Halloween Haunted House

 

Halloween Haunted House Easel Card and Die Storage.

We love this adorable Haunted House created by Design Team Member Nadine Carlier.  

If you're a card maker like Nadine, chances are you have a collection of thin metal dies.  

To create the card, all the pieces of the Haunted House are die-cut using the thin metal dies and put together using adhesive.   

Featured Storage:  Deflecto Open Stackable Cube Organizer 

For her die storage, Nadine uses the Deflecto Stackable Cube Organizer to hold all her die sets upright. The organizer makes it easy to find the exact dies she needs.

There are several different styles of Cube Organizers.  A great way to customize the perfect storage.

The cube fits neatly on a shelf and makes finding the right dies at your fingertips.  

Keep your workspace clutter-free and your supplies close at hand.

Thank A Nurse Card

Card Designed By Nadine Carlier

Nurses do a lot and put up with a lot and don't always get the Thanks they deserve.

So if you get a chance, don't forget to Thank a Nurse.

Featured Storage:  Deflecto Stackable Cube Organizer

This is how Design Team Member Nadine Carlier uses hers...

"I do a lot of ink blending and have a lot of different ink blending tools.  Some of them are small and hard to keep organized. I started using the Deflecto Stackable Cube with 2 Drawers and also with 4 Drawers. Because I have so many sponge daubers, I took one of the bigger drawers from the Deflecto 2 Drawer Cube and exchanged it with 2 of the smaller drawers from the Deflecto 4 Drawer Cube to fit all the daubers in and so that all of my ink blenders are all in the same cube."

There are several different styles of Deflecto Stackable Cube Organizers that lets you 

create custom storage.  Keeps your workspace clutter-free and supplies close at hand.

Family Puzzle Time

Need a Family Boredom Buster?

Puzzles are a great way to help entertain those bored kids that are stuck at home right now and a great thing to do as a family.

When design team member Nadine's family works on puzzles they start by sorting all the pieces by color.  Nadine likes to use the Deflecto Interlocking Craft Tilt Bins to keep all the pieces in.  

Each bin is removable to so each person doing the puzzle can have their own bin of pieces to work with and can be brought to their corner of the puzzle.

Let's Monkey Around - Valentine's Card

Let's Monkey Around.

We love this adorable and sassy, masculine Valentine's Day card from Design Team member Nadine Carlier.  Nadine used several stamps from Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps to make this card. She stamped the monkey and words with Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black and then colored the image with Copic markers.  

Nadine is a card maker and rubber stamper with a large collection of stamps. She found that Deflecto's 3-drawer organizers are a great way to store her red rubber stamps.

The 3-drawer organizers are available in large or small.

Nadine found that the smaller organizer with dividers in the drawers is handy when she's separating her stamps by themes.  Look at how many stamps she can fit into one organizer. The larger 3-drawer organizer is great for larger items and is perfect for storing 12" x 12" paper.

An Organizing Solution for the Junk Drawer

We all hate the dreaded junk drawer, but most of us have them. Junk drawers are the family dumping ground for anything you don't know what to do with. They hold things like pet toys, rubber bands, and other miscellaneous items. The worst part you can never find what you are looking for!   

Do you have a junk drawer that needs organizing?  

Design team member, Nadine Carlier had one of those drawers and decided to do something about it. She used Deflecto's Carousel Rotating Organizer as the perfect solution for cleaning out her junk drawer. Since the carousel rotates, she moved it into the pantry and can move it around to find the bin she needs. As a bonus, she says "I can now use that drawer in my kitchen for kitchen things." The bins are clear making it easy to see what is in each one.

Each bin is a clear canister and has a snap-tight lid that can be easily removed to get what you need.

Organizing your Embellishments

Looking for a great way to organize your embellishments?

Design Team Member, Nadine Carlier used the Deflecto Rotating Carousel Organizer to organize her large collection of artificial flowers and leaves. This is visually appealing and really helpful in finding what you're looking for.



Nadine says the Deflecto Rotating Carousel was the answer to all her flower and leaf organization issues. She organizes her flowers by color and takes only the bins that she needs to her workspace instead of having all her flowers on her desk taking up much needed space to craft. The Rotating Carousel comes with 9 bins, three large bins, and 6 small-bins which are great for organizing items all around the house.
