I am really enjoying bringing you My Favorite Things during the month of March. Today I want to share with you why I love the storage by Stampin’ Up! solutions. I’ve got options for my ink pads, markers, Stampin’ Blends, and embellishments.

I have been using storage by Stampin’ Up! for over a year now and I am loving how it’s working for me. I have a video to share with you about how I use the storage in my stamp room.

I personally use Storage by Stampin’ Up and I 100% endorse it. It’s fabulous! I love having all my ink pads, Blends, and markers within arms reach but even more than that, I love how neat and clean it looks.

I know that some of you have spend your “quarantine” time organizing and cleaning up. This might be a great time to consider getting this storage system and creating a wonderful stamping space for yourself.

In my video I shared how I use Storage by Stampin’ Up. Let me share a quick 45 second video with you showcasing lots of different ways you can configure the trays.

When it comes to storage and customizing, we all have questions, right? Let me answer a few you might have.

Q: Will old-design Stampin’ Up ink pads fit in the Ink Pad & Marker Storage Trays?

A: No. They are designed to fit the current ink pads only.

Q: Are ink pads difficult to remove from Ink Pad & Marker Storage Trays?

A: No. When you insert an ink pad into a storage tray, a small portion of the ink pad will stick out. Stampin’ Up designed it this way, so your ink pads will be both secure and easy to access.

Q: Can I mix and match Storage by Stampin’ Up! products?

A: Yes! They are modular and designed with customization in mind. You build it to suit your needs and space.

Q: How high can I stack storage trays?

A: Stampin’ Up stacked up to 50 storage trays without any issues, BUT don’t recommend stacking that high. While the Storage by Stampin’ Up! products are sturdy, the higher you stack them, the less stable they’ll become. Use your discretion when stacking.

Q: Do I need a Storage Lid for each 5-tray stack?

A: No. The Storage Lid covers the top of Ink Pad & Marker Storage Trays, Stampin’ Blends Storage Trays, and Open Storage Cubes, so you need only one per storage configuration.

Q: Can I mount my Storage by Stampin’ Up! products on the wall?

A: No. They are designed to sit on a table (or similar flat surface).

Q: How many Stampin’ Ink Refills can I store in the Storage Topper?

A: You can store up to 20 Stampin’ Ink Refills (or other small items) in the Storage Topper.

Q:: How should I use the Open Storage Cube?

A: The Open Storage Cube can be used to hold any miscellaneous items like ribbon, embellishments, and small punches. Or, check out this idea using the Half Wide stamp cases. Just add 3 ½” x 11 ¼” Designer Series Paper inside the cover.

Q: How do I know how many trays to buy?

A: Stampin’ Up has a great configuration chart to help you. Click here to DOWNLOAD the free CONFIGURATION CHART.

What a crazy time we are living in right now! I don’t know about you but I feel as if I have been glued to the television because the world is changing by the hour.

We already knew that Ginny university closed for 3 weeks. She on Spring Break right now and will go to online classes for the following 2 weeks. This shouldn’t be a huge problem for her since, as a Freshman, she is taking a lot of basic classes anyway. She’s just glad she can stay home snuggling with her dog rather than be in the dorm for those 2 weeks.

We just got the announcement yesterday that the school where Christina teaches will be out until April 6th. You would think a high school teacher would be kind of happy about something like this but Christina is devastated. She had just started rehearsals for their spring musical, “The Wedding Singer” (yes, a musical based off of the movie). Musicals are hard and typically take 7-8 weeks of rehearsal. Losing 2 weeks of that is going to be an issue and if schools stay closed longer than 2 weeks, well, a hard decision will have to be made.

I know we all hope this gets better before it gets worse. I am doing my part by staying in and stamping my little heart out. It’s such a sacrifice. lol But seriously, I am staying put. It’s the best thing I can do to help stop this virus.

I just wanted to end this by saying I LOVE YOU GUYS! Please stay safe out there! Let’s not let all this uncertainty change who we are inside. If there is EVER a time to send some love in the mail, THIS IS IT! Watching all those stamping videos, buying all those stamp sets and cardstock. This is what we have been TRAINED to do! Let’s go spread some love and not germs over the next few weeks.

Being organized makes my creative time more productive and enjoyable. Seeing all my ink pads, markers, and Stampin’ Blends allows me to make the right color choices because I’m not digging around through boxes or tubs of ink pads. I love this system! Sale-a-Bration is a great time to consider getting your stamp space pretty and organized.

Those look handy. But am curious will other companies stamp pads fit in them?

  I wish I could help Mariellen, but I only use Stampin’ Up ink pads so I can’t really check it out for you.

Hello Connie – I was wondering if the little square at the back of a piece that holds a stamp and a marker could hold a mini stamp pad, like those that come in paper pumpkin boxes?

  Laura, it does but unfortunately, short of taking the entire tower apart, there is no way to reach it.
