So I've spent much of the past week and a half or so digging in my storage rooms, discovering, purging and organizing things I haven't seen since I moved out of my house just about 3 years ago. Some of what I've run across has caused me to raise an eyebrow, and some has been cause for celebration. One example of the latter category was running across a generous supply of now-retired Stampin' Up! magnetic sheets. In fact that discovery was SO exciting I think I literally exclaimed aloud! You see, I've been out of magnetic sheets recently, and consequently have been struggling with storing my new "Delicate Ornament Thinlits Dies". Seemed I only had a choice of leaving them stuck (and I do mean STUCK) to the sheet they arrived on, risking bending them out of shape every time I peeled them off, or dumping them loose into their plastic jacket. And neither option was making me very happy.
So it was particularly exciting to run across this generous stash of magnet sheets, even though retired. And now that I've tamed my "Delicate Ornaments" dilemma, here's my simple tip:
- Cut a piece of magnet sheet (5-1/8" x 6" works for this set), and (because it's peel-and-stick) adhere it to a piece of cardstock or DSP backing board exactly the same size. (Get your dimensions by measuring your storage envelope and choosing measurements slightly smaller.)
- Arrange the dies, flat-side-down, so they fit on the magnet sheet.
- Insert into the storage envelope.
- Stop being frustrated!
That's all there is to it! Sometimes, it's just the little things that make me big-time happy!
