I fell down a little rabbit hole looking for storage stuff yesterday, found this wall system that I have no space for, and I'm not actually sure what I would store in it, but it speaks to me, I love the idea of it for some reason. I like things that are easily accessible but neat and tidy, off my desk but close at hand, and I like the frosted containers. But yeah, no, not a solution to any storage problem I currently have. lol. Here's a pretty awful video of it: The owners of that company are really nice - I met the husband twice at Stamp & SB Expos and he spent time helping me figure out what might be the best configuration for me, whether using the wall system or just some boxes - for things like ribbon, for example, which are rolled up and take so much less room. I didn’t buy anything but everything was high quality and well thought out. |

Now I have my most-used/basic dies stored on 8.5x11 sheets and I use a job ticket holder as a "sleeve." This way, when I'm trying to find the right size circle die, I have all my circle dies in one sleeve/sheet and don't have to pull out multiple pockets. I put some of my dies on 2 magnetic vent covers behind a piece of cardstock in a 12x12 sheet protector. |

You are just rocking this organization stuff! What are the little label holders (look metal) on the thicker holders from sb.com? Do they make it easier to pull the container out? That is my issue with the sb.com stuff, since there's no hole or lip to pull on they are hard to shift out to look thru. The metal labels come from Target. They are supposed to go on their baskets that go in the Kallax(ish) storage. They don't make it easier to pull out though. The Thicker storage has 3 slots in each container and I just make sure not to fill the front slot so full so I can get my fingers in the front. |

950nancy Where did you get the ziptop sleeves that your Thickers are in? Amazon 6 x 12 bags. Plymor Heavy Duty Plastic Reclosable Zipper Bags, 4 Mil, 6" x 12" (Pack of 100) I have two packs of stickers in most of the bags, so they hold double (4 sheets) easily. |

I keep my dies on nine inexpensive Target mirrors. I know I've posted them a few times here. When I go to work on page or card, I'll take the dies I want off of the mirror and put them on this acrylic 8 x 10 photo holder that sits nicely on my desk. It helps me from losing my smaller dies.  8 x 10 Acrylic Picture Frame by Nancy Tim, on Flickr |

What I do love, that's new, are IKEA Kungsfors rail system that I use to hold my whale tail and flat (in the open position) punches. I have 4 of the 23" that are holding 35 punches. IKEA only had 4 in stock when I went, so I figure when I can get more, 3 more should hold all of my punches, which gets them out of drawers and off shelves, making space for other stuff. I'm a little PO'd since when I went last, they were $4.99/each and have gone up in price, but they are way cheaper than shelf-style options that cost a lot more and take up tabletop space. Thanks for posting this. Good to know that they can support punches since the rails are so slim. How long have you had them and have you noticed any bowing? A friend used a different rail system and over the years, they have starting dipping in the middle. No, definitely no bowing and I'm certain there never will be. I actually have used the previous Fintorp rails but went to the new style since those are long since retired (and sell for crazy prices used). These rail systems are intended for kitchen use and they sell hooks for hanging utensils and pots and pans on them, so they are very sturdy! |
