This is long overdue! I promised quite some time ago that I would share how and where I store my dies. I have different types of dies, but right now the ones I use most are the thin metal dies. I’ve tried a number of storage situations but knowing myself, I work best when things are within an arms reach and if they are organized and labelled. I found a large Media Rack and installed (secured to the wall) on the left side of my crafting desk behind my computer. I love this because it takes no desk space!
I’ve learned that if there’s something I have to get up to get for, if it’s something I have to dig through or if it is still in a package – I’m not likely to use it. That’s my truth :-). I’ve said before, I tend to be a die-centric paper crafter – in other words the die comes first then the stamps, paper and colors fall in after that. My other ‘truth’ is that it’s easy to lose die pieces when I’m creating. For that reason, each die set has it’s own container and once done, all the pieces are put back in and that set is put away. When I’m creating I have a shelf (see below) where I put the sets I’m currently using and because each set has magnet in the case – if something’s missing – I can tell right away (yes, this happens all the time). Lol, you can see how worn my labels are – this is a system that has grown with me over the years and the dies get a lot of use :-)
Random Notes:
I store large die sets in Clear DVD Cases and small sets in Clear CD Cases with magnetic sheets on one or both sides.. Extra large dies are stored in a binder (see my thoughts on that below). I have several groupings – these make sense to my workflow and might not make work with your workflow but it helps me locate what I need: My groups are Labels, Shapes, Card Creator, Accents and Motifs, Flowers, Borders, Expandables, D’Lites, In’Spires, Cut-Tuck-Fold and several other smaller subsets. The colors on my labels have to do with the year the die was released because I try to use new dies along with old dies and it helps me locate them quickly.
The media rack was purchased at Best Buy here and while it is no longer available in store, it is available online. These racks can be found in many stores and other locations online. If I can open up enough wall space in my craft room, I’m looking to add a similar rack to include my stamps :-)
Look around, there are tons of great ways to store dies, it just happens that this is the best way for me. I found that binders were too heavy for me to lift (I still store my Grand Dies in binders for the few occasions that I use them). I also found that if my thin dies were not contained, that they were lost too easily. Lastly, I found I could not keep them in original package because when it comes down to getting them out, they were not getting used.

Question Parking Lot:
If you have any questions about this die storage, feel free to leave your question in your comments and I’ll continue to edit this post to include the answers.
1. Debra Burgess, comment #7, asked a question about which case this was. My link above (Clear DVD Case) will take you directly to the product I order. If you are searching the TapeOnline Site – use this information: TOL Part #: Super Jewel Box King Tray Manufacturer’s Part #: 32.C Model: King Size One / Two Jewel Box / Rubber Stamp / Die Case Product ID: 2636
2. Pam Roth, comment #77 asked where I get the heavy duty cases. All the links are above – simply click on Clear DVD Case or Clear CD Case. Also, I wanted to make sure you know they are not heavy duty. They are just like every day acrylic cases that you use for movie and computer CD/DVD’s because that’s what they are. Mine have stayed in good shape because of the way they are stored here. Every now and again I have to replace the small CD cases which have more fragile tabs but I have yet to have to replace a DVD case. Mine have always arrived from Fedex intact, but if the mailman had a bad day and thew the box down, they may break.
3. Dottie Davis, comment #79 asked how to store extra die cuts. Glad you asked Dottie . . . when I get a new die, I cut it right away. I do that so that I can see how it cuts and want to make sure it cuts perfectly. For the first six months, I keep those extra die cuts in the case. That way when I pull it down I have a sample right there. After six months I have no doubt used the die several times and those extra cuts go in my die cut drawer. I can’t tell you how often something from that drawer goes onto a new card – it was just in the right place at the right time!! Never throw those away, they come in handy in for card planning!!
4. Barb Parker, comment #86 asked how I reach stuff at the top. I’m blessed to be almost 6 feet tall :-) But I do have a step stool in my craft room. It’s a fairly small room and to make the room work, I’ve gone vertical!
5. Sarah, comment #142 asked if the full sheet or half sheet magnet was needed for a DVD case. Depends on what your full sheet is Sarah. If your full sheet is the one purchased at tapeonline, it is sized 4.75″ x 7″ which fits the full inside of one half of a DVD case. You could cut it in half if you only wanted half of one side of the dvd case filled. I use full 4.75″ x 7″ sheets.
6. Jessica, comment #243 asked if I know how many dies I have. LOL no, I don’t count them :-) I’ve never been in a race to have more but have known for a long time that die cutting is my thing, the thing I enjoy. What you see here are primarily Spellbinders dies but I have a hefty collection of Accucut, Sizzix (many original) and Memory Box dies along with Dayco, ZipeMate, Original Spellbinders and Quikutz. These of course aren’t shown because they are larger and I have a different type of storage. At any rate, back to the original question…the number varies because I trade, buy and switch depending on my style. Keep in mind, I’ve been a die cutter since before the first Sizzix was released in 2001. I used to go to our County School Board building, paper and kids in tow, to use Ellison die cut machines and some of the several hundred Ellison dies they had for teachers use. Although I wasn’t a teacher, the kids and I had craft day all the time and I used my Dayco dies for cutting quilts. I got my first professional die cut machine – Accucut GrandeMark in 2003 and got my first digital die cut machine – The Craftrobo Pro in 2005. That said, almost 15 years is a long time to collect :-)
6. Jean C, comment #244 and Mary Kimes, comment #263 asked about the baskets that hang over my media shelving holding dies. They were purchased at IKEA.
7. Beth Ellis, comment #268 asked what program I used to make my spine labels. I used Excel and dropped the names into a regular spreadsheet grid and colored the columns. I did this because the ACE Sheets are a recent addition at Tapeonline. I used a whole page sticker sheet but will be very honest, my labels don’t stick well and I have to continually reinforce them with a dot of glue.
8. Margie Luttrell, comment #322 asked how do I remember which set I want when creating. For each type of die I keep a current catalog – either on my computer or printed (I prefer printed) and I flip through the catalog to look at shapes instead of hunting through the dies themselves. Also I go to my extra die cuts drawer when I’m not quite sure what I want….
9. Linda R, comment #374 asked about the catalog I use . . . great question Linda! So the answer is why reinvent the wheel? I simply download the latest Spellbinders Catalog. It says in a drawer to the left of the desk you see in the picture. Inside that catalog I mark what I have, what’s retired and what I’d like to get :-) I have the same system with my Accucut and Sizzix dies – I keep both current and past catalogs in my handy dandy catalog drawer.
10. Ann Robbins, comment #377 asked if I buy my dies. There’s really no set simple answer to this . . . in fact, this so made me smile. I liken it to the Christmas that I thought I would work in a yarn shop to make money for Christmas. I already hear your laughter!! I made not a cent of extra money for Christmas but there’s sure a lot of yarn at my house and in the end everyone was happy.
Lover the last 6 months I have tried many options for storing my dies. I saw your blog a few months ago and tried it. I love it and have converted to using cd and DVD cases. It is great. Thanks much for sharing this with us.
What an inspiration! My studio is a mess now. You got my ideas rolling! Ty!
I’ll have a new space next week and I need it to be easy to work in. This storage idea is great
I’m getting ready to move and would love a fresh start for my new studio.
Love this idea! Thanks so much for sharing.
Becca I am forever looking for ways to store my dies and stamps.. It seems I am always in organize mode and I swear sometimes I spend more time organizing than I do creating! I think this rack will definitely work for me for my dies and stamps! Thanks for sharing this with us and for the giveaway!!
Becca, which cases are these. I went to the tape online to look and they all show with a disc holder on one side. Is there a certain item number you use to order them…LOVE this idea..i too if I don’t have them in front of me then I don’t use them. Awesome storage!!!!!
OMG…Becca…I absolutely love your storage system…my dies are all over the place…and to keep them in one area that I can see and know that I would use is totally Fabulous…the Giveaway is the cherry on top…thanks so much for sharing.

Take Care

Oh wow! I love this storage system – so neat and organized! This is a fantastic giveaway! Thank you for sharing your crafting room with us!
“WOW” sums up my first impression of your storage system! WOW! Looks like you have everything very well organized, and I am in awe of how you can determine which dies work well with other dies – you are fantastic at compiling a card using dies from different sets. Thank you for sharing this, and also for the opportunity to win such a nice prize!
Thank you for all of your great cards and organizational skills. You are one talented woman!
Love those clear cases. I have some. They work well.
dear becca thank you so much for the wonderful cards and other things you make I love your system would love to do that thank you for sharing your inspiration with us would love to win those prize!!!
I’m having a drool-fest over the organization of your dies. Love, love, love it!! I can only hope to be as organized as you someday!
A wonderful prize that would get lots of use in my craft room as I love dies as well.
I love your die storage system, Becca. I wish I had the room to use it. I use notebook folders with magnetic sheets and you are so right. Those folder are very heavy and hard to lug around. But it works for the storage space I have, so I stick with it.
Your craft area/storage is amazing! Thanks for the prize chance.
Thanks for such a generous giveaway! I am from Canada but that’s ok. I’m very inspired by your clean workspace and I am always losing stamps – especially the small clear acrylic ones or dies. I usually find them once I clean up but I’m frustrated by my lack of organization.
Wow! As generous as ever Becca! I love your system, I only wish I had the WALL space to do this with. I have BIG windows on three sides and the forth side has a smaller window that swings out to open. BUT — the cases could be used in a different setu-up, of course! Thanks for the chance to win!!!
Would absolutely love to win this storage system. My dies are lined up in their original packaging, to keep them together.
Wow! Great Pin-spiration! I will definitely be pinning this to my “Craft Room Organization” board. Thanks for the great ideas…and the chance for blog candy!
Great storage system. I always look forward to your blog entries you give us so much useful information plus we get to see your beautiful creations. Thanks for sharing with us.
Love your die storage. I’m using those cases also. Great way to store dies.
I’ve used CD cases for a while but LOVE the larger DVD cases and the magnetic sheets. It would be wonderful if random.org chose my number on the 20th as that is my birthday! ;-) Thanks, Becca for the opportunity to be in the mix.
I love the media case. Wish I had seen it before I signed a contract for renovation to my craftroom. However, I’m totally blessed, as I’ll have countertops and still a great desk for crafting. I love the DVD case and magnets. Followed your advice a few years back and bought 100 magnets from the company you recommended, but have lost the internet site. Thanks for sharing your room – it’s great! Like the idea of everything being CLOSE at hand!
