Studio Sunday – Patterned Paper, Solid Cardstock, and Kits & Collections

December 6, 2015

 

collage of paper organization ideas with text: Organizing Paper, Patterned Paper, Solid CardstockIt’s Studio Sunday, y’all! You know what that means, don’t you? We’re going to take an in-depth look at how I organize paper. All of it.

It feels like we’ve been talking about paper forever. We organized our scraps. We spent two weeks organizing patterned paper. And now we’re organizing our solid cardstock. Check. Check. Check. Aren’t you proud of me? Yep, I’m awesome like that.

I use a wire shelf to store all of my paper and it’s sorted by a combination of color, collection, and category.

You can check out links to the supplies I used for organizing my paper in my Organizing Patterned Paper by Color post. 

I toss mini-albums and chipboard in the galvanized steel bins on the top two shelves. I don’t use them all that often, so… That’s what makes sense for me.

Valentine’s, Halloween, and Christmas paper is organized in Iris cases.

page kits and paper collections filed in wicket baskets and solid cardstock organized by colorKits & collections are organized in 13×15 Ziplock bags. I keep them in baskets. I love these brown baskets. They’re the perfect size. I got them from Michael’s quite a while ago.

I actually just half-jokingly mentioned to my parents that it might be about time to start using some of this stuff. My input always has, and probably always will, far exceed my output. Lol…

paper cutters and solid cardstock arranged on one shelf with patterned paper in Cropper Hoppers on anotherThere are a few packs and stacks of both patterned paper and solid cardstock that are just sort of in a pile. I stocked up at one point before I had the little guy and of course I’m not going through it anywhere near as quickly these days.

Solid cardstock is organized by color in Cropper Hopper Minis.

patterned paper organized by color in Cropper HoppersThe majority of my patterned paper is sorted by color and stored in Cropper Hoppers. Each Cropper Hopper is labelled by color. I organize the overwhelming majority of my patterned paper by color with the exception of the few Cropper Hoppers I tend to keep on my workspace.

Cropper Hopper filled with scrapbooking paperEach Cropper Hopper also has three dividers to keep certain brands separate. K & Co, My Mind’s Eye, and Die Cuts With A View were the brands I had the most of, so I thought it made sense to label them by brand as well. At least that way I’ll always know what I have and what I don’t.
