bottom are inaccessible to me now. Will get your system installed. I will actually have pain free leisurely moments to rifle through my pretties and choose. 20 years worth. And thanks also for the chair as wheelbarrow! Can’t thank you enough for this calm concise practical approach to organizing my mountain of gorgeous papers!🥰🥰 ,

Hi Catherine ... I'm so happy that my video has helped you with your paper organization. It's definitely awesome having flip bins and makes finding paper fun & easy. The only negative I've found to using the flip bins, is that you have to use up your table tops to store them ... I just wish I had more room to have more of them. Good luck with your paper organizing! Karen 🤗

[@catherinedoherty2025]

@@YesPleasePapercrafts Yes . Table top is top end real estate! But flip bins are top of list. I wonder if Amazon sells “Sky hooks and ladders”! 😀😃🤣😛🥸💕

Another great video…… thanks for the tip about the cutting board and the 50 pk of page protectors on sale!

Thanks .... You are so welcome!

adorable fur babies

[@pcfloresnm]

I really enjoy the clips of your fur babies almost as much as your tips and ideas! They are adorable ❤️

[@tonyaking2559]

Great ideas! 😁

[@debw2108]

I think the branding strip is at the bottom for the scrapbook stores. It’s easy to see and read in the racks.

[@YesPleasePapercrafts]

Thanks for sharing that information. I never thought of that ... I guess that comes in handy when you are looking at the paper in the scrapbook store :)

[@shelleys674]

Cute pups! Your crafting room looks so nice!

[@Jaime-ji9mr]

So many great ideas especially the cutting boards!!! Your pups are adorable.

[@YesPleasePapercrafts]

Thank you so much ... I do love my dogs like they are my kids. I didn't know this at the time I made the video, but a few weeks ago I went to visit my sister in Texas and I found a cutting board from Ikea that is only $2.99 and just a little smaller than the Amazon one. There's a link in the description of this video to the one from Ikea as well as the one from Amazon. I really wish there was some way to edit videos on KZbin.

[@Jaime-ji9mr]

@@YesPleasePapercrafts I live in the Dallas area and now you just gave me a good excuse to go to Ikea. I hope you enjoyed your visit here.

[@YesPleasePapercrafts]

@@Jaime-ji9mr Yes, I always enjoy visiting Texas ... I lived in the Houston area for about 20 years until I moved back to Louisiana in 2015. I miss the shopping and my sister the most. You are one lucky lady to live so close to an Ikea.

[@jerylleamon1446]

Love the Yorkies! I have a yorkie named Meka and it's funny I saw your dog bed there and I have a dog bed in my stamping room as well! What we do for those 4 legged kids! Thanks for sharing!

[@lisamorales3914]

Very very informative.

[@nancyehill7129]

Hello, thank you for your practical and helpful tips - especially using the cutting board for stability. And I love your pups!

[@YesPleasePapercrafts]

Thanks .... I didn't know this at the time I made my video but I found a more inexpensive option for a cutting board. If you are looking for a cutting board, Ikea has the LEGITIM Chopping board (13 1/2" x 9 1/2") that is only $2.99. If you don't have an Ikea close by, they also have this available online.

[@sandyh8755]

I’m a new subscriber and am exploring your videos. Using page protectors like this is a great idea! I ordered a bunch of page protectors and the holes are all in the wrong place. Now, I know I could punch them myself, but I just didn’t want to. These would be great for that purpose. It wouldn’t have occurred to me to cut off the hole strip, though. Great idea!

[@YesPleasePapercrafts]

Hi Sandy ... thanks so much for subscribing and leaving me a comment. That's so awesome that you found a way to repurpose your page protectors. It's hard sometimes to get rid of the things we are not using, and it always makes me happy when I can find a use for something that's been floating around my craft room. Happy Crafting!!!

[@katmudd2110]

They are so cute. I have a Brussels griffon, her very best friend is a yorkie who she has loved since she was 3 weeks old and is now 6 years old. Maybe my next fur baby.

