Unity - Love Story Anniversary

 Happy Saturday!

Today I have an anniversary card to share and a craftroom organization idea.  First the card, I used Unity - Love Story background and several dies. The happy die cut is from Hero Arts Happy Stamp and cut set.  The hearts and corner accents are from a Die-namics die set Blueprint 32.

Cardstock - PaperTrey Ink White, Pure Poppy and True Black

I stamped the background script on a white panel, then cut the heart out.  The front panel is popped with a piece of red cardstock behind the cut out.  Added the Happy die cut and a fish tail flag with anniversary stamped on it (part of the Hero Arts die and stamp set).  Finished the card off with some corner details and red hearts from Blueprint 32.

I've found so many great dies I had stashed away.  In January, I attempted to better organize my craftroom. One awesome idea I saw last year was from an online card making summit.  They had stampers from all over present card techniques.  Many of them did their card presentation from their craftroom.  I love seeing other people's craft area! I saw this idea in the background and thankfully others in the online class asked about her boards in the background.  She purchased DIY magnetic car decal material from amazon and framed it, then had her dies hanging on the wall right above her die machine - Ingenious!  Here is what mine looks like...

Having my favorite dies readily available really is nice and makes it so easy to use and "put away".  I find I'm using them much more! Die-namics Blueprint 32 is on the board on the right in the upper right hand corner.  My boards are hung with Velcro command strips, so I can take the whole board off if the murphy bed needs to be used.  I purchased a 2 pack of 18x24 magnetic sheet and 18x24" poster frames, which worked perfectly.  The magnetic sheet came rolled up so I let them lay on the floor for a week or so to flatten out while I looked for frames.  I had thought of fitting the sheets in the details of the door but decided not to.  I also cleared off permanent spaces from my die cutting machine and my sewing machine.  Fingers crossed they stay clear, so I can continue to use them easily!
