Tips and Tricks to Getting my Craft Desk Organized

Staying organized is key to a creative space.  If you cannot find the item you need to use, then it can make your creative process super hard and fluster your process.  So organization is key!!  Today I tackled my drawer on my desk - it is the junk drawer and the one that I spend way to much time hunting for things inside it.

This post also contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.  Various companies provided me with some product to create this project.  The opinions I share are solely my own.



Check out my video to see how I organized not only my drawer, but a second unit on my desk as well!!



So this is what my drawer looked like before I got after it.  It really became the catchall for all the crap on my desk, when cleaning of the surface it was the catch for all kinds of things.  So the first job was to clean out the items that did not belong, and to even purge the things that needed to be trashed.


Now it is time for my Deflecto caddy storage tray to help keep all my little bits from rolling all around the drawer, it really did the trick!  I had a second 2 drawer system from Deflecto that I had cleaned out and purged to it came to the rescue!! 


the top drawer has all my bits for my camera that I need, but do not use all the time, like the strap and extra batteries.


The bottom drawer has extra electronic items, such as external chargers, extra cables, earphone, and other bits.


With organizing these two spaces, I was able to de-clutter a really large area of my desk and clean up a few different spots and items that really did not have a home.  Not everything has it place!


How area of your craft space are you going to organize?

Partial Die Cut Two Fold Fun Fold Winter Snowmen Cards

Fun fold cards are a blast, and in this card I teach you how to blend a 2 fold fun fold card with a half die front fold for a cute winter snowman card!

This post also contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.  Various companies provided me with some product to create this project.  The opinions I share are solely my own.



See how to make these card in the video below!!



The key to these cards is the special die that cuts only half of the image out.  You can do the same thing on your own projects, just roll your image only half way through the die cut machine, or cut your dies in half.


To hold all the super cute papers and elements together I used my Xyron tape runner.  It is the perfect adhesive that is so easy to use and also super strong!!!



Now here is the best part, why it is a fun fold card!!!



Look how it it opens, so cool!!  The measurements are below.

Measurements Base - 4.25 x 8.5 - score at 5"
Inside card - 3.75 x 9.5 - score at 5 (extra will be cut off when you die cut half of the stamped image - final size 3.75 x 9
