Tuesday Tip Time: No More Wondering What Die is Missing or IF a Die is Missing

Leave a Comment / March 5, 2024 / Stamp Sets, Stampin' Up! Dies, Tools

When I get a new set of dies I do three things as immediately as possible:

I make a photocopy of the set of dies – and I place this copy on the back side of the die folder so I can see what’s inside without opening the folder. This saves time when looking for a certain image or shape for a greeting.
I outline each die with a dark line on the thick paper it’s attached to inside the die folder.
I write the name of the dies and coordinating stamp set (if there is one), the order number, catalog and the price.

Taking these simple steps will help you when, several weeks, months or even years out, you wonder about the details of the dies.

Garden Meadow Dies plus printer paper copy of dies — Garden Meadow Dies plus printer paper copy of dies–my printer was misbehaving, hence the “stripes” of non-printed areas. I have a new printer now. The copy of the dies goes on the back side of the dies envelope/folder.

Close up of information related to the dies — Close up of information related to the dies ….. hmmmm, I left the price off!
