Love your storage ideas. I also mark the package with how many dies there are in case they get lost while in use. Great storage for these dies and stamps. Thanks for the video.
I really hate how difficult it is to remove those dies from their original packaging. I learned (the hard way by bending a die) that if you pass over the back of the sheet with your heat gun and lightly heat that backing, the dies will come off much easier, and no danger bending them.
Nice tutorial. I'm in the process of doing this exactly myself and agree that it's easier to use labels versus a label maker and the time & cost involved to use it. I like how you used the company logos/names on your labels, nice addition to the labels. Also, thanks for showing the vent covers and the size of them, now I'll know what to look for.
No, I didn’t think you were all over the place! I found your video and explanations to be so much clearer and concise than all the many other videos! Thank you, I think I’m ready to organize my dies and stamps now!
Your video was recommended to me by RUclips based on searches I had done. I LOVED IT!!! I have seen the results of what people have done with the Avery Elle envelopes with the magnetic sheets and the labels, but I didn't have any directions. You went step-by-step showing how to do it all. Thank you. I appreciate the video and I have subscribed to your videos as a result!!!!!
I just found your channel and I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching you. I think I could listen to you read directions and I would still enjoy it. I really love the time you take with your videos. I just watched your Christmas DD and I loved how you really go over every line and explain all the supplies you have. Thanks again for making such great videos. You have a life long fan!!!!!
I have just started organizing my stamps and dies in the Avery Elle pockets. Instead of the white cardstock, tho, I just cut the stamp backing cardboard sheet down til it fits in the pocket. The name and pictures, etc, is already on it. Then I don't bother with the white cardstock, or a label.
Hi there ... not trying to tell you how to do something ... if you cut the 11" side in half (at 5.5") and then cut to the height of you envelope, you'll have less waste. I love the way you organized your supplies ... I'm going to have to buy those sleeves/envelops! Thanks for the inspiration!
You should be able to get two pieces of 5 1/2 x 7 1/4 out of one piece of 8.5 x 11 piece of paper if you will cut your 7 1/2 off the long end of the paper.
I have seen similar systems but I really like your step by step instructions. Your money saving tips are great! With the money you save you can buy more stamps.😊. Thank you.
My local office supply store cut my entire brick of cardstock for me for less than $2 for the whole job....they had it finished for in me in under 10 min. I use the printable magnetic sheets...8.5 x 11 for my die storage...they're strong enough yet nice and thin
I have resorted to using much thinner strips of the magnet sheets to store my dies. I cut them long enough to touch on both sides, preferably the shortest width across. I just double stick them to a larger card stock or I have given thought to food boxes cut down if I want it sturdier. I am not so concerned that they are all uniform or pretty at the moment as long as they don't get lost and they are in some kind of folder I can stand up and flip through by MFG. I have not decided on the folders to buy. I hear a lot about Avery Elle but so far most of my stamps and dies are just in their original packaging. I have not priced all the options in order to come to a decision. I like the look of the ones you use and both sizes. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! I didn't think you were all over the place at all. I thought it was a very organized video. I love how you did them and the magnetic sheets are a great idea. Thank you for sharing!
You can get two inserts from one pc of card stock. If you cut it down to 7 1/4" x 11, then cut it in half & you'll have 2 pcs at 5 1/2" x 7 1/4. Just an FYI! ;) Love your vids!!
A slight time-saving suggestion...when cutting the magnetic sheets (I'll use the 5" cut as an example) you mentioned the sheet was 8'"x 15" rather than line the magnetic sheet at the 5" mark, line it up at the 10" mark cut then slide the magnetic sheet to the 5" mark; then slide it toward the blade lining the end of the magnetic sheet up with the 5" mark for the second cut. Now you have three 5" cuts a tad quicker because you haven't had to reinsert the sheet. If your cutting 4" pieces like you did the first time ...first cut is lined up at the 12" mark; cut; (that piece you just cut is the piece that won't be uniform to the remainder still to cut but as you did it can be used for something else later), then slide down to 8" mark, then to 4" mark. You've then got three 4x4" pieces slightly quicker because you're not having to pick up the longer length of magnetic sheet and pass it through again. I hope this makes sense. Great demonstration with thorough explanations of what you did ...thank you :)
Love your organization...I like the idea about using the vent cover's for the magnet's...the size does look like it will work well...I'm going to give it a try...my other stuff is set up with the Avery Elle stamp bags...I love using them...
