Once upon a time a while back when I realized I had amassed a pretty good collection of dies, it seemed to important to find a way to catalog them so, a) I would know what I had when I went to work on a project, and be) so I wouldn’t buy duplicates.<\/p>\n

Here’s the system I developed: \u00a0In order to keep your dies and\u00a0embossing\u00a0folders straight, first cut each one out of white cardstock. \u00a0(This is a great way to use the white inserts that come with your page protectors.) Then mount them on 12″ x 12″ sheets of black cardstock. \u00a0The embossed pieces are colored with a little ink to make the design more clear. \u00a0These are then slipped into page protectors and clipped together for easy reference.<\/p>\n

When I first started this system, my goal was to fit as many samples as possible on each sheet. \u00a0Like this:<\/p>\n

\"organizing-dies-before\"<\/a><\/p>\n

However, I’ve found it can be hard to really see<\/em> what’s there. \u00a0So now not only am I giving each die more space of its own, but I’m visually separating them with 1\/4″ strips of cardstock.<\/p>\n

Also, keeping the different types of dies on different sheets is helpful. \u00a0So each of the Tim Holtz Alterations dies has its very own quarter sheet. \u00a0All the long strip dies (like the film strip) are on their own sheet and all the embossing folders are together. \u00a0The Spellbinders are all on one sheet, too.<\/p>\n

The final step in keeping track of your dies & embossing folders is to photograph the sheets and make a print out to keep in your purse. \u00a0Here are six sheets all together which prints nicely on a standard 8.5″ x 11″ sheet.<\/p>\n

(The red, green and yellow strips let me know which size of Sizzix die to look for, as their large are red, medium are yellow and small ones are green.)<\/p>\n

So, whaddya think? \u00a0Do I need to buy more?<\/p>\n

Happy creating (and organizing!)<\/p>\n
