Thanks for sharing. It’s true we all have our own way of organizing depending upon how are brains work. But, there is always something that sparks a new way of doing things that we never thought of before, so thanks again Sam!

[@debrahall709]

Have you ever thought to remove all the sentiments that are on each set of dies and keep them in their own pouches? Since I don't have to share where I got things, that's what I do. That way I can see all the different fonts and sentiments for a card I'm making without having to go through all my stamps. I also cut the sets up and organize them by theme too. If a set has flowers and leaves along with some other random ones, I put those under flowers. BUT, I don't need to know where they came from. I just want them so I use them. Otherwise, I use this method you do on all my sentiments. All the others are in mini binders, titled and organized in my bookcase by my desk. I think everyone needs to find what works for them so we actually use our supplies and not just buy and put them away! LOL

[@cherylb1025]

I have wondered if anyone does that - separate so like stamps/dies are together.

[@user-zt2sq5ow3d]

This is definitely what I need to do, thank you

[@andrealavigne7824]

I generally buy magnetic vent covers, which I find at Home Depot here in America. I cut them down for die storage. The covers are 15x8", and I cut down to 5x7-1/4" (that's the height that fits in the pockets I use, & I can get three evenly sized sheets if I cut them down to 5" wide). So from a pack of 3 covers, I can get 9 sheets. And the only waste is the 3/4" wide strip from cutting theme shorter. They are rather flimsy, but I just adhere them to lightweight (maybe 65 lb.) white cardstock cut slightly wider and the same height, which provides ample stiffness. If you do that, make sure to use double-sided tape rather than liquid glue. I initially used glue, and the moisture apparently seeped through the magnetic sheet on several of them, and rusted some of my dies. :( I ended up having to rip the cardstock backing off those, clean the sheet to get any glue residue off, and adhere to another cardstock piece. Thank you for sharing your system, Sam. I always love seeing how other crafters organize their spaces & supplies. Hope you have an awesome day! :)

[@sherriworonick2618]

I want to thank you for so many things, your skill at card design and instruction, information, tips, and videos on how to organized your craft supplies and room, and so much more. I have been doing your lesson regarding organizing stamps and dies and although my husband threatens to "clean out/up my craft area he finally is seeing progress. And it makes sense, my stress level is reduced and I can now craft more without problems. Again Thank you.

[@CraigsOverijse]

Hey Sam, I did this before I saw this video. I picked up a solid perspexs fridge box when I lived in Belgium in a shop called Action very similar to wilkos of home bargins in the UK. Mine are really rigid plastic and perfect fit for an A5 plastic wallet in the way you have yours stashed, maybe people can check in the houseware sectiosn of their local shops. Another tricks for me is that I use an ink pad to colour the edges of the sheets I put in the wallets I stamp the image and wite a label at the top, its a really quick visual clue when I want to find one style of stamps for example red is Christams related, yellow is for cartoon or cuties etc... I also had straight tops but I used scissors to cut a small semicircle onto on side makes them easier to use. For my. tiny stamps the ones you use on pegs I have a smaller bix and A6 wallets. My dies are in wallets with magnetic plates in pockets

[@MixedUpCraft]

Thank you Craig Famly for sharing some really useful tips 😊

[@lilyfultz9702]

I see you’re using the Jennifer McGuire organization method for stamps & dies! What an awesome idea Jennifer McGuire had so many, many, many years ago & I’m sure she didn’t even know it at the time how huge her ideas would come to benefit so, so many in the crafting community, nor how recognized, known & greatly appreciated her, her name & her organizational ideas would benefit so, so many & how she would be on talk shows, in magazines, have her name broadcasted all over the crafting community, KZbin & so much more...WOW!!! I’m sure you watched her video of her craft room tour because I heard you mention her name on this video about how your followers should go check out Jennifer McGuire’s video about labeling using the Brother machine, but they should watch Jennifer McGuire’s craft room tour from so many years ago & how she developed this amazingly awesome organizational method! Enjoyed your video of how you organize your stamps & dies using the Jennifer McGuire method! Take care, 🎀 Lily 🎀

[@gailw8999]

Just started organizing my stamps and crafting supplies I like how you have organized your stamps does and combine stamp and dies. It is close to what I am doing. 👍♥️

[@eagerhands1]

Very similar to what I am doing. I made boxes 8”x8”x4” using chipboard and pretty, heavy wrapping paper. I place the dies in envelopes which close with Velcro.. available from Amazon. I place extra cutouts in several colors in a smaller thin envelope in the bigger envelope to use when I am in a hurry or want to try something for size. If I have the original packaging, I use the cardboard part to hold the dies, particularly the small ones. It makes them easier to pull out. I made my dividers from folders which I cut down. They are the same width of the storage envelopes and about an inch taller so I see the sections easily. I don’t have a label maker but type everything out, laminate, cut apart and attach with double sided tape. The biggest drawback to my system is the cost of the envelopes from Amazon. But .... it does work well. I love the idea of the magnetic insert. I am going to do this today!

