Clear Stamp Storage and Dealing with Paper Scraps

This video shows how I ogranzie my clear stamps in binders, deal with all those paper and ribbon scraps and a button storage idea.

I receive a lot of questions about where I buy the page protectors in this video. I buy them at a Canadian office supply store called Grand and Toy, but they don't ship outside of the country and strangely enough my American friends are having a hard time finding a source close to home. I did find a similar product to mine on this site that will ship to the US, here's the link: http://www.corporatebizsupplies.com/ProductDetail.asp?idproduct=35547&idC...
Hope this helps.

hi! nice video. i have a question for you... i have a fluffy little dog and his fur gets everywhere. seeign that you have a cat - do you have issues with fur getting into your clear stamps since they're in open binders? i bought a couple of mead zipper binders to store mine - but i like regular binders (or even the cute ones from target :)) without the zip if the fur wouldn't be an issue.. thoughts?

@msdixie1972 Hi there! I actually close my craft room door and keep the cats out when I'm not in there, but I am a little OCD when it comes to cleaning so I vacuum every day. :-)

Hi Wendy! My cat is actually just a mix from the shelter, but those rag doll cats are soooo cute!

Hi Rene, thanks for your question. As for grouping my stamps I do it first by manufacture and then by category; Alphabets, Baby, Backgrounds, Celebrations, Flowers/Nature, Labels, and Sentiments. Hope that's helpful! Have a great day!

Hi, im new to stamping, I was thinking of getting the Nutcrafters bakery stamp which is 9cm x 10cm and I wasn't sure which company makes an acrylic block that will fit this stamp. I dont have any acrylic blocks yet but i fure that the ones with gridlines and grips would be most useful. Is it necessary to buy various sizes of blocks or will 1 large block be sufficient for most sizes of clear stamps?

Thank you :)

@exotikk1 Welcome to the wonderful world of stamping! Most companies that sell clear stamps also sell the acrylic blocks and you do want to buy a variety of sizes because it is so much easier to get the best stamped image when you use an acrylic block that is not too big, nor too small, for the stamp. Hope that helps! Happy stamping.

My stamps are now all clear mount. I have converted all of my rubber stamps to this system. Mine are stored in CD Cases and the CD cases are stored in plastic shoe boxes. I don't have lots but the clear plastic shoe boxes could have some sort of label so you know what is inside without getting every shoe box out. Loved your practical video including the cat!

Great storage ideas!! I am currently doing the cd case thing but that binder looks like it would hold a lot more in less space (always good) AND I wouldn't have to pull 500 cases off the shelf everytime I want to stamp something. I was wondering about storage for 12x12 paper. I have a sweet 18 month old who LOVES to rip up specialty paper lol.
