[@kirriesummers5219]

I look forward to moving to be close to my children and grandchildren, setting up a "real" craft room and using many of your organizational solutions. Your system is sensible, creative and very neat,which I want. It also makes everything accessible. Who wants to start from scratch for every card we make? Thank you, Amy. You are kind and generous to share your creative system with us. ❤️🇨🇦❤️❤️

[@amyswares]

Thanks so much for your kind comment. I'm so happy that you found it helpful.

[@Mar-bk7gx]

Wow, I really needed this! Great solutions, you are the Storage Queen. Thank you so much! ❤

[@amyswares]

You are so kind. Glad you like it!

[@sharoncooper9593]

Thank you so much Amy. You referred me to this video because I asked you about how you had so many sentiments already die cut etc. This video is so helpful. YOU are really organized at a whole new level. Brilliant! Thank you also for taking the time to answer me. I really appreciate it. Best of everything to you and yours.

[@amyswares]

I'm happy to help. Ask questions anytime. Thanks for watching!

[@vickycullen7249]

WOW. Great ideas! Spending the day cataloguing my craft supplies

[@amyswares]

That's awesome! Sounds like a great day!

[@stellaolejar9007]

Just finish watching your storing solutions video. I'm obsessed with the Taylor Expressions sentiment strip solution and your great idea of your 3 ring binder. I like you will sit and just batch a whole lot of sentiments or sit down and color. But, unlike you I really had no real storage solutions. Thank you so much for your wonderful ideas. Enjoy your weekend. God bless

[@amyswares]

That's awesome that you batch too. So glad you like the vid. Thanks for watching!

Hi Amy! Thanks for directing me to your storage solutions video. I would have never thought to look in the jewelry section at my local craft store. Since this is a "want" and not a "NEED" I'll check these out the next time I'm out shopping. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and helping a fellow crafter get organized!

Cool organization! And yay! Finally a box for mini ink cubes. I have a couple Darice for my distress cubes but needed some storage for the Altenew mini cubes. Thanks for sharing.

[@amyswares]

You are so welcome!! I think it's not actually Darice when I looked it up but it's in the link. So glad it helps 😊 thanks for watching sweet Nan.

[@nangustafson8110]

Probably not Darice as they stopped offering them, hence, my excitement at seeing something these little ink cubes will fit in. And I have 32 Altenew ink cubes. 👍🏻

[@amyswares]

@@nangustafson8110 perfect!! Yes there are exactly 32 spots!

[@amyswares]

What are your storage solutions and hacks? I feel as if it's a whole other side hobby and something that it always evolving! Do you enjoy organizing your crafty goodies as much as I do?

Great idea for black cardstock behind stencils! No I have another project to do. I already have them in a binder but used white cardstock.

[@gingerpayne7310]

Great ideas! Can’t wait to try some of these ideas. Do you remember where your puppy set stamps are from?

[@amyswares]

It even appears to be on sale right now. I love that one because I will put the dog down flush on the paper and then pop up the paws with a little foam dot...It looks like they are on a ledge or in a window. Too cute!!

[@gingerpayne7310]

@@amyswares what company is the puppy stamp from?

[@amyswares]

I think it keeps removing my comment for some reason. I was trying to send you the link. It's at scrabook dot come and it's Simon Hurley brand. Sorry for the trouble.

[@lesliecapone9343]

Great ideas! Everything organized and ready to go!

[@amyswares]

Thanks friend, so glad you like it!!

[@paulasherrod6835]

Thank you for giving us a peek into your storage solutions. I am new to your videos. I was just excited to see you are a stencil girl. I love them too. Can’t wait to see how you use them! I have something to look forward to from your channel!

[@amyswares]

Oh you are so kind. I'm so glad that you found me. I am absolutely a stencil girl! Thanks for watching!

[@ardyth]

I definitely need to adopt some of these ideas! I love the idea of having the sentiments made up already! Great video!

[@amyswares]

Thanks friend! It definitely comes in handy with batching. I appreciate you!

[@hollybrown4235]

Great ideas!! I store my stencils in sheet protectors but I do a test stencil on white copy paper and put that in with each stencil. It helps me visualize how the stencil will look on paper.

