Craft Organization - Wafer Thin Die Storage **Deflecto & Beacon**

My wafer thin metal storage is a mess and I desperately needed to organize it so I could find my dies and actually use them!!  They were in such a huge mess that I hated to delve into the stash and find the one to use since they would just spill on to the floor when I opened my cabinet.  So here is my way to fix this problem so I can find the die I want to use and not break the bank on a way to store them!!

I used a couple of different methods to store the dies, but the main idea is to use a thick cardstock with a Deflecto magnetic sheet glued to it with Beacon Power Tac glue and slip these magnetic sheets into a plastic Deflecto pouch (or when I ran out a plastic wrapper the dies came in) and then place the pouches in a Heidi Swapp Memory book I had laying around.  

Check out my full video tutorial on how I made this DIY Wafter Thin Die Storage below!

Now I can find my dies very easily so I will use them more and also store them on a shelf and they look pretty and not just a giant mess!!

I can even store my stamps and dies that work together in one pouch!!!  Double win!!

"Faith" Shabby Chic Card **Canvas Corp & Tattered Angels & 7 Gypsies & Creative Embellishments & Die~Namites Dies** w/Video

I love to make pretty cards, and this is the next installment of my pretty card trend I am on.  There is going to be more, I just love making these things!!  I just did a card in yellow, maybe green is next!!

I love the idea of a mostly single color card, with just hints of other neutral colors added in there.  I also liked the idea of keeping the theme neutral as well.  So Faith could work for a baby shower, new baby, wedding, wedding shower, anniversary, birthday, get well, sympathy, mother's day; really the list could do on and on.  So for now this card is in my stash ready for my next event to use it at. 

Check out my video tutorial to see how to make this pretty card!! 

I love the textures that chipboard brings out in cards, it just add a little something to it don't ya think?  For this I used the amazing Creative Embellishments Dripping Heart Lace Chipboard, "Faith" word form the Adventure Word Set, and Burlap Stamp.

 

To add to the layers of the card I cut out a set of dies from Die~Namites Dies "Pompom" in ivory cardstock.  It just adds a little something to the card with all the other layers, adds a little bit a beauty!

Wonderful new dies are now available in the store!!  Check them out HERE!  

You know you want some dies now, right?

Dream Card **Die~Namites & So Suzy Stamps Blog Hop** w/Prize!!

 Welcome to the Die-Namites / So Suzy Stamps Design Team 

Blog Hop!!

We are ecstatic that you're here!! Please hop along yesterday and today (2/19 - 2/20), as we share with you our projects that incorporate beautiful dies with awesome high quality stamps. Each day we'll have new projects featuring talented artist from 2 amazing design teams!

Here is my project and info.  More blog hop info is at the bottom of the post.

I wanted to create an elegant card that would be an all purpose card for birthdays, anniversaries, wedding, etc but pull in the colors of spring.  Here in Texas we are warming up and flowers are starting to come out...spring has sprung!  Let's just hope that we do not have a frost and kill everything off!

 

I really wanted to play with the idea of the soft, so I made these cute little flowers (come back soon for this flower tutorial) and tucked in lace, bling, fluffy yellow rope pulled apart, all layered over the die cut leaves and chipboard. 

I used the amazing Die~Namites dies for the background leaves cut from kraft cardstock.  I used the Knobby Branch and Field Grasses as the the top and bottom.  I then used the Rose Leaves tucked into the left side under the large flower.

 

I also used the So Suzy Stamps in the background with the Bird Swirl stamp and then I stamped the Dream stamp in ivory cardstock and cut it out for the title.   I inked everything in light brown ink.
