Spellbinders
Although I have a Cricut Expression that would cut the same things as Spellbinders I still like to purchase them. The advantages of the Spellbinders are they emboss and provide you a stencil should you want to chalk or add color. This gives you 3 items in one element.
I use the 40% off coupon that HL puts out every other week to buy these because they can be pretty expensive. If you keep your eyes open and check sometimes you can find the smaller ones at a bargain of a deal.
However, I needed to revamp how I stored these little gems because I forget what I have if they are not easily accessible.
I had to re-organize my growing collection of acrylic stamps and in doing so I had these jewel cases left over. So and idea struck and since Spellbinders are metal I decided to use magnetic tape and the jewel case to house my Spellbinders. This magnetic tape is about $4 or $5 for 10′ at M’s.
You can get various strengths of magnetic tape and sheets. This one could have stood to be a little stronger but I found if I added and extra strip it held the Spellbinders in place.
I recycled the old jewel case covers by flipping them over and running them back through the computer with the names of the various Spellbinders. Lucky me, I saved the cut file and the original word file, if I needed a new one it was simple to cut.
I roughly eyeballed the length I needed for each Spellbinder.
I applied the tape to the cover. This way when I pull the jewel case out I can flip it over and see what I’m looking for very clearly.
I also used some glue dots on the cover to hold the cardstock in place after I attached the Spellbinders. The weight of the Spellbinders made the cover fall but with the help of the glue dot they worked perfectly.
These stack up very nicely in the CD case and now they are at arms length. Looks like I might need to add another glue dot on the Fleur DE Lise one.
What did I do with my Acrylic Stamps? I wanted to be able to flip through all of them at once so I bought Paper Studio Binders and fillers. This way when I need a stamp I can quickly flip through the binder and see what I have. I also changed over to binders for my CB embossing folders. I’m a very visual person and need to be able to see what all I have available at one time.
Needless to say the “Woman Cave” is constantly in a state of flux. The major positioning of Jet Max Cubes and workspace has not changed. It works perfectly, but how I organize the things inside that I use is always changing. Eventually, I’ll get it just right!