[@amyswares]

Ooooh that's so smart Holly! I love that

[@amyfouts9781]

Thank u so much 4 sharing the link 2 your organizing video. I love your notebooks. I have notebooks for bling, negatives, embellishments. Do u sort your embellishments & sentiments according 2 company or categories, stamps & or die sets? Do u also put stickers in a notebook as well? If not how do u store/organize the stickers. When u r making a bunch of your embellishments & sentiments how do u know what colors or type of paper u use head of time? I love how u store your bling. Thank u 4 that idea. Thank u 4 letting me pick your brain on this subject. I'm fairly new 2 your channel. I love your channel. Have a great blessed day.

[@amyswares]

I don't really sort them in any way other than maybe thank you together, birthday together etc. I don't really have any stickers. I just have the one folder for sentiment die cuts and the one for stamped critters. I welcome the questions! Glad you found me!

@@amyfouts9781 oh that's so cool that you found me that way. That's very helpful for me to know. Thanks!!

[@sheilagraber5577]

I love how you organize everything. Those binders full of sentiments and critters are awesome. I need to buy some sentiments. Seems I have bought so much for the last year and there is still a lot of necessities I don’t have. ❤️

[@amyswares]

I'm so glad you like it! Thanks so much for watching and for the kind note!

[@wendyharbarger1445]

Your mini ink cube storage is from where? Thanks for sharing these ideas. Because we are moving in about 5 months, I need to be more organized in my new space. So these ideas are very helpful.

[@amyswares]

You are so welcome. I'm so glad you liked it. All the products that are available are linked below the video. If you expand and scroll down on the video description box you'll find the different ones there. Thanks for watching and good luck on the move!

[@debs55695]

Thanks for sharing this video Amy of your storage solutions!! I'm always looking for more efficient ways to organize my supplies. Will definitely be trying some of these out for sure!!

[@amyswares]

Yay, I'm so glad you like it Deb. This was a vid request along with your cloud edger request. I have made that video and was finishing it up today. So watch for me to release that soon. Have a great weekend!

[@jsheldon9735]

How do you store your cutting dies? I would be really curious. I love your solution for storing sentiments. I have some small plastic boxes that I put my sentiments in, but I think I'd like to get the baseball pockets. They look a lot more efficient for storing the sentiments.

[@amyswares]

Hiya, I don't have the best system yet honestly. I have the ones that I use the most are in a plastic magazine holder by my die cutting machine. I have them in the same type of plastic pockets that I store my stamps and then upright in that magazine holder. The others I have in 3 ring binders with page protector pocket sheets (the full size ones). I really should come up with something better but I haven't yet. I do like the baseball pocket sheets for the sentiments and for my critters for sure! You know, that might work for small dies too now that I'm thinking about it (if you didn't want to keep the packaging). If I come up with something better or clever I will be sure to share. Please let me know if you come up with something too for your dies. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend!

[@loriwikoff1410]

Where did you get the distress ink containers?

[@amyswares]

I believe that I got those either from Joann or amazon. If you expand the vid description box below the vid and scroll down you will find the links. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching!!

[@bethjeans3780]

Late to the party… Amy, when you’re running low of a sentiment and want to make some more, do you have a notation or anything that tells you which stamp/die set it’s from? Or do you just know? Thanks!

[@amyswares]

Hi there, I don't actually but that's a really good idea! Thanks so much for watching!

[@Cards4Cancer]

Thanks for sharing Amy. How long have you been storing your markers up side down? Do you ever feel like the ink dries out on the other end. I am desperately trying to get my markers organized. I have the Graph it brand. They are from a company in France. They have like a felt tip marker on one end and the normal tear drop end like on copics. I absolutely love them. I think they cost more than the copics, but I don't have to purchase new tips for each. I do need to get some refills though. I have been waiting on a sale.

[@amyswares]

I have had them like that for quite a while and haven't noticed any issues. I think I saw someone say that the manufacturer says that they can be on their side or upright and it doesn't matter but I could be mistaken. I will let you know if they end up causing me any issues. Thanks as always for watching Karla!

Love this video. I have the mini ink storage containers in my cart, probably need the bling containers too. 😊
