Storage for thin metal dies - my solution

I've tried various methods of storage for my thin metal dies. My last system involved putting them on A4 magnetic sheets in folders with plastic pockets. I also had a storage folder with smaller sheets in A6 sized pockets. However, the folders were heavy to move and browse through, it was also a faff getting stuff in and out of the pockets. 

I'm much happier with my current system - thin A4 magnetic sheets backed by thick card, stored in a couple of plastic Really Useful Boxes. The boxes need to be strong, so the plastic ones are ideal. They are very heavy, but the beauty of this system is that the boxes have  permanent homes and I can easily flip through to find the sheet that I need, removal and putting back are fuss free.  

To make it easier to organise, I added header tabs to some sheets, as you can see from these step by step pictures. The scalloped tabs are made from Kanban mini scrap book pages, cut down. I used a hand held label printer to label them.

The system wasn't too expensive to put together and it's really easy to slot in additional sheets where needed. I started originally with a 9 litre box (the pink box below), but had to expand as the sheets were getting too tightly packed to flip through easily. The second box (above) is 19 litres - same footprint but higher sides, which means that I could put the box lid on if I wanted.

January bargains at Foil Play!

Happy New Year! I hope that you had a lovely time over the festive period, and a good start to the New Year.

Thank you for all of your orders over the festive period - I hope you will enjoy crafting with your new goodies! It did take a while to get all of the orders out due to the high volume received, but everything is back to normal now, with speedy despatch times as usual.

Today I've been busy slashing prices, so you'll find hundreds of new clearance bargains to be had. Once they are gone, they are very unlikely to be restocked and at these prices I'm expecting quite a few sell outs - so don't miss out, if there's something you have your eye on.

Lots of exciting new stock is on the way too - watch this space!

Hundreds of Dufex rare and discontinued individual picture prints at Foil Play!

I've just finished a marathon session, listing thousands of individual Dufex picture prints and postcards, in hundreds of different designs. They are already proving popular, so stock up on your favourite designs before they sell out!

Dufex picture prints are beautiful - so hard to do them justice in a scan, as they have a unique reflective surface which gives a real touch of glamour to your card and craft projects.

You can use them as an individual card topper, or buy multiples of the same design if you'd like to decoupage and make a stunning 3D topper. Alternatively you can of course use them as picture prints, or even send the postcard toppers!

The hundreds of designs now in stock cover many occasions - including Christmas, lots of nativity designs, new baby, wedding, cute children, lovely animals, picturesque scenes, fantasy designs and many more.

Almost all of these beautiful designs are now discontinued by Dufex, so they are rare and very hard to find elsewhere.

I have very limited numbers of some designs in stock and won't be able to get more when they sell out - so if you see a design that you love, please don't miss out! 

Quantity discounts are available for other designs, where I do have plenty in stock, so the more you buy, the more you save!

Prices of the small prints range from 25 to 35p each - what a bargain! Even more of a bargain where multi buys are available - as little as 17.5p each if you buy ten of a design. Larger A5 sized prints are also available for 80p - gorgeous for really large cards or simply as a picture.

Go on - have a browse of these beautiful designs and don't miss out! 

As ever at Foil Play:

• p&p is free on orders over £10
• free die cut toppers with orders over £20
• set up a free account to earn loyalty points on every order, for discounts on future orders