Looks like a great system! Wishing I had walls high enough for the media storage unit – I stamp in the ‘bonus room’ over the garage and the slope to the ceiling begins at just over 4 feet…
Becca I love that you shared your craft area with us and I really LOVE your how organized your dies and supplies are. Thanks for the information!!! I love your cards and wish I was as creative as you.
Wow Becca! I thought I had a lot of stuff, and I do, but nothing near what you have. I love the storage area and think you have done a beautiful job with your maintaining and arranging what you have. I love your work and love your hints, tips and tricks. Please keep your blog going for those of us wanna-be’s. That is wanna-be like Becca. Thanks for sharing with us.
WOW, I love your die storage. It would sure help me to become more organized and make my SIL extremely happy, since I live with one of my daughters and her husband ( who loves well planned organization)
I also love all your beautiful cards and creations. Blessing to you
Your workspace looks so neat. I could certainly use some organization! I like the idea of your labeling system too. Thank you for giving us a chance to win this great give-away!
Oh my goodness, your room looks like paper crafting heaven to me!!! I can only imagine how many die sets you must have! I’ve been storing my dies in their packaging on a Clip-It-Up, but that’s really not a good system for me – I spend more time spinning that thing around looking for a specific die than I do actually using the die once I find it! LOL! Would love to give the CD cases a try! Thanks so much for the chance to win!!
Thank you for your inspiration. I love your work. I went to this system awhile back and it is probably the best way to store dies. Thanks for the chance to win.
This is awesome! I’ve been using a makeshift version of the CD case/magnetic sheet by recycling old CD cases, and cutting magnetic sheets to fit them. Not as neat as your system but it works for the dozen or so dies I’ve been able to accumulate. Appreciate your directions on this.
Wow! What a fabulous workspace, so neat and tidy! I love the idea of storing dies in cd cases and have some of mine there already. I didn’t know what to store the larger dies in, until now. I will have to order some of these cases if I am not the lucky recipient of your giveaway. Thanks for sharing your creative space, it is just divine!
I would love to see your craft room, it is so organized.
WOW! I love organization but yours is beyond anything I can imagine. I love the cases and use them with other forms of storage. Thank you for sharing!
Storage is a problem I have and when something is needed very difficult to find. Viewing your space one can see what is encased very easily. My prayers are that I am the recipient of this wonderful give away. What better gift than a storage keeper. Fingers are crossed.
Your storage system rocks!! I have been trying different things to store my die cuts and your system seems the best. I went to the website, but can you tell me which of the CD and DVD cases you order? I really do want to try your system.
You sure are well organized and what a wonderful workplace.
Thank you for this giveaway opportunity
Becca, your organizational tips are so helpful. You are right-if you can’t find it you will never be able to use it. So thanks for sharing what works for you. It helps all of us.
Awesome give away. I only dream of a craft room like yours. Someday…
These look awesome! Great give-away
Dear Becca,
I am Super Amaized with your talent!!! Right now I am having a twenty-one gathering and everyone here is in awe of your creations!!! There are many ooo’s & awe’s here!!!
Thank you for sharing!
Gay
I use those same DVD cases. Sure would love to win some more. Thanks for the chance. Hugs, Nellie.
I really like your way of storing your dies. I like the idea of the magnetic sheets. Thanks for your generosity in sharing your organizational tips with us.
Becca, you are helpful and inspirational in so many ways. Thank you for the lead to Tape Online. I also store my dies in DVD cases and my source just quit manufacturing them, so I am delighted to learn about Tape OnLine
I’ve had a similar storage idea for many of my clear stamps…but have yet to find a satisfactory one for my dies as they need to be portable for classes etc. not just in my studio.
Thank you for recognizing those of us not in the US. You’re very generous to provide a gift in lieu of the cases. <3
I absolutely love these DVD cases and magnets. I first learned about this from you, Becca, and am now in need of some additional cases and magnets. These work beautifully for my dies. Thanks for the opportunity.
Becca – I think I just had a Nirvana moment, like you if I can’t see it I won’t go digging but sometimes that is what happens, I love your system that is just awesome, thanks so much for sharing your space.
Hi Becca! I LOVE this way of storing dies! I’ve used these ever since you first mentioned them – quite some time ago. I’m running out of these wonderful storage devices so I just had to get my name in the drawing!
Such a neat storage area, Becca! I can imagine you crafting away whilst many of us are searching for that elusive die :o)
Thanks for sharing and for the opportunity.
Hugs
Anne (UK) x
I also store my dies in cd and dvd cases. Love them. I have quite a few but your collection is to die for. Love all of the cards you make and have been following you since you started blogging. Your are a great inspiration. Thanks
Many thanks for the give away. I am still exploring ways to store my dies.
To have some of these cases would be wonderful. At present I use zip lock bags in a binder and a plastic bin for storage. I live on a pension so money is very very tight and I try to use my dies to the max. Your blog is a wonderful place of inspiriation. I live internationaly but would pay for the frieght for the cases if I won.
Thanks so much for sharing pics with us, it helps visualise your storage and given me ideas on how to arrange my own (smaller) collection, but the size of your collection is mighty impressive!
What an amazing system you have come up with. I’ve now accumulated enough dies that I’m beginning to wonder what the best system might be and yours certainly looks like a well organized one. I’d love to win some goodies to get my dies in order! Thanks for the info.
Thank you so much for sharing you storage ideas. Wow, very impressive. I have always been curious about your crafting space. Your creations are always so beautiful and unique., Its great to get an idea of where you work.
Oh Becca! You have a lovely storage system! Thank you for sharing it with us.
HOLY MOLY! You have a lot of dies! I imagine the companies send them for you to use and you don’t have to buy them. NICE! No wonder you can use everywhich combination of dies on your cards. I have some of TAPE ONLINE cases and magnets. I need some more cases because seeing you and other designers using the dies to make some beautiful cards I HAVE to purchase more dies so I can scraplift those cards. ;)
I would love to see your craft room. I bet you have some really neat organizing tips. You have to with all that product. My daughter thinks I have too much supplies, I need to show her your room.
I have ordered previously from TapeOnLine per your recommendation and have been very happy with them. I am in need of more DVD cases due my increasing use of dies. Thanks for the chance to win.
I started using these DVD cases and magnets after you recommended them. I feel so organized!
Yay!! Another chance to win these great cases. I love them, esp for the long Spellbinders that won’t fit in the ‘normal’ size CD case.
LOVE your work Becca :)
Hugs, Diana
Amazing by name and Amazing by nature. That’s you. Many thanks, Aiveen.
Becca my mouth dropped when I saw your storage system. Just brilliant and something I have to do.. thank you for showing us and giving us the chance to win one of your great cases. You are an inspiration to a lot of us.
Hugs Trish.
Becca,
I still have to organize my dies but have been procrastinating. This would be a great “kick-start” for me!
Carol b (cc)
Awesome storage !! The wall is amazing!! Thanks for the chance to win!!
I hate disorganization, but I find as I get older and am doing cards that I am not as organized as I used to be. You have a perfect set up. Love it. Your cards are beautiful and a blessing to many. Thanks for allowing us to visit.
Wow, how nicely organized your craft space is! I’d love to try these out.
Thanks
Wow, wow, wow and wow!!!
I showed my husband and he said ok I know that has given you ideas!!!! What can he mean???? I simply love the idea
Love Nicola xxxxx
I so need to organize my dies. This system sounds so simple and I adore your space.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Wow – your work space looks amazing. I can certainly appreciate that with all the bits/layers you put on to your cards, that being organized is very important. Thanks for sharing your work domain with us and for the opportunity to win (even if we live in Canada).
Love the organization I use the DVD and CD cases as well but usually use old ones that the CD has been stored by other means so new cases would be great.
Thanks for the opportunity to win!!!
Love, love your work
This would be a fabulous way to get all my dies organized!! Thanks for the chance to win.
It’s so interesting to see how you store all your dies Becca. I don’t qualify for your kind storage offer as I’m in the UK, but it’s very sweet of you to make alternative arrangements for us – thank you :)
WOW BECCA! Your work space is AMAZING! I love the organization! I think with all the dies you have, you would HAVE TO have a system & this looks GREAT! I’m SURE you have to organize as soon as you get something new to keep everything straight or organizing would be all you would be doing! LOL LOOKS FABULOUS REALLY, BECCA! Thank you for sharing your tips in paper crafting AND your organization ideas! We need all the help we can get! LOL (((Hugs!!!)))
Your organizing is outstanding.
I wish I had that much wall space…where did you find heavy duty CD cases?I bought some HP ones and they cracked and the hinges broke easily. I finally put mine in SU DVD cases.
I have been using this method since you first blogged that that is how you store your dies. I had originally had them on magnetic sheets in protective sheets in a binder, but you’re right, they get way too heavy. Anyway, currently, I have more dies than cases, so this would be a great prize to finish organizing. Again, thanks for all of your creations/ideas.
Thanks for sharing your organization for dies method. After seeing this on your blog a few years back I switched to organizing my dies the same way. I have heard of other methods, but to me, this works the best. The only thing I wished I would have done is put one die set in a case instead of two. Hindsight, so half of mine have two sets and the other half one set. I tried the spray adhesive on the first half, trying to save money, but they are coming off. Where I used the self adhesive magnets, have stayed put. The little thin dies sent from Sizzix, I leave in the plastic pouch lined on their sides in a decorative shoe box. I can pull these out easily. One problem I am befuddled with is how to organize my extra die cuts. Seems when I do a project there are always some that are experimental but nice that I don’t want to throw away. Got any ideas Becca? Like the others I too would love to see how you organize the rest of your craft room…it may help me a bunch! Thanks for the opportunity for win these CD & DVD cases. They would be awesome to win and finish what I started.
Thank you, Becca, for showing your die storage. You could not have posted for me at a better time: my craft room is so small and I have numerous dies. I am finally moving my craft room to a larger room and I am trying to figure out how to store my dies. I wrote Spellbinders asking if I could buy empties of their new packages (which I love!) but they were unable to do so. Since their response I have been searching the web looking for the best solution. This may work!
Thanks, Becca! And thanks for the chance! Have a good weekend. :)
This is fantastic!….your system is amazing and inspiring….I have an enormous amount of dies that could benefit from your system….
