Storing Your Dies

Hello Friends,

I got my own cuttlebug few months ago and I knokw lot of you out there have die cutting machine too.
And when you start building up your collection of dies you have a question of how to store your dies. So I m going to show you how you can store dies.

This is just one of the way. There is another way of storing them and I ll post that one too within next week or so

First of all materials you will need.

magnetic sheet [find at A1 Craft Supply ]

ruler

scalpel/ craft knife

empty CD cases or CD sleeves

and ofcourse Dies.. lots and lots of dies... :)

Cut your magnetic sheet into 4 by 4 inches piece.

 From one sheet of 8 by 12 you can get six 4 by 4 pieces.

Now you have option to round the corner. I prefer clean look

But to do this you need heavy duty corner rounder and not cheap one. 

I used SDI Corner Rounder this rounder is worth the money u spend believe me!!

Now you have 2 options to useeither clear plastic CD case or CD sleeves.

CD sleeves will be available at A1 Craft Supply soon.

If you want to use CD sleeves than simply take ur die from its original packaging and put it on magnetic piece. on black side which is magnetic. 

And you simple slide it in CD sleeve.

Now you can cut a piece of cardstock and put name of your die on it and stick it in front of cover..

Each cover is has 2 pockets so u can put 2 dies in one.

Also this sleeves have hole at the top so once u are done start putting them in binder ring which again are available at A1 Craft Supply

I recommend 2" binder ring for this particular arrangement.

now if you are like me who has lot of empty CD cases at home than below is option for you.

 On all magnetic sheets there is colored backing on one side..

and once you remove it it reveals sticky side of the magnetic sheet..

Pulling off this backing will take a bit of effort. so dunt be scared to pull on it.

 Now stick this sticky magnetic piece on inside of your CD case centering it.

Again each CD case will hold 2 of your dies.

Now again remove dies from their packaging and put it in your CD case with magnetic sheet.

Now I just cut two of my tags and simply attached using ribbon. this ribbon was placed before attaching the magnetic sheet.

Alternatively you can stick the labels using glue as well.

Now when u place this CDs in your cupboards or CD storage racks they are going to be standing or lying. 

So what you have to do is cut a strip which is 1/4" and write name of both collections on it.

And stick it on the closed end of your CD.

[this might sound a bit confusing but its simple to understand once u have CD case in your hand]

This way you can see all your CDs with which collection it holds.

Hope this helps u to store your dies.

If you have query about any of this please feel free to get in touch.

Felt Flower All Occasion Cards

These are 2 very quick cards I made some time ago. They can be used for any occasion hence no sentiment on them yet.

Both these cards were made in less than 30 minutes including the die cutting part.
I have made them just tiny bit different from each other..

Supplies I used:
Papers: fabriano elle erre for layering, 300 gsm for base card
flowers are made using 3 dies: scallop circle, nelli snellen frame die and button in the centre is from same nellie snellen die.

All these products you can find at A1 Craft Supply

Thanks for taking your time and having a look at my cards.

A Quick Card With New Supplies

This is probably one of the quickest cards I have ever made..

Reason to make card in such a hurry?? Well as most of you know we got lot of new card making supplies at A1 Craft. And so my hand was itching to make card using those supplies.

I have just started stamping.. [Cant u tell looking at card??] Got only 4 ink pads by hobby ideas so not much of choice as of now.. But will build my stock slowly now.

So about all the supplies:
Paper: base paper is 300 gsm, layered with fabriano elle erre rosa.
Stamp: Alpha soup & Party time
Do u see that balloon in letter "P".. thats the new brads we got in stock. U can see them HERE.
Ribbon: Polka dot organza 1/2" wide in magenta color. you will see this being used frequently now since its my favourite ribbon.The best part about these ribbons is that it co-ordinates wonderfully with our new stock of Papermania Papers.

My New Bone Folder

Just 2 days ago I received my brand new bone folder.. & I m totally loving it!!!
take a look...

 

this pic doesnt do justice to how it looks.. its a perfect pink colour like that girly one.. n those tiny stones on it make it look so beautiful along with that print.. its martha stewart's bone folder.. though it looks a little costly but i feel bone folder is one of those things totally worth investing for..

Copics Arrive In India Now

Hello there,

just a quick post today. I am really busy these days but wanted to share a good news that Copic markers are now available in India. Himalaya Fine Art in Mumbai at Nana Chawk has them. Was on their site looking for something when I came across copics.

Now they may have come there quite  some time ago but I saw it just now n saw thought would let u know all. It says they have all copic colours n also Copic Air Brushing system.. I personally find them quite costly yet so I m not gonna buy yet.. but if any of u eager stampers were waiting for this than u should take a look. I know copics are something worth putting ur money in..

P.S.: I have no association with himalaya fine arts n in no way I m getting any benefits by posting this. This post is just for ur information..
