Card for Men + Organizing Tips | Craft With Me Using Anna Griffin Dies

Creating cards for men can sometimes feel like a challenge—finding the right balance between elegant and masculine takes a little extra thought. In my latest YouTube video, I show you exactly how I made a classy, layered card for men using the beautiful Anna Griffin Wingtip Dies. And because crafting is always more fun when things are organized, I’m also sharing some simple but game-changing tips on how I store and sort my card making supplies to maximize work space.

🎥 Card for Men + Organizing Tips | Craft With Me Using Anna Griffin Dies 




Masculine Cardmaking with Style

In this project, I focused on a design that’s elegant, timeless, and totally guy-approved. The Wingtip Dies from Anna Griffin are the perfect tool for this look—they bring in that detailed, layered feel without being too frilly or feminine. Paired with rich, neutral-toned paper and a bold sentiment, this card came together beautifully for any occasion like anniversaries, or a thank-you.

What I Used:

  • Anna Griffin Wingtip Die Set

  • Coordinating Anna Griffin papers

  • Foam adhesive for dimension

  • Classic sentiment stickers

                                                                              








Organizing Anna Griffin Supplies

If you're a fellow Anna Griffin fan, you know how quickly papers, embellishments, and dies can pile up! I’m sharing some of the ways I keep my stash tidy so I can actually find what I need when it’s time to create.

In This Video, I Share:

  • How I sort and store my card making supplies

  • A peek inside my paper and embellishment desktop organizer/riser

                                                                                

Staying organized doesn’t just make your space look better—it makes crafting feel easier and more enjoyable, too!


Let’s Craft Together!

I hope this video inspires you to make your next card for the men in your life with confidence—and gives you a few fresh ideas for keeping your craft supplies in order.

Craft Room Makeover: Small Space, Big Ideas!

Craft Room Makeover: Small Space, Big Ideas! | DIY Craft Box Cabinet Transformation

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by your craft space (or lack of one!), you're not alone. I recently gave my small craft area a total refresh—and I’m so excited to share the results with you! With a little creativity, a few DIY projects, and smart storage finds from Amazon, I turned a cluttered corner into a clean, functional, and inspiring spot to create. 🎨✨

The Challenge: Making the Most of a Small Space

Working in a small craft room (or multipurpose space) means you have to be smart about storage. My main issue was a lack of organization for my scrapbook paper, tools, and embellishments. I needed a solution that not only worked efficiently but also looked nice—because let’s be honest, crafting is more fun in a pretty space!   I worked on a lot of sorting, donating and organizing.


                                                                                          


                                      


       


The DIY Craft Box Cabinet Makeover

The centerpiece of this makeover was transforming an existing cabinet into a craft box—a customized command center that keeps everything I need at my fingertips.

Here’s what I added:

  • Hanging File Holders for 12x12 scrapbook paper: These make it so easy to see and grab what I need without rifling through piles. Perfect for organizing by color, or theme! These are inexpensive and you can purchase on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/45zluKT

  • Small Window Curtain Rods: I mounted these inside the cabinet to hang items like paper punches. They’re inexpensive and incredibly versatile.

  • Bins from Amazon: Affordable, stylish, and functional—these bins helped me group smaller supplies like scrapbook dies and embossing folders. Fin on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/47hLzkn

  • DIY 12x12 Paper Storage System: I built a custom insert that fits perfectly inside the cabinet to hold scrapbook paper flat and sorted. No more bent corners or forgotten papers!

The Results: A Clean, Fresh Look

After organizing and decorating the space, the entire room feels lighter, more welcoming, and way more functional. Every item now has a home, and I can easily access everything I need for scrapbooking, card making, or Cricut projects.

Whether you’re working with a dedicated craft room or just a small corner in your home, I hope this makeover inspires you to make the most of what you have. You don’t need a huge budget—just a few smart ideas and a little time!  Watch the video for all the details and hard work on my craft cabinet!
