New Packaging: Stamp & Die Organizers

 

The shift begins with November 2025 Online Exclusives. Sometimes change can be hard, but as we use something new we often find that we love it! Take the new colors Secret Sea and Cloud Cover for example. When we first saw them online, several of us in my Demonstrator group were skeptical of these colors thinking they were two more shades of gray. Then they came in the mail and wowee! We found how gorgeous and versatile they were!! Secret Sea especially, it's not just a darker shade of Night of Navy. It has a different tone altogether and it is supremely beautiful!!! When we first learned aobut the new stamp and die organizers, I decided to embrace the change and quickly converted alllll of my stamps to this new system, and I am totally loving it! The amount of space my stamps and dies now take up is so significant making my craft room flow so much better and feel happier.  Catch the vision—  First, take a look at the post about my Mini Craft Room Makeover here: https://scmagnolia.blogspot.com/2025/09/craft-room-mini-make-over.html Look at all this beautiful low profile space!! I want to highlight the benefits of moving in this storage direction! Here are a few of them: The profile is slim (5-5/8" x 9") and takes up less space. With printed artwork on the front (for dies, too!), you can flip through and quickly find what you’re looking for. It’s now easier to store coordinating stamps and dies together.

Happy Fall Y'all!!

Ribbon Wranglers

 

To keep your ribbon from unwinding and making a mess, make these Ribbon Wranglers! A simple fix with a strip of cardstock and you will have no more messy ribbon spools! I've done this to all of my ribbon and they are now wrangled into submission! PDF directions

All you need are:

• glue
• Thick Basic White cardstock
• scissors
• Hole Punch Assortment

Cutting Thick Basic White Cardstock

• Regular Size Ribbon Spools: cut cardstock 1/2” x 5-1/2”
• Wide Ribbon Spools: 1/2” x 8-1/2”
• Thread Spools: 1/2” x 2-1/4” mark it in the center

Hole Punch Assortment  https://www.stampinup.com/products/hole-punch-assortment?demoid=2109078

1. Insert cardstock into hole on ribbon spool, leave about one inch sticking out on the other side.

2. Fold cardstock around the spool, creating crease marks along the edges of the spool. Allow some overlap, then trim off excess.

3. With a pencil, mark the center of the cardstock the width of the spool.

4. Use punch out a slit where pencil line is.

5. Even up crease lines and crease well.

6. Reinsert cardstock strip into ribbon spool and glue where the ends overlap.

7. With the end of the ribbon on your right, insert ribbon into the slit shaped hole towards your left. Pull tight. Slide ribbon gizmo away from the ribbon end to shorten length of ribbon hanging out.

Thread Spool:

• For a spool you make it a little differently. You just create a little cap that you can place on the end and twist this to tighten it up.

• With a new spool, there is just the tiniest bit of spool to work with. It's easier to get a spool that is almost gone to make them for newer spools that already have so much thread on them.

1. Cut cardstock to 1/2” x 2-1/4” and mark it in the center. Using the 1/8" hole punch to create the hole.

2. Wrap the cap around tightly and glue. Hold for a few seconds to allow glue to dry.

3. Take the little cap off. Thread the Linen Thread or Baker's Twine through the center of the cap, around the end then down the through the hole you punched.

4. Place the cap back on the spool and twist it until .

5. If there is a lot of thread, you might want to hand twist it. As you twist, it kind of locks into place.

Pretty Pinks!

 This card wasn't hard, and it took a while to make but it turned out so pretty. I got the idea from fellow Demo, Joanne James. I love looking at other's color combos. In this case, I wouldn't have thought to use gray in the background, and yet it is gorgeous. I'm still thinking about whether or not I want to add some gems or resin dots... maybe some sequins. I just got a  box of new Stampin' Up! goodies to play with and now my attention is divided! lol
