Aside from paper, stamps and dies are two of the most essential elements for cardmaking. Your collection often grows as you develop your paper crafting skills. While having various stamps and dies to choose from is beneficial, storing and organizing these supplies can be challenging. First, you must decide how to sort and categorize your sets. You might sort them by brand, season, occasion, or size. Once you decide how to sort them, it’s time to figure out which storage method works best for you. Organizing with Acrylic Crates not only maximizes your space, but it also keeps your stamp and die sets easy to access. Storage pockets provide a way to label your matching stamp and die sets stored inside on a Magnet Card. It's that simple!

The Acrylic Crate Method

Step 1: Adhere your wafer dies to Magnet Cards. Stamp-n-Storage Magnet Cards are made from a strong magnet material and sturdy chipboard keeping your dies in place. 

Step 2: Adhere clear stamps to the back of your Stamp-n-Storage Magnet Cards. The backing has a special coating that allows you to store both your stamps and dies on one Magnet Card!

Step 3: Once your Magnet Cards are full, keep them in Storage Pockets. Storage Pockets are perfect for keeping your matching sets together, visibly labeled, and easily accessible! 

Step 4: Label your Storage Pockets and sort them into categories. Don't forget this step. You'll never regret labeling your supplies.

Step 5: To make identifying your stamps and dies even more manageable, use Crate Dividers! This keeps your categories, themes, or brands neatly organized.

Step 6: Once your stamps and dies are sorted and stored in Storage Pockets, grab an Acrylic Crate. Your Stamp & Dies sets will not be easy to browse through by simply flipping through the pockets to find what you need!
