Display Board Die Storage

Hi!  Today I have a quick blog post and video on how I like to store my dies.

Do you have a lot of dies and find that it is challenging to store them or even locate a particular die?  Are all your dies in one box or bin stacked on top of each other, which isn’t good for them, it will dull their cutting blade.  I used to store my dies in those plastic envelopes everyone loves, and they were stored in bins.  I have my stamps stored this way too but with the dies this just did not work for me.  The bins were on a shelf and to get to my dies I would have to pull the bin from the shelf to look through and find what I needed but the bins were heavy, and I have a bad back, so I had to find a better solution.  For me, that was creating magnet boards that I could just flip through to find what I needed.

After transitioning almost all my dies to these display boards, it was surprising to see how many dies I really had.  Hmmm… is there a name for this illness?  There certainly isn’t any cure, because I keep buying more dies.  Not only did these display boards solve a problem but I couldn’t believe how much more creative I was with my dies because now I could easily flip through to see every die that I have quickly and easily.

Here is a short video on how I created my Magnet Display Boards.

As I mentioned in the video, these could be hung on the wall, if you do hang them, I recommend Command Picture Hanging Strips which won't damage your walls and will also allow you to take your boards down in tact if you ever need to move them.  Also a quick tip, don't discard the extra bit of magnet that you have leftover from the pieces that you cut down to 6-inches.  I use these small pieces in my stamp pockets to store my stamp and die sets together that way the dies don't all settle to the bottom of the pocket.

I hope this idea will help you organize your dies and that you will find a renewed love for them.
