My Inkin' Cute Craft Room Display Boards

My goal in my Inkin' Cute Craft Room is to have plenty of inspiration for me and my customers throughout the space. I love these boards because they allow me to showcase multiple cards. I love this shelf that I got at a big box store years ago. I originally purchased two of them, but one got damaged in the move (Pretend there are two of them). Each cubby hole has a basket or mini drawer that holds items that are smaller and are easy to lose track of.
The Memo boards were very simple to create:

I covered a piece of cardboard with very thin Quilting batting and the hot glued Stampin' Up!'s Flirtatious Fabric over it (the pieces weren't large enough to cover the space I wanted so I sewed two pieces together).

I laid the ribbon out the way I wanted it and the stuck brads through all of the layers. I used the piercing tool to put a hole in it before I put the brad in.

I glued the ends of the ribbon on the back and the put it in a frame!
This is a super inexpensive way to make your own board and make it the size you want!!!

My Inkin' Cute Craft Room Big shot/cutting area

This is probably the area in my Inkin' Cute Craft Room that I am the most excited about....and will take the most imagination on your part.... I am not done with it yet!

This is my Big Shot and Cutting Station.

I plan on having a desk custom built for the space so I can sit and prep for classes, cut with my paper trimmer and Big Shot things until my heart is content!!!.

The bars that I have my punches on will stay where they are, I love how well organized they are and right where I can just grab them.

Right above the punch racks we are going to put in some shelving that I can put my Big Shot die boxes on.
I got these pencil holders at a local dollar store and added my own little touch with some pieces I cut out with the Island Floral Big Shot Die. They already have holes in them, so it was very simple to attach the flowers to them with a rhinestone brad.

My Inkin' Cute craft room Shelves

Here we go...... My Inkin' Cute Craft Room is done!!!! I showed you the shelves after we got them in, but you have not seen what I put in and on them. So the next SEVERAL posts will show you my shelving, storage, decorating and much more. I hope you enjoy the tour.

This is the shelving unit as a whole. The two cupboard style ones were gifts to me after my hubby graduated with his masters... a reward for supporting him through the long schooling process. Anyone who has been a student wife knows it is not an easy accomplishment!!! The open shelves were sort of inherited with the house we just moved into...... I can't believe how well they work with the ones I already had. I seriously think they look like a matching set.

I use the far left one for all of my clear stamp storage. I love how compact the cases are and how easy it is to store. I also have the bags that I pack for workshops stored on the bottom two shelves.
Inside the cupboards are not so pretty....just a heads up, that's what doors are for right? I have a basket with my adhesives and all of the stampin' wheels and handles on the top shelf. The other shelves have prospective projects..... wreaths, books to cover, baby food jars etc....
On the center portion of my shelving I have my accessory caddies on top. On the shelf just below I keep my sponges and sponge daubers in the little pink drawers. In the pink basket I have my accessories that don't have containers to fit in the accessory caddy.

Somehow I lost my ribbon holders in the move, so they are just lined up on the shelf.

Last I have my ink pad holders

We are now on to the other cupboards. Once again..... I love that they close.

The top two are project that I am in the process of working on or are waiting to go to a great hostess!

Under those I have all of my sewing things....Material, needles, sewing machine etc. I love having an actual place to store my sewing machine. In my apartment it sat on my craft table and found a temporary home in my bedroom when I had classes and workshops.
The last portion is my wood stamp sets. They are a bit more bulky, however I love the wood sets for the ones my kids stamp with. They are always knocking the clear stamps off the blocks!
On top of my shelving I store all of my cards I have made, and my card swaps from demonstrator events. I love having a stockpile of cards to choose from when I am in need of that perfect card.

My Inkin' Cute Craft Room Display Hutch

My sweet friend Liz was redecorating her living room and asked if I wanted this china cabinet. I of course said YES!!! It was a dark brown when I got it, so we put a coat of white paint on it and antiqued it a bit. I am happy with the way it turned out.

I had been looking for something for a while to display some projects that I had created or received from other very talented demos.
I don't change the displays out as often as I should, but I love the creative flare it adds to the whole room.
