Those drawers are absolutely perfect for CTMH sets!! Organizing is my 2nd favorite hobby to crafting, I love when a great solution comes together. ❤

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

I love an organized space but the process of organizing isn’t my favourite. I’d rather be crafting!

[@wendyzilli9735]

Welcome to our Stampin’ Up family. Great ideas⭐️

[@heiditurner-morrione4438]

My fingers are crossed that SU switches packaging! Those DVD cases take up way too much space. I switched mine to Avery Elle stamp pockets a couple of years ago and it took up less than half the space. I store dies on a magnetic sheet in same envelope. Loved the CTMH packaging so much!!!

[@tawnyaroberts7028]

This is how I’ve been storing my stamps for the last several years. My husband came up with the genius idea to get foam board from the dollar store and he cut it to length and took it almost all the way up and those sit in between my stamps as dividers. They are perfect. My stamps hold them in place so no need to attach them to anything. I turned 2 of them sideways and bought one of the larger table tops and this is a second desk for me. I absolutely love it! It sits in the middle of my room.

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

I will miss CTMH packaging so much!

[@sandyjustian7873]

I agree. SU packaging is so bulky. I love the CTMH packaging.

[@kimmazac5893]

I sure would like to see Stampin Up bring these storage case back. Close To My Hert has always had the best storage bins, love them they are great! I did mange to get a few but would love more. 😄

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

I think Stampin Up would have to change their stamp cases to use the ctmh style bins because they are so bulky you can’t fit many sets in the bins. I’ve loved these organizers for a long time but I am a huge fan of how compact and easy the drawers are now. No lids to open!

[@annd.264]

You are going to love the su cases. You can store your dies, masks and stamps in them and extra pieces.

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

Yes they are good cases for fitting all the pieces in, just a tad bulky. I'm on the hunt for the right shelf to hold them.

[@Idagramos]

Love it!! Great job on those draws with the CTMH stamp sets. Can't wait to see what you do with the paper pads. =)))

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

Coming soon!

[@NoriMcconnaughhay-x5c]

I store my CTMH stamps in 7.5x4.3 photo storage boxes from Hobby Lobby (all the same color) with lids removed. The plastic stamp storage containers fit easily in width and extend a little over two inches above the top of the box which makes them easy to see and sort through. I cut 7x7"white cardstock pieces (with rounded corners) and small tabs stapled to the tops listing categories. I place one white piece at the front of each box and also between the stamps to separate the themes in each box. I also make pretty labels for the front of the boxes listing their contents and place a small white tab with a small attached heart (for CTMH) in the metal slot on the fronts of the boxes. They do look vey uniform and pretty. I have 12 boxes! My boxes are one deep on three open wall shelves or you can use a bookcase, which I use for my Stamping Up stamps.

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

It sounds like you have a wonderful storage solution for your stamps!

[@MrsSeaHag]

I’ve been with Stampin up for years and LOVE the DVD cases. You can just look at the label and see what’s in the cases, they stack flat or upright and are the best. In fact I have ordered online 2 cases of 50 DVD cases and I keep my die cuts in them, my bling is all sorted in those cases, they are great.

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

It is nice to see the label on the outside of the case. They are just a bit bulky so I will probably need to get a bookcase or something to store them.

[@marykatherineknipp8735]

WElcome to StampinUp. Your craft room looks beautiful and very organized to me. Blessings to you

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

Thank you so much!

[@Mom2Military]

I have those same drawers and I use them to store my CTMH stamps in them with dividers I found on Amazon.

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

They fit the CTMH stamps perfectly! I love my stamp drawers!

[@createwithmissjane]

Love this ideas 💡 so much easier than the large organisers

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

Wish I would’ve thought of it sooner!

[@SusanAuyerCultivatingCre8ivity]

I purchased a Billy Bookcase from IKEA for SU! Stamps - Looks nice between two KALLAX units

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

I looked at the Billy bookcases. Are they deeper than the Kallax and stick out farther?

[@annettes994]

Those cube organizers seem like a good idea but it always ends up that there’s wasted space. I still have cube storage under my craft table and I found if I use the small plastic organizers with three drawers that I can put smaller things in them. There’s a couple of inches on top and I usually put 6x6 or 8x8 pads of paper there. I’m looking forward to seeing what you end up doing with paper!

[@kelliedignean1585]

Those dividers look so handy! I have an old baby dresser that I'm using for storage.

[@stephaniegardner8586]

Welcome to Stampin Up! Love organizing 😊😊

[@judibradshaw1948]

Another awesome organizational idea!

[@michellechristopher6468]

This is great 😊 wish I could buy the ikea shelf’s . TFS

[@JaniceGilhooley]

Fabulous solution for your CTMH stamp sets. Love those drawer dividers.

