Cricut Cartridge Storage

Next Storage Topic: Cricut Storage (Cartridges, Overlays, Books, and Accessories)

I use the cartridge storage from Scrapcessories (but I've pretty much maxed that option so I may be switching it up soon). The instructions say to put up to 16 cartridges (2 of the 8 cartridge holders) in the container but I've made it so I can fit 4 of the cartridge holders, providing me one container with 32 cartridges!

For the keypad overlays and books I use the Snapware Snap'N Stack Ribbon Dispenser found on Amazon.

I purchased two of these units and separated them so the 2 large compartments were together with one handle and the 2 smaller ones were together with another handle. I use the set with the large compartments to house the keypad overlays and books, while the smaller compartment set holds all of the Cricut accessories (markers, tool kit, extra blades, etc.).

Since I have a Gypsy, I really don't travel with my cartridges, keypad overlays, or manuals so these solutions work great for me at home in case I want to cut something real quick without having to load up the Gypsy. I'm also in the process of printing all of the manuals from the computer and creating a binder so I have full-color manuals to use with my Gypsy when I'm at a Crop or other craft event.

How do you store your cartridges and Cricut supplies?

Until next time!

Ribbon Storage

Lately I've been re-organizing my craft space, although it seemed pretty organized to begin with, and I thought I'd share some more of my storage solutions. Starting with my Ribbon. I originally had all of my ribbon stored in a drawer on the little cards but hated that my ribbon had weird creases and such everytime I went to use it so I searched for a new Ribbon Storage Solution and came across Ribbon Ring. I'm still thinking of a better place to hang these but I love the bursts of color it gives my white walled craft room (one day I'll paint the walls).

See for yourself!

You can find out more about the Ribbon Ring Storage Solution by visiting Ribbon Ring.

Note: above is how I store my loose ribbon, I have my Bo Bunny Ribbon and Close to My Heart Ribbon stored in their original packaging. I also have spools of ribbon stored on a wall hung ribbon storage shelf.

How do you store your ribbon?

Until next time!
