Storing Nestibilities
Can anyone share how they store their "nestibilities"? I currently have mine in a binder with magnetic sheets - however, the book is getting super heavy and cumbersome. Any ideas or suggestions would be creatly appreciated.

Sue....here is my opinion.....there are several things to think about when your looking for storage.
1. Does this need to be storage that is portable?
2. Do you go to crops, teach classes or do demos?
3. What is the heavy to you?
4. Do you have enough wall space and are not a traveling with nestabilities woman?
5. If you got to the Nesties group within the past month or so a woman posted a picture of her wall that she stores her nestabilities on of magnetic sheeting. It is awesome if your don't need to travel with you r nesties.
6. I believe that Spellbinders has a storage system as well.
You are more than welcome to visit my blog....(Please note I'm not a good blogger and only post when the mood and time hits me right) and see what I have made that worked for me....by the way this week I will be making a third book as I have added more sets.

Best wishes and if you find something else that works let me know! I'm always up for another change!

Sue I just wanted to add I was using CD cases for quite a while but found it didn't work well for me because I was spending too much time opening and closing and looking for what I wanted. Will be interested in what you choose to do for storage!

Hi Sue, This is what I am doing at the moment but I am always open to improve!!!
I purchased some empty cd cases. Also some rolls of magnetic tape.
My nesties fit in either side of the cd case i.e. plain one side, corresponding wavy edges on the other side - held in place by pieces of magnetic tape (obviously tape is stuck on the cd case sighhhhhhhhhhhh I must be the worse person in the world for explaining things).
Hope this made sense.
Oh, the cd cases, once full, are then placed in a cd basket on my desk:)

I'm using some old 6X6 album refills leftover from a project a couple of years ago. Since my nesties are new, the double-sided tape is not funky yet. I cut out the nesties on the double-sided tape from the package to a size that would fit 6X6, put those in one side of an album refill, cut out the name and number of dies and put those on the other side of refill. I haven't yet decided on whether or not to make an album cover and album posts but sturdy grosgrain ribbon is keeping it together right now as it grows. It's sturdy enough to be put on my stamping hutch bookshelf right now because I kept the original packaging cardboard.
I have another advantage in that the directions for using my Big Shot, instead of the Wizard, are on the back of the card with the double-taped nesties in place. I don't have to go searching for the directions.

I use CD cases with strips of magnet adhered inside as well. I had them on my wall with magnetic sheet but I kept knocking them all off when I tried to get one down (I had them all nested and they were too close together).
So now I can space them out more and put half on each side of the CD case.

I have stuck magnetic strips on my cupboard door and have them sitting on there for easy access.

I too have mine in a cd case but would like to change that idea as I do keep them in it's orginal packaging. I'm looking for another idea t store them and access the more easily.

Thanks everybody for your great ideas! I also tried the CD cases, but didn't care for that system either - well hopefully I will stumble upon something that works!

Well if someone happens to come up with a better idea please share! I also store mine in CD cases with strips of magnetic sheets in them and then store them in the AC Moore wooden cd holders. In fact, I have all my rubberstamps in cd cases too! well, most of them anyway!! hahahaa

I am doing a demo tomorrow so will need my nesties to be able to pick up at a seconds request.....so I purchased a 24" x 48" piece of magnetic sheet this week and have punched 2 holes in it have used 2 Ikea over the door robe hook and hung it on the back of a closet door that I will be demoing in front of .....I like to keep track of my product and keep it close at hand...I'll see if I can take a picture tomorrow of it. I'll also be back to let you know how it works...later have a great night and a wonderful World Card Making Day tomorrow...

Okay Sue, I see this is an OLD discussion but am just exploring the site. I store mine on 'rings', the kind that open obviously, and then I hang the rings on cup hooks under the shelf in my craft room. I saw this idea at a store and thought it was great...visible, and easy to access. I store circles together....works for me:)

Hello Sue,
I also am constantly on a search for ideas like this! But, I in general am always having storage & carrying issues. I started out with the CD cases and for the most part- they work rather well. I have recently switched over to the little Dollar Store $1.00 photo albums. Keeping in mind that some of the larger ones won't work with this but, when I go to craft night they seem to travel very well! At times I wished I would have taken up "knitting" much easier to travel with- LOL!!!
