Week 3: Summer Celebration Giveaways

Hey there, crafty friends! Happy Monday! I hope you all had a better weekend than I did, which shouldn’t be hard to accomplish considering I spent the weekend with a sick little Henry cleaning up lots of puke and poop (my apologies for the mental picture that likely elicited!). Poor guy was NOT feeling well. I think we’re on the upswing and just crossing my fingers that the rest of the family is spared from whatever *that* was! I’m popping in today with another fun giveaway as part weekly summer celebration giveaways! But first, I have last week’s winner to share with you! Last week’s giveaway included our Ooey Gooey Stamp & Die Combo plus two yummy s’mores kits – one for you and one to share with a friend. The lucky winner of the giveaway is…

  • Brittany

    I like to think I’m organized, or at least getting there. I’m better about organizing supplies than I am my finished projects!

  • Jackie Lemon

    Staying organized? HaHaHa! Every flat surface is buried with projects.

  • Amy McClintock

    I’ve been stamping a long time and have a system for a lot of things, but I’ve only been adding dies to my collection in about the last year. They seem to be multiplying! This looks like it would be a great way to organize them.

  • Wahnita Hammond

    For me that would be…….EVERYTHING! 🙂

  • Mary Holshouser

    I try to stay organized but it’s a losing battle.
    I have lots of paper – but I can never find the particular
    design I want when I want it. I have to thumb through
    stacks and hope that something will pop out. Usually
    I find something but I always know there is probably
    something even better hidden in the stacks.

  • Angie Kindig

    The hardest thing for me to keep organized is my card stock and scrapbook papers. I don’t have enough paper holders and sometimes it can pile up on the floor. It doesn’t stop me from making cards… I just step around it!

  • Laraine Randall

    My paper is the hardest for me! I have way to much but I can’t part with any!

  • Becca Yahrling

    My stamp sets! I have so many, all different sizes. It’s just impossible
    to keep them organized. Or would cost way more than I could afford.
    But the magnetic pads would be great for my die cuts, which are
    starting to get hard to organize.

  • Sue D

    Great organizational products. Paper pads are my most difficult item to organize.

  • Tosha

    The most difficult thing to keep organized…My Husband…oh you mean in the crafting world, that would have to be ribbon, braids and seam tape. It never stays on the roll, or on the cardboard once the wrap is removed. Hope Henry is on the mend.

  • Gina

    Difficult craft item to keep organized are all my writing utensils! With all the different items for different crafting I find it hard to keep everything separate yet together. Pens, markers, colored pencils, etc.

  • Mary Faith

    My biggest problem is how I store my stamps. Most are currently in a 12 x 12 Irish case. Space is an issue with me and trying to figure out what is going to work best for my crafting space.

  • Susan Weida

    My whole craft room! I get it cleaned up and what I think is organized and still can’t find what I need. Maybe a bigger space would help..

  • Linda Smith

    Myself. : – ) I easily get distracted, so I have a hard time staying on track. I’m trying to get my supplies organized and will start working on one type of supply, then get distracted and start in on something else. It’s taking a while, but I’m getting there bit by bit. : – )

  • Kirsty Vittetoe

    Embellishments!!! I can’t keep track of where I put them, how to group them, and if I don’t use a particular one for a while, I can’t remember where they are!

  • Janet Sisk

    I just moved 6 months ago and so my new craft room is still a work in progress. The movers couldn’t get all my filing cabinets up our narrow stairs so I lost a bunch of my storage. I improvised with old book shelves and such, but I still don’t have a handle on all my stuff. I also want to do a computer organizational tool for logging all my stamps, dies and kits. That will take years, I am afraid. Thanks for the coupon for storage items. I can probably use them. 😀

  • Liz Hahn

    (B) My Stamps. I have WAY too many. They used to at least be sorted by Manufacturer, but then a friend came & helped me work on my craft room, and they ended up being by size of package in boxes. I have to redo the sorting back to manufacturer. (Then I have to get them Inventoried on my Sort-able Excel spread sheet) But making cards come first (if I can find the stamps)

  • Anne Sturgeon

    My biggest problem is stamps. If I have the dies also I put them in the same package. But all come in varying sizes. I try to file by theme but they are so troublesome to find. Now I have clear refrigerator drawers, plus dividers for each theme. I’m not sure what the answer is but because of my limited space for storage (closet) I do struggle with it. Thanks for your video, I am going to watch again and study your solutions.

  • Jean marmo

    The most difficult supply to organize are my stamps and dies. What wonderful products.

  • Carol

    I have a million and one little embellishment (sequins, buttons, charms, trinkets, jewels, enamel dots, . . . ) that are stuffed in a drawer and hard to find when I need something specific.

