Couture Creations | C’est la Vie | Storage Solutions

Hi Everyone, and welcome to my post today which includes some storage solutions that will help to keep your favourite Couture Creations product collections neat and accessible.  I am sharing my C’est la Vie storage which I have embellished to match the collections beautiful tones, delicate cutting dies and botanical theme.

I love the versatility of the Couture Creations Stackable Storage Boxes, and the fact that they are 12″x13″ is even better because the papers with an information strip fit perfectly with a little wiggle room.  They are also deep enough to carry a considerable quantity and variety of product and unfinished projects.

To store small embellishments, ephemera and diecuts – including those I have made myself with a collection – I use the good old take-out container.  These handy little containers fit inside the Stackable Storage Boxes, even with a whole lot of papers, embossing folders, stamps, chipboard and other bits and pieces.  The other key item to my collection storage system is empty DVD Cases in which I keep the matching cutting dies.  *I add tiny strip of double sided tape for excessively small cutting die pieces – like the flowers in the Rosy Frame Tag Cutting Die Set from the Cést la Vie collection*

The best part of this storage system is that I can just pop the DVD Case and take-out container into the relevant Stackable Storage Box and off I go to a crop with everything I need to create coordinationg projects including papers, stamps, embossing folders, cutting dies, embellishments, scraps and chipboard.

I do keep coordinating chipboard in a separate clip-seal bag inside the Stackable Storage Box as it tends to be super delicate and can sometimes mark other items – like the last sheet of a favourite paper.  

It is all well and good to be storing products together, but the real secret to my system is the creative/decorative aspect.  I like to use the products from the collection to help identify the collection – including the lovely labels on the packaging.  Printed designs on packaging are really sturdy, making them perfect for the base of the design blocks I put on the take-out containers and Stackable Storage Boxes.

Well that is it for me today, except to share the list of supplies I have used to embellish my Cést La Vie Storage – the most important item being the Embossing, Foil & Glitter tape which is the only thing that will stick to the plastic containers in the long-term.
