My pleasure!
Great Thanks, x
Thank you, Jackie! x
So creative..thank you
Thank you too!
thank you so much for the beautiful card & the organization tips. Very helpful! Please feel free to do more ;-) Stamps & paper would be interesting. I'm going to look at your playlists to see if there are more there. Thanks again, Natalie. I am so amazed at how many beautiful cards you produce! Thanks for all the ideas.
Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement. 👍
Liked seeing how you keep your dies. I have trouble organizing my dies as well as stamps and embossing folders. I find it interesting when you do some of your projects and I when I saw you flip through your dies, I have some of the same ones. I like seeing items I have in projects as it gives me more ideas on how to use them. Thank you.
My pleasure! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. x
Stunning card, not seen that ink before but it’s beautiful. Really like how you organise your dies, makes so much more sense to me. Tfs
Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement. 👍
Thats a really pretty card. Love tbe background colouring.
Lovely card Natalie. Tfs xx
Thanks so much!
My first time with you. I'll be back!
Brilliant! Thanks, Kathy!
Love the storage tips Would love to see more of this. Very good sense!
Awesome! Thank you!
I’ve just found you and so enjoying your videos. Giving me lots of ideas thankyou.
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching, Ngaio! x
I just found your channel and I love your videos. Looks like I’ll be binge watching. 😀 I store my dies exactly the same way including my sentiment dies. Thanks for sharing your great videos and tips.
Thanks so much, Joanne! Glad to have you on board. x
Excellent! It was just so helpful! That is how my brain works as well. 👍🏻
Thanks, Robin! So glad it was helpful. x
I have always stored my stuff like for like. I’ve had trouble with magnetic sheets with some of them not being strong enough to hold multiple dies but this inspires me to keep this process and just look for a better product to use.
Great!
I love the way you used the corner positioner to position the aperture die - I have a set of those positioners, and never thought of using them that way.
Thanks, Jo! Glad you found it helpful. x
Ah ... you have a librarian's mind. My system is also based on categories but i use a portable file box since it was a gift. I cut out the dies and glued them to the front of the folder so I can be reminded at a glance of what I have. I store extra die cuts in the folders as well.
I appreciate the detail you add to the layer behind the apperture although most of it is hidden. Good call to stop where you did - I would have kept going and ruined it!
Thanks, Jean! Great idea to store spare die-cuts with your dies. I might try that. x
I'm in the 'pit of despair' (unfinished basement) so I decided to put my dies on a board on the wall. Same idea, I just bought large sheets of magnet and stuck them on there. If I don't see the dies, I don't use them! It's not neat and pretty such as you have, but it works. 😂 Your aperture card/die reminds me of a similar one I have. *haven't used it in years* I was just thinking there is another way for me to get rid of my excess patterned paper. WIN ;) tfs I think I need to periodically go through my stuff to remind me of what I have. 🙄😐 PS I have two of those art bin die sheets...I now use them to hold my dies when working on a project and again over at the die cutting machine to hold the dies when I finish with them.
Fab ideas! Thanks so much for sharing!. x
Lovely card. I really like all the texture on the background piece. It’s been a long time since I’ve used those types of dies to make a window. I need to get mine out. Thank you for the inspiration.
Thanks, Harriette! Glad you like it. X
Lovely card & thanks for sharing your die storage system. I may try it with nesting dies to see how it works for me. Thanks! So glad I found you
Thanks, Cathy! Glad it was helpful. x
I sandwich my dies between 2 A6 sheets of magnetic photo paper (2 A4 sheets for £1 from a pound shop then cut into 4) then label the top sheet and keep them in a Really Useful box. My overflow is on A5 and kept in an A5 plastic paper storage box.
Sounds like a great system! Thanks for sharing. x
I am so enjoying your videos. Always inspirational. Thank you. Xx
Thank you so much, Sandra! x
My brain works like yours for storage. In addition, I add my stencils, stamps, and embossing folders to my dies, keeping them separate in each section. Then I only have to look in 1 place for birthdays for example. Loving your videos.
That sounds like a great system! Thanks for sharing. x
Natalie glad you are creating videos of your cards; have been following you since first started posting on Clean and Simple. Your videos are very informative and inspiring! Do you recall the name of the fern die you used in this video? I store my dies on large magnetic sheets as well; makes it so much easier to find and organize!
Thanks so much, Laurie! I’ll see if I can find the fern die manufacturer and get back to you. x
Beautiful card and I loved your piano music in the background too!
Thank you so much, Tricia!
