Stampin' Up! Weekly Deals: January 20-26

Craft Room Organization: Pool Party

In a previous post, I showed a new way I was organizing my clear blocks.  I love the idea of putting them all in a small desk organizer, but it always bothered me that it only came in black wire mesh.  So this weekend I decided to alter it.  I used Martha Stewart file folders I purchased at Staples and I covered the base to make it look nicer.  These folders already match my craft room.  It reminds me of Pool Party... which I love.

Then I couldn't stop at the organizer and I altered more stuff on my craft table.  My double-side tape dispenser, my little grab tray where I keep the things I need quickly on my desk (scissors, dimensionals, adhesive) and I also altered the jar I use as my garbage bin for small scraps.  I went a little crazy with the folders... but I love it.

I already had the in and out boxes from Martha Stewart so now everything matches beautifully.  If only I could keep the top of my desk this clean all the time.  Now that's a challenge!

Hope this inspires you!

Moonlight DSP Thank You Open Box

I love the Stampin' Up! Moonlight DSP pack.  I made these Thank You boxes for my customers.  These are great to hold little treats, Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares or maybe even 3 x 3 mini cards.

The paper in the DSP packs measure 6 1/2 x 4 1/2.  

I scored on the long side at 2 3/4, 3 3/4" and score on both short sides at 3/4"

Add sticky strip to the sides and then decorate.
