Organization for the 2026 May Mini Catalog, Blends & More

I’m sharing some of my organizational items with you today that I use in my own crafting space. Some of these I’ve been sharing with you for years with each new Annual Catalog that contain our NEW In Colors.

These are things that I find helpful to get my colors organized quickly and easily. So first my labels – I use these for all kinds of things in my space in addition to swatches.

I add them to my hanging file folders that hold each of my card stock colors.

I also use these labels on the storage units. The piece of card stock and label make it so simple for identification on what hasn’t been put back in it’s place when I’m done creating!

I find this works well for me since we first introduced this storage. And I add a 1/2″ strip of card stock for each of the Blends slots, this is a great visual to see what’s not in it’s place too!

I use them on my swatches and color combo cards also.

Our color coach changes with each annual release of our In Colors. I love adding this printed color combos to the back of a piece of card stock with the label on the front for identification. This makes seeing the color with the Designer Series Paper so simple and keeps it at my finger tips.

The 2×3 swatches I carry with me when shopping for color coordinating for projects I’m going to make. It’s a great way to check if the goodies I find work for me.

Speaking of identification – my Stampin’ Blends get this little label for easy identification.

And a punch make these circles easy to punch out – I simply add a glue dot and attach them to each end of the Blends.

Simply print it on Basic White Card stock and punch! Don’t forget to check out page two if you have older blends as I added them since I’ve been doing this for you too.

And finally a little inventory chart I keep so that I know what I have and what I don’t have.

Want a quick visual of each color? A circle punch makes placing a bit of each color at the top of the color quick and easy as you add them to your collection. I print this onto a piece of Basic White Card stock to make it a bit more sturdy. (This is last years, but I’ve updated the inventory chart for you below.) They are great if you are ordering at classes or on the go.

If you love this kind of thing you can look for past Organizational items by searching or going to the category – I’ve posted these annually and when we have a color refresh as you can see.

Enjoy! For me this organization is part of the fun of a new catalog. I can’t be the only one, can I?

Here’s My 2024 Annual Catalog Basic Organizational Items

Today I’ve got some wonderful items to help make organizing your craft space easier for you while you’re waiting for those fun new colors and products to arrive. These are items I’ve been using for years and find them really helpful when I’m crafting.

Be sure to add some of our Standard Stamp Cases so that you’re ready to organize your Dies too. I’ll be sharing those PDFs tomorrow.

I’ve done this with each NEW Annual Catalog launch for years (you can find past items by looking under the organization category) and I hope you’ll find them useful too.

First, I’ve created a quick reference for the Designer Series Paper. I like this chart and keep it handy when I’m looking for the colors in the Designer Series Paper. Everything you need is on this one easy chart.

Want a quick way to know what colors you have on the go? I love this purse sized inventory list for keeping my items handy, so I’m sharing it with you. It’s got all of our color families even the two In Color Families. Simply print, score, then fold to create a tri-fold reference chart that you can tuck in your purse. And if you’d like a visual of the color, add a small circle of the card stock for those that you have like I did here with a half inch circle punch above the name. Here is a photo of last years so you can see what I mean with the circles.

Tip: Make sure when you are printing this chart to turn the second side so that it prints upside down. That way both sides will be in the same direction when using.

LabelsLabels, Labels – I love labels and these make things so easy. I like to have everything consistent so with the NEW 2024 Annual Catalog. I have created new labels for my hanging file folders, Refill drawers, daubers, and the bottoms of my Classic Ink Pads.