[@mitzileach260]

I just wanted to say a big Thank You, I have been struggling on trying everything to store my dies over the years, I recently bought the heavy weight magnetic sheets and sleeves and they are great. The magnetic sheets are brill.

[@juliekoester7776]

Thank you so much Sam! This has really helped me get organized. I love watching your videos. You’re so talented. Hello from Julie from Tennessee, USA! ❤️

[@vayes7958]

Very informative... What I've been debating is some stamps sets have different sentiments in the set..so don't know whether to separate the different sentiments or keep them with the set they came with

[@JillianNorwood]

I enjoy seeing how others organize. Thanks for sharing! Jill

[@cherrymcsharry8869]

Most of my stamps are on wooden blocks, so they take up a lot more room. I've got them in A4 storage boxes. I have to admit to having way too many dies. I like the Woodware A4 self adhesive magnetic sheets. I peel the backing off and lay the sheet down on a piece of stiff card. That helps when you have a lot of smaller dies stored on the sheet. Then I found some A4 see through folders with a velcro closure and pop them in there. All the folder are stored in heavy duty plastic document storage boxes. They come in different colours and you can write on the top to say what is inside, ie Christmas, Grand dies and so on. If you put double sided tape on the back of those floppy magnetic sheets that you have, you can stick them on to some card. That will help stiffen them up. I love watching your tutorials. Especially the large fold down gift bags, the cottage, she shed etc. I had been looking for a die set that would let me make something similiar but you've shown me how to make it from scratch. Your instructions are so easy to follow. I've only just found your videos on You Tube, so I'm having a really good time working my way through them all. Thanks for all your hard work and for sharing all your brilliant ideas. Cherry in France

[@rachaelsharples6633]

Thanks for sharing Sam, you are so organised, and this saves so much space! Love watching your craft room videos 👌🥰

[@TerriRoseCrafts]

How did I miss this video?! Thank you so much, I try to be organised but I always fail miserably so this will definitely help me. Now I just need to buy a label machine, a laminator, laminator sheets, plastic boxes, A5 pouches and a bigger crafting area to store everything nicely 😂

[@kkrolf2782]

Ya, let me know how you manage that last one … I need input on THAT one!!! ((I’ve threatened to go find a mobile home to rent for MY craft. My Love has the underneath of every bed as well as a “den” for his … THREE?? … hobbies!!))

Ty for this great tutorial, Sam xx

[@Taitcreates639]

I have so many dies, it would probably clean out most of the pockets on Amazon. Been slowly getting organized, just takes forever to get anything done. This was very helpful, ty.

[@Cards4Cancer]

This is very similar to how I keep my stamps. I have black canvas containers though. I am disabled so the weight is a huge issue for me. My dies I have the ArtBin magnetic die sheets. The are heavy weight and look like a white folder. I use a metal container to hold them. I keep them down low as I can't pick up that weight. However the ones that match stamps, I keep in the back of my pocket as well.

[@kkrolf2782]

Glad to know that you aren’t letting “issues” keep you from your creative side!

[@angel_on_the_edge8084]

[@shonasmithshonasmith]

This has helped me so much. I've been wondering about what categories to sort my stamps and dies out into and this helps so much. Also I had my dies in an a4 project book but I think I'll buy the thicker magnetic sheet and store the same as my stamps. Any chance of an updated craft room tour please?? Might have sorted my stamps but the rest of the room looks like a bomb hit it haha xx

[@patpowell6684]

Normally I see one of your videos and think “that’s perfect, I’ll do that”. This time was different....I’ve just spend the last couple of days sorting my growing stash into exactly what your showing! I too love the basket with the handles, I use then in my fridge and cupboards too, but I have to do the dividers still so will follow your example but will have to hand write the labels. Thanks again.

[@kkrolf2782]

Pat Powell OR...you can use your computer...type all your catagories out with the spacing you need; print & cut them out; put each onto a piece of cellophane tape or clear packaging tape, then apply to your divider sheets.