*****YES YES YES...I went to Lowe's and they didn't have anymore, then I went to Home Depot and bought the last 2...and yes, I love your idea...I have done my dies and still have some left over...in fact for Mother's Day I made a cute Shaker and used the magnet on the back for the fridge..I love to use them for lots of things...I couldn't believe how great the price was also...less then 5 bucks!
I'm so happy I ran across your video!!! After all this time, I've finally found a way that will work perfectly for me also!! Your instructions were clear and easy to follow! I can't wait to get started!! Thank you for sharing! I look forward to more of your videos!
I have been slowly moving all of mine over this way also. Just a tip: I am able to get 2 backer sheets from 1 cardstock by cutting it slightly different. I cut my sheet on the long edge down to 7' ( 8.5 down to 7) rotate this to horizontal position and cut it into 5 1/8th then trim that second piece to 5 1/8 th This gives me very little scrap and allows my backer sheet to slide in and out nicely. Your video was fantastic and very informative ! P.S. I also have to add the magnet, I dont like my sm dies floating around in there. Thank you for taking the time to film this !
I am so happy so came upon your video. I was looking for a special way to organize my stamp/dies. I am so glad you told about the Avery labels. Big money saver !
I was about to suggest the same instruction for the background of the Avery Elle pockets. All paper crafters and card makers should know this so that there is less waste.
+Erin Stevens yes I noticed this after I made the video ....I do know that's the less waste but was just how I did it at that moment. When your filming sometimes easy to make mistakes and look over things.
I agree with how expensive it would be to use the LabelMaker for your stamp storage system! I noticed on your label of My Favorite Things it looked just like the font that they actually use! How did you do that?
When I have stamps and dies all in the same set I put the dies either in a zip lock snack baggie or a zip lock sandwich baggie, depending on the size of the dies, zip them shut, and then place them in the same container with the stamps.
Might I suggest that I find it important to know how many die pieces are in each set because it's sooOoooO easy to lose the smaller pieces. If the plastic cover for the stamp set is not imprinted with the stamp images, it would also be important to know how many pieces are in that set. Spellbinders new cardboard pocket packaging for their Delights dies has all the important information printed on the front, including a image of the completed project, so all they require is the magnetic sheet. For my other dies, I bought 5" x 8", 2 Mil Clear Zipper Bags, 5 Packs of 100 for $12.98 from Amazon & lined them with transparency inserts & clear labels.
what a brilliant idea tfs..they have dvd sleeves on Ebay i think are the same size or close to the Avery Elle pockets but so much cheaper i might give them a try
My mom truly enjoyed watching UR video here on how U store UR stamps/dies,she said she was truly blessed by UR video. She'd like to know UR 1st name so when she gets around to making her very 1st debut of her craft room she can recognize all who helped her along the way. Thanks so much she says.
Hi fellow crafters :) Did you know that some chain convenience stores use magnetic boards to post their special deals ? These are changed regularly as the promotions end and often the magnetic ads are just discarded. Ask the manager at the store and you may be able to pick up large pieces of these magnetic ads for free . They are perfect for storage of metals dies .
you all prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know a trick to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost my account password. I would love any help you can offer me.
@Willie Ronald thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and Im trying it out atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Love your organization! I just started buying stamps and this is the perfect video to get me started with storing them. Thanks for sharing, hugs-Ashley
Hi Ashley, I'm glad it helped. It took me a lot of wasted money and a lot of failed 'systems' until I found one I liked and actually worked, so I just had to share hoping others don't have to waste time trying non useable storage. Thanks for watching!!!
What a great idea!!! Just looking at this video made me think of something else, you could even use a blank/clear cd case instead of bags to store dies etc...
