Did You Know? Stellar Products for Organization!
Hello crafters, it’s Shari Carroll here with you! I have a new edition of our popular Did You Know series today!
If it’s your first time seeing this feature, each month, we bring you fun facts, creative tips, and even crafty hacks about your favorite supplies and brands; you can then use these awesome tips that you learn in your next crafting projects! Are you ready to learn some fun tricks? Keep on reading!
PAWSITIVELY EVERYTHING 9.5×12 SLEEVES FOR YOUR CRAFT TACKY MATS
Did you know that you can store your Craft Tacky Mats in our Pawsitively Everything cardstock sleeves? These sleeves are sturdy and can be simply modified into a folder. I like to cut the right side to create an opening to place my mat inside. The back (inside) of the sleeve has a matte finish which makes it easy to place and remove them.
Tip: Place the transparent grid or clear sheet onto the front of your mat before storing.
PAWSITIVELY EVERYTHING HALF SHEET and PAWSITIVELY EVERYTHING CLEAR POCKETS
We have been producing more and more embossing folders that have coordinating dies. I usually don’t keep my original packaging and have tried to stick my die to the outside of the folder to keep them together, but it never fails that they get separated. I found that putting them together in a Half Sheet sleeve is a quick and easy solution. I love the smaller Clear Pockets which are perfect for my dies with their secure fold over flap.
To keep your folders with dies together in one place, THIS acrylic crate is a great option.
PAWSITIVELY EVERYTHING STORAGE BOXES
Have you been collecting the Tim Holtz Spritzes? I found they fit nicely into our Pawsitively Everything Storage Box. Each box can hold 8 spray bottles which is a manageable number when working on your projects. They can also lay on their side to help keep the mica spread throughout the length of the bottle. These are also easy to see what colors is in each box which is handy in a pinch!
Oh boy, small items can be hard to organize. I found this packet organizer fits so many different things that I use on a daily basis. It’s a stackable drawers system where the bottom of one fits right into the top of another. I was thrilled to find how well my re-inkers fit in each section. I have them stacked on a shelf and love that I can see thru the drawers and I have quick access to what I need.
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!

Modern and Graphic Graduation Card: 2 Ways
My oldest daughter graduated from college with a Master’s Degree in Graphic Design this month, so when I saw the amazing new Grad Basics set, I couldn’t wait to break it out and create a card for her! Because of her degree choice, I wanted to make something with a nod to that, so I opted for a modern and graphic card design. I love the results!
I started off by die cutting a circle from a panel of white cardstock using one of the mid sized Basic Shapes Circles dies. I used this as a stencil, and ink blended overlapping circles on a panel of white cardstock. I used Butter and Cheeky for one, and Surf and Sprout for the other. Then, I stamped my sentiments in the center of those panels. Next, I stamped all 3 sizes of the tiny grad hats several times, die cut them out, and popped them up with foam adhesive around it.
I trimmed the panel down slightly on the bottom, and added a little strip of white cardstock die cut with one of the two smallest Scallop Stitches die, then added a strip of coordinating Gina K cardstock to my cardbases at the bottom in Sunkissed Coral and Emerald Coast. I adhered those panels to my cardbases, using sturdy adhesive at the top, and popping one foam strip along the bottom to add a touch of dimension there.
Finally, I rounded off one corner of the cards, and embellished with coordinating Dazzling Gems in Surf, Sprout, Butter, Bubblegum, and Clear! I love how the sparkle sets of the designs!
I love giving graduation cards – it’s so great to acknowledge all the hard work that they have put in, and celebrate their accomplishment! Do you have a graduate this year that you need to create a card for?
