A few of you requested pictures of my new Cuttlebug storage and I was planning on showing some of it to you this week. However, since you guys asked I decided to show you the whole thing!
I have been on a craft room cleaning mission lately. My cuttlebug storage has bugged me for a long time now, so I needed to come up with something better. I bought some jet max cubes and noticed that the drawers would be perfect for storing both the folders and the plates.
To decorate the outside of my drawers I used my Imagine, printable vinyl, Lori's Garden Imagine cartridge, Cricut Everyday cricut cartridge(this cartridge is a Cricut circle exclusive), and the Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art cartridge(for the font).
Both cuttlebugs were cut using the Cricut Everyday cartridge. I cut the font using the Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art. |
I like the color palate that come with the Lori's Garden cartridge, so I chose it to color in the wording and pieces for the cuttlebug. |
This is just layered printable vinyl. It was super easy to do! |
Then by using the From My Kitchen cartridge and my Imagine I made the dividers out of the recipe cards on the cartridge. Then I used my Your Story to laminate it. This will make it last a lot longer and makes it much more substancial.
This green print is from the Lori's Garden Imagine cartridge. I just love it! |
Ok, that is it! Not a very hard thing to do, but just a little time consuming. These drawers are the perfect size for my folders though. I am so glad they were on sale a few weeks ago at Michael's!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! See you all back here tomorrow!!
Have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!

Looks Great!
Love it! I just went through organizing my room also. TFS!!
Love the decorations on your storage. Very cute! Organizing Rules!
I love this idea!! Now, if only I had my own room -- LOL!
Very nice idea! I will keep it in mind, if I get tired of storing the folders in three ring binders.
Ooh, great storage idea and I love the recipe card dividers! TFS
WOW! Nice organization. I always have trouble with my folders and plates. Wish I had your collection!
SOOO jealous, I need more space in my craft room. I suggested to my children that mommy could use their playroom as my craft room, but they shot me down:(
Wow, this is a fabulous idea! I love that you can use your Cricut for projects like this.
Great idea!
Great ideas, inspiring me to some avoided spring cleaning...
I love this!! You should show more ideas like this. I have a small craft room so I am always looking for ways to store everything neatly so I can but more!!
What a great idea! And how perfect that the drawers are just the right size! I love your cuts on the front of the drawers, too.
Great storage solution!!! My Cuttlebug supplies have been buggin' me for awhile now too & I need to get them organized. I tried the little blue folder but it's kind of a pain to access, etc & I swear that's why I don't use them very often.
OOPS!!!! I wanted to ask if you have any idea how many folders your cube will hold? Thanks!
Great idea! I have got to get that kitchen cart!
Awesome idea. I absolutely LOVE it. It is SO nice to have things neat and organized. Then they are easy to find when you need them. Hugs- Glora
This is fantastic!!! I don't have as many as you, but I have been looking for a storage solution for cuttlebug folders. Thanks for sharing!
WOW! Love your collection of folders! Great storage solution, wish I had that many to use your idea . . . but I might need it for my clear stamp collection that seems to be growing daily!
Seems like you can never have enough storage space! My husband got me a Workbox for Christmas, and I'm already running out of room for all the stuff I've bought over the last few months. I think I need to reorganize everything I put in it to make better use of the space. I love your idea for storing your CB folders/plates! Mine are just in a plastic crate, and I have to sort through the whole thing to find what I want.
Looks great. I love it when my tools are organized.
Great idea and it's pretty too!!
Now I want that, too! Great idea. Could you possibly share a photo of the whole unit? I can't quite see what is under the drawers. It looks like one whole unit.
Awesome Idea!
To be so organized.... I'm jealous! :) Thanks for letting me dream...
What a great idea Melanie! I don't own any jetmax... Maybe once I expand this room I might get some.... but I really like the drawer idea and the seperation of them.... right now most of mine are stored in a 3 ring binder.... in pockets I can get 4 on each side... That has worked so far... but I got a bunch more now that don't fit so maybe I need to get another 3 ring binder or come up with a different solution! :o)
What a fabulous idea for your cuttlebug tools! TFS
Awesome organization! I really need to do something like this. My scrapbook stuff got put in the dining room and it's a mess! LOL.
Fantastic idea! I love how you label everything. Wnderful!
Love what you did! I need to do that for my clear plastic drawers that house my bling, inks, stamps, etc.
Great solution....great cuts!

what a fantastic idea!! TFS!
Very cleaver! I love it!

I was wondering if the cube with 4 drawers would work for c folders. I love the cuttlebug cuts. I don't have access to those carts. I need to find a solution for the folders, also. Thanks for sharing.
Great way to organize your folders and dies. :)
Great storage idea! I love the dividers and how you decorated the outside of the cube drawers! Thanks for sharing.
Love the dividers - they are super cute!
I may have to steal that Idea LOL!

Love this storage solution! Organizing is right up my alley. :) Very good idea and cute too!

How perfect is that! Not only is it functional but it looks great! Thanks for sharing!
Pefect-a-mundo!
Nice idea. TFS

When can you come over and do mine?
So organized and neat! Right now, my embossing folders are in a plastic shoebox. I keep "collecting" more though, so I may have to think about a better system like this in the future! TFS!
Nice job at orginizing!

Great organization idea! Love the recipe card dividers. Where do you get jetmax cubes?
I wish I could be that organized. Thanks for sharing.
What a slick idea for storage. It is my constant struggle to keep things organized so I can find what I need when I need it.
Fabulous idea! TFS!
Great storage idea! Thanks for sharing.

looks great Mel Love your room anyway!
Wonderful storage ideas, thanks for sharing!
Love how organized that you are. I wish I had the room to do that. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas.
Your Locker layout is adorable. And the answer to why you're behind with your son's book is ~ you're a mom and as moms we are ALWAYS behind in something LOL - imagine how far behind you'd be without the Cricut - GO CRICUT!!!

Super Cute! I love the organizational stuff! Just wish I had room for one of these...
This is a wonderful solution. Great idea.
I your storage! I wish I had room for it. :( Great work!
I need to call around and see if my local Michael's carries JetMax. My friend in CA has gotten them and I've been so envious!
You've inspired me to try and find one, thank you!!!
Super Cute Idea
I love this so much I went out and bought the same cube. I am in the process of organizing my now. How do you store the very small either folders or ones that cut? Thanks www.thefruitofmyhands.blogspot.com
