Custom shelves for Storage by Stampin’ Up!

July 24, 2019 10 Comments

Today’s project is a little different but one I’ve been thinking about for a while. For me organisation is a big factor in stress-free crafting. I love the new Storage by Stampin’ Up! range but I found one thing was missing, shelves for my flat adhesives. So I decided to make my own and today I’ll show you how to make them as well.

VIDEO TUTORIAL

To make the explanation easier I’ve created a short video tutorial for you.

In the video I create a shelf that is 1″ high, but using the diagram below you’ll be able to make your shelf any height you like. Simply use the measurements provided and add in the height of the shelf where you see a red arrow. This will give you your card size and scoring measurement.

Once you’ve made your shelves simply slide them in the Open Storage Cube.

Here’s a better view of the shelves in situ in my storage arrangement. I’ve used three 1″ shelves and one 3/4″ shelf to fill the cube.

Of course the boxes the storage pieces come in are useful too and you can see one idea in my blog post Crafting with re-purpose. The post also includes a video explanation of my Storage by Stampin’ Up! carousel arrangement.

Well that’s it from me for now. Tomorrow I’ll be taking part in the monthly A Paper Pumpkin Thing blog hop so my post will be a little later than usual. Do join me and the rest of the team for lots of ideas using the July Paper Pumpkin kit, On My Mind. This kit coordinates with the Come Sail Away, Garden Lane and Woven Threads suites in the Stampin’ Up! catalogue so even if you didn’t get the kit, there’ll be lots of inspiration for you. I hope you’ll join me then.

For now though, let me leave you with a link to my online store and the Storage by Stampin’ Up! range.

    This is brilliant, Tracy. While I don’t have the SU storage units myself, I can see just how valuable this would be for anyone who does. (Maybe someday I will too). Like you, I am big on a well organized work space, whether that be the kitchen or the craft room, because it automatically translates into a smoother flow of creativity and output. Having worked in tightly restricted conditions in the past, this becomes even more important, so I applaud anyone’s efforts to streamline organization of the myriad of tools and supplies we employ as paper crafters so many thanks for an excellent HELP towards that end!

    What did you use to fasten the ink pad components to the lazy susan?? Also did you fasten the ink pad trays together so they would not tip over and fall off ??

      I didn’t fasten the pieces to the lazy susan or to each other. All the various components are simply stacked as they are designed to be. I’ve had no problems with stability.

    What size of lazy Susan did you use?

      I believe it is 15″ or 16″. It’s a little hard to measure as it’s full of the storage shelves,
