Default Storing Die Cut Machine Accessories

So I finally got a Big Kick and have gone a bit overboard buying Cuttlebug Dies, Sizzix Dies, embossing folders, texture plate, etc etc etc (So much fun stuff!)

Anyway, do you all have fun creative ways to store these goodies? Could you point me to some pictures and what not? I get the best ideas from you ladies!

To keep track of everything that I had, I was thinking of making up some kind of inventory binder with the die cut samples and texture samples. Has anyone done something like this?

Any input would be great. Thanks!

Woah, I am not that organized, but I have two SU tins from kits, and I keep the dies in one and the folders and plates (A.B.C, etc) in the other. Not too sophisticated, but it works for me!

I number all my diecuts, DC-1, DC-2 etc., then make a cut of each and put the cut in the appropriate section of my scraprack. That way, when I'm looking at for a particular theme, I know exactly what I have and can go to the drawer where I have them all stored by number and find it in seconds.

If you go to Targets dollar spot there are some small snap together plastic containers. They are green and red, they hold the cuttlebug dies perfectly.

I keep my sizzix in a drawer and some in baskets by themes. I just started with the cuddlebugs so I don't have too many and they are in a separte basket.

I keep my die cuts in a 3 1/2 inch floppy disk holder. Its the perfect size.

Cool! These are all great ideas!

mrsparker - I have the tins that the punch kits came in. Those are nice and big. I think I might put the bigger things in there.

9kids - That's a pretty neat system. You must be really organized!

Jillgunter - I saw those there but decided that I ddn't need them. I might have to buy some of these now.

Skyesmom - Thanks for the link! Those are adorable!

carolH - Baskets are a good idea. It makes it easy to flip through them.

DLS881 - Do they even make floppy disk holders anymore? lol I'll have to see if I still have one!

Thanks for all the great ideas ladies. I have a lot of this stuff laying around the house already. I may not even have to buy anything - although those tins from QuicKutz are too cute!

I have a photos in my gallery of how I store all of my CB stuff. I use the Cropper Hopper drawers that stack.

I started out with using sheet protectors with various size pockets but found that some of the smaller folders fell out or that the binder was just to cumbersome.

Supposedly Provo Craft is going to be coming out with a storage system this summer for the Cuttlebug stuff.
