How do you store your dies?


Today I have a question for you

Seeing as how the product of the month is dies and they are 20% off for the month I would like to know how you store your dies?

Currently I store mine in the Avery Elle storage pockets

They come in an assortment of sizes and the ones I use are, 

Extra Large - 6 3/4" x 9 3/8" (50 Pack)
Large - 5 1/2" x 7 3/8" (50 Pack)
Small - 5 1/8" x 5" (50 Pack)

I cut a piece of white cardstock that is slightly smaller than the pocket and put that inside the pocket.

I attach a piece of magnetic sheet that is large enough to hold the die/dies.

I use my label maker to add a label to the pocket.

I write on the cardstock how many pieces are in the die set so I know I have got them all when I am packing up.


I store all of my packets in clear containers.
I have made category labels to fit into the containers so I can sort my dies 
and hopefully make them easier to find.



I always try to cut one of each die when I receive it and place it in the packet.

 I use this to try for size when I am trying to decide what to use on my project.

I store any un-used die cuts from my projects in the back of the appropriate packet.


If the die set has matching stamps I store these in the back of the packet.

I currently store these in with my die storage but not sure whether I should keep them with my stamps. 

In fact I think I have some in the stamp storage bins and some in the die storage bins.

Perhaps they should have their own bin?

I store my stamps in the same type of bins, sorted by type.

I would love to know how you store your dies and die/stamp combinations.

Looking forward to seeing your systems
Hugs
Julie
