Talky Tuesday | What’s That One Craft Supply You Just Can’t Resist? 🎨

I would have to say cardstock!!! It’s been some time that I have bought so much cardstock but it’s because I bought so much at 1 time that I still have a big supply. Some crafters may remember how Michael’s would have the 5 packs for $10 (this was during COVID). I bought boxes and boxes full of cardstock and it was delivered right to my doorstep!!! Who can say no to that deal?!?! I sure couldn’t. It is not 2025 and I still have plenty of packs, just to give you an idea of how crazy my buy was in 2020.

It sounds like you are like me :rofl: To help with your scraps, well what helped me was to put them in file organizers that I keep in my draw. I organize by color so you can always find the color you want. I also have two one for HTV and one for vinyl. I don’t have these exact ones but it is very similar. Might help someone else with organizing their scraps as well. Bigger craft would help us to :rofl:

Congratulations to @redhada, @InkiteeWorkshop and @Jobelle_Pascual :partying_face:

I love reading this thread here. I’ve been buying everything you guys mentioned already :joy: from pens, gel pens, pencils, tapes (all sort of tapes you asked it, I have it!), all kind of vinyls - you named it!, beads, cords, elastic bands, buttons, zippers, cardstocks, notebooks, scissors, mats, to machines, and many more to mention. Also, I got a ton of fabrics too! (I am a hoarder :shushing_face:) I won’t be sharing any picture in here but just imagine it inside behind my Dreambox well organized - the reason why my husband bought it to begin with 'coz when I bought something I always put them inside the drawers fully loaded and when the time I need it, I can’t find it and only to find out it was buried down below after I bought another of the same kind again. All I can say to myself, “Ooooops! I did it again!”

Now, I am so happy with my organization 'coz I know what I already have and don’t have. I know their places exactly where they are right now specially using the old vinyls first before the new vinyls of the same kind. :wink:

I love your craft room. Mine never looks this tidy, always have boxes of stuff that I am reviewing that doesn’t have a spot yet.

How do you store your fabric. I have mine in big plastic containers, one on top of each other. It’s not ideal, can’t find anything so then I just buy more hahahaha :heart_eyes:

@skyicreations & @prinsesaian I too have a great love of cardstock and a huge pile of it.

How do you store all that cardstock @skyicreations. You create absolutely beautiful things with it so I’m sure it’s totally fine to have that much cardstock :heart_eyes:

Thank you :kissing_heart:. For the meantime, (but not too long hopefully??) I stored them in a long flat storage bins and some bins for my fabrics below:

I bought 2 free standing cabinets last year and haven’t assembled it yet.

This is how it looks like when assembled:

I have one in my kitchen right now, I love it so I bought extra 2 for my fabrics and maybe ended up buying another 2 again?

Oh those cupboards are gorgeous. I may have to buy some for my fabric. Yes my fabric is in the same plastic tubs. It’s annoying finding anything.

I bet and I can really relate! :joy: Buy more when we don’t want to dig under the bottom of the bins. Hahaha :joy:

good way to organize, I’ve also seen some crafters use binders with separate envelopes inside to store scraps

The paper invaded my garage, lol. I use the wooden cube organizers and put the unopened pack in there and use them as the table “legs” for my wood shop area.
