I love how you organize your 2x2 dies. I was able to find the coin storage and the clear labels but where on the QK site are you able to print the images?

Thank you.

Dania,

Go to the QK website. On the home page, on the lower left side is a section titled "QK Community." In that section is the choice "EZ Reference." Click on that and it will take you to the section you are looking for. This was designed for the All In One Storage section, but I just LOVE Katie's idea.

I just have one question for you, Katie. Do you ever feel that your dies are too thick to run through your machine with what is essentially a shim? I'm so nervous about my Rev gears! I just baby them.

Katie, I love your die tip.


Cat
Sorry I wrote my comments under the scrap storage thread of MB

[Dania]

Thanks Michelle. I'm so excited that I was able to fine the 2x2 plastic storage like Katie had in her picture.

[Dania]

I found it! Wow they sure make it easy to print. Just plop the picture in.

Now the labels are 2x4, so does the two images fall perfectly into the label?

That Q will have to wait for Katie--I don't do this. But I am seriously considering it. I made up samples of about half my dies, but then decided I'd rather scrap than make up the samples. So the rest are unlabled.

I'm waiting to find out what kind of machine Katie uses and if there are any problems using a thicker die.

Darn girl must be spending time with her family or something today. Priorities!

Katie,

What clear sticker product did you use to print out the die pictures on?

[Basketlady]

The info that she gave was "clear shipping labels from staples (it comes in an 8.5x11 sheet)."

Here is the link to her photo:

I love this idea. Love, love, love it!

Susan, no more tasks this week. I have to organize. My paper is a mess, too! ;D

Really! the nerve. Doesn't she know we have pressing questions.

Thanks for all the questions, and yes I was away in the mountains yesterday without any internet (that's really difficult for me)!

The machines I use are the squeeze and the epic. With my epic I'm always using cardstock as extra shims even with the sticker. The label stickers are super thin though. I'm not sure how it will work in the revolution, but my guess is that there should not be a problem because it's really thin. Try a couple and see if it works for you, the labels are easy to peel off with just your fingernails without leaving a goopy mess.

I have used the 2x4 address labels. Those worked fine, but then I found the whole sheets at staples. That seemed to work better for me. Both avery and staples make the full 8.5x11 sheets.

I bought the clear protectors from evilbay. I had the all-in-one clear sheet protectors, but they always ripped with just one die in them. I tried these on evilbay, and they're great. They easily hold doublekutz, but they do not hold triplekutz dies. Maybe Dani can find these wholesale for us because they really do work great. Just a thought.

Thanks Michelle for answering all the other questions while I was visiting the dark side with no internet and cell phones!

I couldn't find the staples brand on their website. I got them in the store. You can find the labels at various places on the web like amazon and other office sites. I haven't checked evilbay, but it might even be listed there.

I should note that these are called clear labels, but they are not crystal clear. They are more translucent. I think they look fine on the metal QK dies. I think they have to be translucent, though, so the printer ink won't smear all over the place.

[Dania]

Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing.

I fear I have a new project this week...

The kids have tomorrow off. I was thinking of the science museum, but maybe we could stop by Staples???