[@larahanson7196]

Welcome to Stampin' Up Hope you enjoy it

LOVE your organizational videos! I just decluttered my craft room. I am blessed to have a wonderful room in my backyard but unfortunately I'm super messy so it was not that pretty anymore. But I'm glad I was able to get it done! Love your organization idea with the drawers. I got kitchen drawers which are great because they open all the way. In my old craft room I had Malms as well and it worked, but the kitchen drawers are simply perfect (I also store all my cardstock in those drawers, which is great so they don't fade).

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

I love the idea of using kitchen drawers! Maybe one day I can graduate to some built ins. Your space sounds like a great place to create!

[@JaymaMalme]

Love it! What a great solution for you. Those drawer dividers are awesome!

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

I’m so happy with this solution. Wish I would’ve thought of it sooner!

[@annettesoss2114]

Wow lots of stamps😊

[@tammyb6497]

There’s always chaos before the calm when you’re trying to clean up or organize something! The drawers worked out great for your CTMH stamps. SU stamps are harder to store I find. I take the photopolymer stamps out of the cases and put them into Avery Elle storage pockets. If there are matching dies, they will fit in the pocket with a magnet sheet, as long as there aren’t too many. The cling stamps don’t really work with this system. I store the pockets in fridge bins. My biggest issue is that I have to store my cling and wood mount stamps separately from the clear stamps. I’m kind of over trying to figure out a good solution for stamp storage and I’m tired of buying furniture to fit my supplies. I can’t wait to see how you organize your paper. Best of luck with your organization! 🇨🇦

[@longlivedemocracy756]

You should check out all the KZbin videos on unmounting wood stamps! Saves a ton of space and enabled me to store them in categories with my other stamps.

[@tammyb6497]

@@longlivedemocracy756 I don’t mind my wood stamps; they work well. It’s the dvd cases for the cling stamps that don’t fit into my system. I’m probably just going to find similar stamps from other companies and get rid of my SU stamps.

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

It’s hard when all the supplies don’t fit into the same system. That’s one of the reasons I’m planning to purge most of my non-ctmh/SU stamps because they just don’t fit. I hope you find a good solution for yours!

[@tammyb6497]

@@ChelseyVorosmarty I’m going to purge most of my SU stamps. They take up so much space but they are hard to get rid of because the market is so saturated with Stampin Up stuff.

[@susanhammond2724]

I don't have this many stamps but my craft room definitely needs a bit of a storage overhaul. I do like the ideas of storing the stamps in a drawer. Not sure about getting the drawer dividers here in New Zealand but will have a look. Thanks for sharing! I've added this to my list of re-organization ideas.

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

I’m glad I could give you some ideas and I hope you can find some drawer dividers. They work really well.

[@christinemuir8930]

Try fridge drink containers for Stampin up stamps. The fit really well.

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@cathysito7414]

Did all 8 boxes fit in 3 drawers? So happy the drawers fit the CTMH stamp sets! Yay!

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

Yes all 8 boxes fit inside except for the few stamp sets I have from other companies. I have room for a few more ctmh sets too, the drawers are not packed full!

[@Sneezy1956]

Looks wonderful I'm going from a whole room to half of a bedroom. I have thousands of stamps but a lot of mine are magnolia and other doll like stamps as well as one full case of close to my heart sentiments. I have the closet full of nothing but stamps

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

Stamps are such fun tools and since you never use them up, they do tend to accumulate! 😂

[@claudiahurd9855]

Great ideas! Thanks!

[@annasalinas2070]

Looks great!

[@karenmarie2282]

Stampin up should put there photopolymer stamp like ctmh can store a lot more of stamp in your space! The SU cases take up a lot of space

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

They do take a lot of space. I love the ctmh stamp envelops and magnetic sheets for the dies.

[@rosaliehope5385]

That worked out beautifully! Im searching for those ctmh organizers :) especiallysince i purchased A LOT of stamp sets at the end. :( I look forward to your next video!

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

The organizers are great for storage but aren’t the most efficient when using Kallax shelves.

[@madswansfan1]

That’s a great storage idea. Will you be sharing any other tips for the rest of the room?

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

Yes I will. I’m working on my paper now and I’ll share a video once I get that done.

[@danasterry4]

Loved your video! Now I want to see what you did with everything you took out of those drawers! 😂

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

Haha that is a work in progress! I'm trying to find the right storage and I think I need to make a trip to Ikea for another Alex drawer!

[@danasterry4]

@@ChelseyVorosmarty I was just telling another friend that I have never been to IKEA! I’m scared to go in! 🤣🤣

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

@@danasterry4 haha there are a lot of good craft storage options there, but it can definitely be overwhelming!

[@leattaleake8756]

Great job on organizing all your CTMH stamp sets. Are you going to sell some of your big organizers? If you are, I think you live in Canada I would really like to buy two of them as I have quite a few close to my heart stamps, but I have much more Stampin’ Up ones. Of course, when I went to look for more, they had been discontinued, can you maybe let me know thank you very much

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

I do live in Canada, however I have local friends who have already spoken for any organizers I decide not to keep. They are a popular item!