I store my dies in exactly the same way and have done this for a while now. It works because I can keep like with like eg flowers, animals, sentiments. I have mine in three bins- nesting dies, everyday and one for Christmas. The only difference is that I pop the magnetic sheets into either A4 (nesting dies) or A5 (everyday & Christmas) plastic sleeves. I did this as it prevents dies from falling off/rubbing against the back of the previous sheet. PS I'm pretty sure the aperture die you used on this card is from The Works as I have the very same!
Yes, it's from the Works - sadly they don't seem to do many dies any more. x
@NBcascards I asked when I noticed that the Works had v. few dies and was told that they could be bought online. I did look online and they also sold Crafters Companion stuff. I dont know if they still do it.
Same here😊
Very pretty card Natalie. Thank you.
Thank you so much, Jan! x
I really enjoyed seeing you make that background, bringing all those resources together was very inspiring. Thanks for sharing 😍
Thanks, Kerry. Glad you enjoyed it! x
love the card !
Thanks, Linda! x
Such a pretty card, and thanks for showing how you store your dies. It's definitely given me inspiration xx
Thanks, Tracy! Glad it was helpful. x
Beautiful card
Thank you so much, Angela! 😊
Ooooh! Another pretty aperture-die card! Those just speak to me every time. :) Victorian Velvet may well be my favorite distress oxide color.
I store my dies similarly: I adhere them to magnetic sheets too, but then each sheet is in a clear envelope that's labeled in the same corner. When I place these envelopes in the bin, I have the labels where I can easily read each one and I file them in alphabetical order, (e.g., animals, arches, birthday, edgers, frames, leaves, etc.). Saves sooooo much time each time I have a card-making session. (Plus I find organizing every bit as fun as the creating itself.) ; ) Thank you, Natalie!
That sounds like a great system! x
thats the way i store my dies as well. on 5x9 inch size in shoeboxes. works for me!! love your cards!!
Thanks, Suzanne! x
Beautiful card! I store my most used, smaller, individual dies on a magnet dry erase board and the rest on magnetic sheets in bins.
Thanks, Dawn! x
Beautiful card Natalie! Love the background.
Thanks so much!
Great card❤ I love these types of aperture dies.
Thanks, Nan! x
First time seeing you today and you have made exactly the kind of card I love to make, it is beautiful 😊. Die storage was a bonus. I’ve subscribed!😊😊
Thanks so much, Jacqui! Glad to have you on board. xxx
Pretty card I must say. I don’t have many dies but I really need to update how I store them. Jenny ❤😊
Thanks, Jennifer! x
Lovely card, very pretty. I use a very similar system for my dies.
Thanks, Michele! x
Love this card. I have a old wardrobe that my hubby added shelves to I try and keep my dies in there and just pull out what I want every now and then I get them all out to rearrange and thats when I find out I have multiple dies the same lol, so now i am in the middle of getting the magnetic sheets and bins before I get over run with dies lol...xx
Thanks, Pauline! It's funny how we can forget what we have and end up with more than one, isn't it!? :)
Love love love the card, wow!!! Beautiful background panel that’s seen through the aperture! But also, I love how you chopped that in half to the butterfly from, wow! Loved the continuity!
Where did you get the aperture die? I’m searching high and low for some aperture dies and I can’t find any, ahhhhh! lol! (I’m in the US though, so any online place you can point me to would be so great, or what do I search?)
Anywho, thank you for sharing!!!❤❤❤
Tim Holtz has aperture dies. A couple of different sets I think.
Thanks, Stacy! This particular die is a few years old and from a shop here in the UK. I don't think it's available any more. Sizzix do some though. Search for 'sizzix mixed media die' and you should find some. Also search for aperture die, cut-in dies, peekaboo dies, see through dies. Anything you can think of really! Best of luck. x
Also, you could ask in the Facebook Group for US recommendations. I'm sure someone there could point you in the right direction. x
I've recently grown out of my artbin too! I've started storing my dies in exactly the same way as you, but I keep each magnetic sheet in an A5 size see-through plastic wallet in case the dies get knocked off. Loving your cards & really enjoying your videos, thanks so much!
That sounds like a good way of keeping your dies safe. thanks for watching. x
Natalie I am loving your videos and especially that aperture die, can you share the name and brand? Thank you!
Thank you! It's a die I got from The Works a few years ago. I don't think it's available anymore, but you might find it second hand somewhere www.theworks.co.uk/p/art-and-craft-sale/2-large-lace-style-metal-cutting-dies/5052089249752.html
I've just recently found your channel and am enjoying your creations. I need to make a similar card .... Scary to think i have a similar sort of stash!
Plus I'm about to go through and reorganise my dies so thanks for that inspiration
Thanks, Julie! Glad to have you on board. x
