Enabler alert! Cuttlebug suitable storage in the Dollar Spot!
At Target I was attracted to this item in the dollar spot and put one in my cart...then while I was in line I realized that it would be PERFECT for Cuttlebug storage. While the cashier was scanning my stuff through, I ran back to the Dollar Spot and got another one. Once I got home, put it together and started trying it out, I wished I had bought more of them!
Here's some photos. The first one is the way it looks when you buy it, so you know what to look for. The other ones are of what it looks like assembled and filled. The small dies and embossing folders fit in there with enough room on the side for the bar dies. And it will also fit two, maybe three sets of alphabet dies. They come in only these two colors, as far as I can tell.
I can't believe I bought these, immediately brought them home, leaving the rest of the stuff I bought in the car (food? who needs that? :mrgreen, put one together, ran downstairs, filled it up, brought it back upstairs, took pictures and immediately came HERE to enable everyone! :rolleyes: How twisted am I? I have a workshop tonight and I'm not even ready, yet here I am, doing this! I am CRAZY! :mrgreen:
You have your priorities in absolutely the right place!! I need a place to store my fiskars texture and the larger CB plates -- any ideas there? The photos help alot here, BTW! Thanks.
Wow---that does look cool! and of course you should enable us first! Now if you need more,you better hurry back before we wipe out all the Target's across this great country. Onward SCS'ers!
THANKS, JAN!!!! Now I have to add Target to my 'errand list' and I'm trying to get ready for SCSM4!!! But....they sure do look cool and who could pass them up for a buck!!!! Even if you don't have the CB (which I do). Thanks again!!!
Jan, as always, you ROCK! Great idea! I'm also cruisin' the dollar spot cuz ya never know what you're gonna find...I wouldn't have even thought looking at the original package that they would be that useful - TFS!! Great pics too!

Do you think Targets will run out of stock by Friday? :confused:
I have a chance to get off the Rock tomorrow (Prom on Sat. night, and the girl needs "accessories" . . . need I say more? :rolleyes: ) and there is a Target near the mall . . .
Or will you all have stormed every Target by then? ;)

Marvy Uchida makes a line of snap-together storage boxes with the name Ori Yoki on them -- I've been using them for my CB storage all along and they're perfect! They also make a larger one that will hold the embossing folders.
J.....I can run to Tarjay' at lunch today? Would ya like me to grab some for ya?

I have some of those Ori Yoki boxes, they are really cute and affordable. Mine are the ones with the pink/red stripes. They look a lot like those boxes at Target that Jan is talking about here.
I have been searching for good CB storage. I bought some wood boxes from an online store that I am going to try out. I want something alterable that I can make cute(r).

OKay....my Target didn't have ANY!!!! I looked it over 3 times looking for them....insert whine here.....Guess I'll have to have DS check, as he works there.
Jan, thanks for posting this!!!!! I hope I can get to Target on Friday. Today is out becuase ff BYU graduation and Vice President Cheney speaking. Security will be tight and the traffic will be a mess but I think Friday I can go before the Track meet. That is if my DD doens't help moving her stuff out of her apartment. She will be home for 3 days and then she can move into her new apartment.
I wish we could just stamp and buy stuff all day don't you???
run don't walk cause remember EVERYONE knows even when they are just lurking and haven't joined SCS!!! (not that I ever did anything like that!)
snort!!!
Thanks Jan for the pics, without them I might have missed them, got some tonight. Think I'll use the second one for stickles, and the 3rd for.....not sure yet. Linda
Well, I guess I am off to Target. I have been trying to find something to put the embossing folders in and had no luck. These would be great - if there are any left!

I bought some of the plastic boxes that have handles on them. I have stored my pens, scissors, and one box is used to go to stamp camps {has a pair of scissors, my tape dispenser, bone folder, and pen}. Great little boxes.
J.....I can run to Tarjay' at lunch today? Would ya like me to grab some for ya?
Oh, you peach! I missed this post. Sorry. :(
I'm venturing off The Rock today, in search of some "support lingerie" for my DD's prom dress (dance is tomorrow night), and I'm hoping if we find what we need quickly, she'll grant me a few minutes at both Target and Michael's in Lynnwood so I can ogle all the new MS stuff.
But, thank you. {{{{{Shanon}}}}}

Thanks! Picked some up at Target yesterday and had fun organizing my Cuttlebug stuff last night (although I am embarrassed to admit how many dies I had to take out of the packages, having never been used, to put in the storage boxes!)
Just gotback from a trip to Target. Couldn't wait to open the package and put the little box together... One snap won't snap (boohoo!). I sure hope when I can get back (it was a 15 mile drive, so I won'r be going real soon) they will still have some left to exchange... (and I will check it out before leaving!)

Oooh, good idea. Target is an hour away from me, so I really should do this. I'd *really* be annoyed if I got all the way home and found the darn thing wouldn't snap. :?

Try it again. I had one that would not snap on the first try, gave it another try and pushed it together real hard and it snapped. Sometimes pressing it on a hard surface, like a solid wood table, might make it go.

So they don't hold the embossing folders that are the bigger ones right? Or they do, just sideways? I gotta know if I need to run out to Target tomorrow.

Thanks for the idea. But, I did try that (believe me I tried and tried!) and then looked and noticed that one part of the snap is definately defective... Sure hope they still have them whenever I get back to Target!

Oh, man.... I saw those yesterday and thought, "Cute, but what can I USE it for?", so I didn't get any. We'll see if they still have any left Tuesday when I'm back over that way, now that I actually have a "need" for them! LOL!

I did the same thing!! LOL But since I just went out and bought a Cuttlebug today at lunch - I better hit Target tomorrow and see if they still have some!!
