Today’s post is an organization idea for you! Have you struggled as I have to figure out which Stampin’ Blends are which, without trying to read the side label? I have hemmed and hawed before I figured out a solution and I’m in love! Here’s what my Stampin’ Blends look like now:
Here’s a closer look at the labels I made:
For example, Cherry Cobbler Light and Cherry Cobbler Dark are represented by CCL and CCD. Would you believe me if I told you I made them with my Brother P-Touch Labeler??? Let me show you how!
First, I use the Brother PTD400AD – it’s AMAZING! I use it to label EVERYTHING! It has so many more options than my old Brother label machines! I really love setting the border option, as my labels maintain a consistent size that way (plus they look sharp too!).
Visit my FAVORITES page for my links to the labeler and the label tapes I buy!
The following series of photos are the settings I use on my Brother Label Maker…
♥ Here are the FONT settings:
♥ Here are the LABEL settings:
♥ Here are the FRAME settings:
After each label is printed, the labeler will ask “OK to Feed?”, to which I hit the ‘Esc’ button. I will repeat this until I have printed all of my labels. Then instead of hitting the ‘Esc’ button after the last label, I will select ‘OK’. The label tape will then feed until it can be cut. This is a great way to conserve your label tape!
Once you have all of your labels printed:
Just fussy-cut around the border, peel the backing off, and the labels should fit perfectly on your Stampin’ Blends caps!
I hope this organization tip helps you! If so, please share pictures with me or on social media with the hashtag #paperpixie and I’ll be sure to check it out!
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful & blessed day!

Hi Julie, I received my label maker, same as yours. I followed your directions but mine don’t come out with the border around each one…it is around the whole thing. What am I doing wrong? Everything is set up just like your photos. Help!!! Thanks.
Just love this idea, I am definitely going to try it since I was just looking through my blends trying to figure out what is what. Thanks.
Love this!! I tried using a smaller label wrapped around the lid but it didn’t stay. I don’t have the same Brother P-touch you do, but I made it work! Thanks.
Where did you get the box you have for your stampin blends?
Hi Irene! It’s from Stamp-n-Storage. Called the Marker Holder for Stampin Blends. You can find it on my Favorites page here: https://thepaperpixie.com/favorites
I must have an old Brother P-touch label maker. Model PT-200D
and I love printing out labels for stamp sets, etc, but it seems that I cannot control the size of the label, and there is always so much waste. Don’t know which button to use to shorten the waste? I only have these buttons to work with:
Font, Frame, button with basic or pictograph selection, and Deco mode. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you!
Hi Aurora! Try clicking the ‘Menu’ button, moving the cursor (‘>’ button) to [Margin], click ‘OK’, and then move the cursor to [Chain Print] and then click ok. I think that’s how you set up Chain Print on your model, but I’m not sure!
Great tip Julie. I’ve had the same struggle and now your solution will work for me! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, I’m always looking for ways to organize. What type of organizer is holding the blender pens?
Thank you, Jean! It’s the Stamp-n-Storage Marker Holder for Stampin Blends. You can find it on my Favorites page here: https://thepaperpixie.com/favorites.
Love this idea! I have a DYMO labeler that I’ve had for 6 years and it is still going strong and it doesn’t do this 🙁 . Can’t quite justify buying a new one but maybe someday I will get so frustrated with my punched circle labels that I will. In the mean time if you ever decide to print the strip and sell it, I’ll be your first customer! Hope your day is fantastic! I’m playing with my pre-order 🙂
Hi Debbie! Bummer! Not enough hours in the day for me to create & sell these labels 😉
You are so sweet to provide those details, thank you! Very cute and great idea!
Thank you, Donna! Happy to help!
BlessYou! TKU with Huge Hugs!!!
Thank you, Nadine! Blessings & hugs right back to you!
Hi Julie,
Thank you for the P-Touch post and great instructions. I just order it and the tape on Amazon. Hope you get credit. I clicked from your Favorites page (so helpful, had not seen the link before).
Love your video’s! They/YOU make everything easier by explaining so well.
Thank You!
Thank you so much, Patricia! I appreciate it!
Julie – thank you for sharing this info. I’m going to give it a try.
Yay! I hope you find it helpful!
Thank you so much, Julie! This is a super idea to solve an annoying issue. I appreciate your determination to solve this problem. I tend to make a mess and not put the blends back because I know I’ll be taking them all out again to see what color is what. Thanks for making stamping easier and less stressful.
Thank you, Judy! This makes it so much easier to quickly grab the Blends you need!
Julie, thank you so much, I have struggled with this so much, just hope my P-Touch does this. You are so creative, thank you for continuing to share your awesomeness with us!
Thank you, Lorrie! I hope your P-Touch does this too!
Genius
Yay! So happy you like the idea! Thank you!
Good Morning, Julie, this is great! I finally resurrected my Brother label maker I followed your directions and I am so happy.
I’ll send you some pictures.
Have a blessed day.
Wonderful, Nancy! Can’t wait to see!