[@YesPleasePapercrafts]

Thanks Kat! I love the Brussels griffon ... they are so cute! I've watched the movie "As Good As It Gets" with Jack Nicholson many times just because of the little dog. That little dog stole the show! If you haven't seen that movie, you may want to check it out just for the dog (lol ... the movie is good too)😁

[@katmudd2110]

@@YesPleasePapercrafts yes, many times as well. They are absolutely great fur babies, very loyal and smart.

[@kath9713]

Your room look's so nice. Love your fur babies. Thank's for sharing.

[@taniab2018]

Thanks. Love your videos. Question: What is the advantage of knowing the collection name? I think the difference for me is that I try to organize by colour, and I'm working really hard to mix different companies & collections on my pages.

[@dawnareynolds2263]

Love, love, love your videos 💕💕 I have been struggling with my single sheets and the storage that I have isn’t working but this gives me so many ideas!! Thank you for sharing and also doing it low cost as well. Your babies are super adorable 💕 this video has blessed me so much!! PS can you show your work station as well? I am setting up my area and I am loving your room - hugs 🤗

[@YesPleasePapercrafts]

Hi Dawna ... thanks so much for taking the time to leave me a comment. I love being able to share organization ideas with y'all ... I just love to organize things and so happy I can share it with you. I don't really have a workstation in my craft room. I have two work tables which are completely empty tables. I found that a dedicated workspace didn't work well for me and it ended up being a dumping ground that I could never keep clean. So, my philosophy for my craft room now is blank worktables and mobile storage. I have about 4 carts that I can roll to wherever I'm working in my craft room that have my tools (glue, scissors, pens, etc), mixed media supplies, dies, embossing folders, etc. I also put just about everything in a container that I can grab and carry over to my work table. I am planning to do more organization videos to share the carts and other storage in my room. If you would like to see pictures of my craft room, I have posted a bunch of pics in the facebook group (Craft Room Organization with Yes Please Paper Crafts). If you haven't joined the facebook group yet, please click on the link in the description of this video to request to join. Once you get to the facebook group, there's an album under photos that has the pictures. At some point I will probably do a craft room tour but I'm still learning how to film things and that's a little bit more of a challenge then I want to take on right now.

[@deborahcoe935]

We have a yorkie named Bells! How funny is that! Plus we have 2 babies of hers, babies are now 4 and Bella is a little over 5 we think. We rescued her from a puppy mill a little over 4 years ago and she was pregnant.

[@YesPleasePapercrafts]

That's so awesome … I wanted to get a third dog but then my two started fighting with each other, so that idea was nixed. Even with all the struggles we've had, they are such a joy to have … yorkies just seem to have so much personality!!!

[@SuzieQScraps]

I ordered 10/$10 of the flexible cutting mats off Amazon. They area little bigger than the size you showed from DT so I’ll let you know if they work okay. I also have some Advantus for comparison.

[@YesPleasePapercrafts]

Hi Sharon …. That's a great price on the flexible cutting mats. I would definitely be interested in hearing your opinion on the cutting mats from Amazon and how they compare to the Advantus dividers.

[@lynnlopez3274]

Appreciate the tips!

[@dianawymer8890]

I love the way you store the paper in the flip file. My paper is a mess. I tried going to Home Goods and can’t find a box that will work. I see there is a cutout for a handle in the box. Do you have a suggestion on where I can find a box like this? I also went to Tuesday Morning but they only have the photo boxes. I really love this and want to do it. Love your videos ❤️

[@YesPleasePapercrafts]

Diana ... I got my boxes many years ago so I don't know that they would still be available in the store. I did a few searches online and couldn't find the bins that I have, but I did find one from Target that looked like it would work. It's called the Half Bin Floral Pattern Blue - Threshold (www.target.com/p/half-bin-floral-pattern-blue-threshold-153/-/A-75663593). This bin from Target does have an angle on one end but if you used that part as the back, the angle would actually help with creating the angle you need to flip through your paper. You could also try Tuesday Morning, TJMaxx, Marshalls, @ Home, Target and Bed Bath & Beyond ... these are stores that would probably have something like the fabric covered bins that I used. You could also get a box without handles because you are probably not going to want to lift this once you load your paper into the bin as it's going to be very, very heavy. When I moved my bins recently, I emptied most of the paper out before I moved the bins. I hope that you will find some bins that you like to create your flip storage and I would love to hear back from you once you have found your bins.

