Default Cuttlebug storage??

How do you store your cuttlebug folders and dies? I just bought 11 more folders and they sit in a little box, but they aren't easily accessible! Any brilliant ideas???? TIA!!

i only have 3 right now...

i am storing them in a stamp & store box. they fit very nicely! looks like it will hodl at least 6.

and the smaller dies (4 in a set) fit nicely in a CD case. you could stack 2 sets actually.

i just cut the corner from the package and attached it to the inside of the lid.

good luck!


i'll be checking back to see what others come up with.
but for me right now... don't fix it if it ain't broke!

I have some extra PSB binder pages (made for scrapbookers to hold stickers, templates, etc) and I put them in a lightweight 12x12 plastic album, it works great for me!

I have mine in my ScrapRack~ I either make a diecut or emboss and put it in with the folder in the appropriate section so I know what I have.

Default Cuttlebug storage

I store mine in a zip around binder. I went to my office supply store and bought the slide protector pages, baseball card pages, and CD protector pages. I store the small dies in the slide protector pages and two of the long dies fit in the CD protector pages, and 1 or 2 embossing folders fit in the CD protectors as well. For the small embossing folders I store them in the baseball card page protector. I also use the baseball card protector to store my sizzlit dies. I store them all in a zip around binder. If you also have quickutz dies they also fit in the slide protector pages, and then all of your small dies are in one spot. It is pretty handy!

This is what I do as well. I might have to get another binder though- 1 for dies and 1 for embossing. My collection is growing as it seems yours is too!

Me too! They're easy to see and they do fit perfectly. I keep the A2 embossing folders in one and the few dies I have in another.

I am keeping mine in small rectangular metal planters that Target had in their dollar section earlier this spring. The alphabets fit perfectly.

I got clear plastic pocket pages that fit into a 3 ring binder that hold the embossing folders and one that fit th die cuts (2x2 or 3x3). This way you can just flip through the pages and pick the one you want to use. They were really cheap too!

Just go on Ebay and search under Cuttlebug Storage.

Wow..I have so many. I love the bug. I have an Iris cart with the removeable cases. I use one of those and all my removeable cases are labeled so I can just grab and go. It works great for me. May have to move to one removeable case/drawer for embossing and one for cutting dies. And I need to quit buying more dies and folders....lol

The TAC GWP boxes are perfect for the seets of 4 - 2" dies and I store them in my empty SU Punch Box.

All of my large Sizzix dies and my CB A2 folders are in stacking cubes I got at Staples.

My 3 x 3 and small embossing CB folders and in a neat little snap box from Oriental Trading!

At lot of household storage containers work great in craft areas!

I use Lock-n-Lock containers for my re-inkers!

Look around at things in like Wal-Mart, Target, K-Mart and remember to think outside the scrapbook stores. They charge way more for the some of the same things!

I dedicated "one" of my totes from Michaels (you know the cute, $20 ones with the striped insides) for my Cuttlebug supplies. I have my large embossing folders and pads standing up in the big, center section. I have the small embossing folders in a little plastic container from Bed, Bath & Beyond and the small dies in a metal tin from Quickutz. I keep a couple of small pads of paper from DCWV in there, along with several coasters. I love that I can just pick it up and go to my stamping group.

does that tote hold the cuttlebug too? Is there a tote of some sort that holds it?

Good ideas still coming...love this!!! Thanks everyone!

I bought a cute box from the loonie store, but I'm not sure I like it, it's a pain to sift through the folders...I'm gonna keep looking!!!
