Rubber stamping and handmade card ideas. CardMaker Blog. Happy Monday everyone! Kristie here to show you my crafty space. This is where I store all of my craft supplies. I often create my cards at my kitchen bar so that I can keep an eye on my boys while crafting. It’s amazing how much trouble 5- and 7-year-old boys can get into! I often can’t create in my craft room since my desk is usually covered in supplies. Consequently, I had to do some serious cleaning before taking these photos. This is the view from my doorway. Here’s a close-up photo of part of the shelf unit that is in the corner of the room. Near the window on the left side of the room I have my Expedit bookcase/desk. My cleaned-up desk is shown above. Above my desk on top of my Expedit, I store ink pads. Adjacent to my desk I have my work table where I can stand to work.

On the back side of my working table, I keep my 12×12 individual sheets of patterned paper. And lastly, next to my door I have my cardstock paper racks. I hope you’ve enjoyed the tour. -Kristie.
