Let's have some fun exploring what these choices might reveal about our personalities!
As papercrafters, our tools and how we store them can say a lot about us. Just like our love for vintage stickers and patterned papers, our choice of pencil and pen cases can be a window into our crafting souls.
1. The Abundant Creator: "The Crafty Collector Who's Ready for Anything!"
You're not just a papercrafter; you're a walking craft store! Share if your case is a treasure trove of every tool and trinket.
You're the papercrafter who believes more is more! Your large and bulky case is brimming with every tool imaginable. From specialty scissors for those intricate vintage stickers to a spectrum of pens for every shading need, you're prepared for any project. This case suggests you're generous, resourceful, and always ready to dive into complex projects with enthusiasm.

2. The Elegant Organizer: "The Sleek Minimalist with a Touch of Vintage Charm"
Are you the crafter who finds beauty in the basics? This is for those who believe in 'less is more' with a vintage twist!
If your case is sleek and slimline, you're the epitome of 'less is more.' Your tools are carefully curated - a set of high-quality pens, a pair of precision scissors, and a selection of your favourite vintage-inspired washi tapes. This case reflects your organized, focused, and thoughtful approach to crafting. You value quality over quantity and find beauty in simplicity.
3. The Eclectic Visionary: "The Bold and Colourful Innovator of Crafting"
For the crafters whose pencil case is as vibrant and creative as their projects. Show off your eclectic side!
Is your pencil case a burst of colours and patterns, perhaps even adorned with vintage stickers? Then you're likely the Eclectic Visionary. Your case, a mix of practical tools and whimsical items, mirrors your imaginative and playful spirit. You find inspiration everywhere and aren't afraid to experiment with your craft.

You know that every detail matters in crafting and in life. If your case is a masterpiece, this one's for you!
For those who have customized their cases, adding personal touches or DIY elements, you're the Detail-Oriented Artist. Every aspect of your crafting, from the carefully chosen vintage paper to the way your tools are arranged, is a reflection of your meticulous and creative nature. Your case shows your commitment to personal expression and precision in your art.
5. The Versatile Innovator: "The Multi-Tasking Maven of Papercrafts"
You're the papercrafter who redefines versatility! If your pencil case doubles as your creative toolbox, complete with nail polish, let the world know.
Lastly, if your pencil case also doubles as something else (like a makeup bag), you're the Versatile Innovator. You love finding new ways to use everyday items, mirroring your approach to papercrafting. Your creativity knows no bounds, and you often incorporate unconventional materials into your vintage designs.

Embrace your style, whether it's collecting, organizing, experimenting, detailing, or innovating. After all, our crafting tools and how we choose to store them are as much a part of our creative expression as the beautiful vintage projects we create!

I am an Abundant crafter with a dash of eclectic visionary but my inner child wants to be a detailed oriented crafter but my versatile innovator alter ego upset the proverbial craft cart most days. So that leaves me with many half finished projects while we get distracted by a sale we spotted online or a new parcel that arrived at the door but we can’t remember what we ordered…
I’m the Eclectic Visionary type I think, lots of colours, pens pencils brushes "oh there a feather " that sort of thing, love stickers and washing tape decorating my cases and containers. Always several projects on the go while others wait to be completed… ahh I love it.
I’m the Abundant Crafty Creator ready for anything. However I could never find the right bag to fit everything I wanted to have in it. Finally found the answer and had my Daughter make one made to measure, just for me and it’s brilliant. There is also a running joke amongst my Crafty friends, where we live there is no Spotlight store. So my house is known as Spotlight Camden, they tell everyone if you need craft supplies just go to Stoplight Camden, Kay will have it for sure. I admit to having to past times Craft and collecting Craft supplies. Happy Crafting everyone!
I’m the Abundant Creator type, I think.
Except I’m disorganised, do not have a place for everything, so I will buy things again because I know I have them, want to use them, but can’t locate them. It is something that really annoys me about myself- but don’t think I am likely to change now 🤔.