+DoodleDeeDesigns I'm new to scrapbooking and I had a question... Can you tell me if its ok to use regular crayons/ markers to prepare a scrap book page or do you need special markers? Thanks in advance!
I like your organization for dies. I use something very similar. I realize this video is a few months old, but just a note, if you make your first 7-1/4" cut vertically and then turn horizontally and cut at 5-1/2 , you get two backing sheets out of each piece of paper instead of only 1. You're left with one 1-1/4" strip 11" long.
I actually have the magnetic vent covers from Home Depot. I have used them for several months. I love them. They keep my dies in place with no problem. I love how you store your dies with the stamps. What do you do if the dies fit more than one stamp? I thought about adding a note that the dies for this stamp set are stored in "????" stamp set. I am interested in seeing what you do with yours. Love your video. Very clear instructions. Hugs.
You can get a whole bunch of those little envelopes from amazon for storing cds. So go with amazon as they are just about the same and work out a lot cheaper
Just found your channel and this fab tutorial! Love it. Thanks for sharing! Would love to know how you make the cute sticky labels with the company logos on!! X
I love your storage solution it's just like Jennifer's but the label printing is much better your way. Thank you, thank you. I just barrow my husbands label maker he had at work but Love your way better, it easier. TFS, Olga
Your ideas are absolutely FABULOUS, and I so appreciate all of the details you gave us, so very generous of you to give us all of your ideas. You were very humble too, I have never heard of using magnetic vent covers, that was GREAT!!! I have probably a really dumb question, sorry!!! I'm not the best at all using my computer, and I noticed when you printed out your labels that the one you showed used the same font for the company name "My Favorite Things", how did you do this? Did you scan the title and the company name for each from the packaging on the stamps/dies? Sorry to ask a question that is so elementary. I am putting my stamps and dies in regular-sized binders, but am only partly done, and now cannot find the Martha Stewart clear sheets I was using for these which had flaps on each depending whether the sheet was divided in 2, or was one big sheet, or had more small pockets, so I am looking everywhere to find something similar...I live in Canada, but am a short drive from the US border, so I can always go across for shopping, which is very handy. Thanks again for your FANTASTIC tutorial, I hope I'm going to find tons more of yours, will just check it out. :)
Great organizational idea. How did you get the font or logo on the Avery 8257 labels for the company (i.e. the cursive font for MFT)? I like that because then you recognize the company easier.
Please could you do a video of what you do to make your labels so I can see what you did because I’m trying to see how easy it is and I’m trying to make some up ( but not print) before I try going these instead of my label maker Thanks
Hi Lisa! If you go to the Avery website they have templates to download to your computer. After you have downloaded the template you want, you type on it like a Word document. You can “practice/test” print on printer paper before you commit to printing on the actual label paper. I hope this helped you.
I know I had the idea of magnetic paper a couple days before seeing this video today with framelit and my fiance recommended the vents. We do understand it the same price and time saver to buy the photo paper 4x6 magnetic pages. Can't wait for them to come so I can organize. What company makes that cute Asian looking stamp with the panda hat?
I have to look into the magnetic paper for sure. At the time of the video I was wanting to start organizing fast for a week off I had so this was the 'quick' option. The stamp is from Tiddly Inks. Thanks for watching!
Yeah cutting the 11 inch side first would have worked better with less waste but what about knowing what company made the stamps and what the name of the stamp set is? Good job though getting them all done
The cutting issue was addressed many times in the comments. Just an over site when I filmed this it was the first time, and after I adjusted the way I cut the paper. Each stamp was labeled with the company name and set name, I'm not sure what you ate meaning 😊
Hi, I love the magnetic sheet to keep everything from rolling around. But what is the point of the white card stock in the envelope? I can't quite figure out why that is included? I am sure your answer will be obvious, once you tell me :) Thanks! Leslie
I have to ask how did you get the company logo on your labels? Everything was great in the video, I am about to take on the challenge to do my stamps...they look so neat and together...thanks so much for all the info...
