HOW I STORE MY METAL DIES including Metal Die Organization and Catalog, Metal Die Storage Ideas

[@lisadavis4807]

Very annoying watching a thousand commercials for one video!

[@marynaples9142]

They sell a brush to roll over the die to get the paper bits out. I started out making them the way you are but found sticking to cardboard too time consuming since I have so many dies. Now I just put the magnetic sheet in the Avery Elle envelope with card stock behind it or they will stick together. If there’s only one piece to the die they go in the envelope with just the cardboard. It doesn’t need a magnetic sheet. Your organization is very nice but with hundreds of dies you will want something quick.

[@KarolinasKrafts]

Mary Naples I probably have around 100 dies now but this organization works for me and I love it ! I love being able to just grab what I need. The cardboard and magnetic sticker sheets didn’t take too long ... the typing up the info and sticking the info on takes some time though and my organization on Evernote. Since I make things and share on Instagram and do KZbin videos, it all is very helpful for me! I thought about putting those cardboard magnetic things into envelopes but I like the easy access of it now 😁😁

[@karenwillett707]

use your pokie tool to get out of the die the little pieces or get a brush from tim holtz it comes with a foam piece ya lay your die on it and brush over it super simple

[@sandymcclay9739]

Can you show us how you made the labels please? Sandy

[@dianagoemann984]

I'm wondering, too.

[@DebH-bl8ku]

I just watched your video. I see that you recorded this 4 years ago. I am wondering if you are using the same system for your dies. Have you put them in clear envelopes?

[@KarolinasKrafts]

Still same system with the ones I did. I have clear envelopes for my new dies that I didn’t add to this system because I don’t use my dies often enough. So the new ones are by theme in a large clear envelope

[@elizabethnetzer5633]

Thanks so much for sharing! It takes me so long to find a die because they are not organized. This is such a great ideal, really appreciate it! Hugs from Canada!

[@JillianNorwood]

Great organization for your dies.

[@mamapillow8365]

I found this video extremely helpful, especially how you categorized them. Thank you!

[@KarolinasKrafts]

yay thank you so much! I'm glad you found it helpful

[@sue2019]

I'm not crazy abt binders. They r hidden & the bottom right side pulls down. Heavy as well.

[@bjackjack8937]

Tanto spazio sprecato, forse perché hai poche fustelle, quando aumenteranno cambierai la disposizione, vedrai!!!😅 anche le forme tutte uguali, ma ci sono fustelle anche più grandi... Buon lavoro!!!

[@christinebaker5527]

Could you please explain the process you used to make the labels you used. It would be very much appreciated.

[@catherinecamp7051]

Or put 3 hole punch along white side and store in a binder by category

[@michelleavsec5873]

I would include the number of dies in each set, so you know if one goes missing.

[@catherinecamp7051]

Hobby lobby has magnet sheets with adhesive backs

[@Becka324]

Love your storage for the dies . 😊 Quick ? The basket came in a 3 pack did you use the medium or the large basket? Love your channel , made the bug spray you did and it works great.

[@KarolinasKrafts]

I think I used the medium but i'm not 100% sure. My baskets measure 9 3/4 inches by 12 inches :) Hope that helps!

[@Becka324]

Thank you 😊

[@dottiewatson3394]

Glue the back so you don’t have ugly tape showing

[@meredithwagg2474]

Hello there to get bits of paper out of ur dies is to use a sisex brush or use Little pick tool

[@lauramartin7300]

Just checked, the basket is no longer available. 😢

[@alidadebruyn3560]

If I were you I would put them in ouches, this keeps them dust free

[@chungster_tina]

Putting the carboard on the adhesive magnet than adhesive on cardboard would help

[@dottiewatson3394]

Pokey tool to get paper out of die or brush for that

[@annasalinas2070]

I don't see the cardboard link and can't find them on Amazon. Can you let me know please

[@KarolinasKrafts]

It’s the second link in the description box

[@amysekarajasingham2933]

How did you make or where did you get your labels?

[@KarolinasKrafts]

I just made them on the computer!

[@mwre334]

The sticker labeling and the way you organized your dies looks awesome! 💕

[@ilenepayne]

WOW! You are so super organized! Great ideas to use. I don’t know about the computer log, but it seems very handy for making videos. TFS 💜🫶🏽💜

[@sandymcclay9739]

I truly wish this wS all I had for dies......lol

[@sierratango383]

Thank you so much for sharing all this! I'm in a similar place so far as not being certain how I want to organize, but my current system is worse than where you started. I have pieces coming off of cardstock I sprayed temp adhesive on. I think the idea was sound, but the cardstock wasn't stiff enough. I do have lots of magnetic sheets, but they are so heavy that Im not sure I want to use them. Might get some of your recommended chip board. It looks awesome & pretty durable. For future ref, it's easier to stick stuff down in place when you tear off a corner of the backing, then line it up, press down the sticky corner to tack it, then peel off the rest of the backing while sliding your hand across the top to stick it down (like for screen protectors or vinyl). Thanks again! Keep on keeping on!

