Right now I am really happy with my present system of die storage. It is NOT a new system, but it works for me. It is the QuicKutz Magnetic Storage Book. Here is a picture:
When closed it measures approximately 8x10 and is less than half an inch thick. The spine can accommodate a thin label.
Here is what it looks like when opened and filled with dies:
It provides about 15" of storage space. The picture above shows all of my tag dies. I have a separate book for each type of die I have.
Here is the one that houses my fashion doll dies:
All of my books are lined up in the die cutting area of my studio. I am able to pull out the book I need and easily replace each die as I finish with it. This is what makes it a good system for me. I like to be able to find what I need quickly and then put it right back.
I found a few of these books at a local Hobby Lobby. They were $12.99 each, but I was able to use a 40% coupon which made them a much better price.
Another great resource is Scrapbook.com. Their current price is $12.34 each. Often they offer coupons too.
I purchased quite a few of these at Amazon for a really good price because they have a 4 for 3 promotion on this item. Buy 4, pay for 3 - worked for me! And this item is available for free shipping with a Prime membership. Their current price is $11.36 each.
I'll be back tomorrow with a card I made using Gina K stamps and some of my favorite dies.
See you then,
Susie
This looks like a great way to store dies! I'll have to check it out! Thanks for the tip! :)
ReplyDeleteI use these books too and I had no idea about the 4 for 3 option at Amazon. I just went there and got 4 of them for $35 (free shipping!). What a great deal! Now I have some extras for more dies. I think they will be filling up fast.
ReplyDeleteLove the storage system. Makes it easy to see. Will have to see if I can find a few at Hobby Lobby. :)
ReplyDeleteooooo! love to see others using this system. I love it. all those dies in one place makes me HAPPY!
ReplyDeleteI also use this system! I've got about 6 of them. :)
ReplyDeleteI store my dies this way as well; and agree, it's so nice to reach out, grab the right book, use the die and then pop it right back into the book.
ReplyDeleteI bought my first set of books at Scrapbook.com, but found the deal on Amazon earlier this year as well. At the time I bought extra books knowing I'd fill them up eventually. :)