[@jacquelineriley-gorman9588]

thank you your video has been so helpful to me that I don't think a plain thank you is big enough....I picked up a lot of tips that I will now transfer to my own stamp and die storage as well as my embossing folders....I am just getting back into stamping to use it with my artwork , that I really did not know where to start...now I know thank you again...

This is helpful! I need a better storing system for my stamps and dies. Thanks Sam! God bless!!

[@kathynelson8727]

Excellent video. I have a similar system and to indicate which stamp set has a magnetic sheet and dies in the back of the pocket, I put a red dot on the front of the pocket.

[@lindadavies6464]

My word! You have so many die's and stamps it made my mind boggle, good job you have a good system.

[@ruthkelley9644]

Love your ideas. I do use the pockets for dies and stamps. I keep mine organized by Designer, Anna Griffin, Spellbinders, etc. and then use similar dividers for catagories. I use Avery Elle or Ellison for pockets and use card stock to attach the magnetic sheet with double sided when I purchase the thin sheets.

[@donnarobertson9550]

I so need to do this with my dies and stamps, they are in plastic boxes at the moment but no order to it and I do forget what I have! Off to watch the video on the magazines and dies/stamps storage 🙂👍 x

[@valrodgers8889]

I have some flimsy magnet sheets as well. Attached the packaging from the die with double sided tape, so I know everything about the die😊

[@dmaynardabu]

I use the magnetic vent covers for my dies. They are flimsy like the ones you showed. To make them sturdy I adhere them to light weight chipboard (from the back of paper pads or from paper packs from SU) that works well for me. Maybe it will help you with the ones you have. I use score tape to adhere them to the chipboard.

[@pamelapruett7833]

I just ordered the 5x8 plastic holders with the magnetic sheets and also 8x11 job folders with Magnetic sheets from Amazon in the US

[@jeantanner8900]

Thank you Sam, I have very limited space so this helps a lot.

[@cynthiaakacyndsmith6539]

[@vanderbrowning1821]

This is a good idea and I need to do it but oh man it’s gonna take a while x

[@ruthiek5340]

I store my stamps and dies exactly like this! I think it's so great for space saving and the ability to divide them all into categories. I also organize mine similar to the way you do (like the "fashion" and "animals" ones). The only difference in mine is that I use small 3 ring binder page protectors as my sleeves because if I want to take some with me to a crop or my boyfriend's house, I just pop them into my binder and go! They aren't nearly as stiff, but with the addition of white cardstock pieces to see them better AND putting one in the front and one in the back of each protector, they stay pretty rigid. I get my bins at my local Dollar Tree here in the USA and they fit the pages perfect.

[@kkrolf2782]

Ruthie K I, too, use the “half sheet” sized page protectors, but mine are pretty substantial. I, however, have trimmed off the “binder edge” so they don’t stand proud of the edge of the drawer I store them in.

[@nikkibrown5044]

Scribbl have the A5 pockets in stock, they've been out of stock for ages but I received my order the other day, a box of 100 for £6.12 + vat, they are the Q Connect ones, they have smaller and larger too... love the storage ideas, this is what I intend doing, it's just so daunting given the amount I need to do 😉😉😉

[@Cards4Cancer]

I was just wondering if you can set your Amazon store front to open in Amazon for the country the person lives in, will open when they click the link.

[@M1326]

Great video... new subscriber... I use the floppy magnetic sheets to hold my companion dies for my stamp sets... the heavy duty magnetic sheets i use for dies only...

[@kkrolf2782]

Someone else may have already suggested it to you, but I have made use of flimsy magnetic sheets by applying double faced tape between them and cardboard backer pieces gleaned from cereal boxes.

[@sharon94503]

I've put my nesting/square/circle/rectangle/oval/ basic dies on binder rings that swing open, and hang them on my ikea pegboard within reach of my desk. It saves me so much time & hassle.

[@kkrolf2782]

That sounds like it might same time initially. Have you ever had any of them get bent with that system? It would probably frustrate me to no end when trying to find the “pair” I might need to make a frame; even MORE so looking for a “rainbow set”! I guess I’ll stick to the vent cover magnets 🧲. But thank you for sharing your tip … we don’t learn if we don’t share!!

[@clairegagne6906]

OMG, I've been hoping that some day you would come up with such a video & today's the day. I thank you so very much for sharing this with us. I do mine similar but have had a hard time with the pockets, so that's a help for me as well as what you use. This is a keeper video for me to look back on. In the meantime off to check out the pockets. For the magnetic sheets I use vent covers. Think they're 8 X 15. So I cut to 5 X7 and waste an inch, but then again you can use that inch say for edge dies or smaller ones.

