Hi everyone! Welcome to another installment of Five Days to an Organized Crafty Stash with My Favorite Things!  Today we’re sharing our ideas for managing Die-namics. 

Necessary statement:  I attribute 90% of my stamp room organization to Jennifer McGuire and her incredibly creative and brilliant ideas.  I cannot thank her enough. (You can find her info on die organization here.) 

I purchased two of these refrigerator bins from Bed, Bath & Beyond. They’re a bit pricey (for bins) but worth every penny.  (Plus I had a coupon for each.) I use one bin for dies and a second for stamps.

Here’s a close-up of my labels.  The categories are basically in order of most used. (I hate to dig through things.)

I use this label maker and tape to label my Blu Raspberry dividers. I’ll eventually switch the dividers out for something more sturdy but for now they work great!

I accidentally bought black on white tape once so you may notice a white label. I’m not picky enough to peel it off and replace, but I do prefer clear.  

ETA:  Free downloadable files are now available HERE for printing labels for MFT stamps, dies, stencils, etc.

I purchase these magnetic sheets from my local Home Depot (about $4), cut to size and adhere to Sweet Tooth card stock to place in each sleeve.

I had originally used three types of sleeves for my dies but I’m transitioning down to two.  And they just happen to now be available here in the MFT store.  🙂

Here’s a sample of my dies on the magnetic sheets. *So happy*   

I keep the label maker on my desk but everything else is stored in a basket on a shelf over my dies.

I cannot begin to tell you how great this system works for me. It took a while to get organized as I already had a LOT when I started but it was worth every minute, every penny. I already thanked Jennifer once, but I will thank her again.  And again. And again. ♥

I file most of my stamps in this bin from Bed, Bath & Beyond.

Each stamp set is placed into one of these clear pockets and filed under the appropriate category.

If the set has coordinating Die-namics dies, I adhere a magnetic sheet to the back of the white insert so all pieces are kept neatly together.

I use these vent covers (magnetic sheets) available from Home Depot for about $4 per pack.

Pure Innocence sets are filed in a basket on one of my shelves, sorted by holiday, birthday,  miscellaneous, etc.

Background stamps are stored in a basket as well.