[@dianawymer8890]

Yes Please Papercrafts, thank you so much. I can’t wait to try this 😘

[@nikkis222]

My guesses for why the branding strip is at the bottom: 1) Most stores have the paper stored in slot paper racks. Customers can easily see the banding strip and identify what the are looking for. 2) When paper is stored like that most people touch and handle the branding strip. Therefore, hopefully limiting the damage to the actual scrapbook paper. Maybe?? 🙂

[@YesPleasePapercrafts]

Yep, that makes sense. lol ... It still makes me crazy that either it's upside down when you have it on the top, or it's on the bottom where you can't see it. And, then there are the odd ball manufacturers that have the branding strip at the top. 😊

[@dramamama28]

Great idea, going to try this. I bought 2 boxes yesterday at Tuesday Morning. Where did you get the cutting boards? Any Amazon link to the size you bought?

[@YesPleasePapercrafts]

The cutting boards came from Amazon. The size is 11x14 and it cost about $7.50. I added a link to the cutting board that I bought in the description of this video.

[@dianawymer8890]

Karen What kind of boxes did you get at Tuesday Morning? I can’t find anything that will work?

[@YesPleasePapercrafts]

Karen .... it would be so helpful if you could share some information on the boxes you got at Tuesday Morning here or on the Facebook Group. And, if you could share a picture of your boxes in the Facebook group ... that would be awesome!!! Thanks so much.

[@crystalh.disneytink1514]

what kind of canon printer do you have? Does it print 12 x 12?

[@YesPleasePapercrafts]

Hi Crystal .. when I created this video, I was using the Canon Pixma MX922 inkjet printer, but that printer does not print 12x12. I now have the Canon TS Series PIXMA TS9521C Wireless All-In-One Inkjet Duplex Craft Printer and it does print 12x12 borderless. This Canon printer is very difficult to find and it is always on backorder, however, if you keep checking for it, you should be able to find one. My friend waited months to get one but she finally found one available. As far as I know it is the only printer that is reasonably priced that prints 12x12 borderless ... it retails for $249. Also, be careful with the model if you decide to get this printer, the Canon Pixma TS9521 (without the C) is a black printer and does not print 12x12 borderless ... my friend actually contacted Canon and they told her that the TS9521 prints 12x12 but it doesn't. The "TS9521C" model which only comes in white, is the only crafting printer from Canon that prints 12x12. The best way to find this printer is to request to be notified by Canon.com or by BHP Photo when it comes back into stock. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=canon%20ts9521c&N=0&InitialSearch=yes&sts=ma. Hope this helps. Karen

Who makes the best cubes??

[@YesPleasePapercrafts]

That's a good question ... There are not many companies making bins or cubes that are the right size. The Meori foldable box is one of the best foldable/collapsible bins that I've found. I'm still trying to figure out where to get bins or cubes that are a good size to create the flip storage for the 12x12 paper. I've had a few viewers leave comments with the bins that they used and I updated the links in all 3 of the Flip Bin storage videos with these suggestions.

[@BuffyLynn]

Such cuties!! They look like little Ewok. So does having 2 female dogs work out ok? I had a problem having 2 females with my Norfolk terriers. Anyway, the paper ideas were nice too! 😉

[@YesPleasePapercrafts]

Having two female dogs is a challenge (especially since they are sisters from the same litter). I wouldn't recommend getting two dogs from the same litter but I had no idea at the time that there could be serious issues. My girls are now 8 1/2 ... they got along just fine for the first 4 years, then it got bad and started fighting with each other. The past 4 1/2 years have been a struggle ... but 2 dog trainers and many, many hours of training and just 3 weeks ago, we are finally back to normal with no fighting. I don't know if it will stay this way, but I sure hope so.

[@Moonchilling]

I too store my paper upside down. I do it more so to protect the paper from ear marking and I too store by manufacturer. The cropper hopper company is now under the name storage studios...

[@YesPleasePapercrafts]

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I was really confused about the Cropper Hopper / Storage Solutions while I was making these videos about paper storage. Good to know it's the same company. Very strange that they still have product out there under the Cropper Hopper brand.