[@kkrolf2782]

Claire Gagne OR...if they’re thin enough, use them between card stock layers as closures for pop-up cards.

[@vanessabbrooks698]

LOVELY LADY.... AMAZING FOR SHARING

[@ShoshiPlatypus]

I’m in the process of doing something very similar with my stamps and dies at the moment. I haven’t started on the stamps yet. I am using Avery Elle pouches (the largest size) and cutting thick white cardstock inserts for each one. I am sticking a strip of magnetic tape across one side, onto which I can stick the dies. This then goes in the pouch, and the original packaging labels (trimmed down as necessary) go into the pouch on the other side of the card insert. I also put die-cuts that I have made into smaller baggies which go in with the die. I haven’t got a labeller and don’t intend to get one. I am going to design whole A4 sheets of labels on my desktop publisher and cut them out and glue them on. I know this is more work than using a dedicated labeller but it’s much cheaper and the result will be the same. I am planning to do something very similar to make my dividers - I got a laminator this week. An alternative would be to print the category on the top of the piece of card before I laminate it. The stamps will most likely be cling-mounted onto acetate sheets, again separated from the original packaging label by a piece of heavy cardstock. For both stamps and dies there will be some cross-over between categories. I think I shall make crib sheets of stamped images and file them separately, with a note under each one to indicate which section in the storage system they can be found. To keep them in, I have bought several really nice plastic baskets from the Range which work really well. For too long my stamps and dies have been in a total muddle - in different boxes and folders, and I can never find anything, and half the time I don’t even know what I’ve got! This new system is going to be so helpful. Not only does it look really great with all the packaging the same size, but it’s so easily accessible. I’ve got another basket into which I have put a lot of card blanks with their mats that I cut in bulk in different sizes - my hubby suggested I made a lot of envelopes with the punch board at the same time too, to file with them. I am going to do this, with blank liners too, and not glue anything, so I can pull out a card blank with its envelope and decorate and embellish as I choose. Up till now, card making has been a real pain for me because I’ve been doing everything on an ad hoc basis which takes ages. With the new system, it will not only be much quicker and more efficient, but much more fun too. I think everyone should have a storage system like this! Thank you for sharing. Great video.

[@kkrolf2782]

Hey, Kiddo … How’s your project going? Just found this channell and am curious to know if this is do-able, or only a dream. Thx for your input.

[@ShoshiPlatypus]

@@kkrolf2782 Thanks for your interest! I’ve only begun on the background stamps so far. I ran out of Avery Elle pouches and ordered some more. I’m going through a very busy time at the moment, and as usual, studio time has been relegated to the bottom of the heap. The die storage is complete, and it’s brilliant. I’ve got a lot more stamps than I have dies, so it’s going to take a while. As for the labelling on the dividers, I’ve decided to print the name on the top of a piece of cheap printer card and then laminate it. Once trimmed down to size and the corners rounded, these dividers work really well. You can see the results if you scroll down on my blog shoshiplatypus.com. Have fun!

[@lindabatson992]

Great tips, thanks. Do you have a system for cataloging your stamps so that you know where, for example, all your “Congratulations” stamps are? You may have them in 5 different envelopes in 5 different categories. I am having a problem remembering what I have and where they are. I need a way to catalog them. Just wondering if you have a solution for this.

[@kkrolf2782]

I’ve run into the same problem!!! I’ve JUST about decided to completely forego STAMPS for “sentiments” and use my computer! There’s a site called “daFont” (and others, too, I think) where we can get FREE fonts, and an app called “Mako” (… I think that’s its name… ) that can show you how to bend your words to the shape you need. As for “icon”-type stamps - say, BUTTERFLIES? - I’m with you!! Nearly every fourth clear plastic stamp set seems to have at least one Butterfly!! H O W in the world are we to keep track of them all?!?

[@ruthportway5198]

Well organised. I have just bought the Avery Hill pockets to start a similar system but I just have to have my categories in alphabetical order. Seeing how you have used your bins is helpful tfs

[@2CraftySeniors]

I'm like you... if it isn't in front of me, it doesn't exist. LOL This looks like a good system. I also want to have my dies and stamps together. I'll have to figure out how to fit it all onto my table... because there is no other place.

[@marsha-marsha-marsha104]

Would love to do this, but all my stamps are in DVD cases (Stampin' Up!). It would free up a ton of space, but then I feel I would have to save those cases for when I need to purge and sell some of them. Yikes! What a dilemma. LOL. I do keep my dies this way, though, but all my labels are alphabetical. Tfs!!

