Craft Storage Catalog | A crafty way to keep track of flower dies

As I have quite a few flowers dies, each different, I came up with a simple swatch book that allows me to find the right shape and the right combinations between flowers from different sets.

Joe's Mini Scrap Studio

Almost always we feature craft spaces that are designed and use by female crafters, so when I got this submission by Joe Gonzales I was static. Not only the space is lovely and useful but also rather masculine. I love the dark wood furniture, the displayed artwork, and all those lovely products close by and neatly organized.

Ivette loves her Shoe holder, for two reasons, she can store plenty of stuff at hand.. and it matches her room so well ...


She also loves her main work space, an Ikea island table.

Wendy studio ideas

I will let Wendy explain:

This is the view looking at the craft room from the window, I could not decide what colour to paint, greens, pinks, lilac were all on my mind but went for plain old white, it does make the room a lot brighter.

I will give you a detail photo and description of each area as we go around the room.

I these little drawers I keep all my promarkers, I have labels on with the colours in each drawer

Amy Roller's studio

This studio is filled with lovely details and great storage ideas.

So, just take time and look carefully.

Not only is pretty -lime green and white, perfect combo!- but it is practical as well.

A place for rubber stamps and bellow papers and cricut.

Petra's storage

Petra is a big fan of making her own jewelry. To store all her beads and findings Petra bought a bargain printing cabinet and converted into a beads cabinet.

later on, Petra started to make cards and scrapbooking, and of course started to collect stuff and found its place in the cabinet.

So in the upper part of the cabinet Petra has the card making stuff and in de lower part there are all the beads.

Suzanne Henric's stamp studio

Suzanne Henrich has some mpre photos of her stamping studio. I particularly like the use of the CD units to store the Stampin Up sets (Bellow). You can check her work here and more photos of the studio here.

Becki Wainwright's studio in her own words

I decided to revamp my craft room mainly because I was running out of display space and it also gave me the opportunity to make things more accessible at the same time.

My Expedit bookcase was from Ikea at a wonderful £69 and provides ample space for my 12x12 albums and a few storage baskets at the same time. The wicker baskets with the ribbons tied on the front (in sets of 2 on the bookcase) are for all my colour coded embellishments – these are the real pretties that I adore and need their own storage space LOL

Most of my other embellies are safely stored in my lovely pink (what a surprise there!) butterfly totes as I spend a lot of time at crops so it makes it easier for me – if I had to repack everytime I would forget lots of things!! Although I am running out of space and so have just invested in the Creative Options tote below to store just the embellishments

My stamps are currently in a basket but I have just bought a My Sentiments Exactly stamp storage box – Im a sucker for pink and it only worked out at £10 delivered from eBay US so I couldn’t resist!!!

On the right of my craft room I have my 2m long desk (infact 2 desks pushed together) from Ikea – a bargain at £14 each!!! And my cute storage units on top.

I decided I needed additional storage space for my flowers (yes Im a floweraholic!!!!!!!!) and buttons as I was carrying way too many around in my tote

I was told about these wonderful spice and sweetie jars they have in Ikea so off I trundled….the spice jars are 3 for £1.99 and the large sweetie jars were 99p each but I still need a couple more!

My ultimate storage item has to be my tote-ally cool tote which is jam packed with all of my tools – my life depends on this LMAO.

You can find Becki's work here.

Why IKEA is dangerous, by Bex

Because when you go to get something that is under £10, you spend £100.

Not quite, but Bex literally went in to get the spice jars everyone recommended and came out with 2 units as well so £2 turned into £60. But doesn't her studio look gorgeous?



More on Bex studio later on!

Nicola Girdlestone's studio

Here is what Nicola has to say about her space:
I have been trying to sort out my craft room for ages. I bought the biggest Ikea Expedit unit and an understairs unit from Argos, along with baskets to go in it. After weeks of starting and stopping, I have finally got it to how I like it.
The boxes at the bottom of the Ikea unit hold my papers and cardstock along with small albums and mini books.As you can see the stairs in my craft room I had to work round them.



The drawers on the window sill are Ikea drawers that I decorated with freebie papers. The end one is still waiting to be done.

My husband made the Prima flower unit for me.


Just thought i would share my room with you all, as my husband thinks that it's a waste of space, although it's now tidy.

Large blloms that I also got from poundland are in the two little suitcases at the back

Paula Pascual's Studio

This is my favorite wall in my studio. Still not perfect though. The thin shelves and almost everything else are from IKEA, of course, and at the moment I have up a total of six. Mostly they hold paper flowers and my acrylic paints dabbers.
Under them Kitchen hanging rails perfect for hanging the new items I have bought,because since I sit almost in front of them it reminds me of them and so I use them.
On the right hand side I have got two small and cheap drawer thingies from Homebase that are sold as a sorting system for screws and so on, which I use for sorting my buttons by colour.
I bought the IKEA small cookie jars that i loved from day one to fit in the shelving unit. On them I put all the prima daisies by colour, love the colour splash in the wall in front of me while I am working.























This is one thing I have been after for so long. The actual metal thing is from Tesco, is an over the door rail for towels. It is fantastic to store all my ribbons. Another splash the colour in my sight that inspires me to create.
