From Craft Room to Simple Cart

Over the years my craft closets slowly grew! Shelves filled up, drawers multiplied, and before I knew it I had a room full of supplies. While it looked impressive, it also made creating feel more complicated than it should be.

Recently life shifted and my space became much smaller. At first I thought I wasn't able to craft without all the things. But what I discovered along the way was something unexpected — simplifying my supplies actually made creating more enjoyable again.

Instead of a full craft room, I now work from a simple three-tier supply cart with items I have picked carefully. Everything I need for my everyday cardmaking fits neatly into this small space, and it rolls easily wherever I want to create.

What I Keep in My Cart

The goal was to keep only the supplies I reach for most often.

Top Tier – Basic Tools

• My Stamps

• My embossing folders

• My favorite dies

Middle Tier – My Simple Sketch Card Kits

• Pre cut card bases

• pre cut pattern Paper

• Paper Trimmer

• Stampin' Scrub

• Adhesives

• I picked one ribbon and set of embellishments

Bottom Tier – Paper & Essentials

• Stampin’ Blends markers

• A small collection of coordinating cardstock

• My die-cutting machine

  
  

Why I Love This Setup

Working from this small cart has changed the way I create.

• I spend less time searching for supplies

• My workspace stays tidy

• I focus on using what I truly love

• Creating feels relaxed again

It also fits perfectly with my My Simple Sketch approach to cardmaking — simple layouts, simple supplies, and beautiful results.

Creativity Doesn’t Require a Huge Craft Room

For many years I believed I needed a large space filled with supplies in order to create. What I’ve learned is that creativity doesn’t depend on the size of your craft room — it comes from having the right tools within reach and the freedom to simply sit down and make something.

Sometimes less really is more.

And for me, this little three-tier cart has become the perfect creative home.
