My new cuttlebug storage using Cricut Everyday cartridge and From My Kitchen Cricut cartridges

Hello, my sweet blogging friends!

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.


To save on ink in my Imagine, I only cut the recipe cards at 4". I then added extra paper to the bottom(I used just plain white cardstock and my ATG gun) later to make the dividers the height I wanted. Laminating this with my Your Story increases the stability and will make it last much longer.
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!

    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.

    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.

    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)
