Grand Die Storage

If you didn't already know, I'm a bit of a storage nut . . . I think most of us paper crafters with a hoard of supplies HAVE to be, if we want to know where our supplies are so we can use them, right?!!  :)  So I wanted to share my recent storage solution for Spellbinders fabulous new Grand Nestabilities dies:

I'm using these 8.5" x 11" Full Size Storage Panels from Stamp N' Store (Ellen Hutson is the only online retailer of these that I’ve been able to find): 

The dies are held in place with business card sized magnets, cut in half OR you could use Inchie Magnets from Inchie Arts:

You can place a set of dies on each side of the storage panels -- they are quite sturdy. The panels are all stored in this Clear Translucent Full Size Binder from Stamp N' Stor (measures approximately 11” x 11-1/2” x 1-1/2” closed) that Ellen carries in her store:

I like that this binder will close up for travel, so no dies can accidently escape! 

I punch holes in the die’s packaging insert and place them in the binder, for easy reference of die name, SKU number, and to know which dies belong in each set!  Plus, they are just too pretty to throw away!  :)

I'm also storing other larger format dies in the Mini Binder Box (measures approximately 9-1/2” x 7” x 1-1/4” closed), that won't fit in my usual CD case die storage system:

These smaller binders are available from JustRite Stampers as well as the smaller plain/unprinted white cling storage panels (measuring 8-1/2” x 5-3/4”)!

The same business card magnets were cut and used wherever needed, to hold the die configurations.  I like using pieces of magnets (as opposed to full sheets of magnets), so it’s easier for my acrylic nails to get the dies off the magnets!

 

I hope this may help some of you with the same storage challenges!

This is a great idea! I've been storing them in the Quikutz folders, but this way seems to hold more dies.

Can I ask where you find your cd tins for your smaller nestabilities?
That is what i use,but the retailers that i usse to purchase from have either stopped carrying them or they themselfs are no longer in business.

Thank you!

What a neat idea Sharon. Thanks for letting us know about this way of storing the dies especially the grand dies. I think you can also buy the storage panels at Sunday International. You always have the neatest ideas. TFS!!! :-D
