Good evening all! Last summer I found videos by
Jennifer McGuire on how she stores her cling stamps. I got inspired and thought it was a must that this needed to be done with my stamps. Here are the videos of hers that I watched to see how it was done:
And this is my version:
 |
| Divider size (made from folders) 5 1/2 x 7 3/4 and rounded corners | |
 |
| White cardstock insert size 5 3/8 x 7 1/4 for smaller stamp sets. |
|
 |
| Divider size (made from folders) 7 1/2 x 10 1/4 and rounded corners |
 |
| Type of stamps that work well in this bin is the longer sets from Inkadinkado, Tim Holtz, and Close To My Heart, which I just left them in there original case since it works great as is (see stamp set on the right above). |
 |
| White cardstock insert size 6 x 8 3/4 for larger stamp sets. |
 |
| I put the name of the stamp set and underneath is the initials of the company it is from, like this one is Clear Art Stamps (CAS). |
 |
| Since I got a darker color of folders I got gold label paper to print on so I can read the sections. Also as you can see if there was a symbol available on the label maker I added it to dress it up a little. |
 |
| My label maker and this helped to get a bigger one with a keyboard since I had so many stamp sets to do. |
Supplies used:
Final thoughts, what is shown here are my everyday stamps and then I have two separate single bins for my Christmas stamps. When it came time to do my Christmas cards it made it so much easier to get in and out of the sleeves instead of the original packaging. Speaking of original packaging, I did keep those in a box just in case I might want to sell in the future. Also made a couple of comments earlier under the pictures to round the corners on the folders, that is must since these folders are plastic and can get pretty sharp corners when you cut them. All in all a good idea and glad to have it done and all organized.
Thanks for looking!