What size are the boxes,that is the main problem, so could let me know the sizes,and where did you get the sleeves

[@debrahall709]

On the magnetic sheets? I received a batch of thin ones and ended up gluing two or three together, which made it stronger. Just couldn't waste them and alone, they really were useless. : )

[@kkrolf2782]

Ya, that would be more than just an “ah, shucks!!” ‘cuz … I HAVE FOUND … the thinner the magnet sheets, the weaker the magnetic “pull”!!! So, in essence, you’d paid 3 Xs as much as you should have had to!!

[@debrahall709]

I buy mine from Amazon. They are very strong. They do have adhesive backing, but I don't use that. I slide two, back to back, into the sleeves of my binder. I can easily slide it out and nothing falls off. They are a bit more spendy than the vent covers, but using 3 or 4 pieces stuck together to get a good grip isn't really saving money and a pain in the ass. LOL I just invest a bit more and it makes life easier for me.

[@American2u]

do you put your smaller clear stamp sets in the large pockets too...or do you get smaller pockets to put them in

[@MixedUpCraft]

Hello Lea. All the pockets are the same size. It makes it easier to find the stamp sets. 😊

[@carolynmurtaza1180]

What size of pouches did you use, is it A5 or A6. I get so confused, for my 5x7 dies and stamps

[@MysteStorm]

How do you store all the magnetic sheets with dies against each other? Surely the magnetic sheet would pull the die from the behind one?

[@MixedUpCraft]

Hello Rowena . All my dies are in plastic wallets so they don’t touch , also the magnet sheets are just strong enough to hold the dies but not enough to all stick together. Hope this helps.

How to store ribbon

[@kkrolf2782]

I’ve not yet begun to organize my stamps; primarily because all the organization versions I see on Y.T. don’t EVEN take in to account the fact that just about every clear plastic stamp set sold has flowers, foliage, sentiments, and often some other type of “whatever”, be it a bicycle, or pergola, or “whatever”. Please, help me, someone! HOW do you keep grasp of the memory of each kind of these lil gems so nicely tucked away in a category that doesn’t EVEN represent what they are?!?

[@sharondipity152]

There is a computer program called Evernote that might be the solution for you. There are a handful of videos here on YT where people show how they use it for cataloging stamps and dies, with an easy search system called “tags” for sets with multiple images as you described. It can be a lot of work to set up if your collection is large, but I have found it to be worth the effort. There is a free version to download and use, and a paid version to which you can upgrade. In the search field here on YT, type in Evernote stamps and scroll through the video options. I found helpful tips in each of the offerings.

[@kkrolf2782]

sharondipity Thank you, Sharondipity (cute moniker!). QUESTION: Does the free version allow you to enter “tags”? Any quantity? Or a limited number? Thx again.

[@sharondipity152]

kk rolf Thank you for your kind words! The moniker suits me well. Yes, the free version of Evernote allows you to add tags. I could be mistaken, but I think there was no limit to the number of tags you can create/add. With that said, on the free version there is a limit to how much data you can input/add per month. If you use up your allotted monthly limit, you have to wait until the next period begins before you can continue to add more information. I just don’t remember if the months are calculated as calendar months or fiscal months. Sorry my memory of the details is a bit fuzzy, it has been a couple of years since I began using the program. I know I don’t use it to its full potential, but I do find it useful and worthwhile. :)

[@carolburleigh1999]

do you store the dies with stamps the same way but keeping them together

@@MixedUpCraft thx Sam, I’m currently labeling my dies and stamps using your technique/video tutorial. I’m having a tough time finding more A5 thumb top loading sleeves. I didn’t buy enough now I’m really regretting it. Thank you so much for this tutorial, it’s so helpful to me.

My dies I store on magnetic plates in a large folder but it’s very heavy

Do you file your stamp and die sets in your stamp bins or die bins?

[@debbierichards898]

The other day you said you use the 0.75 ones.

[@denisebotko7456]

Lol.. If you like the half circle on your die sleeves why don't you use a punch to put the half circle on the ones without them? Pretty sure the other ones were cut into- after they were made.

Thank you so much! I can’t find the measurements Can you help?

[@MixedUpCraft]

Hi Kelly, what measurements do you need? this is an older video of mine.

[@kellyhenderson1026]

Hi there. I was wondering the measurements of the pouches. I have made a bunch! Great idea! But they barely fit on my laminating film. What is your divider size? And would you have a list of your words for you divider ideas. My grand daughter has helped me with label making and your idea of making the strips really does save tape