Hello Becca,
It makes my heart happy to see the lovely work space you have created and work in! It shows how much thought and care you take in what you do.
Thank you for the opportunity to post my name for the give away. You are such a blessing to so many, may God continue to richly bless you back in return…
Eliana
I really like this storage system. It is similar to mine but I am going to incorporate more of your system into mine. Thanks for sharing.
Hey, Becca! Thanks for sharing your system! I was trying to figure out what the heck I was going to do about die storage and this post was extremely helpful! Thanks! Melinda
Becca, I am blown away by your craft space, and what we see of it! You are so very organized and that is my goal. I have been debating what to do with my dies and this truly looks like the way to go! Thanks so much for a chance to win! Hugs and blessings, Sabrina
This storage system is the best I have ever seen…would love to start one for myself and winning some cases would be awesome ! One question…how do you reach the stuff up top ? !! :>)
Wow Becca, super cool organizational skills at work! I wish ;-)
Like another poster said, I spend more time trying to organize my supplies than using them. Thanks for sharing your work space. Love your cards, love your blog, love your inspiration <3
Wow!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
God bless you Becca!)
OMG Becca…your storage system is wonderful!! I too have struggled with storage of my dies as I’m sure thousands have!! I currently have my dies stored in ArtBin’s that come with about 4 metal die “sheets” and then you can purchase additional die sheets from them. They do accommodate quite a number of die sheets, and I used a Label Maker to put labels all over the front of the case to show me what dies are contained within. While this is an okay way to store my dies, the bad thing is….when you open the case to flip through the different die sets, some of the dies slide off the die sheet, and they get quite heavy when you are searching to the last set of dies in the case!!! I would LOVE to win this giveaway and store them neatly but separately in their own case. I already have a wall sized metal shelving unit that has adjustable shelves that I could store them in! I’ll keep my fingers crossed that random.org picks me!! Thanks so much for the chance!
Becca, I love those DVD cases. I store my dies on one side and matching stamps on the other side. Now I have what I need in one place.
wow, you sure do pack a lot of stuff in a small area. i’m in awe of that. thanks for offering this starter set. it looks very easy to use.
Love your storage! I love having my stuff organized so it is easy to use. And if it isn’t easy to use, it doesn’t get used. Thanks for sharing.
I love to see your organization, this is very helpful
Becca you always have such great ideas for cards and decorations, The same can be said for your ideas for storage and organization. I have been following you on email for about 3 years now. You are amazing.
Sincerely,
Kathleen
That is so cool. A great storage idea.
Thanks for sharing your ideas, Becca! It is always great to get new ideas and ways to store all of my “guilty pleasures”. Lots of Love from Nova Scotia!
How awesome! I have a touch of ‘storage envy’
I really enjoy reading how you store your different items. They are always very helpful!
I am so very impressed with your die arrangement. Love the labeling and organization. It’s WONDERFUL! I need to work on how to label my dies and then organize them. So far I’ve been grouping like things…butterflies, poinsettias, etc rather than by set or manufacturer. Not sure of what the best system is.
Very neat and extremely functional. Is it easy to keep it all together when working on projects?
Thank you so much for sharing your dies, etc. You are very organized and I love it. Also thank you for giving us the opportunity to win some wonderful eye candy. :)
I have a real weakness for buying cutting dies. I LOVE them and cannot put down my credit card to buy them online. Because of this I have my dies stored on their original cards. (I know this is not a good idea) But I like your storage. It’s organized and very neat. You have inspired me. Thanks for sharing.
This is so wonderful, would love to get this organized!
What a great give away! Thanks for the chance to get organized!
I, too, use magnets, but your stash of dies far out does mine. As I redo my area, perhaps a media wall for stamps and dies could be the answer. Thanks for sharing.
I just ordered my first thin metal dies a few days ago. Can’t wait for them to arrive. I so appreciate the experience-based tips that you have shared. I will benefit from your knowledge as I begin to develop my own organizational plan for storing my new goodies.
Certainly agree with your thoughts about using supplies and putting them right back in place. I follow this “rule” with my cling stamps as I am terrified of losing them in all the crafting rubble. :)
Holy smokes that is a lot of dies! Love how you have organized them! Looks great and easily accessible. thanks for the chance to win.
Hi Becca
Love how you store all your dies. I store the smaller ones in CD cases and my larger ones in the stamp cases I get from Stamping Up and put magnetic sheets in them, as I do in the CD cases. Sure would love to win the cases but I am not in the US. I am in Ontario, Canada
Keep making all your lovely cards, you inspire me to mix up my dies and try new ways of using them.if I don’t have the dies you have used I try dies that I do have that may do the same thing.
You sure have a great system for organizing your dies. I LOVE it. I would also love to get organized like you’ve shown.I Would Love to win this! :)
Your crafting room is so elegantly beautiful and organized. Love the way everything has it’s place and all your dies are easily accessible. I wish I was half as organized as you Becca. Thank you for the great giveaway prize and opportunity to win. Have a very blessed weekend. :)
I love your storage idea. I’m forever trying to come up with ideas and this one makes sense, and doesn’t take up a lot of space, as you’ve indicated. I too, like things easily accessible (both to see and get to). I may have to seriously consider this set up because there is space just above the computer that will work! Thanks for sharing your ideas and links – it makes things so much easier!
OMG!! I LOVE the brief look we had of your craft/scrap area!! It is AMAZING!!
I would LOVE to win this set of DVD cases and give this way of organizing my dies a try!!
Thanks for the opportunity!!

WOW! You sure have a lot of dies. Love the organization. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! I would love to be organized like you. You really showed that it can be done. It would be a real treat to win this prize. Does your room always stay this neat?
WOW! This is a fabulous idea, and I will be trying it. I have dies, here, there and everywhere – in plastic cases, in magnetic boxes, on magnet sheets on the wall. All of them tedious.
The looks like a fabulous solution. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your storage ideas Becca!
This is a fabulous system! If I only had a craft room … :)
Becca, would love to win these. My dies are stored in three different places right now and really need some organization. Love the cards you do and just wish I had a tenth of your creativity.
Wow Becca
I feel so ashamed to ever put my craft organization on a blog like yours–your place is AWESOME–I felt that I did not want to talk too loud–I thought I was back in the school library so organized and such a delightful place to be. Yours is just the same. Thank you so much for sharing—you are one artistic woman. WOW!!!!!
I need this so bad to get organized. I’ve tried several things but this looks like it would really work well.
I have been storing my thin dies on magnetic sheets in a binder. It doesn’t take up too much space, but it is so heavy now that it has turned into a chore to lift it. I think now I will switch to DVD cases and look into TapeOnline. Hopefully I can find enough shelf space to house the cases. Thank you for this great helpful hint.
Based on your recommendation I have some of these already and would certainly put more to good use.
Great idea using different sized cases for different sized dies. I’ll have to make more time and just get properly organised.
Loved seeing your workspace! Always interesting to see all the creative variations is spaces as well as creations!!
I could not believe these were all die storage; so divinely done. I need to become more disciplined for storage and organization; thanks for the drawing and the inspiration
Sigh… still in photo boxes here! Love your organization – that’s the only way to get anything done. Have a blessed day!
My dies are stored in old colored DVD cases. Put I would prefer the clear cases like you use. This way the dies are not “out of site; out of mind” I wish I had your collection of cutting dies. Someday, I hope my design skills match your talent. This may take a lifetime.
Thank you for sharing your die storage! I would love to have a system like this!
Robin
WOW! What a wonderfully organized craft room you have! Thanks for the opportunity to win some storage cases!
Great organization. Sometimes wish I was going to move so I could start all over again! Love that storage piece. You’ve motivated me to get down to the craft room and get working on organization. It’s a total mess. Thanks for sharing!
Love all your hints and tips. I find them very helpful. TFS, Cel
Thanks for this info – I am moving into a new craft room shortly and this will be great for my dies!! Ordering right away.
oooh, I have wanted to do this for ages but shipping to Australia is sooo expensive. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that my lucky number will come up!! Thanks so much Becca for offering these goodies. You are a star!!
Wow! I need a storage system like this!. Unfortunately, my space is too small for it. I love your cards and follow your posts. Love your tips, they are always so helpful. Thanks also, for a chance to win some blog candy. Bless you, Becca!
Becca…As always your “imBeccable” style shines through–this Giveaway could not happen at a better time–my dies have outgrown the popular art box with magnetic sheets and I am always annoyed by having to take the ALL out to see where the die I am looking for IS!
Staples never sells anything like this–believe me I have researched this challenge about 19 times.
This organization is outstanding! :)
I like your storage system, wish I had that much room to store my dies, also I would like to own that many dies. Thanks for the chance to win.
What a great storage system. Hope to win thank you for the opportunity.
Becca, You are truly inspirational. Thank you for sharing so freely with us. I knew you had a lot of dies but I had no idea! How can you decide which to use for your beautiful cards each day? No matter how you do it, I am thankful. I’d love to see the rest of your craft room too!
I would love to try your method. I have been collecting many dies lately and need some good organization. Thank-you for the offer!!
Greetings from Maine. I love, love, love your ideas, and they inspire me. Thanks so much for your willingness to share them!
Seriously, are we sisters?!! I so love being organized. I just was telling my BFF that if it’s not visible, organized, and within reach, my mind doesn’t see it! Your labels are such a great idea with those cases! Thanks for sharing all your incredible cards and all of your sweet words in your blog.
Question: Do you use a full sheet of the magnet insert in the DVD cases or is a half sheet sufficient?
Greetings from Curacao……….(We love you Too Becca)
I’m suffering severe organizational envy! I’ve developed a binder die storage system for myself that has worked quite well for me for the psst several years. But as my thumbs get more and more arthritic and painful I have begun re-thinking my die storage situation as the binders are just too heavy for my hands these days. The cases would be a wonderful start on reworking my die storage solutions. Thanks for sharing and for the wonderful opportunity.
Keeping my collection of dies neat, organized and accessible is a constant challenge. I’ve copied your ideas for storing my dies and am slowly getting things in order. Am always inspired by your card projects. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, love your die storage setup. I have a few dies in similar cases. I would love to win these to get my set up. Thanks for the chance to win.
Becca! After I saw how you stores your dies, I went online and ordered some last year. LOVE them! So convenient. I need to add to my collection
Love this idea…I would like to see how you label the CD/DVD case. Is there an earlier post?
