Organization is such a key component of design and card-making as a whole. For me, if I do not have my products in an organized, easy-to-find place, I cannot produce my best work. Getting new products and finding a good way to display them for visual appeal and function is an integral part of the creative process. Today, I will talk about my Stampin’ Up! Dies.
I will be discussing Organization all week and helping you as best I can to see how I store things in my Stamping Studio. I will put Amazon links for the things I use to hold my products in case you are interested in finding them easily. Don’t forget to come back each day this week to see more!
Today I will focus on Die storage. I love Dies but especially Shape Dies! The circles, ovals, squares, and banner dies are my favorites. I think I use dies the most of any tool for my cards.
Dies Organization
Here is a quick video about how I add magnetic sheets to brand-new dies that I purchase. They then go into my container. I add a divider to label them so I can find them and use them in my daily stamping.
But I do have to say, there is nothing like die-cutting a floral image out of a pretty colored cardstock or cutting a cuddly koala out of a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP).
Die-cutting is essential to stamping and so my Dies must be organized. Let me know in the comments how you organize your dies.
I am attaching a copy of my YouTube live stream that took place on Tuesday, April 12, 2023. It shows all of my organizers. I will be sharing them with you one at a time in these blog posts. I hope you will join me next week for another live stream on YouTube. They happen every Tuesday night at 8 pm EST on my YouTube Channel.
I would like to share with you the products used to organize the cardstock portion of my Stamping Studio.
