I had been keeping my Nestabilities in a binder with magnet pages. This system seemed to work pretty well except that the magnet pages were flexible and when I would turn the pages some of the dies would fall off.
I had a Creative Memories photo box that wasn't being used and had extra white plastic divider cards. These boxes are great. I use them to store my photos in. They come with 3 box inserts inside. I used my ATG gun to adhere magnet sheets to the plastic cards. As you can see, you can store 2 sets on each card of some of the sets. I put squares & rectangles (will hold long rectangles) in one of the box inserts and circles and ovals in another and labels in the third. There is still plenty of room for more.
I love this idea. I have one of these that I store clear stamps in. I've been storing nesties in a binder and didn't like that, and have been trying to decide what else to do with them. I'll have to get another one.
I love, love love thsi idea. It will work so much better for me than the binder book! Much easier to get out!!!! Thanks so much for sharing!
I will add my quickuts cookie cutter dies to this box too!
I use a different method. On the front of our phone books, is a magnetic square that goes on the refrigerator. Just advertisement things. Well I take those off and put in a cd case and put the nesties in there. They cling to the magnet and stay all nice. I put each set to a case.
I love, love love thsi idea. It will work so much better for me than the binder book! Much easier to get out!!!! Thanks so much for sharing!

I think I might do the same. There is a lot of room left in the box.
I think that I will be able to order more of the plastic divider cards from Creative Memories.
Thanks for the idea.
Thank you so much for sharing this idea. All the other ideas i've seen just take up too much space or won't work with my work space. This is perfect! Now to contact my rep.

What a great idea! I viewed CM web site to place an order discovering there are 3 different styles. Which box did you use? Power Sort Mini Box, Power Sort Box, or Power Sort Memorabilia Box?
I borrowed an idea I saw somewhere here on SCS (sorry, I don't recall where anymore): I bought a roll of magnet. It's kind of like thick paper except that it's a sheet of magnet. It comes rolled up in a long box (the same shape as a saran wrap box). It has a sticky backing, which I removed. I slapped the sheet on the wall. (Hope I don't lose my damage deposit over that!) Anyhow, I can see my nesties (if I don't see things, I don't use them), they're easy to get at, and they don't take up precious desk, floor, or bookcase space!
A friend of mine found 6 by 6 inch or so magnetic plates at a dollar store - and she has one for every set of nesties - and keeps the whole lot in a plastic case!! I've yet to search for that dollar store - but that was a lot easier than what I do - keep all of the cases from the nesties in there packages - some great ideas here!!
I know CM makes an excellent product. I have used these for my photos and never thought they would help me organize and protect my die cuts too. WOW! I placed an order with CM for the power sort mini boxes + extra dividers. I am sooooooooooooooo excited and looking forward to being organized. I also love the tabs make it easy and visible to see the name of the die too. These boxes are very easy to pick up and take with me to crops and workshops too. I am sooooooooo excited. Thank you for sharing with all of us I am grateful. Lolita
[QUOTE=misse336;13736669]Can you tell me how many sets total you have in the box? Thanks