I just went to yahoo image search and typed in the company name and the word 'logo' after the name. I than saved the images and added them in word to my labels under add image. It was a BIG job that I avoided for so long. It will be worth it. I use my dies so much more now that they are organized.
Awesome video, love how you're answering folks. I have many clear stamps that don't have that white sheet that they cling to. Is there anything I can do or buy to solve this issue?
Hi, do you mean the clear plastic that comes with the stamp set that the stamps cling to or the white cardstock backing I cut and add in. Want to make sure I'm understanding.
+Shereen Timmerman yes I understand now. I'm not 100% sure on that. They sell clear acetate sheets at craft stores and online, but be careful and do some googling. I believe I remember seeing plastic sheets that can actually harm your stamps. Maybe 'plastic storage sheets safe for cling stamps' search. Sorry I couldn't help more.
Great ideas! I've been meaning to try to find those vent covers- I actually saw someone use them in their storage too :) are they light weight? I know magnetic sheets get kind of heavy.. I so need to organize my stamps and dies but it's such a huge task for me ;) I've had the Avery Elle pockets for over a year and only tackled a small portion of my stamps- LOL! Great video! TFS!
The magnetic vent cover are super light weight, not heavy at all, you can even cut them with a regular scissors too. It took me months and months to do all of mine lol. The hard part is keeping up on it. I just gather new stamps and dies till they start getting outta control and then I force myself to sit for an afternoon and just do it.
Just found your videos. Love them! Very informative. I do have one question for you, "How do you store your stamps/or dies once you get them put into their envelopes? Curious to see, Always! Thank you.
My dies (smaller pockets) go in a decorative metal desk organizer from Staples and my stamps (larger envelopes) go in InterDesigns Fridge Binz 12inch x 15inch divided, from Bed Bath and Beyond. Thanks for watching!!
My dies (smaller envelopes) go in a decorative metal bin with a flower design from staples, and my stamps (larger envelopes) go in InterDesign Fridge Binz 12inch x 15inch Divided, by Bed Bath and Beyond. I hope that helps.
I was looking for magnetic sheets myself but also interested in knowing the type of paper cutter you are using. I have 2 old Fiskars paper trimmers but need to trade up and looking at getting a guillotine style paper cutter.
Hi, just came across your tutorial absolutelyI love it! Can’t wait to get my stuff organized! Question about the labels, and I know it may sound silly but...where do you select in MS Word that you want each label to have its own text versus one sheet with all of the same text. I’ve always struggled with this set up! Hope that makes sense! Warm hello from Chico CA 🥰
Great idea! thanks for sharing. Do you recommend your Fiskars Paper Cutter? I am in the market for a new one and really like the guides on yours. It sounds very solid and cuts seems very nice. Do you have to sharpen the blade? I would appreciate any thoughts on it if you have a chance. :)
I will have to try them and see if they are as thick. I also really like the size of the grill covers cuz the cut into perfect pieces on the size I use with no extra. 81/2 x 11 I would have to make the pieces smaller...hmmm thanks for the comment always great to have other options :)
I'm actually not using dividers, as crazy as that sounds lol. I love flipping threw them and making sure the one I have in mind is the best option. When I flip threw each time, sometimes I spot something I didn't originally think about. I do separate the larger ones and smaller ones. I use a metal holder from staples. If you would like a closer look at my holder just email me at DoodleDeeDesigns (@gmail.com) and I'll send you a picture :)
Very informative vid! What can you suggest for the clear stamps I notice that the stamps were like on clear sheet, some of my stamps are missing it, what could I use as a substitute :)
Quick question for you...I did all of this organizing and now I'm wondering how easy it is to categorize by manufacturer? I mean if you're looking for a thank you sentiment, then you have to look through all of the stamps, right? Is there another way that you've tried? Do you find this workable?
