Stampin Blends Storage
Want an easy idea for Stampin Blends storage?
What Didn't Work For Me, Yet I Tried 🙂
- Went to a craft store and looked at all different containers and storage options. Spent $25 on a system, got it home and it was HUGE! Stamping space is such valuable real estate, I didn't want to lose space to storage! Storage should clear up space right?
- Bought mason jars. Why? I love them. Even the wide mouth ones didn't hold that many – needed a lot of jars – ugh.. didn't work.
- Bought a silverware organizer to put in my drawer, they were really too shallow to hold many… and then my freaky self kicked in, I could. not. handle. having some markers facing one direction and some facing the other. (Please tell me I am not the only one!)
The struggle is real, and the solution is SO simple!
What Worked in Under 5 Minutes
Start with a Paper Pumpkin box. (and honestly, sometimes it is just the box and stamp set that I like to get – it is still a great deal even if you don't love the kits!)
Open up your box, all the flaps until it is flat:
Then re-assemble it with the brown side facing out:
Cut your patterned paper, you need just a little bit more than 1/2 of a sheet of 12″ x 12″ paper:
Add your markers:
Stick your patterned paper onto your box:
And now you have perfect Stampin Blends Storage!

This is how I store mine, it's fast, it's simple, it uses up extra patterned paper laying around – and it's just ideal for Stampin Blends storage. Are there other ways? Of course, but this was done and loaded with my Blends in under 5 minutes – that makes it a total win in my book!
What a great idea! It looks like they fit perfectly. So clever.
I agree that this is a great idea, and the pattern paper you chose is so cute! And, no, you’re not the only one to obsess over the direction the pens are facing! 🙂
Perfect solution! Thanks for sharing. Now off to find an empty paper pumpkin box!
Oh my gosh!!! Love the idea…especially since I just purchased the set of blends. Woo Hoo!! Thank you
Thank you! I love having the measurements for covering the PP boxes. I was just showing my friends at club last night about turning the box “inside-out”. Wish I’d had all your information at the time. Going right now to put my Blends markers into one of these boxes.
