Die Cut and Punches Inventory/Organization
Posted by Becca Feeken on Tuesday, February 19th, 2008
It became difficult to remember what I had in the way of punches so from time to time I would purchase one only to get home and find out that I already had it.
One rainy day, I sat down and took on the task of creating samples of each punch and die cut as a reference. These samples are kept in a notebook small enough that I can tuck it under my arm and carry it to the craft store. Honestly, the punches and die cuts come to life when you actually cut them out. This book has saved me time and time again from purchasing duplicates. In addition, it has helpted me figure out what punches I want to add to my collection and which ones will layer with others as well as which nested shapes I want.
The book worked out so well for me that I added samples of all the Cuttlebug embossing folders including the small sets of four. Here again, all these templates come alive when you press them out . I can carry the notebook to my table and flip through it at my leisure instead of having to rummage through the many drawers that currently store my punches.

Great idea, I can not remember half the time what I have
And I keep getting more.
Looks like I will be busy for a few days or weeks.[LOL]
Many thanks for showing
I just love this idea. Maybe I can get my act together and do one for me.
Your organization of “everything” is what I need and after seeing your expert ways in the big “O” field, I do believe I’ll have to copy some of your ideas - especially the Sizzix dies! Wow! I am so glad I found your
blog today, thru another one on Gingerwood. You are a fantastic card artist also, and it seems we both share the same likes in stamps, dies and supplies! Thanks for sharing your “everythings” with the public!

What a fantastic idea…
the amount of duplicate punches I have bought! luckily they get a new home with my niece but I could have bought others that I wanted instead and just let her borrow them all
WHOA! you are out of control girl! I cannot believe how organized you are…are you ocd???
great ideas, if I loved to organize stuff. I love it organized but get too side tracked to do it!
I want to create once I sit in my craft room!
but this could also be the wonderful reason that you are soooo effective in your awesome creativity.
great job!