Hi Mary! I agree ...it's all what makes you most comfortable. I agree you will have to search more, but when I'm stamping I like to flip threw all my stamps when I need something. I know that sounds crazy, but sometimes there is that small random one on a set that totally gets forgotten that does say Thank You, but is on a camping set you would totally ignore under a label of 'camping/vacation' ...hope that makes sense! 😊
I only cut the magnetic to the size I need which isn't always the same size of the envelope. Some stamp sets only have a few matching dies and I now just cut a small piece of the magnet for that. The cardstock is from Walmart and a whole reem of over 100 sheets is 5$. I hope that makes sense. All the cardstock makes its less flimsy.

Sheila Perl thank you, I’m so glad it was helpful and inspired you!
Your video was recommended to me by RUclips based on searches I had done. I LOVED IT!!!

THAT magnetic vent cover is a fabulous idea for holding the dies, I love it. Thanks for the tip.
Would like to see how you make your labels on the computer. :-) Each label looks to be different. Just a quick tutorial. Love your storage ideas also.
I use tape to stick two offcuts together to make them a bit bigger so there is less wastage of the magnetic sheets.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I have been wanting to do this but I wasn't sure what magnets to use that would hold the dies. I loved it!💙💙💙
You should be able to get two pieces of 5 1/2 x 7 1/4 out of one piece of 8.5 x 11 piece of paper if you will cut your 7 1/2 off the long end of the paper.
Degirl1563 I was thinking the same thing. Cut the 7 1/4 on the long side and then cut in half and you only waste 3/4 of an inch.
That is what I thought too!
I have seen similar systems but I really like your step by step instructions. Your money saving tips are great! With the money you save you can buy more stamps.😊. Thank you.
My local office supply store cut my entire brick of cardstock for me for less than $2 for the whole job....they had it finished for in me in under 10 min. I use the printable magnetic sheets...8.5 x 11 for my die storage...they're strong enough yet nice and thin

Thanks for he share...I have recently started this hobby and purchased so many but wanted them organized and kept nicely for a long time use
Sally Allen They can be really difficult to store. I’ve tried so many failed ways and this seemed to really work fir me, and still does!
Awesome! I didn't think you were all over the place at all. I thought it was a very organized video. I love how you did them and the magnetic sheets are a great idea. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!!! :)

When I get a chance I will have to try out your cutting measurements. I really love storing mine this way, and still do!
Love the idea! However, it would have been helpful to share how you organize the packers after you have them in the sleeves.
I am so happy so came upon your video. I was looking for a special way to organize my stamp/dies. I am so glad you told about the Avery labels. Big money saver !
if you cut the 11 inch size first at 5 1/2 the turn and cut the 7 1/4 you would get 2 sheets out of one piece of cardstock and have less waste
I was about to suggest the same instruction for the background of the Avery Elle pockets. All paper crafters and card makers should know this so that there is less waste.
+Cecilia Martin I have to admit I was actually thrown that she did it the way she did instead of getting the 2 from each sheet.

What a great idea!!! Just looking at this video made me think of something else, you could even use a blank/clear cd case instead of bags to store dies etc...
Yes! True. The bags from Avery Elle are very expensive. Cd cases would be much more price efficient for sure.
+DoodleDeeDesigns I'm new to scrapbooking and I had a question... Can you tell me if its ok to use regular crayons/ markers to prepare a scrap book page or do you need special markers? Thanks in advance!
But cd cases take up more room....
love your cutting board. What kind is it
Great idea. Love that you gave the measurements, it will help me figure out how many vent covers I will need to buy. Thanks for sharing. :)
I like your organization for dies. I use something very similar. I realize this video is a few months old, but just a note, if you make your first 7-1/4" cut vertically and then turn horizontally and cut at 5-1/2 , you get two backing sheets out of each piece of paper instead of only 1. You're left with one 1-1/4" strip 11" long.
Thanks for the info, yes I've changed it since so that there is less waste. When I first did this it was a first timer kind of thing lol :)
I actually have the magnetic vent covers from Home Depot. I have used them for several months. I love them. They keep my dies in place with no problem. I love how you store your dies with the stamps. What do you do if the dies fit more than one stamp? I thought about adding a note that the dies for this stamp set are stored in "????" stamp set. I am interested in seeing what you do with yours.
