OK, I couldn't resist the Mike's 50% off coupon today, so I caved in and got the Cuttlebug. The manager that was trying to get someone to get me one from the back kept saying, "The Cricut, right?" I wish! Anyway, I digress.
How do you store your dies and embossing folders? I only have one die set (needed it right away - will get more on Friday with another coupon), but I don't want them to get out of hand before I come up with a storage solution. If I can't find it, I won't use it, y'know?
Also, I have to say that I am really rather happy to have something that I don't have to worry about retiring, even if I can't demo it.
I'm planning on using a lunchbox tin, if that's the right term. It has a handle on top and fits the embossing folders perfectly. I saw a gorgeous one all decorated somewhere on this site I think, sorry I can't remember who did it.
As for the dies, I've read about using clear sleeves in a binder but I'm not sure what I will do with mine yet.

This is what I do....I made dividers (used my tab punch!!) and I have all my folders and dies in there! I have 1 alpha die, 2 other small die sets and about 8 folders! Works perfect!! I have a pic in my gallery if needed!

I store mine right now in one of those snapware stackable holders that I got from target. They are plastic storage section of the store. It has 5 compartments and I store everything in there. Alphabets in one, dies in another, embossing folders and I even got the plates in there too. Holds quite a bit. I do like the lunch tin idea too.
I store mine in one of the little totes from all my memories that has all the little pockets... I know this prolly won't last long once I get more, but hey, the little thing was just sitting there with nothing else to do, so I thought why not give it a job! ;)
I broke down and got a Cuttlebug yesterday, too! I"m going to use other coupons from this week's Mike's ads for other dies.
For storage, I've got six drawers in my desk and have 1 still empty (miracle of miracles!!), so I'll probably use that for my dies. I'll get some small divider baskets for them.
I love the way my bug takes up so little room on my desk. I'm also glad to have something that won't retire and I'm really happy to have a tool to use for the craft fair side of my business.
I also just got a CB using the 50% coupon at Michaels. I just covered a lunch box which I will keep my dies in. I made the tabs with the new tab punch.
I am trying hard to get organized in my stamp room. If I only could get my teeange daughter to put my stamp supplies back when she uses them.
I got a Cuttlebug, but now I have a question!
