Our Top 5 Recommended Paper Storage Solutions
If you enjoy scrapbooking or cardmaking you probably have stacks of paper and paper pads in your craft stash. With a range of colors and a variety of patterns, your paper collection can grow quickly. Trying to find the right paper sheet can be difficult when flipping through stacks or piles of unlabeled paper. Regardless if you have a large room dedicated to crafting or just a small closet, we’ve got storage solutions that are sure to help take your paper storage from an unorganized pile to a neatly sorted paper stash.
We love seeing our pretty paper displayed and ready to use. You can organize by color or pattern (or both). It can be so visibly appealing to see all your cardstock paper arranged in rainbow order. To have the most efficient and organized paper, first evaluate what you have.
Sort your patterned paper by theme and your cardstock by color. Don’t overthink it. The more complicated the system, the harder it will be to find the paper you want. Organize in a way that is intuitive to you and the way you craft.
Once you know what you have, you can decide on the storage solution that will best fit your needs. Below are our Top 5 Recommended Paper Storage Solutions.
1. Do you have an IKEA® Kallax Shelf Unit?
The IKEA® Kallax unit is a popular shelf among crafters. Its simplicity and streamlined structure make it easy to customize for whatever you need or want in a storage system. You can even choose between several different cube configurations. Stamp-n-Storage provides craft storage solutions that are designed to fit inside of the Kallax cubes. Our paper holders are a great option because they utilize the entire cube's space, while keeping your supplies visible and easy to access.
8.5x11 Max for IKEA
The 8.5x11 Max for IKEA® has 19 slots total to fit your 8.5x11 paper. Rotate it to choose the orientation you like best (vertical or horizontal). If you display your paper in a column (top to bottom), vertical is the most appealing. However, if you display your paper in a row (side-by-side), horizontal create a beautiful flow.
12x12 Paper Holder for IKEA
The 12x12 Paper Holder for IKEA is an excellent storage solution for your 12x12 paper. It has a 15-slot or 12-slot option, the 12-slot option provides more room for storing a larger stack or the 15-slot option provides more individual compartments to maximize the different colors.
6x6 Double for IKEA
The 6x6 Double for IKEA® storage option has 15 slots to hold your collection of 6x6 paper, 6x6 cardstock, and origami paper. Each divider has a small arch cut into it making it easy to remove the paper you need.

2. Do you have extra space under your desk?
When it comes to storing your paper, sometimes the best solutions are unexpected ones. Under-desk storage can be a fantastic option for keeping your paper tidy and accessible. It also makes use of vertical space. Our Desk Base Paper Holders are not only functional, but also when full add a pop of color to your workspace.
The 12x12 or 8.5x11 Desk Base Paper Holders are designed to fit neatly under your desk, maximizing the space available. With 30 slots, you can keep all your favorite cardstock organized. Whether you are working on a scrapbooking project or creating handmade cards, having your paper close at hand can make your crafting process more efficient and enjoyable.