[@sidneykoepp3655]

If you get a chance to come to the U.S. maybe you can invest in the Stamp & Storage systems. Actually a small IKEA book case holds Stampin Up stamps very well & the wide Alex drawers will be perfect for your other stuff. Good luck purging.

[@sarahshafer6078]

Curious, @sidneykoepp3655 which IKEA bookcase?

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

I’ve been looking at bookcase options for my SU sets. I’m off to a fast start collecting them, so I need to find a solution asap! I’ve seen Stamp & Storage has some nice options, I haven’t looked at shipping prices though!

[@gik4695]

Nice, i quite like this drawer idea for my CTMH stamps! What are all the categories you labeled?

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

My categories are 1) patterns/borders/interactive 2) Vintage/Masculine/Love 3) Baby/Kids/People 4) Scrapbooking/Alphabets 5) Flowers/Bugs/Spring/Easter 6)Sentiments 7) Birthday 8) Animals 9) Fall/Halloween 10) Christmas/Winter 10) Travel/Summer

[@geanetteandrea]

You could use those little divider pieces across the back so you wouldn’t have to struggle with the sets of stamps that are hard to reach because the drawer doesn’t open all the way.

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

Yes I had debated doing that. I don’t have enough dividers for all of them but if it’s bothering me I with definitely give it a try.

[@inekegeernaert801]

Welcome to Stampin' Up! I hope you will come to love it. Pity that the SU stamp sets don't fit nicely in the drawers! I've been a demo for just over 4 yrs now and still haven't found a storage method that works. Yikes!

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

Thanks for the warm welcome. I’m thinking I will try a bookcase to store my stamps, however I think it’s going to fill up fast!

[@inekegeernaert801]

@@ChelseyVorosmarty My large Ikea book case is full ... lol!

[@lindamoore9729]

I only have Stamping Up stamps and those cases take up too much room for me, so I bought plastic envelopes to store mine in and it saves a lot of space as I live in an apartment and don't have a lot of storage room.

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

The plastic envelopes seem like a popular solution to the SU storage issues. I’m not too sure what I’m going to do yet. Maybe a bookcase to start.

[@DodiePajer]

Great idea! Would you mind sharing the specifics on the envelopes (where purchased, item name/number, etc.)?

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

@@DodiePajer do you mean the plastic envelopes my stamps are in? Those are from Close To My Heart. That's how they sold their stamps, which was such a good style of packaging. They measure 6.5" x 6.5". I have other plastic pockets that are thinner that I store my dies in and I got those from Amazon. You can find a variety of styles and sizes on Amazon. These are the ones most of my dies are in. amzn.to/4bpcKIj

[@angelmoonllc821]

Are you selling the storage containers now that you’ve emptied them? I’m still using them to store my stampsets and would love a couple more.

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

Sorry I have a couple local friends whom have spoken for any that I’m not keeping.

[@hoodie427]

I wanted to like your video but there is only an unlike button available? LOL Anyway it was very satisfying to see this come together. It's perfect!

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

Not sure what’s going on with the dislike button, but I’m not seeing that on my end. Thanks for trying to give me a like!

[@mariatomlin2251]

What app do you use to keep track of your stamps?

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

The app is called Notebook. I switched over from Evernote when they started charging for anything over 50 entries. Notebook works pretty well and it’s free.

[@sarahshafer6078]

Two things, Chelsey Vorosmarty first and most important when I tried to like your video it registered as a dislike. I wanted to let you know in case this was happening to other people as well. It could be pretty discouraging to get a ton on dislikes, I would imagine. Second, could you tell me how wide your dressers are that you are using and how many stamps you got in 1 row? I'm thinking of changing mine up as well and wanted to see if that would be a good option for me. Thanks so much for the idea.

[@avidscrapper1]

You can readjust the drawers to open all the way.

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

Really? I didn’t know this. I’ll have to look for a video on how to do that. It really is the major drawback to ikea furniture with drawers.

[@avidscrapper1]

I know! I saw the video on KZbin. I think I searched for ikea hacks.

[@pennydouphinett4545]

Warning about Alex drawers: they don't open all the way. They stop at almost 3/4. This is a big problem for the drawers I have paints and things in. If I had known, I wouldn’t have bought Ikea products. Good luck.

[@ChelseyVorosmarty]

Yes that is the biggest draw back to ikea drawers. Another viewer commented there is a hack to get around this, but I haven’t looked into it yet. For me I usually put smaller supplies in low baskets inside the drawers so I can easily slide the basket out in case I need to reach something at the back. It has worked pretty well with the Alex drawers.

[@jenniferoja9566]

Looks great!
