    I like your idea of storing dies, I also bought a binder and some magnets so I'm going to be organizing mine. TFS & have a good week!!

    I love this binder style of storing dies!!! I'm seriously in love with it and you have almost convinced me to do it this way if I can find the magnetic sheets. I have mine in little bag things on smaller magnet sheets, but I love the idea of seeing a bunch on one page. I think it might make my ideas flow a bit more. Thanks for sharing!

      +WanderingDreamer555 oh yes seeing more is good to get those creative juices flowing. The binder is a bit heavy but it does the trick for me at the moment. I have seen many types of storage but for some reason I'm partial to binders.

    great idea for dies storage. you surely do lots of die cutting. I still have some die cuts you sent me in a wish granted. TFS.

      +niks crafty corner that is awesome. I like dies but not as much as I do stamps or paper lol.

    I stored my dies in a binder too 😊 I couldn't make myself cut the magnetic sheet & I think you get to store more dies with the whole sheet. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's too heavy..lol

    • @ranabluu
      @ranabluu  6 років тому +1

      Yes the binder is really heavy. The magnetic sheets weigh it down. I didn't want to waste that much material.

    I like how you store them. I just have all mine thrown into a container. lol I have all the stuff to make a binder like yours, I just haven't done it yet. I need to, I lost a die and that made me sad so I've got to do something.

    • @ranabluu
      @ranabluu  6 років тому

      +Kristie Lindsey organizing them is good easy to find. I realize that I have to go back to how I was the "sorter and cataloging "it makes life easy.

    A snap off razor blade works beautifully for cutting these magnetic sheets.

    • @ranabluu
      @ranabluu  2 роки тому

      Thank you so much for the advice. I haven't been able to find them lately.

  • @deniserichard6194

    Love your idea. Although, I haven't fot magnets that big at DT. I purchased some air vent magnets
    I'll see if I can order on line.

    • @ranabluu
      @ranabluu  3 роки тому

      I have been trying to find them and no luck so far.

    I love your system I so wish I could find those magnetic sheets did you find in school sections? Your diecut collection is AWESOME!!!! hugs

    • @ranabluu
      @ranabluu  6 років тому +1

      I believe they were in the school section. They vanish and reappear throughout the year. I will look for some the next time I stop in the store.

    Nice die collection. TFS!
    What size notebook are you using to store your dies?

    • @ranabluu
      @ranabluu  6 років тому +1

      Thank you. The binder is three inches.

  • @kimberlywalker1015

    I really like your system...I've been searching for a notebook idea to store my large selection of dies....and this maybe the one I've been searching for...how do the plastic sleeves hold up?....Thanks again for sharing.☺

    • @ranabluu
      @ranabluu  5 років тому

      Thank you so much. They hold up very well.

    Awesome storage.. But boy oh boy those are going to get heavy quick.. But easy access which is very cool 😀

    • @ranabluu
      @ranabluu  6 років тому

      Already heavy very heavy. I for some reason like the binder method. I hope to not exceed five binders. I only have one at the moment, lol. I haven't really bought a lot of unbranded dies lately. My next major hurdle is going to be the stamps....wish me luck

  • @thesarcasticcrafthoarder-b5733
    @thesarcasticcrafthoarder-b5733 6 років тому

    I also have started to organize my thinlit type dies. No brand name dies go into 5x8 inch binders...I thought that would be easier and I could pick up the binder with one hand...WRONG!!!! they are so darn heavy lol...I wish I could find more of the dollar tree magnetic locker sheets...so much cheaper then buying Avery magnetic sheets. TFS♡♡♡♡♡♡

  • @lolalarue704

    Great video! Where would you find those magnetic sheets at the Dollar Tree? Thank you!

    • @ranabluu
      @ranabluu  5 років тому +1

      Thank you very much. Yes that's where I got mine from, they are the locker magnets and I cut them down to size.

  • @carolpope1145
    @carolpope1145 5 років тому

    I decided I didn't like the binder method. Because the binder took up to much space on my table when I opened. But I'm happy it works for you.

    • @ranabluu
      @ranabluu  5 років тому

      What method have you adopted now? I usually pull the pages of dies I plan to cut out of the binder then replace them once I finish.

  • @bobbi7052
    @bobbi7052 6 років тому +1

    Tfs I was looking for a system, how do you store you dies that have matching stamps?

    • @ranabluu
      @ranabluu  6 років тому +1

      +Bobby Miller so that's a different issue, lol. For stamps with dies I have them in a tote. I plan on putting them in the boxes from Michael's and cataloging them.

    • @brrjohnson8131
      @brrjohnson8131 2 роки тому

      This is so old, but it just dawned on me. Some I store with stamps & some with dies.
      However, I realized the only time I use those dies is after I've stamped the image. I've decided they belong in the stamp storage collection. Just because the only time I use a stamp-specific die. It's the natural process order.
      Funny, I've been perplexed over this issue for a few years without a firm method in place. Only reading someone else's dilemma helped me answer my own identical question. Thanks! I'm re-sorting mine tonight.

    Do you ever buy unbranded dies from aliexpress? They are a lot cheaper than at pt cheap.
