I wanted something that was easy to access for current Stampin' Write Markers that would store my retired Stampin' Write Markers and other coloring tools as well as be more durable.
I really like the Storage by Stampin' Up! customizable units. The ink pad and marker combo trays are fabulous! However, I organize my crafting supplies by type. I have stations and areas for die cutting, stamping, cardstock, coloring tools, etc in different parts of my craft room.
So, the next place I thought of was Stamp-n-Storage! They have quality, hand crafted organizational units for papercrafters of all types!
I really liked the Side by Side Marker unit, but didn't want ALL of my Stampin' Write Markers on display. I set to work making modifications. I drew a line version on my computer of what I was thinking of. I modified the original Side by Side Marker unit by widening it and changing 8 of the rows into 2 removable drawers. Widening the unit made it possible to store some of my markers in drawers instead of in rows without making the unit too deep to access the markers that I did want to display.
I sent my line drawing and request to Brett, one of the owners of Stamp-n-Storage, inquiring if these modifications were possible.
I am a big fan of Stamp-n-Storage! I love my Color Collection Ink Pad Holder and Stampin' Blend Units! They have made working in my craft room more efficient, tidier, and prettier! So, you can imagine how overjoyed I was when Brett said yes to my custom request!
I was overjoyed even more when my package arrived! Seeing my modifications come to life and knowing that someone made this with their hands was just amazing!
The top drawer holds my retired Stampin' Write Markers. This drawer can hold up to 54 Stampin' Write Markers! Wow! I sure tested it! It can also hold ink refills, Stampin' Blends, smaller ribbon spools, washi tape, and more!
The bottom drawer holds my spritzers and my Aquapainters. Because I hold a lot of classes, I have multiple packs of Aquapainters. You can never have too many spritzers either! Once you fill one with ink refill or shimmer paint, you need another one to fill with water!
I like that these drawers are removable and wide enough to hold a variety of stamping supplies, so that as my needs change, this side by side marker unit can grow with me.
Here is how I filled the bottom portion of my customer Side by Side Marker unit. Starting with the first row and going down, I placed
- the Brights Collection Stampin' Write Markers and chalk markers,
- the Subtles Collection Stampin' Write Markers and retired metallic markers,
- the Regals Collection Stampin' Write Markers and journaling pens,
- the Neutrals Collection Stampin' Write Markers,
- the 2019-2021 In Colors Collection Stampin' Write Markers and the 2018-2020 In Colors Collection Stampin' Write Markers,
- Basic Black Stampin' Write Markers,
- and the Blender Pens.
There even is an empty row at the bottom of the unit for any duplicate current markers or future purchases!
I cannot say enough good things about Stamp-n-Storage! I am so thankful to Stamp-n-Storage for customizing their Side by Side Marker unit for me! I have been working hard reorganizing my craft room lately and plan on purchasing a few more Stamp-n-Storage pieces!
You can see the original Side by Side Marker unit and all of Stamp-n-Storage's products in their online store. Check what else they have to help you organize your craft room!
