Prickley Pear Monday-Die Storage Share

Hello friends! Today, I want to share with you my die storage system for my Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps Coordinating Dies. It's nothing fancy, totally homemade, very inexpensive, and I love that I was able to customize it to my liking. I took some plain chipboard, covered it with Basic Grey Curio papers, bound it with my Cinch, and added some magnets. The magnets are strong enough to hold the dies on without them falling off and the dies are easy to remove when I need to use them.

Here is the front cover. I used trims I purchased from Hobby Lobby. The bloomer trim was dyed with Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Sprays. I cut the label from the packaging that comes with the dies and attached it to a Scalloped Circle die cut.

Here is a little closeup:

Here is a peek at the inside:

I love this storage system! My dies are easily accessible, all in one place, and this book takes up minimal space. I hope I have inspired you to create your own die storage system or come up with a good way to store your own dies.

Thanks for stopping by!

Monday Share for Prickley Pear

Hello, friends!

Today, I would like to share a project with you featuring Prickley Pear rubber stamps. Valentine's Day is right around the corner and I am scrambling to get my Valentine's Day cards finished and in the mail! Here is a quick card I created using the Forever Yours red rubber stamp and the Heart with Daisy's red rubber stamp.

The adorable Heart with Daisy's image was colored with Copics and fussy cut. I adhered it using Pop-Up Glue Dots. Super quick and super easy! Definitely my kind of card!

Be sure to stop by the PPRS blog for some Design Team inspiration! Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,
A

I am very excited to share that I have been given an award by two amazing ladies, Melissa at Peace, Love, Joy, and Paper, and Tanya at Generation Promise. Thank you very much, ladies! It is such an honor and I am absolutely thrilled that you thought of me!

Liebster is German and means 'dearest' or 'beloved' but it can also mean 'favorite'.

The idea of the Liebster award is to bring attention to blogs with less than 200 followers. So, in the spirit of good fun I am passing this award on to five other bloggers.

Please stop by and visit them!

The Rules are:
1. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
2. Reveal your five picks for the award and let them know.
3. Post the award on your blog.
4. Bask in the love from the most supportive people on the blogshare-other bloggers.
