If so, where did you get them? I need to convert my Framelits to a magnetic sheet to make it easier to use them. Just curious if you've found an alternative you like better than the original package.
Thanks!

I store my thin metal dies in an old CD holder. It zips closed, has clear pockets and holds 64 full sets.

I buy magnetic vent covers. ( Home Depot or walmart) and cut them to the size I need. I pt strips of magnet in DVD cases to hold dies and matching stamps together . I keep other dies in cd size files

I use the art bin magnetic sheets but the vent covers are probably more cost effective ........

I use regular 3 ring binders and martha stewart secure top page protecters. I put a piece of card stock in each pocket and hold dies in place with magnetic sheets I bought off our version of eBay. The vent covers are probably more cost effective but I've found a source I like and just buy as I need them.

I have the artbin kind. I bought the container though from Mike's as recollections has the exact same one...so with coupon etc..was a lot cheaper.
the art bin one is limiting to me. The size isn't great.
I just saw that a larger one has now come out I think Crafters Companion.
I have a few qk magnetic folders and they are my favourite.
I do have my QK fonts store on vent covers in the little 4x6 photo cases
My stamp and die sets I am not storing in Ziploc bags, if the packaging doesn't allow the two to be together. And then stored in a shoe box.
Its getting to be a lot though. Maybe I should stop buying dies...Nope I don't think that will work..just need to deal with it |

I think I'm going with the bins from Stamp 'n Storage. I really like the magnet cards they offer because they're backed w/chipboard which makes them sturdy.
Thanks for the other suggestions. They lead me to find out about this website.

I use the Art Bin cases with the magnetic sheets in them. So far they work for me.

I use three ring binders. It is filled with cardstock that I have attached these pockets too. They have an adhesive strip on the back and stick right on with no problems. Avery Pocket Tabs on Amazon |

Those magnetic pages are kinda heavy. Are the vents pretty lightweight?

They lead me to find out about this website. Those are really nice looking I placed an order for the medium size bin w/o a lid & the 20 pack magnet sheets. I'll follow up once I receive it and let y'all know my opinion. |

I have the Art Bin which works great for the amount of dies I have. Some of the magnetic panels have a slight curve though. But not bad enough to cause a problem.

I use the 5x8 pockets from Office Depot, with a piece of magnetic sheet inside.  I confess, sometimes I use the magnetic signs that come glued to the front of the local phone books with a doctor or lawyer's office on it. I flop that over and attach it to white cardstock a little smaller than 5x8 (lawyer side down criss crossed with ATG adhesive). I also have the vent covers from Home Depot that can be cut to size. The freebie magnets aren't as strong as the vent covers, but they are in a pocket anyway so the dies can't get very far as long as I don't turn them over. If the set has a lot of little pieces, I write how many belong on it with a silver sharpie. Now those pockets aren't available from Office depot anymore so I will probably order the Averey Elle pockets. Averey Elle pockets But I like the Office Depot ones and I haven't felt the Averey Elle ones to know how good they are. Organizing my dies is a work in progress. The dies that go with a stamp set are in the same pocket as the stamps (along with any extras I've cut out but maybe not colored yet). |

Remember the Xyron 850? I have one of those from back in the day, and I know I have a magnetic refill cartridge for it somewhere! It's one of the things I need to find when I can finally get all of my stuff unpacked. I'm sure it would work great inside the same DVD holders I use for my stamps. I like things to be uniform, so all of the oddball mismatched packaging has to go.