Love your video. Very clear instructions. Hugs.
You can get a whole bunch of those little envelopes from amazon for storing cds. So go with amazon as they are just about the same and work out a lot cheaper
Thank you! The magnetic sheets at Office Depot are too expensive to get as much as I would need. This is great.
These are wonderful ideas! Thank-you!
You are welcome! Thank you for watching and visiting :)
Just found your channel and this fab tutorial! Love it. Thanks for sharing! Would love to know how you make the cute sticky labels with the company logos on!! X
you could cut paper on eleven inch side at 5.5 then cut 7 cut to get two pcs per 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper
I had the same thought!
If you read the comments this was already addressed many many many time lol
Lowe's, here I come! Thanks for such a fantastic idea!
Lol! Hope it works out. I still store mine like this and love it!
Funny, I bought these last week cut each one into 3 - 5” pieces. There are perfect even for the many piece dies.
Can I just add, Your Fabulous!!!!!!!!! I love the Label added to the cardstock insert! yah!!!
Loving this storage tip. Thanks.
I have two words for you, YOU ROCK! subscribed
Hi sweets.Keen to see how you printed your labels
Another fun and informative lesson. Thank you!!
Love this video so much! I appreciate it 🙏 tfs
Nice organization! Great process:)
Thank you!
Great way to store ! Thank you!
Very nice video!
I love your storage solution it's just like Jennifer's but the label printing is much better your way. Thank you, thank you. I just barrow my husbands label maker he had at work but Love your way better, it easier. TFS, Olga
+madstamper64 Thank you! I love Jennifer's methods and ideas and I love to add my own personal twist on things.
Great idea luv, I'm heading to lowes in a little bit! 💕
Your ideas are absolutely FABULOUS, and I so appreciate all of the details you gave us, so very generous of you to give us all of your ideas. You were very humble too, I have never heard of using magnetic vent covers, that was GREAT!!!
I have probably a really dumb question, sorry!!! I'm not the best at all using my computer, and I noticed when you printed out your labels that the one you showed used the same font for the company name "My Favorite Things", how did you do this? Did you scan the title and the company name for each from the packaging on the stamps/dies? Sorry to ask a question that is so elementary.
I am putting my stamps and dies in regular-sized binders, but am only partly done, and now cannot find the Martha Stewart clear sheets I was using for these which had flaps on each depending whether the sheet was divided in 2, or was one big sheet, or had more small pockets, so I am looking everywhere to find something similar...I live in Canada, but am a short drive from the US border, so I can always go across for shopping, which is very handy.
Thanks again for your FANTASTIC tutorial, I hope I'm going to find tons more of yours, will just check it out. :)
Dollar stores sell A4 magnetic sheets very easy to trim 🥰🥰
I line upside down too! LOL. Great Crafters think alike!
SaBrina Bradley it's so strange I can't do it any other way lol!
Great organizational idea. How did you get the font or logo on the Avery 8257 labels for the company (i.e. the cursive font for MFT)? I like that because then you recognize the company easier.
Just went to company sites, screen shot logo and then in word along with adding text, added the image :)
Please could you do a video of what you do to make your labels so I can see what you did because I’m trying to see how easy it is and I’m trying to make some up ( but not print) before I try going these instead of my label maker
Thanks
Hi Lisa!
If you go to the Avery website they have templates to download to your computer. After you have downloaded the template you want, you type on it like a Word document. You can “practice/test” print on printer paper before you commit to printing on the actual label paper. I hope this helped you.
I know I had the idea of magnetic paper a couple days before seeing this video today with framelit and my fiance recommended the vents. We do understand it the same price and time saver to buy the photo paper 4x6 magnetic pages. Can't wait for them to come so I can organize.
What company makes that cute Asian looking stamp with the panda hat?
I have to look into the magnetic paper for sure. At the time of the video I was wanting to start organizing fast for a week off I had so this was the 'quick' option. The stamp is from Tiddly Inks. Thanks for watching!
