Hello,
my wonderful crafty friends!
I
hope everyone had a lovely New Year’s and didn’t get into too much trouble. =)
Today
is finally the day I share with you my new and improved craft space / storage
solution!
Now
before I jump right in and tell you all about my wonderful new craft space I
feel like I need to explain a few things about my old system, why it wasn’t
working for me and why it is in the place it is…..
Ok
so first off we live in a rental house so we can’t go around putting up lots of fancy
shelving,
Second
I don’t have the luxury of been able to turn a whole room into a crafting
space,
So….
My crafting space is in my wardrobe, in my room!
My
main problem with this was that I was having a hard time organizing but also displaying
my 12 X 12 Designer Series Paper stacks, A4 cardstock, ink pads and markers. I’m
one of those people that if it’s not in my face or somewhere within eyesight I tend
to forget about it and then it goes unused.
My
ink pads were all staked up on one another making it a pain to get just one
colour out, I have stacks of markers but
they were all in plastic bins out of sight so they hardly ever got used and my
12 X 12 Designer Series Paper and A4 cardstock was stacked in large flat 30
litre Sistema Storage boxes that slid under my bed, this worked really well at
the time as I could fit a ton of my 12 X 12 Designer Series Paper stacks in
them plus my A4 cardstock, but as my collection grew I was getting sick of the
boxes, and if I wanted cardstock that was at the bottom I had to pull all the
other cardstock out with it - which would result in me constantly doing my
“grr” face.
So
now is the part you have been waiting for - my new storage solution.
I
did a lot of looking around New Zealand and online for ways to store my
cardstock, ink pads and markers but kept coming back to one online shop - Stamp N Storage. Now for any of you who haven’t heard of Stamp N Storage let me tell
you they have all you’re crafting storage solutions under control - they have
everything you could possible dream of.
Here
are just a few reasons why I think Stamp N Storage are your go-to for all your craft
storage solutions.
I asked for a ton of different quotes
with slightly different amounts of the larger items just to see what the
differences in shipping would be, I was originally only going to get 3 Paper Holders
and order another one at a later date, however they pointed out that it was
actually cheaper to order two lots of two as two paper holders can fit in one shipping
box, therefore saving you money in the long run - This is where a lot of other company’s
would just see dollar signs and take your money and not care that you could save
a few bucks or a lot in this case.
Because I know a lot of companies
have different ways of handling damaged items / goods I also asked them what
happens if for some reason these products get damaged in shipping, and if they
offered replacement's for international costumer's or what would happen in this
situation? There answer was music to my ears, there reply “We actually have
rarely encountered damage with international shipping. However, if anything is broken, we will
replace it free of charge.”
The customer service they provided was
outstanding, plus no long waiting times to get a reply back to your e-mails
like you get with some other online companies - This was a huge tick form me.
All Stamp N Storage products are made
from Baltic Birch plywood, a quality material used for drawers in high-end
kitchen cabinets and the dividers are made from MDF (Medium Density
Fiberboard), so you know these are built to last a life time. Everything
is beautifully crafted right down to the last nail - you can really tell Stamp N Storage takes great pride
in their workmanship.
All Stamp N Storage products come as
unfinished wood, which means you can paint them any colour you want, from hot
pink to black or paint them to match your existing storage units!
They also come fully made - No assembly required! Phew! For those of us who don’t have a handy man.

Did I mention super affordable too?
You would think looking at these products that they
would cost you a small fortune, no sir, these are in everyone’s price range, and
even if you’re an international costumer they are still very affordable.
So
I’m sure you’re all going …well what did you end up getting then?
Well
I now have these fanatics product’s to store / sort and organize everything…
I
can now see every ink pad colour I own, but most importantly I can grab just one - not like before!
All
my Designer Series Paper and cardstock is now in my face which means I can finally
start using that Designer Series Paper I forgot I had, All my markers are
now in sight so they can finally get some use too and they look so awesome all sorted by band and colour.
I
would recommend Stamp N Storage to anyone that is looking for a good quality
storage solution in their craft room, great people, outstanding customer
service and top of the line products. I will definitely be ordering more when I
have a larger craft room.
Head over to view the whole line
of products at the Stamp N Storage store to look at everything else they have
to offer, the hardest part will be deciding what not to get, you’ll want the
whole shop.
Now
that I have everything organized I can finally get back to creating,
Thanks
for stopping by and have a lovely week.
