Almost all my craft supplies are from Stampin’ Up! However, today I’m sharing some “non-Stampin’ Up!” products that I keep at my desk. Each helps make my crafting process easier and tidier.

#5: desk mini trash can
TRASH IT! Do you find the backs of the Stampin’ Dimensionals everywhere? Keep this mini trash can close so those backings go right into the trash.

#6: dash salt & sugar cellar
STORE IT! Keep your Simply Shammy quarters readily available by storing them in this salt cellar! I cut my shammy in quarters and get each quarter moist. I simply tuck them inside the salt keeper (lid flips back) and close the lid. Helps keep them moist longer. An alternative is using an empty stamp case.
#7: mini MISTI

POSITION & STAMP IT! The Mini Misti has become my “go to” stamp positioning tool and ensures crisp ink coverage. I adore the mini size (Dimension: 6 x 7; Stamp area: 6 x 4.75). You can shop for MISTI’s here.

I too love that ruler but have learned not to use a craft knife with it : (
Do you own the metal or plastic ruler? I do not use a craft knife with mine, but just curious. Mary
Not sure how the salt/sugar cellar works for shammy ???

I, too, am hoping for a follow up demo regarding the salt/sugar cellar.

Great idea, thanks!
Where did you get your basic craft room wall cabinet that holds all the boxes and bins?
Hi Carol, the white bookshelves in my “command center” were removed from our basement and repurposed in my craft room. So it is a “custom” piece but I didn’t build it for my space, it just worked.
I’m confused on how the salt/sugar cellar works with the shammy. Can you explain it, please?

Oh boy. You’re an enabler! lol I bought the mini trash can and ruler. Let’s not for the glue pen (from another post).
As always, thanks for the inspiration!

THAT is the BEST ruler I have EVER had. Mary is so right. Every paper crafter should have one. WARNING: Other people in your house may want to steal it. 🙂 I prefer the 18 inch size.
Thank you for the insight, I have added the 18inch to the offering as well.