***** yeah. Check out photo magnet paper on amazon. That's what I use
Yeah cutting the 11 inch side first would have worked better with less waste but what about knowing what company made the stamps and what the name of the stamp set is? Good job though getting them all done
The cutting issue was addressed many times in the comments. Just an over site when I filmed this it was the first time, and after I adjusted the way I cut the paper. Each stamp was labeled with the company name and set name, I'm not sure what you ate meaning 😊
I guess I missed it. After watching you vid I went and ordered the envelopes and did just what you did. Thanks for your great idea!
What a. Great idea. Thank you so much
Hi,
I love the magnetic sheet to keep everything from rolling around. But what is the point of the white card stock in the envelope? I can't quite figure out why that is included? I am sure your answer will be obvious, once you tell me :)
Thanks!
Leslie
I am so glade I found this I love it thank you smiles
Great method and what I use. Thanks
I have to ask how did you get the company logo on your labels? Everything was great in the video, I am about to take on the challenge to do my stamps...they look so neat and together...thanks so much for all the info...
I just went to yahoo image search and typed in the company name and the word 'logo' after the name. I than saved the images and added them in word to my labels under add image. It was a BIG job that I avoided for so long. It will be worth it. I use my dies so much more now that they are organized.
Awesome video, love how you're answering folks. I have many clear stamps that don't have that white sheet that they cling to. Is there anything I can do or buy to solve this issue?
Hi, do you mean the clear plastic that comes with the stamp set that the stamps cling to or the white cardstock backing I cut and add in. Want to make sure I'm understanding.
The glossy type cardstock that the stamps are sold with. I hope this makes sense
+Shereen Timmerman yes I understand now. I'm not 100% sure on that. They sell clear acetate sheets at craft stores and online, but be careful and do some googling. I believe I remember seeing plastic sheets that can actually harm your stamps. Maybe 'plastic storage sheets safe for cling stamps' search. Sorry I couldn't help more.
Thank you!
Great ideas, thanks for sharing . . 😎 😎 😎
Great ideas! I've been meaning to try to find those vent covers- I actually saw someone use them in their storage too :) are they light weight? I know magnetic sheets get kind of heavy.. I so need to organize my stamps and dies but it's such a huge task for me ;) I've had the Avery Elle pockets for over a year and only tackled a small portion of my stamps- LOL! Great video! TFS!
The magnetic vent cover are super light weight, not heavy at all, you can even cut them with a regular scissors too. It took me months and months to do all of mine lol. The hard part is keeping up on it. I just gather new stamps and dies till they start getting outta control and then I force myself to sit for an afternoon and just do it.
Once you have all that done, how do you store them?
Just found your videos. Love them! Very informative. I do have one question for you, "How do you store your stamps/or dies once you get them put into their envelopes? Curious to see, Always! Thank you.
My dies (smaller pockets) go in a decorative metal desk organizer from Staples and my stamps (larger envelopes) go in InterDesigns Fridge Binz 12inch x 15inch divided, from Bed Bath and Beyond. Thanks for watching!!
My dies (smaller envelopes) go in a decorative metal bin with a flower design from staples, and my stamps (larger envelopes) go in InterDesign Fridge Binz 12inch x 15inch Divided, by Bed Bath and Beyond. I hope that helps.
Thanks for the great idea. What do you store them in once they are all done?
A container from Staples! I may have to do a video on it soon so you guys can all see it :)
I was looking for magnetic sheets myself but also interested in knowing the type of paper cutter you are using. I have 2 old Fiskars paper trimmers but need to trade up and looking at getting a guillotine style paper cutter.
I actually bought mine at Hobby Lobby a very ling time ago.
Hi, just came across your tutorial absolutelyI love it! Can’t wait to get my stuff organized! Question about the labels, and I know it may sound silly but...where do you select in MS Word that you want each label to have its own text versus one sheet with all of the same text. I’ve always struggled with this set up! Hope that makes sense! Warm hello from Chico CA 🥰
These magnetic sheets come in A4 size from most craft outlets, ebay & Amazon etc. Could work out less expensive.
