My Stamp Storage Solution

[mimiscreations1]

where do you buy the cd boxes its a great idea!!!!!

[scrapsofmine]

@mimiscreations1 - Thanks! I purchase my CD case in a pack of 10 at my local Big Lots, but I'm sure you can buy them at any office supply store. Just make sure you buy CD cases and not DVD cases. Thanks for watching!

[Wifey2Kup]

This is AWESOME, thanks for the great video, very clear and I can't wait to try this!

[papercrazylady]

I do use CD cases, but I leave them on the backing they came with and also put a piece of light colored paper behind them so they're easier to see as I flip thru .. The bigger stamp sets are put (with their backing) into page protectors then into a notebook .. also .. my Target never has stamps but now that I see this .. wouldn't buy them anyway!

I used to do the same catalogue idea... but didn't number them. TFS!

Much Love

[Loumooredub]

This video is so helpful! When I build up my stamp collection some more, I will definitely follow your lead and make a catalogue! I especially love how you keep your mini stamps on a binding ring, great idea :)

Thanks so much for sharing!

[KISW1980]

I love the way you use a binder ring for the studio G stamps! Awesome, I've been looking for a way to store them, I don't have a whole lot right now so that will work perfectly! Thanks!

[scraptilUdrop]

Thank u for lettin me no bout targets stamps I have that same set ima have to check it out I love how u organized ur stamps

[DeraLynnD]

I love how you ordered your stamps. I keep mine in a single shoebox, so obviously I don't have enough to warrant a catalogue. However, the more I scrapbook, the larger my stamp collection grows. At one point I will definitely make a binder like yours. I really appreciate you sharing this ~Dera

[paperdrama]

great ideas , i dont have that many stamps but I do forget what I have so probably the catalog is a great idea and If I start now is not going to be a big deal in the future , thanks for sharing it, hugs

[worker4ever123]

This is a great idea......Im going to do this :-) ...I am going organize my stamps, just like you did...LOL.  TFS Amy xx

[Scrappingpinklady]

Great video and great idea. I do have a question for you. Do you use 2 or 3 cases for sets that come with larger stamps. I just bought a clear stamp set from Inkadinkadoo and I think I could get only one stamp per case, so would you use 5 cases then all with the same #? Thanks for your help and this great vid.

[scrapsofmine]

@Scrappingpinklady -Yes, if the stamp set come with quite a few stamps and I can't fit them into one CD case, I use two and just write the same number on the CD cases. Sometimes I also remove the stamps from the protective sheet and put them directly on the CD case, this allows you to put more stamps in the CD case.

[EmoraDesigns]

Great storage ideas! TFS!

[PurRceptiveVixX]

I have some scrapbooking materials for sale if you are interested! Love your idea of putting them into cd cases!

[paperdragonfly12]

What a great idea.  I live in a condo, so space is at a premium ... I think I'll definitely have to try this storage technique out. TFS!

[Scrappinology]

I have a question about your stamp organization, if you get one set of stamps that has several different occassions do you break them apart to put them into the correct categories in the books and cd cases? Or do you keep the entire set together the way it was purchased?

Thanks!

[scrapsofmine]

@Scrappinology - Hey Gina, I do have some set that have mixed holidays. I have a section in my binder just labeled Holidays. This allows me to keep the set together. I only separate Birthday/party stamps in a Birthday section. I don't own a ton of Holiday stamps. If you don't care about separating them, you could breakdown each holiday giving them a section in the binder. Organize how you would find them the easiest.

[fasloan]

I bought that same one and I trashed it

[sarah24sza]

TFS all your great ideas I soo wish I would have kept all of my stamps in their packaging I am going to try this out to the best of my ability

[sillyfroghoneybee]

Great idea ! I'm a super organize person but never ever thought about this idea !! thanks for sharing :)

[Stacey3272]

I got that same stamp set and never used it it was super cheap and bad.

[neddie58]

thanks for sharing

[NatassiaM]

This is awesome! What a great idea :)

[jannaviles]

Awesome vid!! Thanks so much for sharing all the tips and the Target warning...omg!

Love your organizational skills girl. I am an organized person too but at times I can get messy and lose things, haha Great vid though! thunbs up!

[Chrissie169]

Cool!!! So creative

[wonderdog1956]

I work with alot of polymer clays, and found out that you can't store them in hard plastic cases because the "raw" clay will eat away at the case. I guess these stamps have the same compound in them that will eat through hard plastics. I don't think if you left them in the packaging you bought them in, the same would happen. Not sure though since I"ve never bought any stamps from target. Thanks for the heads up. And thank you for the great tips on cataloging and storing stamps.

[scrapsofmine]

@wonderdog1956 - Thanks for that info!!! Most of my stamps are stored along with their protective sheet in the CD cases. No more Target stamps for me - LOL!

[5redbird]

Great ideas!!! What size are the page protectors in your notebook? TFS

[mysugarplumcottage]

This is exactly how I organize my stamps!

I also organize my die cuts the same way too!

Yep, it takes time to set it up... but so worth it!!

Thanks for sharing!

[TheCatgirl73]

yeah, I had my target dollar stamps peel off on to the case too..they weren't all sticky though... their just a buck, they still work...hugs

[scrapstress]

[AliesFjord]

Thank you so much for those tips! What stamp makes that great numberplate?

[manteacher329]

love , love, LOVES IT!

[xItsxTinkx]

This is such a good idea! And one of the few times i don't mind there's no target in the netherlands ;) I love the quick tips like the post-it to rememer what number you should give to new stamps. I think I know what I'm doing tonight! TFS!

But I'm bad at keeping my little stamps in the packages so i think I'm gonna sort those out and put them in cd-cases by theme or something..

[NatalieBramasole]

Thanks for sharing! Hugs, Elena