Thank you for sharing your storage ideas. I love them! I am desperately lacking in organizational skills, so this would be especially helpful for me.
Love your organizational ideas. This is a great giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity to win some of these fabulous cases. (I have been struggling with how to organize my dies and this answered a lot of questions.)
Thanks for sharing your storage solution……..WOW I thought I had a lot of dies! My friends tease me…..I must show them this post. I have mine in the original, foldover plastic packaging. I simply attached magnet sheets that I purchased from Lowes (covers for air vents) directly to the packaging. I really do like the cases & would like to give this method a try. The cases are very cost effective. Thank you again for sharing this valuable storage tip
Well those cases would certainly beat my magnetic sheets stored in a resealable cellophane envelope! 20 would be a great start! Thanks for the info.
I would love to win those containers. I keep trying different ways to store my dies and stamps as well and I do believe those containers are just what I need. I live close to Michigan and I can have them shipped to friends there if I win – and I sure hope I do.
Great giveaway Becca! Thanks for sharing your ideas, and for being so generous! :)
wow… your room looks so neat and tidy! Beautiful way to organize the dies! Very handy and accessible!
My question is how do you reach the stuff way up there? I see that you already answered itr above, and was glad somebody else had the same question! I am only 5’2″ so it wouldn’t be easy for me… I would need a ladder!
Wow. I would give my eye teeth to have that much room to craft…and oh, I have a really bad case of “die envy” I use the Art Bin Storage for mine, and I like it – I’m not quite as organized as you, but this lets me keep from losing dies, and as long as I keep my list updated, I don’t tend to buy duplicates . Love it – thanks for posting the pics. Becca!
Oh my! This is an amazing die storage option–you have done a wonderful job of making sure your dies are accessible and well-labeled! I love this!
Thanks so much to you and to TapeOnline for such a great giveaway!! Here’s hoping!! :)
Wow Becca, Your area is so neat.
Mine is always a mess.
What a great way to store your dies.
I have been trying to come up with a system.
Thank you for offering the containers & other stuff with it.
Oh my Gosh Becca! I use the same Clear CDs and DVDs case from Tapes On Line and get my magnetic sheets from them as well!! I love it and they work great! I could always do with more as I can’t for some reason seem to stop buying die sets!!! LOL. tapes on Line is great to deal with to and reasonable!!! What I need is some place to put the cases in! I love your idea!! Right now they are in a huge basket and I mean huge and it’s so hard to find them in there! Shelving units here I come!!! Thanks for sharing. . .
I have tried a few ways of storing dies and stamps. I think I am liking the DVD/CD cases a lot. Thanks for sharing your craft space with us and for the opportunity to wins some cases!
Oh, how cool! I think that its very smart system.
Thanks for sharing your ideas! I am always looking for new ideas on how to organize all my stuff!
Oh my….I only wish my dies looked that good. I have mine in CD cases in tower stands I usually find at garage sales. The extra large ones are stored in my Art Bin magnetic storage. I thought I had a lot but you blow me out of the water with your collection! Good for you!
Becca please share more of your craft room with us!!!
I love your storage for dies and would love to win some of those cases and magnetic sheets so I could try out your system. Thank you for sharing.
Love this system of storage and Tapes on Line. They are great and so are you for sharing with us. So glad to find where you get your labels and how you did the label. Love it. Thanks for sharing!
I love your storage ideas! I am now storing my ribbon like you! Now to get a media rack!
Becca, your die storage is awesome! Would love to win to start my own system!
Wonderful giveaway from Tapeonline! I’ve been ordering from them since I saw one of your posts last fall and I love this system. And their customer service is of the highest standard. I don’t use my dies as often as you do (of course!) so I usually cut the front of the Spellbinder card to fit the front of the DVD case and tape it to the front of the case. This way the spine is labeled and the picture of the die is on the front. It helps remind me what it looks like cut and shows me all the different cuts it can make. Thanks Becca for thinking of us!
A super way to store your dies. If only I had the room and so many dies. Thanks for the chance to win the cases.
Becca, thanks for sharing your storage system. It makes great sense and the cases are probably cost effective.
What a great idea for storing dies !
I do love your die storage and until today thought I had the largest stash of them, but not so! haha tks for sharing!
Great photos. It looks like a great way to store your dies. Thanks for the opportunity to win !
What a wonderful useful storage system, thanks for sharing!!
I love the way you have everything organized. The same organization skills show in your beautiful cards. Thank you for the chance to win blog candy.
Thank you so much for showing your storage system and the link for the unit. I love this and it will work out perfectly for all my stamps. Thanks again Becca.
What a wonderful storage system. Have you ever counted how many die sets you have? Inquiring minds want to know.
Love your system…..now to find more wall space!
What a system you have, Becca…your room looks great. Neither my dies nor my craft room are organized and I can certainly see the value of getting things in order. Thanks for showing us your system!
Wow…great organization. I love the color coded labels. AWESOME!!! Thanks for sharing your space with us. So cool…
I think it is fate that your blog post showed up on my Bloglovin’ today!! I have been trying to decide on a way to store my dies and after tons of research have decided on this very method! Now it is only a matter of getting the money to get the goodies needed to get started! Winning this would certainly give me a huge headstart on getting started!! Would love to see my name as the winner! Thank you for the chance!
You have a wonderful organized stamp/craft area. Lucky you! Thank you for sharing.
Oh Becca, what a marvelous set up you have!! I don’t know if I’m more green with envy over your die collection or your storage solutions, lol! I found the same problem with binders that you did…too heavy! For now my dies are in envelopes, which isn’t working too well, so these cases look like the perfect solution! Thank you for a chance to win! Now if I could only get my cards to look as beautiful as yours, lol!!
I am about to have a whole new room to myself and this sounds like a perfect idea. Thanks for the chance to win.
Sending much love,
Michaela
Thanks for sharing a peak into your studio!
I store my dies in their original plastic packages, slit on three sides to open like a book. I have one large box of dies that is a chore to get through. Sometimes two sets will stick together because of their shape. Plus I have to lift them out to see what’s inside. It would be fantastic to put them in, labeled CD cases for easier access! Oh, how I hope I win this package! Thank you Becca!
I skipped reading all the other comments so I could say “you could be my twin” (organization queen) ! I love it!!! Like you, if I have to look for it, it interrupts my creative thought process. I will not use it if it’s an inconvenience to get to it. My crafting friend says I’m obsessed with being organized and I’m sending her your email, so she can see your craft room! I think it’s beyond wonderful!
I currently have my dies stored in binders (got the idea from a crafter I met at a crop) and you’re right; they are heavy after you get so many of them. Going to try something else because I don’t have room enough for a media center because I have too much paper.
Also, I noticed what looks like 12×12 cases in your craft room. Are those storage containers for paper? All that said…your space is neat and very well organized and that probably contributes to the beautiful work you produce.
Thanks Becca for a look in your craft space. It looks fabulous :)
You lucky lucky girl.
I will definitely keep this idea in mind for my future dies :) ANd finish reading up on the rest tomorrow…just made 9 cards, celebrated a birthday lunch, and ready to crash.
It’s always fun to see how other crafters organize their craft room……thank you for your description and photo……it looks awesome!
Becca, thanks for sharing your die storage system, AND offering the chance to win cases & magnet sheets! I started storing mine in CD boxes with individual “hanging files” to slide the die set in. I quickly learned that system worked only for small dies. I then switched to large 3 ring binders… That worked really well for Grand Caliber dies — but the binders ended up being very heavy. I am vertically challenged (5′ 2″), so pulling those heavy 3 ring binders off the shelf, I risk a concussion each time I look for a die! I need a new storage system! Thanks for your inspiration!
I’ve recently started putting my dies in binders and you’re right. They do get heavy. Love your system. Organized and easily accessible without all the weight. Will have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
wow! amazing organizing system, love it!!!
WOW Becca! You are super organized! Thanks very much for the chance to win!
Becca, this is impressive! Being able to quickly put my hands on what I want to use at any given moment is only a dream for me at this point in time. I would LOVE to get to this!
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your great storage system!
Wow. This is organization! Thanks for the info.
It was so interesting to see your storage system Becca! Very helpful too! It looks like you are utilizing all your space in a very great way. Thanks for sharing!
Great ideas! Thanks so much for sharing!
Love your system! I loved using the magnetic sheets also.
Thanks for sharing storage ideas. Would love to win the things from tapeonline.com Would be a big help because like you I am a die-oholic! And storage is my big problem. Tried the binder idea, but agree, they are too heavy. If I’m not lucky enough to win I may just have to invest in these cases.
WOW Becca…you are SOOOOOO organized – what wonderful storage! Thanks for the chance to win and get started on my storage!
Jan
Such a great idea!! Thanks for sharing and for offering the cases! I’ve got my fingers crossed!
WOW! What an amazing Storage system!
I love your organization! It is truly Inspiring no wonder you can make such beautiful cards!
Thank you for sharing
Becca, you may be the most organized person I know. This is a gorgeous crafting space.
Hello Becca, I’ve been using the Tape Online DVD cases since you featured them in a previous blog post. I really appreciated getting the information at the time and have been very happy with them. I thought I had a LOT until I saw the picture of your storage system. I see I have a ways to go to catch you! Thanks for sharing this information and for a chance to win some cases.
I’m starting a collection of dis and I like this storage solution better than a notebook which is what I was considering. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much for sharing your storage ideas for dies. I have tried several different ways and just haven’t found the one that is perfect for me yet. I am hoping your idea will work because I love to use the dies and want easy, understandable access to them. Thanks!!!!
fantastic storage idea your room is sooooooooo tidy I wish mine was like yours but I’m an untidy crafter lol. Thanks for the chance to win a prize. Love love all your cards & creations. Magnificent
Thanks for a second peek into your craft space. I would really like to see a full-room view of that super-organized area! I have been very happy with the new packaging Spellbinders dies are coming in (as well as some other manufacturers). I don’t feel so bad about tossing all that packaging now! (I already have a drawer full of those packages I’ve saved to use in my crafting… only so much room for keeping those things!!) Great post, Becca!!
Everything looks so nice and neat. I’m still using binders that have gotten quite heavy and cumbersome. It’s time for me to make a change. Thanks for sharing!
