Amazon craft room essentials:
3M Command Large Caddy: Cutting Center Companions
These 3M Command Large Caddies are game changers in my cutting station setup! I’ve mounted three to the wall—no nails, no damage—and each one holds up to 10 pounds.
Each bin has its own purpose, keeping my essentials organized and within easy reach:
- Cutting Plates & Platforms
- Go-To Dies & Embossing Folders
- Large Scraps to File & Reuse
Clean, functional, and efficient—just the way I like it!
Tidy & Transparent: Embellishment Storage with Avery Sleeves
I like to transfer and adhere my embellishment sheets onto 4 x 6 cards, then slide them into these handy Avery 4×6 vinyl envelopes. They keep everything protected—and catch any loose gems that try to sneak away!
TIP: The 4 x 6 cards are a clever reuse of the sturdy cardboard inserts that come with Designer Series Paper packs. I used to toss them, but now they serve a practical new purpose!
No Shifting, Just Cutting: Post-It® Tape to the Rescue
This low-tack tape is perfect for holding your dies or cardstock in place as they glide through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine—no slipping, no shifting, just crisp, clean cuts. A top favorite of my Amazon craft room essentials.
Label Everything: P-Touch Cube Plus!
From Stamp-n-Storage die pockets and paper sleeves to embellishments and beyond, the P-Touch Cube Plus makes organizing a breeze. It connects to your smartphone or computer for quick, custom label creation—stylish and simple!
See it Clearly: Victor Easy Read Ruler!
Struggle to spot 1/16″, 3/8″, or 5/8″ measurements? This ruler makes it easy—clear markings and bold numbers take the guesswork out of measuring!
Pin It Down: A Ribbon Storage Tip!
Here’s a clever trick I picked up from Julie DiMatteo, a talented member of my Stampin’ Pretty Pals community! I use teeny pins to hold the ends of my ribbon rolls in place. These tiny pins are gentle and won’t leave holes in the ribbon.
Trash It: Mini Can, Major Desk Saver
Tired of finding Stampin’ Dimensional backings everywhere? This mini trash can fits perfectly on my desk and keeps those tiny bits (and other scraps) under control. It’s a simple solution that makes cleanup quick and easy—just toss as you go!
Store It: A Clever Keeper for Your Simply Shammy
Looking for a smart way to store your Simply Shammy? I cut mine into quarters, moisten each one, and tuck them into this salt cellar. The hinged lid flips back for easy access and helps keep the shammy moist longer.
It’s compact, convenient, and sits neatly on my desk. Prefer a different option? An empty stamp case works well too!
Protect It: My Go-To Desk Saver! 36 x 24 Dahle Cutting Mat
Say “yes” to a super-sized self-healing mat that does it all! This 36 x 24 Dahle cutting mat protects your work surface, makes clean-up a breeze, and provides plenty of room to create. A true essential at the heart of my craft room!
Erase It! A Must-Have for Adhesive Cleanup!
This little tool is a game changer! I always keep a rubber cement eraser close by to remove adhesive residue from cardstock, plastic, and other surfaces—especially after using Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Stampin’ Seal.
If you make handmade cards or work with layered adhesives, this handy little eraser is a must!
