First up, that ever growing collection of embossing folders!! I don't have a lot yet, but I saw how much trouble people were having keeping theirs organized, so I decided to figure out a way to organize them right from the get go. 

Here is the first picture: 

My Embossing Folder Collection and Plates.

So in the picture above, I made folders that fit up to a 5x7 embossing folder using my Cricut Explore, and then also used my Cricut Explore to make and write all the labels for each folder, including a 3"x3"  piece of paper to show what the folder looks like.  They are all housed in a "Photo Box" for 4x6 photos and the photos fit PERFECTLY !! 

The black bag is a padded bag I had a friend make up to hold my A, B's, and C plates.  I label mine with the manufacturer name abbreviation, the # I have assigned to it, and the name of the folder. 

I also keep a catalog of the folders and their impressions, names, and numbers to make it easier to find them, easier to hold up to a project and find the right folder, PLUS I can throw it in my purse when I go shopping so I don't double buy something!!

And this is just a picture to show what the box actually looks like !!

For the files for all the items I used, you will need a Cricut Explore, and the links I provided in this post HERE .