I currently store my dies in a 12×12 album. I use 6 up and 4 up storage folders for the most part with a magnetic sheet inside. I can see that as I acquire more dies, this is not going to be feasible. I’m actually considering multiple 3-ring binders (again 12×12), so I can organize the dies into groups. I have been fortunate to be allowed a corner in one of the “common rooms” in the retirement facility my husband and I moved into recently, so my storage space is extremely limited.
Morning Becca
I am so envious of your tidy, organised storage methods. I will strive to be tidier – I promise
I regularly read your blog which I love
Pat x
I bought two sets of the DVD’s last year when you focused on them. They have worked well for my steel die storage. I had a couple left over and put some stamps sets in them – these worked great, but I have yet not bought any more cases – you reminded me – I must get on with that one job (at least!) Thank you, Julie
I store my dies on mag sheets in A5 boxes grouped into types – larger ones that dont fit are in an A4 box and grand dies are in magnetic folders. The majority are in A5 boxes and I find they dont take up much storage space that way and I only have a small box to flick thro when I want to find something. Think I need to review storage in my craft room – I have a spare wall I was thinking of putting shelving on but perhaps a media centre would be better – I will have to ponder that one!
Oh, to be so organised! Great ideas and thanks for sharing them.
What a fantastic craft room. Being organized does help in the creating process-so many that’s why I’m in such a rut!! LOL I’ve lost my mojo and winning these cases sure jump start my creative juices!! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Becca,
i too store my dies in DVD cases along with magnetic sheets, so much easier than in a folder, and the folders become heavy. Though I have no where near as many as you lol!
Love & Hugs
Jacquie J xxx
Very organized! Would love to try this system!
Hi Becca. Thanks for letting us see your craft room, I am very jealous of all your dies. I store mine in binders in groups such as the d-lites, fancy shapes, grand dies etc and it does help me to find the right one when I need it but they are very heavy. Your system looks so much better.
Okay let´s hope I manage to finish this time, before the site decide to update here again and it all disappear once more LOL.
I absolutely love your wall here Becca, it´s sooooo awesome. I thought I had many dies with one drawer filled up ha ha ha, but nothing compared to you here, but boy I love how you´ve organized yours, and wish we could get these boxes here anywhere, but we can´t, I have checked more times SIGH. It looks fantastic, when I look here on your wall and I can only dream of something like this.
Love the idea. Will have to try and get dome of these cases over here in Australia.
Fantastic storage! I am dead envious that you have that many, and can find them easily. Sadly I am in Ireland, so not eligible for the die cases, I wish the company would send overseas., I’d be prepared to pay the shipping.
OMG…..you are so organized. My studio is a total mess. I’ll have to investigate those boxes as I store my dies in their original packaging which is a real pain. I definitely NEED a better system…lol
Crafty Hugs
Christine
Hello Becca!
Goodness such a neat area looks so impressive too!
Thanks for making me hide my head in shame at my chaos! lol
Take care
Love Marg
Oooo! Oooo! Me! Me! Please. I “gots lots” and need the storage.
Hi Becca,
GREAT storage, but unfortunately I haven’t got the wall space.
I store my dies on magnetic sheets which are stuck to original packaging showing a picture of the dies. The wallets re 5×9 in. and contain 12 pockets. I number each folder and label the dies with the folder no. they’re stored in. Any dies too big for the folders are stored on a “clip-it-up” carousel floor stand (by SimplyRenee).
I also transfer the visual image of a die/set as I order and store it by adding it to a computer folder called “visual dies”. Once received and stored, I store the location ref. in the catalogue.
In this way I can browse through my catalogue to see which dies I want to use.
I also catalogue all my stamps/embossing folders and masks which are mostly stored on my floor stand in their packaging. Again, the packaging has a label containing the location, as does the image in the “catalogue”.
My catalogues are computer folders named “visual stamps, visual embossing folders etc”.
I find this system serves me well.
Hope it has helped other crafty folk………
Hugs, Rose
wow ,it is so nice to see how others store dies ,looking at getting a new craft room built and have found this so inspiring .Mine arein a box at minute and I find I spend ages searching for what I want ,Laura O
Dear Becca your cards are always works of art it is no wonder your craft space is a work of art too. I would love to win this storage bundle to get me started on organizing my dies. You continue to be such an amazing inspiration to us all. Thank You!
Your craft space is so organized. Yes it is key to being able to find what you are looking for. You make the most beautiful cards. Thanks for the chance to win.
Wow another chance to win! I want to win these they would be great for my growing stash of die’s. I have tried a couple different methods but none worked well so.
This looks like it would work so if its free, I am willing to try this one and see what happens. Love your cards and boxes.
Thanks
Wow! What a great idea, you are right, mine are still in the packages, and I don’t use them as it is a problem to get them out and put them back. Thanks for sharing. Love all your Art work!! Because everything you do is a work of Art!
I like how handy and neat everything looks in your room. Thanks for sharing your storage ideas with us as well as all your wonderful cards and creations. Blessings!
What a great idea for cutting the dies when you receive them! I need to do that. I’ve only had one die that didn’t cut well, but I’ve learned how to live with how it cuts. You inspire in so many ways…Thank you.
This would be a great addition to my room
I use a combination of these CD cases and a system I created that consists of 6×12 chipboard covered on one side with magnetic sheet. I stand these in a container right behind my die cutting machine. This allows me to have some of my favorite dies very close at hand. I also keep some of the more intricate ones here and the simpler shapes in the CDs. This way I can quickly thumb through them and search for what will work on the project. I would like to try the DVD cases someday and work those in to my system. Love your work, thanks for sharing.
I’m remodeling my craft room. Thanks for the info and pictures, and thanks for the chance to win.
Thank you Becca for sharing your storage ideas!
OMG! This is Amazing. Would love this system.
Thanks for sharing your organisation system. Thanks for offering a prize to non USA visitors too! Blessings on your weekend.
Oh my you are way to organized!!! What I want to know is there anything you don’t have? I know that neat and tidy is the only way to go but I seem to have trouble do that. I need something like this instead of using the bed that is in the room. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Becca, this is a wonderful idea. I just sold my home and am moving into a MUCH smaller home and losing my craft room. This idea will work perfectly for my dies and stamps as I arrange a “craft corner”. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Becca, I come around almost every day, but can’t always comment. I’m glad I stopped in today because I’ve been curious how many dies you have. And …. wow! Have you ever counted? No don’t it boggles the mind just to see them up there. You see, I have 3 sets of spellbinders, and 2 bigz that I never use. I have more punches, but not many more. Lol I do have a Cricut Expression that my sweetie got me for my birthday several years ago. But I’d never bought it myself. Yep, I’m so tight that I squeak when I walk! It you h a ‘ve to listen past the creaking and popping of old age. Lol thanks for sharing your system, I’m thinking I’d like to change my stamp storage into DVD cases. I’m off to check out their prices. Thanks again hugs, jess
I love your craft room. Die-cuts are my favorite, I will have to get some of the DVD boxes. Where did you get the hanging baskets at the top of your die-cut storage?
Just showed my hubby your organizational skills (mine are bad-I spend most of the time looking, sorting, etc)
He is always trying to improve my room as he says it tires him looking at it.
So true. I try to have everything close but it all tends to be on top of desk in piles. I really have to organize better as I don’t get to create as much as I have to search & tidy. If I could just throw some stuff out!!
Very impressive! I dream of being so organized!
Good afternoon Becca,
You’ve certainly got yourself well organised, but that’s a necessity – not a luxury – in your case. To say I am green with envy is understating the obvious, I’m every colour of the rainbow!! Thanks for your wonderful ideas xx.
I have the perfect wall for this type of storage, now to convince the mister. Thanks for sharing and the opportunity to win cases!!
This idea for storage is great, I have over a hundred dies, and yes I have they in large binders. I do have an index paper so I can find them, they
are heavy. I use magnetic sheets in every page to hold them. I have a large craft rm so This would work great for me. Thanks Carol
I HAVE MADE A START BUT NOT AS NEAT AS BECCA’S YET .
Hi Becca,
Following your post/referral I started using tape online DVD cases for both dies and stamps! Wooooowzwer! It’s a great stamp storage system. I also store embossing folders with a sample sheet insert and a tab label. Several fit in a photo box. This helps to “play with layouts” when I want to use dies, embossed texture, and stamps. Collecting and organizing is half the fun, right?! :)
All my best, Tammie
I love this idea. I am thinking about changing. Would love to win.
I don’t know how on earth you remember what you’ve got well enough to use even 1/2 of these dies….talk about a card makers heaven!
Been admiring your organization system for awhile but I still haven’t taken the plunge. Still using binders & they are getting heavier by the year. Thanks for all your inspiration & a chance to win.
It sure would be nice to start to make a card and know exactly where something is you want to use. I do own various companies dies and dont know whether to separate by company and then type or skip one step. I find the extra little pieces confusing if I separate them and then dont remember what set they came from. Thanks for a chance to win.
Thanks to you Becca, and to Tape Line, for the chance to win this great prize. It would sure be helpful.
I, too, have very limited space and have tried many ways to store my precious dies and stamps so that they are handy when I need or want them. Your space looks so very neat! I have several different methods but I much prefer the media shelf with DVD/CD cases since mine are in the family room.
Awesome storage for your dies! I use the magnets but have mine in a notebook. I only have a few dies. ;) Thanks for the chance to win!
Love this! I want them!
Wow! Lots of comments! You are so organized Becca! What a great system you have! I currently have all my Spellbinder dies in Photo Boxes in their original folder on magnets. Other dies are kind of here & there! Having just bought our 1st house, the rooms are to small, so I went & purchase a 10′ x 20′ storage building for my craft room. What a challenge it is as I have less furniture and went from a square room to a rectangle. These cases would be perfect for storing both dies and stamps. I will be removing the majority of my stamps from the wood mounts and there are a lot of them. Thanks for the chance to win them. I am going to have to buy some even if I do win them. I love the labeling on them. Hugs Lori
I love this idea. Could you come and organize my dies? :)
I have ordered several cases for my clear stamps, now I better get some for my dies too. Thanks for the ideas.
Great storage solution. I gave never seen such an organized craftroom.
I have a question; where did you purchase the baskets for holding your ribbon at the very top of your cabinet? I love your storage ideas and have been using your CD and DVD case ideas for a while now and they are working out just great. Thanks for helping us get organized.