  • Denise Hohrman

    I am SO excited about the magnetic and acrylic storage panels and boxes. Can’t wait to get some! The hardest part for me to organize is my craft room as a whole. I am blessed to have a separate crafty space but keeping it organized seems impossible. I have been working hard, for the last couple of weeks, to get it organized and this product will be perfect. Happy Stamping Everyone!

  • Beverly Perdue

    The hardest thing for me to keep organized is my craft table! It is always a mess and I have so many items on my desk — paper cutter, die cutting machine, Copics, Tool Basket, papers, and more. I’m trying to come up with a new system, but when you’re crafting and the creative juices are flowing, you have to just go with it! Thanks for all the great storage products! We need them!

  • Brian Poteraj

    I think that paper is hard to organize. It is hard to categorize some…

  • Sharon Gullikson

    My craft desk is the hardest thing to keep organized. I can clean it up, but 2 minutes later it is HORRIBLE, and then stays that way most of the time. I have partially finished projects all over it. 🙁

  • Sabrina Radican

    My embellishments is the hardest thing for me to keep organized!

  • Kay N.

    New stuff I haven’t used yet and don’t want to file away and the stuff I’m working on. There is so much of it that it gets unruly.

  • Arianna Barbara

    I’ve been living in a small apartment and my big problem is to keep organized my stamps and tools.
    Congrats to the winner!!!

  • Mary

    I did have a problem storing and organizing my stamps and dies until I started using TE storage panels and boxes. I can never have enough of the them. Now my issue is with my embellishments. I hope your baby boy feels all better today. Smile BIG! 🙂

    Mary from NH

  • Susan Lang

    Inks. I have to store them in a container that seals since I live in the desert and ink pads can dry out with time. Everyone’s craft space is different and it does take some clever thinking to come up with ideas for paper, dies and stamps particularly since we all could use a little more space!

  • Beth KS

    Paper! Especially scraps. They’re all in a basket and sometimes I just don’t feel like fishing through them to find a piece, so I end up cutting into a whole new sheet.

  • Deb W

    I have out grown my small craft room, I have tried storage in photo boxes, clear plastic boxes, baskets, and many other things but no real solution to the problem except to take over another room or move, just kidding. When working, the desk is the biggest problem, to be creative I have to take tons of things out, in sight, to get my best ideas. I think the die organization may be a good way to start putting the pieces together.

  • Janice

    Hands down it is paper, the product I use the most. I get it all in order, then pull sheets out to use, end up with half sheets and smaller scraps that live all over my cutting table. I swear they multiply overnight!

  • Linda Shirley

    Ribbon.
    Love the cartoon! It’s so me! I’ll go down to clean my desk and two hours later, I’ve nade 8 cards and a bigger mess. Oh happy day!

  • Karen K

    I have trouble organizing ribbon. (Of course I have way too much of it!) I’ve tried several types of ribbon organizers but can’t seem to make any of them work well for me. Do you sort by roll size, color, seasonal or pattern? I really like your new magnetic panels and can’t wait to try out a set! Thanks for an awesome giveaway!

  • Cynthia Cole

    The hardest thing for me to keep organized is my stamp and die sets.

  • Amy Cooley

    Stamps are the hardest for me to keep organized. I haven’t found a system that works for me yet.

  • Dee Earnshaw

    great giveaway!!!
    I hav trouble keeping my paper scraps in any order and end up throwing them into a big box!!

  • karen bull

    Paper scraps are the hardest thing for me to keep under control. I hate to throw them away, because I do go back and dig thru my bin looking for the perfect color. I just tend to keep too much.

  • Lorie R

    My dining room table where many of my crafting items are “temporarily” stored for projects 😉

  • Sherry Hall

    I’m disorganized in general, but my biggest problem lately is keeping my work space clear when I’m working on something. I tend to have several things out crowding me. I started using TE binder storage for my dies so that has helped with that particular issue – thank you!

  • Wendy Lambert

    My clear stamps sets are hard to organize in a useful way. I don’t have many but I still can’t remember what I have. I am always searching for a better way.

  • D.Ann C

    I need those boxes for my TE goodies, for sure! Paper scraps are the bane of my craftermath piles!!

  • Judy Kelly

    I love adding embellishments to my cards; sequins, enamel dots, gems, ribbon, and glitter, oh yes! But organizing and storing everything is not fun. My crafty place is in our wide open basement. So everything has to be secured in case the fur babies wander through.

  • Judith Strausbaugh

    My craft room is a sight and it’s so unorganized. I think I am out of room.

