Questions & Answers
I go to Home Depot or Lowes and purchase the "Frost King Magnetic Vent Covers," which are 8" wide by 15" long. THEY ARE CHEAP AND LARGER THAN ANYTHING else I've seen on the market. There are three in a package, and a pack cost me less than $5. I have a lot of dies that will cut with your Fiskars cutter or whatever you have, and then I back them with a heavy weight paper that I get from Walmart for about $4. I adore these AVERY ELLE packs and will put money aside to purchase them, but I am disabled and have a limited budget. That is why I need to shop around for the cheapest option that also meets my requirements. For me and other crafters I know, this has worked out perfectly. In fact, it was a youtube crafter who shared the news. I hope this has been of assistance.
Larger dies and stamp sets are held in separate pockets. For my storage needs, this is the highest quality I've found.
Although the plastic is thin, it is strong. I use them to store stamps and medtal dies without having to worry about the pastic tearing from the sharp corners.
They tuck in, but I'm concerned that my smaller pieces will fall out anyway. To keep them closed, I use a small piece of double-sided tape.

I saw a recommendation for these on the internet from one of the most well-known people in the industry. On You Tube, you can find a list of top-rated cardmakers. I wanted to organize my stamps and dies for cardmaking. And, particularly - in exchange for the stamps - to prevent dust from accumulating on them These have excellent quality - To fit inside the sleeves, I cut some white cardstock. You can also put any dies that coordinate with your stamps on the backside of the cardstock to make the stamps inside stand out more clearly. In addition, I recently removed the rubber stamp images from my wood-burning stove. I'm going to use them on acrylic blocks after mounting them. I stamped the images on white cardstock and mounted the rubber stamps on EZ mount cling sheets before inserting them into the envelopes. Better organization, cleaner stamps, and significantly less storage space are all advantages. These are also of excellent quality - It's not made of cheap plastic. They're sturdy, with a flap to tuck in when your stamps/dies are inside, and they're strong enough not to tear with regular use.
These were suggested for storing dies and stamps. They won't last forever because some of them tore as I inserted the stamps. They do help because they, along with cardstock inserts cut to size and storage boxes where all stamps can stand on their ends, have made my crafting area much more organized. I separated them into categories, numbered each stamp, and created a digital master sheet. It certainly simplifies the stamping process!.
I increased the number to four. I gave them four stars for durability, but I don't know how long they'll last because I just got them and haven't put anything in them yet. The look and feel of the bags, as well as the ease with which I can access my stamp sets, are both appealing to me. As stated in one of the reviews, none of my bags tore when I was adding cardstock and stamps to them. Update; br>br> I've been using these bags for quite some time and am still pleased with their quality. I will reorder.
When combined with magnetic sheets, they were ideal. On the back side, there's enough room for the magnetic sheet, a set of cutting Dies, and a set of rubber stamps, and I just add a piece of cardstock cut to fit for stability when storing stamps only. At the top, there is a flap that can be folded over. I leave them upright so I can label them, making it easier to find what I'm looking for.
These are fairly sturdy and hold my clear stamps well; however, they are a tight fit for my foam-backed rubber stamps. If you aren't careful when removing the stamps from the pockets, they will rip at the seams.
I'm not sure if this is a copycat product or not. I was suspicious of a few things. The following measurements are printed right on the Avery Elle envelopes I've previously purchased: The envelopes were 5 1/2" x 7 3/8" and the cards were 5 5/8" x 7 3/8". I compared one of these to one of my older ones, and they were exactly the same size; however, the ones I already had had a cardboard insert over the top, whereas this one did not. I'm not sure if another company is selling these as "dupes" using their logo, name, and other details, or if they are truly made by Avery Elle. This set of pockets appears to be a tad thinner, but only slightly. They appear to be in good working order, and I'm hoping for the same level of quality, i. e. They'll last a long time because I'll be putting stamps and magnetic die sheets in and out of them.
These storage bags are one of my favorites. They're ideal for using with my dies. I kept the original spellbinder cardboard backing and used Home Depot's magnetic a/c vent covers. A package of three dies that had been cut down perfectly fit about 16 sets of dies.
Two days before the estimated delivery date, the package arrived. For my scrapbooking dies, I really like the storage envelope. It works well to keep my dies in by cutting a sheet of magnet to fit inside the envelope. The dies placed on the magnet can be seen through the clear envelope. So far, I've bought two sets of envelopes.