Your craft room gives me the desire to redo mine!
I have been using this system for over a year. It is just fabulous! I just had to add another rack to hold more. It expands with your needs so easily and makes my crafting space so attractive. I use these cases without the magnetic sheet for all of my clear stamps. I use a somewhat different system for filing, but you can easily tailor it to what works for you. Can’t say enough good things about storing die cuts and clear stamps in these containers. Thank you, Bekka, for a great idea that I have easily been able to successfully implement.
Love this system. Thanks for the great ideas.
Wow! Love your storage. Wish I was that organized.
I too started using the DVD cases after seeing your post over a year ago. I have FINALLY gotten around to labeling my cases. I procrastinated because I couldn’t quite decide on how to organize them! Finally I started putting my ideas on paper and once I had “played” around with the categories for awhile I ordered the ACE label sheets from Tape on Line. I do have one question though. The program for typing into the labels is a Word program not an Excel spread sheet and I was stumped as to how to color code the labels. Then I had a “light bulb” moment” and decided to simply draw lines with a pencil to create the little boxes and then used my Copic markers to color code things! Seems to be working for me, but I am sure I will be tweaking it as I go along. Out of curiosity, what program do you use to create your labels? Also, I love the media storage shelves and plan to look into purchasing one – or maybe two- as my die collection continues to grow! Blessings to you on this lovely May morning!
I would love to win the storage system. I especially struggle with my large dies. Thanks Becca for the tips!
What wonderful ideas you have. Using DVD and CD cases seems like an easy way to store dies and yet makes them very easy to find and open when you need to use them and saves them from damage when not in use. I am looking forward to trying this. Love seeing your new inspirations each day. Thank you for sharing with us.
Love your storage Ideas and Love the beautiful cards you make. I go to your site almost everyday to see your creations.
Hi Becca super storage wish my craft room looked so good , and l dont have half the dies you have .l dont seem to be able to get the boxes in uk so never mind hugs linda
Becca If you could see my craft room you would die. Organization is something I have tried very hard to learn, but it just never works for me. Would love to have your craft room. I understand now how you are able to create such lovely cards. You have no clutter messing up your creativity. Thanks for all the great tips.
Becca,
Hello!! I have been following you for quite some time on your blog. You have such a niche’ for creating beautiful cards. Have you ever tried your hands at scrapbooking?
Thanks!
Gay
Thank you for showing us your system. I am trying to find one that will work for me and would love to try this. Love how neat your area is.
Becca you never disappoint!!! You are always showing us your lovely creations or teaching us to maximize our craft space. Keep up the good work!!!
I love this method for storing dies– thank you, Becca, for introducing it to us! Now I need the storage rack from Best Buy! Thank you for a chance to win more of these cases and magnet sheets– I am in need of more for my dies!
Thanks again for the chance to win the CD/DVD cases and magnetic inserts. They are awesome and I can’t wait to get even more organized. Still need to figure out how to store stamps both clear and wooden where I can see them to use them more. Thanks Becca for being so game as to make this chance available to one of us!
Thanks for sharing your storage ideas. Hopefully I can organize similar to you and be able to find things when I need them. Thank you for the contest and prize offering.
Love, love, love your you tube videos. I watch & rematch constantly. Thanks for all you share.
I love your use of vertical space for storing your dies…beautiful and efficient!!!
Wish I was as organized as you are Becca! Intend on working on my craft organization everyday even if it’s only 15 minutes – it all adds up.

Hi Becca
I simple love all your work. Wien i have time, i watch your YouTube’s over and over again.
You have quite a die collection. I love all your cards and projects. You are very talented.
Thanks for the ideas Becca, I like it a lot…
Hi Becca, Wow !! Wow !! Wow !! I’m loving your organisation, your idea is brilliant !! I keep my dies in their packages in plastic boxes that have hanging files inside, and I stack the boxes on top of each other, but they get so heavy to keep lifting down, the one I want is always the bottom one haha !!
You are so good to us ‘international’ guests, thank you.
Have a lovely weekend.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
I really need to get organized, this would really help me get started. Thank you for the opportunity to win these goodies. You space looks great, something to aspire to!
Wow!! That is amazing and so neat. I’ve been trying to make my small collection of dies more accessible. It’s so much easier to pull them off the magnetic sheet instead of trying to get it out of the original packaging. Thanks for a chance to win. If I’m lucky, I could buy some more dies to fill them up!
Becca, I love your die storage system and think it would work for me. Right now all my dies are in two plastic sterlite containers, some in their original packages and some in cd cases. What a mess! Thanks for the opportunity to win and get organized. I need something to get me going and cut my clutter..
What a great way to store the dies. Right now mine are in a binder. Worked OK when I had just a few but now it takes two hands to lift the binder. Your system would certainly be a blessing to win. Thanks for the chance.
I love the way you store your dies. I would love to win your storage system. It will be a great way to start building my collection of holders and magnetic sheets to store my dies. I have yet to find an acceptable way to store my dies. Your system will be perfect for me.
I started using the clear case storage boxes after the first time you showed them. I love it, however, I have so many dies now that I have to decide how to expand my shelving to hold more of them. I have been listing them in a notebook, but then I have to locate the actual die! With more shelves I could follow your idea of dividing the dies the same way I have them listed in the notebook.
Just started setting up me space. Yours has given me good visual of an organized space. Thank you.
Wow – wonderfully organized which I need to better be.
My goodness you can tell you have been collecting for a long time but your organizational method makes finding just the right die easy. I just re-organized my stamp room and it has made items easier to find. I like you don’t use it if I have to spend 1/2 hour looking for it. I may have to invest in one of your wall units for my stamps that I store in CD and DVD cases TFS
Love your die storage! Check out a couple of media shelves but not the right one! Thanks for all the tips!
Another day, another comment….I am soooo impressed with your storage Becca – you have taken it to another level – that of expert! TFS
Jan
Hi Becca, What generous blog candy. Thanks for the chance to win.
I loose dies way to often too. Found one over a year after I had given up on it, stuck between two sheets of paper! Thanks for your great ideas.
WOW! That is some awesome & well thought out storage system. I have started keeping my dies in the Magnet Art bins, which is working so far, but I need to have them on shelves for easier access. Stamps are jumbled so spend a lot of time hunting for something or forget that I have it. How do you easily reach those baskets up at the top? Thanks for taking time to photo & share this storage system with blogland. Blessings & Hugs
Amazing craft storage!
Wow! That’s a lot of dies! With that many, you have to have a great organizational system, and you do. My daughter and I are doing some reorganization of our craft room and seeing your system inspires me to move even faster on it. Thanks for the inspiration.
Well, Becca – you got me going on this a couple of years ago – but I am in to win! I can always use more…….. I use wicker DVD baskets from Target to store mine in.
It’s always interesting and helpful to learn how other crafters organize their crafting supplies. Thank You for giving us a glimpse of your die organization.
Wonderful organizational tip and awesome giveaway! You are definitely the “Die-cut Queen”!
awesome prize… thanks for the opportunity!
Love your room and how you store your dies. I am a mega die user as well and this is really a great idea. I would love to win these cases but I will be purchasing them for my dies in the mean time. I feel lucky though!!! Love love all of your creations!!
Love seeing your storage!
I’m going to se if these products are available here!
Thanks for the organization inspiration!
Wow! What a history! Storage is an ongoing problem, but I guess we should be grateful that we are able to acquire enough stuff to make it one.
Becca…showed your storage system to all my stampin’ and srappin’ friends…everyone loved it…Best Buy is going to be swamped with orders for this CD Rack…thanks for the Fabulous Give-A-Way.
Stampin’ HUGS

Hi Becca. It’s great to see your working area. Where and how do you store your embossing folders? I have mine in a small draw but it’s not ideal. Thank you for sharing all those wonderful ideas. You really are my go to inspiration.
I can only agree to that, it´s so awesome to see, where all these awesome creations has been made , that´s sooo cool, and I just love your space here. And what a great way of storing these dies, sooo perfect.
I like how neat and organized you have everything. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us and for sharing all your beautiful paper creations with us! Blessings!
I enjoy seeing how people store their craft items. It always give a person some new and fresh ideas. Thanks for sharing.
What Aa wonderful prizefighter package for the lucky winner. Crossing my fingers!
Thanks for sharing your craft storage ideas Becca. Also, thanks for a chance to win.
Here’s hoping I win this one! I do not have as many dies as you do but I can always use more organizing for what I have. Thanks
I like your ribbon racks above the die storage will have to look for something like those. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing your organization ideas with us Becca!
Thanks for all of your fantastic ideas.
Becca, how do you remember which die set you want. Example, you have a card in mind and a particular die that would be perfect, but with all those die sets, how do you remember which set it’s in?
When I grow up I want a die collection and storage system just like yours. I have just downsized to a new place in a retirement neighborhood and I am working on my stamp room. Can’t wait to finish and have everything where I want them. Thank you for teaching us so much.
Oh to be soo organized!! I love your space. Been following you for a long time. What a creative mind and so generous to share.
So smart! Thank you for sharing this resource!
Thanks for the hint about printing the labels on Excel. Nice reason to get busy and get organized and set up a database of my dies!
What a great storage system. Thanks for the chance to win.
Thank you for sharing your storage ideas with me! I have done tons of research on die storage and this way seems like the best way to keep my dies readily available yet still protected from accidental damage! I would love to win this amazing prize package to get me started since cost is the only thing that is stopping me right now. Thank you for the chance to win this amazing prize package!!
Thank-you for sharing your die storage with us. I was excited to see they have magnet sheets now. I store my stamp sets in their DVD cases and they work great. I currently use cd pockets and a box for my dies but may have to try this in the future. Always changing.
Thanks for sharing your organization tips. Organization in my craft room has always been difficult at best!
Fantastic storage idea. I’m going to give it a try. Thank you for your wonderful creations and sharing them with us.
Your die organization is amazing…….I would love to come and play at your house!! Thanks for the great ideas!
Fantastic system! I have a ton of dies as I also love them and have been looking for a better way to store. Thanks for the chance to win.
Your storage is amazing! Everything is at your finger tips!
Becca, I saw your response to Beth Ellis regarding the software used for the labels. There is a program that has this label sheet as a template, my son found it for me. I’ll look up the info and send it to you if you’d like. I found it much easier than Excel and since the template is already there, I don’t do anything but type!
