How do your store your framelits/dies and matching stamp sets? I'm beginning to get quite a collection. Thanks.

I have 3 different storage systems depending on what they come in. My first one that I have used for 2+ years is the magnetic sheets and case by Artbin. That holds my MFT, Spellbinders, off brand dies that don't have a matching stamp set.
About 3 months ago I bought one of the fridge bins from BB&B to store my clear stamps sets in the Avery Elle envelopes in. Decided at that time that any set that had a die, the die would go right in the envelope with the stamp.
Finally I have my SU and Sizzix that come in their own pouches. I have a bin from Target that I just stand them up in.
Trying to figure out something else instead of using the Art Bin option any more as that is really heavy. Wondering if I can find the hard plastic envelopes at a cheap enough price to move them all over too.

I have 2 sets of the card making Framelit dies that came in these great plastic envelopes that are about 6" x 8". I wonder if they will sell them separately in the future? They are really sturdy and would easily hold the dies and stamps.

I'm in the process of switching my non-CTMH clear stamps into the plastic DVD holders and that works pretty well. For the few stamp sets I have that came with metal dies, I think I'll just cut a piece of magnet sheeting to stick inside the DVD holder on one side for the metal dies and stick the clear stamps in the same holder with them on the other side. I'm pretty sure I have a roll of magnet sheet stuff from my Xyron from eons ago and that ought to work--that is, if I can find it!

I will go look it up |

Most of my sets that were matching dies and stamps were PTI. I used the container they came in and have them all in a basket. Other matching sets I have in a med Ziploc bags and in a basket. I initially did the art bin thing but I then bought more and more matching sets...so had to separate them all. I really love the matching sets. I just think that is the best. Its one of my new favourite things |

I started organizing like Jen McGuire method, which is great but cost adds up fast if you have very many. I recently bought clear "treat" bags and am using those to put stamps and my thin dies in. Storing them standing up in a basket.

I store all my dies the same way, even if they have matching stamp sets. I use standard 3 ring binders and Martha Stewart secure top page protectors from Staples. I have my stamps and dies listed in Evernote so I can easily check whether there are any coordinating products.

I use DVD cases for a lot of my stamps. For matching dies, I glue a piece of magnetic sheet inside the DVD . Cheapest source of magnetic sheets are those sold as vent cover

I store my dies in the lifestyle crafts magnetic storage binders. All of my stamps are stored separately in clear storage pockets (either Avery Elle or Kaisercraft zip folder pockets). I don't have too many coordinating stamps/dies so its easy for me to know which die coordinates with which stamp.
