6x6 Paper Storage for Stampin' Up! Paper Shares


I hope you enjoyed my ribbon share storage, here is a matching box for Stampin' Up! paper. I wanted some way of storing the loose leaf paper that would protect the paper, keep it together, hold the scraps and look pretty. I think I managed it :-)

Paper Pockets

I used the Envelope Punch Board to make the envelopes to hold the paper. I used The crafty Owl Box Buster to calculate the size of paper and where to punch and score. This is a really useful tool and I highly recommend it. 

Measurements for the pockets

To hold a full pack of 48 sheets I recommend a depth of 3/8". To make this pocket you need:

  • 9 7/8" x 9 7/8' cardstock
  • First punch 4 5/8th 
  • Score
  • Second punch 5 1/4"
  • Score
  • Rotate and use the score lines as a guide for the next punch and score positions
  • Repeat on all 4 sides
I did not have any full packs as it was a paper share so I made smaller pockets:

1/4" Deep

  • 9 5/8" x 9 5/8' cardstock
  • First punch 4 5/8th 
  • Score
  • Second punch 5"
  • Score
  • Rotate and use the score lines as a guide for the next punch and score positions
  • Repeat on all 4 sides

1/8" Deep



  • 9 1/2" x 9 1/2' cardstock
  • First punch 4 5/8th 
  • Score
  • Second punch 4 7/8"
  • Score
  •  Rotate and use the score lines as a guide for the next punch and score positions
  • Repeat on all 4 sides

  • Labels

    • I wanted to label each pocket with the name of the paper and also the colours that were in the papers
    • This helps to match the ink and cardstock, ribbons and embellishments
    • And give correct information in my tutorials! lol


    To make the Box

    • 2 sheets of Extra Thick Whisper White 9 1/4" x 8 1/4"
    • For each sheet
    • Score on Long side  @ 2" & 8 1/4"
    • Score on Short  side  @ 2" 
    • Remember that these will make a left and a right side of the box
    • One side will have a 2" flap on the front and a 1" at the back 
    • The other side will have a 1" on the front and a 2" at the back
    Template for 6x6 paper shares

    • You need to cut 3" up on the 2" section of one piece and cut a diagonal line to the score line
    • Repeat on other piece but this time cutting across the 1" and diagonally to the score line
    • The picture above shows where the cut lines are


    Decorating the box

    • I used Fresh Fig cardstock and Fresh Floral DSP to match my ribbon box
    Ribbon box and bobbins and 6x6 paper storage

    • Fresh Fig mats 
      • 6" x 1 3/4"
      • 2 3/4" x 1 3/4"
      • 2 - 6" x 6" - these are then cut from 2 3/4" to the opposite point to form a diagonal cut
    • Fresh Floral DSP
      • 5 3/4" x 1 1/2"
      • 2 1/2" x 1 1/2"
      • 2 - 5 3/4" x 5 3/4"  - these are then cut from 2 1/2" to the opposite point to form a diagonal cut
    Now you have everything cut to size press play below and craft along with me 😊