Great idea! thanks for sharing. Do you recommend your Fiskars Paper Cutter? I am in the market for a new one and really like the guides on yours. It sounds very solid and cuts seems very nice. Do you have to sharpen the blade? I would appreciate any thoughts on it if you have a chance. :)
Yes I highly recommend it! I went with several other cutters in the past (not being happy with one after another) and tried this one, and love it.
Thank you for your quick response. Much appreciated!!
What is the name of the stamp set with the Kleenex box and germs? It’s so cute!
Oriental Trading Co. had a pack of adhesive backed magnetic sheets - 12 - 8.5 x 11" sheets for $10.50
I will have to try them and see if they are as thick. I also really like the size of the grill covers cuz the cut into perfect pieces on the size I use with no extra. 81/2 x 11 I would have to make the pieces smaller...hmmm thanks for the comment always great to have other options :)
Great ideas! Thank you!
Great video- thank you. What are you using for dividers and are you keeping the smaller sized envelopes separate from the larger ones?
I'm actually not using dividers, as crazy as that sounds lol. I love flipping threw them and making sure the one I have in mind is the best option. When I flip threw each time, sometimes I spot something I didn't originally think about.
I do separate the larger ones and smaller ones. I use a metal holder from staples. If you would like a closer look at my holder just email me at DoodleDeeDesigns (@gmail.com) and I'll send you a picture :)
+DoodleDeeDesigns
Very informative vid! What can you suggest for the clear stamps I notice that the stamps were like on clear sheet, some of my stamps are missing it, what could I use as a substitute :)
A clear piece of acetate or craft plastic (I get at hobby lobby) should do the trick...hope that helps.
Quick question for you...I did all of this organizing and now I'm wondering how easy it is to categorize by manufacturer? I mean if you're looking for a thank you sentiment, then you have to look through all of the stamps, right? Is there another way that you've tried? Do you find this workable?
Hi Mary! I agree ...it's all what makes you most comfortable. I agree you will have to search more, but when I'm stamping I like to flip threw all my stamps when I need something. I know that sounds crazy, but sometimes there is that small random one on a set that totally gets forgotten that does say Thank You, but is on a camping set you would totally ignore under a label of 'camping/vacation' ...hope that makes sense! 😊
Oh, that makes sense...I'll go with this since it's less work than breaking apart all the sets to arrange them.
Loved your video! Do you know where I can purchase the paper cutter? Thanks!
I purchased mine at hobby lobby :)
+Elizabeth P I also got mine from hobby lobby on sale from $70.00 to $40.00!!
+Marsha Wilson what name brand is it?
Where do you buy your dies, if you don't mind me asking? Thanks
Does anyone know what paper trimmer she is using? Do u recommend it?
Thanks!
hi can you please tell me what the name of your guillotine and where i can get one
It's a fiskars and I got it at hobby lobby forever ago. I bet Amazon would have it. Hope that helps.
thank you as we have look on the net and couldn't find it :-)
I love your video's where do you live and which stores can i get them from and the clear block stamp can i get them from Spotlight
I'm in the states. My clear stamp blocks I order on Amazon, I hope that helps!
+DoodleDeeDesigns that is ok thanks
What a great idea going to go to the hardware and get those order those envelopes thank you for sharing this with me
very smart! love the idea!
What software did you use for your labels
Thank you for the info!!
Where did you buy the paper cutting board.
Patsy Nunez. Vttwr Hobby Lobby a long time back, I don’t believe they carry it anymore, sorry. You may find it on Amazon? 😊
again great job!!
What are dies? I’m so confused sorry
Couldn't you just use the magnetic sheet without the card stock? It's white on the back...would save paper...
I only cut the magnetic to the size I need which isn't always the same size of the envelope. Some stamp sets only have a few matching dies and I now just cut a small piece of the magnet for that. The cardstock is from Walmart and a whole reem of over 100 sheets is 5$. I hope that makes sense. All the cardstock makes its less flimsy.
