Miss Pinks Craft Spot

If I don't tidy as I complete a project, I get overwhelmed before I know it.. yet I still don't always put away items before starting a new project. So one thing led to another the other evening, and I decided to give my cardstock storage an over hall, changing from colour family to RAINBOW! Before I store my cardstock in a corner of my studio which doesn't get any direct sunlight (which did make it a little difficult to get a good photo with colours), each colour is in  a clear plastic folder, labelled with colour which are then put in Magazine holders - The magazine holders are from IKEA, and the clear folders from Officeworks ( I got them a couple of years ago, I think they were Keji A4 Clear Letter Files).

Our wonderful bundles come with a package of Dies to make easy cutting of our stamped images, likewise there are layering circles, squares etc.  We receive our dies in sturdy packaging that provides both storage and details of the number of dies: I find that the double sided tape on the card becomes a bit tattered when I remove the dies, especially when I use them frequently, this annoys me so I find that I end up storing the Dies like this: Whilst this works perfectly well, it was also my undoing when I left a framelit on my workstation, luckily I was making a project the next day, I thought I was going mad thinking there was another swirly die or was there only 2 and it was a flower I was missing! But how could I be sure, the packaging only provides the total number of Dies, wha...
