Stencil Storage for Paper Crafters
When it comes to card making supplies organizing your stencils can be challenging with all the different sizes and styles. You’ll find 6x6, 6x9 (Slimline), and 12x12 as popular options for your card-making or scrapbooking projects. A common question we receive at Stamp-n-Storage is, "How do I store my stencils, so they are easy to access and protected?" We all know that horrible feeling when you see one of the cutouts in the stencil bent out of place!
Stamp-n-Storage offers various solutions to organize any size stencil. Our goal is to maximize your space while keeping your stencils easy to access and protected when not in use.
Organize 6x6 Stencils in 6x6 Paper Sleeves
6x6 stencils are perfect for adding a beautiful background to your A2 cards or other paper crafting projects smaller than 6x6. They are popular across many brands, including:
- Gina K. Designs
- Taylored Expressions
- Picket Fence
- Trinity Stamps
- Waffle Flower
- Simon Hurley
- Honey Bee
- Altenew
- and more...
Stamp-n-Storage offers a 6x6 Paper Sleeve that is ideal for storing your stencils. Each Sleeve has a tab for labeling, and the 0.18mm thick material is sturdy enough to protect your stencil. The Sleeve even holds multiple stencils for those beautiful layering sets.
Tip: Add a piece of colored card stock behind your stencils if you need a little help seeing the design in the Sleeve.

Organize Slimline Stencils in 9.5x7 Storage Pockets

Organize your Slimline Stencils in the Stamp-n-Storage 9.5x7 Storage Pocket. You can choose between the Portrait or Landscape options to best fit your needs. We recommend the Landscape option for storing stencils due to the long-edge opening. Each pocket has a tab for labeling your stencil; its material is thick enough to protect it and transparent, so you can quickly see the design.
Organization for Create-in-Quads
If you haven’t heard of Create-in-Quads by Taylored Expressions, you’ll want to check them out. These layering stencils create four cards at once and often come in a 8.5x11 size.
Organizing your Create-in-Quads stencils is just as easy as using the stencil when you store the layering set in an 8.5x11 Paper Sleeve. Each paper sleeve has a tab for labeling and a finger notch to access your stencil safely.
