Creating a Paper Storage for 6″ x 6″ DSP

Creating a Paper Storage for the 6″ x 6″ DSP paper was a fantastic idea that I saw done by Karin de Laat from the Netherlands.  When I saw her mention the paper storage I just knew I had to give it a try.  I was asked by a viewer to show how I created my 6″ x 6″ storage.

Be sure to keep the paper information to add to the back of your box so you can look up the colors that coordinate with the 6 x 6 dsp.

What do you need?

1 – 12 x 12” cardboard*
1 – 6 x 6 “ DSP (I used Flowers for Every Season for this example)
2 – solid cardstock pieces 8 ½ x 11” (I used Misty Moonlight for this example)

*Using cardboard from the backings of foil paper or any other product that Stampin Up has with a cardboard backing works great.