[@ccchrissyys260]

If I could I spend a day crafting with u hehehe ☺️

[@jhulings]

Your dies are beautifully organized, and I love your labeling!! I'm going to re-organize my dies your way! I have Evernote and plan to use it to catalog my dies. Thank you! I just subscribed!

[@gr8fng]

Super helpful video ... hadn't thought to colour code by category. Did you split die sets ie sets that have tags & flowers or flowers & sentiments etc Like that you note matching stamp sets. Also found your categories useful Thanks from Australia 🐨 🐾

[@Kimberlymogan]

Either get the brush to get the paper out (I don’t like it) or my favorite way is use a weeding tool. It’s a tool for circuit or such that’s like a pinpoint piercing point . Just poke thru the holes from the back to pop out the paper

[@lauramartin7300]

Been wanting to do this and put in a binder. But I kinda like the whole way you did it. How did you do the stickers to get prints,and colors with words on them? Thanks for Sharing.Great job

[@montilue]

A weeding tool will probably get those papers out of your die. Great job organizing!

[@lindabeckman3053]

I’m working on a similar project right now, but I live in the dusty desert, so I prefer sleeves. I have several smaller stamp and die sets that I plan to assign tags to individual components in Evernote, such as flowers, hearts, stars, critters, sentiments. I like the idea of die cutting all of the pieces for the back. This would be especially helpful for sentiments! Thanks for sharing.

[@ChiseledDiamond]

Don't glue down the backing, you can just peel the magnet itself off the backing you glued down, it's like hanging the nail from the painting.

[@junerichards-jones403]

Where do you get the colored sticky labels ?

[@KarolinasKrafts]

June Richards-Jones I print them!

[@justforyouballoondecor]

Thank You so much for sharing! I began reorganizing so that I could get more crafting done and I discovered this video and I absolutely love it. I have never been able to access my die cuts so easily! Truly grateful 🙏

[@patriciawilliams6009]

Such a beautiful organization I have to figure out a system for myself with what I already have

[@sandymcclay9739]

Also, the dimensions of the white basket....they are no longer available so need to find something similar in size.

[@meredithwagg2474]

Looks awesome thanks for the labeling and dies tip

[@thecraftguy21]

LOVE this idea ! Thank you for sharing !! ♥️♥️♥️

[@susanbredehoft2308]

Awesom! thank youl, for sharing this.

[@krisharam2502]

wow.. thansk you so much. this is very helpful

[@puffyjo]

FOR THE magnet SHEET ALL YOU NEED IS A STRIP OF THEM NOT THE WHOLE THING it was hold them any ways with out wasting it

[@KarolinasKrafts]

That would work if they were on like a cabinet or just hanging up. But because I have them in a bin I need the whole magnet otherwise the dies get press up against the piece that doesn’t have the magnet and they fall off 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@annpeake9954]

Where do you get the color sticker sheets for the labels please? I've searched and can't find any like that--8.5" X .75". Thanks!

[@KarolinasKrafts]

I print and cut them myself

[@barbarahairston65]

Great video! Thanks for sharing. 😀💕

Happy re-organizing! Thank you so much! 💖

[@insanity6829]

Rofl..."...you can glue it...." oh my...

[@Nelliescake]

Excellent, thank you! 😃

[@jacquelineteague3545]

I think your die storage is awesome

[@TheBlackdiaful]

Will it hurt your cutting blade on your Friskars cutter? I just used scissors. So not as fast.

[@KarolinasKrafts]

TheBlackdiaful it hasn’t ! I’ve still been doing this

[@Scrappicat]

Very nice! So neat and tidy.

[@BarbaraHauensteinArtist]

Excellent video! Love your storage idea. Also I am very happy that you included the pitfalls as well as the triumphs. Thank you so much

[@CherylGuerreiro]

I love how you store your dies!!! 💖

[@TypicalScrapbooker]

I love this so much!

[@raymieiwamoto3026]

Where did you get the colored labels from

[@KarolinasKrafts]

I made them on my computer

[@maryg5941]

So pretty❤

[@cecyylovesjesus3093]

Awesome idea

[@corinnegallant7878]

Wonderful idea. Did you use a Cutting machine with a print and cut option to create the colored labels?

[@KarolinasKrafts]

Yes my silhouette cameo to cut and my regular printer to print

[@wendyalexander1397]

@@KarolinasKrafts Do you have a video on how you did that?

[@KarolinasKrafts]

@@wendyalexander1397 no I don’t sorry

[@introvert22]

Good job.
