Storage Box for 6 x 6″ DSP or Embossing Folders

Hi my Stampin’ Friends,

today’s video came about as so many of my subscribers requested that I make a video showing how I made the Storage Box that I showed last week during my video for the Clipboards with Handy Notebook and Pen.

So by popular demand here is the video. These storage boxes are an absolute genius for your craft room and now that I have made 5 of them they are proving to be so useful. Before I made these my 6 x 6″ DSP and my embossing folders were banished to a drawer and I always seemed to forget I had them. However, now they are on show on my crafting desk there for me to use whenever I want to make another project. Fantastic! I love them.

My inspiration for these came from Sam at Mixed Up Craft and you will find her video on YouTube should you wish to view it.

They look complicated to make but trust me once you have made one, you will definitely be excited to make another. Perhaps like me you will end up with 5 of them. In the attached video I am giving you a sneak peak of some gorgeous Stampin’ Up! Designer Papers that are available to purchase from the 4th June, which I have used to cover my Storage Box. Ooooh so lovely!!!

Thanks for watching the video and I certainly hope that you will be inspired. Please don’t forget to subscribe to my blog and YouTube channel under Sandra Ronald. Many thanks x

Should you need any Stampin’ Up! crafting supplies I would be extremely grateful if you could purchase from my Online Shop (located at the top right hand corner of this post, THE BIG RED BUTTON). Add my hostess code for the month of MAY and I will send you an extra little gift at the end of the month.

Happy Crafting WITH LOVE from SANDRA xx