Easy to find products makes for more creativity! It took less time to organize than it took to hunt, dig, get upset when trying to find something. It was less expensive to organize than to keep buying duplicates.
Creativity is not supported by clutter and chaos!
love this set-up. thanks for sharing.
Oh my lord. You are definitely organised.
Oranization it the key. And it’s easier to start organized than trying to
get on top of a huge amount of inventory. Thank you for your tips and
pictures.
My space is limited like yours so vertical storage is the way I’m headed as well. Thanks for sharing a great storage idea.
I will be moving into a much smaller space. Thank you for showing me some new design options. (Now, I am not quite so anxious. lol) :) And, continued thanks for the lovely inspiration within your cards.
Wow! Thank you for sharing your ideas. I have my dies in the ARTBIN magnetic die storage cases. (I don’ t have as many as you…yet) But since seeing TAPEONLINE on your site I have ordered and been using the DVD and CD cases for my unmounted stamps. Works GREAT!
Thank you so much for showing & telling us all about your CD/DVD storage solution for your dies, it’s such an excellent idea.I shall try this as well if I cab but them here on Madeira. You are such a giving person Becca.
May He continue to bless you, Hugs x
Thanks to TapeOnline my dies are organized and protected. My original system required more space than I have. Then I discovered the cases and magnetic sheets from TapeOnline. WOW! What a difference they have made! Love the product. Thanks, Becca , for sharing your labeling system. I’m still working on mine and you have given me some good ideas.
Your cards and all your creations continue to amaze and inspire me!
WOWZA!! What an awesome storage system. I’ve tried soooo many ways to store my dies and haven’t liked any of them. I think you have come up with the perfect solution. I’ve converted all my rubber stamps to cling mount with EZ mount sheets and have them stored in CD cases and never in a million years did I think to store my dies in CD cases and didn’t even know there were clear DVD cases available until now.
Thanks so much Becca.
P.S. Your craft room is absolutely beautiful and so neat!!!
Amazing the amount of stuff that you can store in a small space with the right system. Love organization and hate when I have a mess all creativity stops till order is restored. TFS
Great organization. I would love to be so organized. Then maybe I could make some of the beautiful things that you share with us. Love your work.
This post has helped me nail down some organization ideas for my small craft room. Thank you for sharing.
How nice to have everything at your fingertips too
Hello Becca!!
I just gotta add my name to the giveaway, but more importantly, say that you are awesome! Not only a lovely lady, but one of the most creative and artistic people I know of. You make paper look like lace, turn cardstock into museum quality works of art, and inspire me with each post. Thank you for the time and effort you put into these posts and for sharing them with us.
Your work space pics are a treat, and I appreciate the opportunity to get to see how you store your die-cuts. Great job!
Blessings,
Doni
I’m still trying to figure out how to best store my dies. Thanks for the chance to win these and try out your system =)
Would love to win Becca – wonderful way to start to organize!!!!! TFS
Jan
If this isn’t the perfect space!
What a fabulous idea
Swoon I hope to do that when I grow up lol!
My place to small but can maybe use bookcase
I love Online. I have their cases and magnets and they are great…i need more. Perhaps i will get lucky! Thanks for sharing.
These cases are amazing. Getting and keeping things organized is not so easy but they certainly help.
This type of organizing for dies looks amazing. Hoping I win!
This is a great way to organize my dies. Looking forward to buying some of these to do just that!
Love your storage tips. Thanks for a chance to win.
Dear Becca,
Your organization so neat and tidy. Such a great place to spend with.
Would love to win and thanks for sharing.
Love your storage system! Thanks for the chance to win these awesome cases!
These cases are fantastic for storing dies, I only wish I had more. Love the die display, so envious!! Thanks for the chance to win.
This looks marvelous. I ordered some of these cases a couple years back when you first mentioned them and love them. Unfortunately I need many, many more! Thanks, Becca, for the chance to win. One day I hope to have all my dies organized as you have.
Your craft room organization is amazing! Thanks for sharing the website where we can purchase the cases. and other supplies. Thank you for sharing your God given gift with us. Your work is so inspirational.
Thanks for sharing your creative space storage ideas! I love how organized you are..maybe someday…
Hi Becca,
Wow, I wish I had your room. A whole room all to myself, I sure would love that. Well, at least I can begin to get organized, if I win.
It’s 9.07 a.m. on 19th May here in UK and I’m off into town to try to find some clear DVD cases. Wish me luck! xx
Lovely and organized…thanks for sharing your system and how you do it. So nice of TapeOnline to offer such a nice prize, too.
Love the organizational tip thanks Becca!
Thanks for sharing your strategy for organizing dies. Tammie
You have wonderful storage ideas and it looks like everything is easy to get to. I love viewing all your beautiful card creations! Thanks for the chance to win the cases.
Absolutely love your storage system, probably the most organized I’ve seen.
Thanks for sharing always love to see how people store their craft project tools.
I need a better system to storing my dies, well all my stuff really but this would be a start. Thanks
You said you keep a catalog of all your dies…sounds wonderful. Maybe you could show us how you organize that someday. Do you have pictures of each die? Thanks for all the great tips. You’re inspiring me to get my organized!
Good morning Becca. Out of town visiting my parents and waiting on the 20th. Hop all is well with you and your family, I really want to win the cases. I think they are the best storage idea for thin steel dies. I got the idea from you originally and have been using them, just need more.
Your system looks very workable. I am in the process of organizing my craft room,thank for sharing. I like the fact you know what type of crafter you are when it comes to creating cards. I never thought like that before! I think I am a Puncher! Thank you for sharing!
I have well over 100 sets of dies and since the Art Bin box for dies with magnetic sheets came out I have bought 4 and most are filled. I use one for shapes, one for flowers and butterflies, one for borders and one for CHristmas. When I buy new dies, I cut off the label and staple it to the back of the magnetic sheet. That way if I don’t \put the die back in as soon as I use it, I still know which mat it goes on. On the outside of the box, I have a typed list of everything that is in the box by the S number and name of die. It is working quite well for me.
Becca, I always look forward to your new blog and wish you did one everyday!!
My question is this: Does Spellbinder supply you with all the latest releases or do you have to buy them all. Thought maybe this one of the benefits of being a “Spellbinder designers.”
Hugs,
Mstgane
Ann
Thank you for showing your system! It looks like it works well. I never gave it a deep thought about what type of crafter ( card maker ) I am. I think I am a Puncher! Thank you for the insight and for sharing. AB
My organization skills…. who am I fooling. I have no organization skills. This will be my summer project. Your system of storing your dies is neat and clean and will be my inspiration. You are my muse. Your work is beautiful and you have inspired me to make cards and expand my artistic ways. Thank you for your generous sharing of talent. I appreciate all you do for us, your students.
I love your storage ideas and maybe someday mine could look like yours. No wonder your cards are so beautiful as you have such a wide range of dies to work with and your ideas seem to be endless.
You are such an inspiration – this is a great organitional idea and your cards are truly amazing! When I grow up, I want to make cards like Becca!
Your cards are always gorgeous Becca and Im sure being organized in your craft area helps make that an easier process for you. Thanks for a chance to win.
Becca, love your storeage solutions and have ordered some of the large cases from Tape on line. Now I just have to find the time to get my dies organized, It may take a very long time but would be worth it. Thanks for the chance at the goodies
Charlene
Wow very impressive! I love your system! Would be awesome to win so I can start my own ????
love, love your system!! Where did you find the media shelves? I have so many dies and I am looking for a better way to store them. thanks for the ideas and the chance to win!! I did check out the cd case, but the s/h is rather high.
thanks!!
Becca,
Reading your answers to questions is almost as exciting as seeing a new creation! You are such a delightful lady! Winning these storage cases would be fantastic, thanks for the chance! Have a great day.
Love this storage idea! Saves so much time looking for dies and stamps! Thank you so much for sharing!
Really wonderful idea for being storage conscious and creative at the same time. This is one idea I’m going to try.
Oh wow! What a collection of dies. I would love to see your entire scrapping room. I love the way everything is so neat and organized. Thanks for the opportunity to win the storage items.
I love your storage system. This makes it a lot easier to know what you have and you won’t buy doubles, as well as making it easier to pull stamps and dies when your going to a crop. I have started but I have a ways to go. Thank you for sharing.
Becca, your additional comments are answering a lot of my questions…thank you so much. I have an extensive collection of dies – my thing too – and am searching for a better way to store them. I have an Excel spread sheet on my phone, i-Pad, and computer so I can tell when shopping what I have. However, it does not allow me to SEE what I have without going thru my two zippered 3″ binders sorted with an A-Z dividers and stored in photo inserts with a magnet piece…I do file by shape (rectangle under R, circles under C, and also by item – flower under F). These binders are VERY heavy now and totally full – and this is only my Spellbinder dies! I have LOTS of Cheery Lynn Designs, as well as the companies you mentioned and they are in snap ware again A-Z, etc. Your way seems to be ideal, and you mention you have a catalog…can you please describe your catalog and how you index it…pretty please.
Paper Hugs,
Jan
Hi Becca, thanks so much for sharing this information. I’m always looking for the best containers to store my dies and have yet to find one that will fit my needs. Do these DVD cases allow you to also store Edgeabilities and Borderabilities? I used to use regular Jewel CD cases for my Spellbinders dies, but they’d break apart too quickly. Thanks
Wow! I should be so lucky to have a space like yours. What a good idea using the CD & DVD cases. I love your work. You inspire me.
I love the storage system
I reallllly appreciate your answering our questions regarding your storage system for dies. It is a big thing to keep organized or we waste a lot of time hunting for stuff and that takes the fun right out of making cards and such. Thanks for your input, too, on putting a cut die in each dvd case so you can see how it cuts. That makes perfect sense. Also, the die catalog you made to peruse what you want to use, is a perfect solution instead of thumbing through dies looking for “just the right one.”
I am so very impressed with the way you store your dies. Die-cutting is also my weakness. Even though you have talked about your storage system before I think I am ready to try your way. Now if we could see the rest of your room. That would be great!!
Can I come play in your craft room??????? I knew you had a lot of dies just based on the years I’ve spent following your blog and seeing all of your marvelous creations – but to see them stored this way, just blows me away!!
Great giveaway! Thanks! You have such great ideas for storage and organizing – you should write a book!