  • Joan

    My craft room is completely out of control! It gets used for crafting, present “stashing”, general office and many other activities. Trying to purge things is like giving away my first born child!

  • Leanne S

    I have a difficulty organizing my stamp collection which is not large but still in a mess.

  • Lynn Tague

    Definitely, solid and patterned paper scraps large enough for future use. Any clever suggestions?

  • Marie Kennedy

    Patterned paper. I never know whether to categorize it by color or by what the pattern is on the paper or brand

  • Carla Hundley

    My clear stamps. I
    have them in several
    boxes and buckets.
    Carla from Utah

  • Noreen

    All of my craft supplies. It’s much more fun to get them out and use them than it is to put them away. And I’m always thinking I want to go back and do some more with them, so leave them handy.

  • Debbie Rumpza

    I struggle keeping my dies organized! I have so many!

  • Charlotte Deerborn

    I have a hard time keeping my fabric/sewing organized because it plays second to my paper crafts and ends up stuffed in a box somewhere.

  • karenajo

    My desk top ( work space) is so hard to keep organized. I have filing and organization for many of my items, but when I am working on a project it seems that I have to pull out so many items that I soon have little space to work in. Thanks for these great giveaways!

  • Chris DuBois

    My craft room is a mess! I have too many projects I want to do and not enough time to do them all, so my husband says I have “junk” all over the house, not limited to my craft room.

  • Tammy Gullett

    My whole craft room!

  • Bev Karolak

    Definitely my dies, as some are so small! But in saying that, I think my whole crafting space too! Thanks for sharing your video and for the chance to win ????

  • Avra Williams

    Everything! I have way too much stuff, in way too small a space!

  • R. Hill

    Without a doubt, it’s my individual dies. Die sets are fine and I can always find what I’m looking for, but individual dies get lost in the shuffle and I end up spending more time looking for them and rearranging than actually using them!

  • LizD

    The hardest thing for me to organize is my paper. I haven’t found a good way to store it yet. I use a tub and the binders for stamps and dies but my paper collection is out of hand.

  • Susan Engblom

    It is hard for me to organize stickers which I use in scrapbooking and card making. They are in a rolling cart with drawers. I have made an attempt to sort them by theme, but not very satisfied with the result.

  • Margery C

    I’m having a hard time organizing my markers/pens. Some have to be horizontal and some can be standing up. I want them easily accessible but I would need a bigger desk. Oh, so many wonderful arts supplies so little desk space….

  • Dana M

    My mixed media products – bottles, jars, tubes. Chaos!

  • Terrie D.

    I have a hard time with organization for my supplies (stamps, dies, ink pads, etc.). I have a small space and I haven’t figured out the best way to store everything thing for easy access. It’s either hidden away and I don’t know what I have, or it’s all over my desk and I don’t have much room for crafting 🙂

  • Gloria

    I have a lot of stamp sets so I find it difficult to organize them, even though I try to put like with like. The main problem is that their are different components in each. So the contents vary. Help!

  • Denise Bryant

    All my craft supplies are a challenge for me to get organized! I need a bigger craft room! First thing I need to work on would be paper… then stamps! I have my dies pretty well organized already.

  • Pam S

    Mine is the different projects I have started but not finished yet. They are all over the house!

  • Phyllis A Freese

    I think the hardest thing for me to keep organized is my desk top. I try to clean it off after every project, but then when I move on to the next thing, everything comes out again and my desk is back to a small square of space to work.

  • Mindy Drummond

    Pretty cool on the binder boxes, those will definitely help me. However, what I have the most trouble keeping organized are ink pads…. SO many brands, types, colors – it’s mind boggling LOL.

  • Cheri Nugent

    Loved the video about storage boxes, stamp pages, magnet pages for dies and the fun covers and spine labels. I think I need to find a tub. I already have some colored cardstock laminated so I can make dividers! Thanks for sharing all of that today! AND, I sure hope Henry is much better by this evening! Poor little guy! (Poor Mom too!)

  • linda s

    my mobile craft cart is the most difficult thing for me to keep organized because i’m constantly taking items out of it to use and trying to find new ways to store the most frequently used items but i have too many favourites.

  • Kathy J in Ellicott City

    I have a hard time with my paper. I have a lot of it and like to buy paper, so I end up with a lot to organize.

  • KT Fit Kitty

    Oh Wow, what an awesome prize! I think the hardest thing for me to keep organized is my dies. I seem to have them all over the place. I really like your storage solution!

  • Martha Acord

    I have a hard time keeping my embellishments organized. I don’t know if they should be organized by type of some other way. Help!!
