Happy New Year!! Hello crafters, it’s Shari Carroll here with you! I have a new edition of our popular Did You Know series today! To kick off a new year, it’s all about organizing and cleaning!

Where I live, it’s cold outside and I certainly don’t want to go out there. This is a perfect time for me to take advantage of some of the amazing storage solutions from Simon Says Stamp.

I have a few tips to help you pull your supplies together with ways to store them.

7.25 x 9.5″ CLEAR STORAGE ENVELOPES

These large clear envelopes are super handy to store your Tim Holtz cling stamps and Simon Says Stamp coordinating dies together. They have a handy latch to keep any loose pieces from getting lost.

Another great use for these is to store your oversized Simon Says Stamp Nested dies. In 2025, we came out with a variety of shapes and sizes of to suit all your needs.

Tip: Use these envelopes to store your larger packages of Tim Holtz ephemera!

6.75 x 6.75″ CLEAR STORAGE SLEEVES

I love our monthly card kits especially with all the beautiful 6×6″ printed papers that come with them. I find that the 6.75×6.75″ Clear Storage sleeves are perfect for organizing my loose papers. There is a fold over flap at the top that you can tuck in to protect your papers from dust. They are crystal clear and show off all the beautiful colors of your papers.

Tips: These are also great for 6×6 stencils and cling stamps.

A2 CLEAR STORAGE POCKETS

These are my go to storage sleeves for card fronts, sentiment strips, and now our EZ strips and dies. Once you’ve cut your EZ strips, there are a lot of tiny messages. The half-moon closure at the top will help to keep them sealed all together. The convenient A2 size is essential for card makers!

TIP: You can also use these for larger cover plate dies.

9.5×12″ SLEEVES

These heavy duty 9.5×12″ sleeves can hold about 20 sheets of heavyweight cardstock. They can be used with vertical or horizontal shelving storage without warping your papers. We were very specific to have the corners rounded so there are no sharp edges. I love them for the protection of my papers as well as keeping my colors together.

Tip: store your scraps and full sheets together in one sleeve.

I hope these tips have helped you learn a few tricks for your organizing… Thanks for tuning in today and spending some time with me!