Thanks for all your inspirations. Would love to win the “goodies” being offered. I can always use some organization. :-)
Thanks for the tips. I am always looking for more efficient ways to work. Your work area looks so organized and neat. Thanks to you and tape online.
EEKKK!!! I forgot to comment again on Saturday and Sunday! Hope that won’t penalize me too much! Thanks for answering my question about what program you used for your labels, Becca! I had considered using those full sheets too and doing the Excel thing but when Tape on Line added those nice ACE individual labels I decided to with that. The Copic color markers are working well for me. I made a paper “Key” so I know what color stands for what. (Visual people like paper copies!) As I use the system more, I am becoming more familiar with what the colors stand for and don’t have to use the key as often. Would love to win more cases but am not too concerned. Hubby says he can install the media rack for me when we rearrange/remodel my craft room. Yea!!! Can’t wait for that to happen!
Thank you for sharing your idea of how to store your dies….I use a similar idea, though not as organized as you are. I have used DVD and CD cases in the past, but not from Tape Online…I hope I win so I can try them out. Thanks for this opportunity
Thank you so much for this post. I have a very small collection of dies but I also need to have them within easy reach or I just don’t use them. You have given me several ideas! I have been pondering what to do for storage. Hopefully I’ll get it all organized soon! I work (play) so much better when it is organized. I especially like your labeling/organizing of shape type. I’ll have to try that.
Thank you for offering a chance to win some of these cases!
WOW! Now that is a collection of dies, what a great way to store them. I definitely need some organization. Thanks for the chance.
Hugs,
Antonella
My dies are all over the place. Sure could use some organization to them. Thanks for the chance to win them.
Ordered a shelf for my dies. Now I just need to win these cases for my dies! Fingers are crossed:)
I’ve got my stamps organized but my dies are still an issue. Your ideas may be what I need.
Carol b(cc)
Your room is awesome! I have been storing my dies on the package they came in held on with some magnets. Not the best setup. Thanks for the chance to win. I surely could use them!
Love the cards you make and have learned so much from your tutorials! Thanks you for all you do!!!
I would love to win this prize. I love your cards.
Everything looks so organized and neat. Can not say the same about my die collection. I’m sure these cases would be very helpful if I’m lucky enough to win some.
Thank you for the chance to win Becca.
Thanks for sharing!
My mind has been racing since I read this post. I can’t wait to start phasing in this new way to store my dies. Thanks again.
Thank you for all your wonderful ideas and tips. I have already purchased some of the storage cases from your link provided and would love to win some more to add my newly purchased dies.
Thanks again for another excellent idea-filled post. And for sharing your source for the cases and magnet sheets.
I am a LOT bit jealous of your die collection WOW! What a fabulous opportunity to win. I’m looking for a different way to store my dies and this might just be it.
Thanks again Becca for all your amazing help to everybody in this world, no matter what it´s about, then we can always count on you to help us,if we have any questions about anything.
I absolutely love your collection, and sure wish I was your next door neighbour, so I could run in and borrow, when I miss one ha ha ha, and just to flip through all your dies would definitely put my brain to work, I´m sure, an it would be like heaven. Not to mention how much one could learn just by watching over your shoulders, while working. I would sure love just to see your craftroom, maybe I should drop in, when we go to visit the US in the fall ha ha ha
Good morning Becca,
You have a brilliant storage system and i am going on the hunt today to see if i can see similar across here in Scotland. Good luck to all your entries and thank you for making this giveaway possible,
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil, Scotland)
Hi Becca. Wow, what a great organized space for your dies! I would love to see more of your craft room to get more storage ideas. I have my stamps in old CD cases and am waiting to get more cases for my dies as this system works really well for me too. Thank you for offering a prize to us folks in the UK, that is very thoughtful of you : ) Take care.
Love your work. Thank you for the inspiration and wonderful cards. Extra big thanks for sharing your storage ideas. It is great to see how others work and create. Have a great crafty day.
This has been such an interesting few days with all the comments on organizing our craft rooms with die storage solutions. I personally would be delighted to see how you set up around your work station the items used to make cards; like ribbons, embellishments, inks, and all. I’m all for having it all visible so everything gets used. Again, thank you for giving us the opportunity to win some great products.
Hi Becca, I’m looking forward to when you start posting cards again !! My craft room starts off organised but I end up working in a 6″ square space because, like you, I like things to hand and don’t want to be up and down all the time. Unfortunately I can’t say that my cards are as beautiful as yours, but I do try! By the way is 10.53 a.m. in the UK xx
Thanks for the organizational ideas Becca!
Thank you foar sharing your organization tips with us. Your room looks amazing. Many thanks for offering a prize to us. Always looking forward to your ideas and card designs
Thanks for all the inspiration you provide–your beautiful cards and now how to organize, too. We all appreciate you so much. I look forward to whatever is next!
Glad to see today come, some lucky person is going to win an awesome set of storage containers. I hope its me, but whoever it is will be very excited I am sure. Thanks for giving us another chance to win this system I love all of your work.
Fingers crossed to win but if its not me Congratulations to the Winner. Sure
would love to be as organized as you are Becca, Im tryin.
Reading all of these comments and all your inspiration I think I need to organize!
I like how organized and neat your storage is. Thanks for the chance to win!
WOW, what a generous offer! I have wafer-thin dies from several manufacturers and need a better way to store them. I keep mine in their original packaging and it is not working. I would love to win your giveaway and get jumpstarted with a more efficient storage system. Thank you also for the information on the racks.
Thanks for sharing your storage system. Love the media shelf it certainly makes the most of your space. Thanks for the chance to win.
WOW, that is fantastic, I’m so envious.
I love your cards and storage ideas. Thx
Wishing you a great day and to thank you for posting such beautiful projects on your blog. Someday we may all be organized and then again maybe not.
Thanks for all of your useful tips for storing your dies. They seem so simple yet so effective. You are an inspiration to all of us.
The count is 436………. can’t see me winning anything in that collosal amount Becca!
But here goes anyway
That is the tidiest office I have ever seen!
Well done
Take Care
Love Marg
I’m from Canada so I know I don’t have a chance for the cases. Thanks for the alterative Becca. I have started storing with similar cases. Just need to fine more magnet sheets.
I have been leaving comments in hopes that I am the lucky winner of this amazing prize package so I can get my dies corralled and more manageable but I don’t think I have thanked you yet for sharing this very detailed and helpful post. So, THANK YOU for sharing this information with us!
I have done tons of research on how the best way to store dies is and after learning MANY ways to store them I have come to the conclusion that this way is the one that would best suit MY die storage needs. I know that everyone prefers a different system but after trying lots of ways and being frustrated with them all this way seems like it would suit my needs. The only thing holding me back is cost so winning this would enable me to give this storage solution a try sooner than later.
I will be keeping my fingers crossed hoping to see my name later today as the incredibly blessed recipient of this prize package! If I don’t win then I will still be happy for whoever does win. Jealous but happy for them! Thank you for the chance to get started on organizing my rather large die collection!
Have a great day and I will be stopping by later to see who won!
Just love your storage and your room is so tidy I love it!
Great storage. Your the best. Thanks for sharing
I’m probably too late for the give-away, but wanted to comment that I love your system… I wish my room looked like this!
Your cards are always beautiful!
I know I’m to late for the giveaway but, I wanted to say WOW!!! Thanks for the information. I just wish my room could be that organized. I’m trying now to get all my stamps and dies organized and I really like your system. Thanks Becca!
I’m checking back to see if you have announced the winner yet…and I don’t think you have, or I don’t know where to look. I’m keeping my fingers and toes crossed.
One last try at winning those great products from tape on line!
Thanks for the storage tips, Becca – would love to try these!
Thanks for anotber chance!
Great system, Becca. And very nice giveaway. Your butterflies are beautiful.
A second chance – love it!
As usual, you never fail to amaze me. My most favorite blog of all and one dies are my life thanks to you. Thank you so much for all your wonderful ideas. I have been using CD cases for my dies since you mentioned it quite a while ago but not as organized as you. God bless.
Would love to win these cases as I seem to acquire new dies every week. May 27th also happens to be my b’day so maybe it will be a lucky day for me. Love all your cards – you are such an inspiration.
I love this storage system. I have the Art Bin, but think I would like these better.
A great storage idea
God Bless

I bought a set of 50 of these cases after seeing them on a previous post on your blog. Ive organized all my stamps and my craftroom looks amazing. It so easy to select my stamps and get right to work on my project now. I need some more cases to organize my dies now so I hope I win these. Thanks so much for showing us your organizing tips. And I Love all your beautiful cards you share.
Any new and creative ideas about making my craft room more organized is greatly appreciated. Love your work. It gives me a lot of inspiration.
Thank you.
Becca these containers would be a great way to get me motivated to start organizing my craft room. Thank you for sharing your wonderful craft room ideas.
I absolutely adore this butterfly card…not only are the colors so soft and pretty, but…it feels so freeing – can’t help but think of the miracle of how butterflies are created!
I could really use this great storage system to get all of my thin dies organized. Thanks for the chance to try it out.
Bekka, I think I could make progress completing my cards if my studio had this much organizatioin. I love your cards and you are such an inspiration to so many including me. I would love to win the clear cases but if it is not to be this time around I will just have to buy some from tape on line. Thanks for the heads up on where to get them.
Love this ideal. I especially love how thin it is.

Hi Becca
I’m only just reading this post and just habe to tell you that this is exactly how I store my dies only mine are in the black dvd slim cases that I get very cheaply from the discount store. I print out a lovely colourful sleeve showing me exactly what is in there. Inside I also cut down pieces of magnetic storage sheet and find that as long as it is long enough to sit all the dies on length ways, it doesn’t need to be the whole width to keep them in place. These are stored on a dvd shelf/rack turned so that tney are stored horizontally. I managed to set up so that the description fit right on the spine of the case too (that took some doing!). I then group them into nestabilities, shapeabilities, labels etc then the nesties split into squares, circles, ovals etc, and the shapeabilities into group I.e. Christmas, nature, Accessories. I haven’t got a fraction of what you have (not many people have lol), but I have had this system since the beginning when I bought my first die cutting machine back at Christmas 2009 – way before I began blogging and finding lots of wonderful alternative storage ideas. However, I think this system works brilliantly – it seems that great minds think alike!!
Thanks for sharing your way of organising your dies!
