The Best Ikea Kallax Hack with Helpful Cardstock Storage 

That paper storage is great but those inserts are $100! That's insane!

The organization is absolutely aesthetically pleasing & functional! 😍 & you explain it so thoroughly & in a straight forward fashion, so thank you for that! 🤗

I am so thankful you are doing this. My husband just built me a crafting she shed and I needed to know what to do for organization. This is perfect! Thank you!

Thank you Lisa for showing your paper organization. I love it!

Awww...love Ikea! Your paper storage is lovely & I do like the way You have stored Your scraps as well! Thank You for sharing & God bless! Happy Crafting!!!

Great job Lisa, Looks fantastic!!! Kudos to Bob as well.

Awesome! I love Stamp-n-Storage, too! Thank you, Lisa 🦋🌴🌸

I think I have just found my dream set up! How beautiful that is to my mind!

Thanks Lisa, very helpful. Just now getting around to attempting to get my papers better organized, and this will really help. Thanks for all of your tips and tricks. Looks like I'll need to pick up some of the PVC pipe and get hubby involved. Thanks again! Really enjoy all of your videos.

I love, love this. Some guy here on YT shows how to do these dividers, route the side so they can slip in.the Kallax unit... way too much work. This is so much easier and looks so much nicer. If your video had been made in 2015 I could have kept all my scrapbook papers when we downsized! Now, I only have basic cardstock and buy designer papers only as needed. Thank you, thank you.

Thank you Lisa for these fantastic suggestions for storing scrap pieces of card stock. ~Barbara

Wonderful ideas. Most of my stuff is in boxes! I am in chaos 😂. Thank you so much for the links.

Wow , exactly what I needed to see! Have my 4 x 4 kallax installed with an extra just like you did, bolted to the wall and supported for all that weight of the paper. My unit it on a platform, which looks so pretty. Your wall is beautiful 😅😊 the additional inserts from ikea have my attention! Thank you!

I love the paper storage idea.

Exactly the information that I was looking for. Thank you.

TFS Lisa! I LOVE seeing your room @ the beginning of each video! Hugs for now my crafty Sister XOXOXO

Incredibly helpful. Seeing that your units are sturdy and flush to the wall and don't seem to be bowing anywhere gives me relief. I need one shelving units to store all my stamps and dies and another to store my papers. It seems it can store that weight very well without difficulty and safely.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Love the IKEA hacks!

Your craft room looks so pretty!! What a beautiful place to work.

Thanks Lisa! Great tips!

Looks great! I have those units too and really like them. Thanks for sharing your tips.

I just organized my paper with your help, very helpful

I have been wanting to re-organize my craft room. I just ordered 4 12 x 12 Paper Holders by Stamp N Storage for the Ikea Storage Unit. Once I get these I will then go to our Ikea store and get the Ikea Kallax Shelf Unit's. Thank you for this video.

$85 for one cube insert?? Love the idea, but that’s an outrageous price! Surely they can’t be that hard to build. It’s beautiful though! Great ideas on the scrap paper too!

Hi Lisa, thank you for this idea. I printed off the All Time Stampin Up color order. My OCD really loves the cardstock order and storage.

I think this is a beautiful way to store papers! I enjoy scrapbooking, journaling and using planners. I organize in a similar way, but recently I learned about “organizing styles” that really helped me appreciate everyone’s unique styles! Over the years I just bought a little at a time, just to have a basic form of organization. Now we’re finally ready to save for what works best for me. I learned from Clutterbug- RU-vid that there are important questions to recognize that help one discover one’s organization style. Two questions are: 1. Do you prefer to see everything you have in an appealing way, or do you prefer to have it hidden in a drawer or behind a door? I’m a drawer person. 2. Are you a Macro organizer or Micro-organizer? An example of this with silverware 🍴for a Macro organizer is to put all of it (spoons, forks and knives) all in one space. A person that prefers to Micro- organization will prefer an organizer to separate each. Everyone started with Macro-organization as a child, but “grew into” their preferred style. It also may change from space to space. A Macro-organizer is more willing to look through a zone for what they need. A Micro-organizer feels more peaceful having organized zones broken down to more specific organization containers. They’re more willing to take the time ahead of time to organize everything and then find everything very easily. They can get to what they recant to do more quickly in the long run. They put “time and effort in first and enjoy easily finding everything later. It’s worth the time, costs and effort to them. I’m a micro-organizer. I love how beautiful the display is❣️ I ended up over the years buying lots of IKEA cubes. I have binders for each category with LOTS of sheet protectors! I’m also visual. When I can see what I have, that helps me use it, not want more and know what needs to go on the shopping 🛍 list. So I have a rainbow 🌈 if binders for solid papers. Then I have binders by category for over 25 topics. I keep in different sized sheet protectors and mini bags usually used for jewelry everything flat from card stock of many kinds, stickers, die cuts, frames, and definitely more. I’m enjoying the rewards now! My next goal is to get matching binders. I’ve slowly gathered what we could afford and find, so things are put away in binders, but the binders don’t match. I prefer using Avery Clearview 2” D-ring white binders. I love that I can be as creative as I want, when I want, but our family albums have a “enough of a unifying look 👀 that it’s appealing to the eye”. I also highly value “little fingers” that might be sticky or dirty being fine to browse through albums and supplies (to an extent). That’s why I choose binders. 2” D ring works well with “not too heavy” or “bulky”. It’s “just right”, in my opinion. Anyways, thanks for letting me share my unique way of doing things too. I love your organization and how beautiful it is. Those dividers work very well too. That was very helpful of your husband to make the pvc inserts for smaller papers ❣️ Thanks for your input and ideas!

Oh Lisa.... That looks so nice...

Love it, can not wait until I start mine.

Nicely organised!

Thank you for sharing, I love the paper storage, I initially thought it was dowel rods but looked again and saw those 👌I've never been to IKEA, but there are a lot of thing's I've been wanting storage wise and IKEA keeps popping up, so I shall go and have a look, Your craft room is beautiful 💖

Excellent......I love watching organization videos....... You have a very nice area😁

You have a lovely room Lisa! 😊

Best use of paper storage!!

Great job!

Love you storage for card stock.

My paper storage is a lot like yours with Ikea and Stamping storage. I don't have a lot of 12 x 12 papers but the 8 1/2 x 11 is in 2 x 3 cubes. Will check out your color list. My organization of colors is sorta kinda, i.e., chaos.

I dont have the inserts or the IKEA units (wish I did!) but started storing my paper vertically a few years ago. Better accessibility and I never have a problem with warping.

Really useful thank you xxx

Thanx. I finally found this😉

Lovely storage, I use the file insert for the storage of my punches. It holds a lot and I can just pull the drawer out to see which one I want.

Great video, thank you so much for sharing! I’d love to know where u got the self adhesive post it note labels.😊💗👍🏼

Thanks for sharing 😊

I love your organization videos! I am getting a craft cabinet soon and will use some of your tips to organize my space. I was wondering if you have a rainbow order list including the new 2019-2021 In Colors?

Brilliant

Hi Lisa. Great way to store paper! Any plans too do a new colour chart for the new colours?

Your paper storage looks fantastic. I love the idea of using the 12x12 units to hold all of the sizes of card stock. I am curious though, do they fade at all since they are near the window? Where in Florida are you? I’m in central, right outside of Orlando.

Lisa, you're awesome and such an inspiration. I am starting from scratch in my craft room and I am frantic due to all the things I have accumulated. It's very overwhelming. But I will get there soon. Thanks so much for your videos.

I love those inserts and the PVC pipe solution. Oh heck, I love your paper storage! So, do you keep all the colors stampin has ever come up with or do you purge each year?

I went to the bottom but did not see any links. I love your organized scrap room. I am very interested in your paper storage's, could you send a link to those. I suffer with bowed paper. I enjoyed your videos. Thanks for sharing.

When you buy from stamp n storage you earn points and they just had a sale for 15% off plus free shipping, the points add up quickly and bring the high price point down, it at least helps a lot to make them affordable. I buy one piece at a time when possible.

Lisa, I’ve been admiring your paper storage since first I found you. Where did you say you got the holders for the card stock ?

Hi Lisa. Love your paper storage. I’ve looked at the IKEA catalog and cannot find the vertical dividers. We live about an hour away from a store and would love to check them out. Did you find them in the catalog or in the store? Thanks for sharing. Love your vids. Shirley

Hello, have you did an update to the rainbow cardstock list

LOVE this! Thank you for the information. One question: I noticed you store your paper vertically, standing up. Can these storage containers fit in the Ikea cube units when placed horizontally?

Do the edges of the coloured card stock not fade?

I would like information on the inserts please

Can you give the link for the cube Inserts for paper please

How do you protect your paper from fading ?

Hi Lisa, do you have a printer in your craft room? If so, where is it?

Are the ikea cube backed cause I want a wood back so no sun damage

Where did you put Calypso Coral? It’s missing from your Rainbow Cardstock Order? Anyway you can tell us your Ink Pad Order? Thanks

Those ikea units say each shelf has a 29 lb limit, those wooden stamp n storage units aren’t light weight without counting all the paper. I’d be afraid that’s to much weight. I Love the way it looks though. Just afraid of it breaking. Thanks For Your Color Rainbow List, Appreciate It So Much.

Everything looks beautiful. I need paper storage and this looks perfect. Am I correct that each of the 12 x 12 paper holders is $85

Um looked bowed to me! Papers are best flat for long term use, I like to use a chipboard cover as the little weight keeps them really flat.

Gorgeous 👧🏻

Instead of the names in the scrap divider tab, just put a scrap off the paper so you can see it right off ;)

Awesome..I need a husband

EXACTLY what i need. Checked website. €75,83 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA !!!! ARE THEY NUTS !?!?!? That is RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE for what it is. I'd make my own for that and could make a whole bunch of them. Didn't even check for shipping cost. Yeah, i could even buy a bunch of 4 slots from IKEA themselves.

I was so excited when I started watching this video...especially when you mentioned the cost effectiveness of buying from Ikea. Then you mentioned the Stamp and Storage System. This is disproportionately expensive for what you are getting. I should have known you were showing the video just to promote this overpriced system

Good grief, who can afford to pay $85-$94 for inserts??? I got a set of 10 similar-looking plastic inserts for $3 at a garage sale that fit in one of the 20 cubes I got at another sale for $5 ea (many with drawers, others with wood dividers for paper). I've watched other craft-room videos where crafters complained that storing paper vertically puts bends in them. Can the extortionately-priced inserts be used horizontally?

The Stamp N Storage inserts are way too expensive at $100 per eat. There must be something less expensive. Those of us on limited budgets like me as I am retired need to be able to afford our organizational products.

Just one organizer costs more than the actual Kallax unit. I’ll pass.
