How I Store my Stamps, Dies & Hot Foil Plates - Answering YOUR questions!

[@Denise11Schultz]

This is very helpful, thank you. For storing nesting shape dies, I use a strip of magnetic tape. It comes on a roll like cello tape. I put one or two strips of tape across the center of the package insert, and it keeps the dies from dinging each other. Some magnetic tape is not strong enough to grip for the weight of some dies, so I add a second or third layer right on top of (not next to) the first layer. This way I don’t have to buy full magnetic sheets.

I have the stamp market dividers and storage pockets, I love them.

TFS ❤

[@JoanOrloffDK]

Great storage Justin 🥰 I love the way you organize ❤️ thanks for sharing and happy crafting Hugs xx

[@vickienipp]

It is overwhelming especially if you have way too much, I love your set up and I am working on purging sp mu craft room can be less stressful. Thank you for great inspirational videos

[@stellaolejar9007]

Vicky I totally agree. Having so much is truly stressful. I will also be attempting to purge. Have a great day

[@justinehovey]

I had hundreds of stamps and dies at one point as well. I just stopped being creative and spent more time searching and wondering where to start than I did crafting. Having relatively little isn't for everyone but it works for me quite well.

[@vickienipp]

@@justinehovey agree as it is already working for me. thank you

[@jdsaal1992]

I was checking out your stamp dividers and realized they were laminated. Since I have a laminator machine, I tried a stamp on one of my dividers and it worked to hold the stamp in place. Since I'm on a budget due to being retired, I can make my own stamp cards. This way I can custom the size to fit the stamp pockets I already have. Love your channel and all the great tips.

[@justinehovey]

Absolutely

[@jodidorchak5407]

That’s what I’ve done! I put my sentiments on laminated card stock and put them in sheet protectors in binders

[@lindacrawford5187]

You and I have a very similar system for I also use the plastic pockets. I also put the item number on mine for I keep track of my crafts in my computer as well along with my purchase price, category and picture. In my desk drawer I keep my most used died such as shapes so they are handy. I have over 2600 stamp sets and over 700 dies so I had to have something easy for finding what I needed and I found this system to work well for me.

[@DoogieDoggie]

Do you use an app like Airtable or Evernote to track your stamps and dies?

[@justinehovey]

Technically I do, but I only use it to search if I need a specific sentiment. My collection is quite small so I don’t need to it track items

[@karenwadwell6007]

Justine, why do you keep track of which company your supplies are from?

[@justinehovey]

Because when I make videos and create supply lists, I have to know where people can shop the supplies.

Thanks Justine, this is very helpful! I do something similar, but applying some of your suggestions will definitely improve on what I've been doing.

[@karenday7504]

I am in the end of my organizing my craft space. So, now it's more the labeling/categorizing . You purging video and this video came at a perfect time! I have followed your method the past few years. It helps in not getting into the "collecting" phase instead of actual using and creating. I meant to comment on the last video..... wanted to say Congratulations to you and your hubby on your little one

[@susandavenport9257]

OMG . . . this is what has been missing from my (ever-exploding) craft space! I just got my order of die magnets and pockets yesterday and am having fun organizing (and purging) my dies. The stamps will have to wait for now! Thanks for your encouragement, Justine!

[@456monaliza]

Really great information how to store. Thank you

[@janinemccartney9664]

What’s a purge pile? 😂 I seem to talk myself out of it every time 😩

[@krisvanallen]

You have probably shared this before, but what does your arm tattoo say?

[@timegirl7737]

WOW ... Great organization!!! 😄

[@Yvonneb_]

Perfect thankyou. Xx

[@MsGabmc]

This is fantastic! Thanks for making it! Love your wood dividers! Where do you get the magnet sheets from? A question re the card maker summit - I think I've already signed up but I can't remember. Does it matter if I sign up twice?

[@justinehovey]

Link is in the description for the magnets. It doesn’t matter if you sign up for the summit twice.

[@patriciawilson4135]

Very helpful as we are always trying to make life easier when making projects. Who wants to spend all their time looking for product? Thanks so much for all the great tips.

[@marymogckmishmashmary]

Thank you for sharing ❣️

[@pamjay5465]

Love this system! I have been trying to figure out a good way to store my growing amount of stamps/dies. Thanks for sharing!

[@patskar4977]

So, Justine, you’re using the Dividers as the stamp storage rather than the inserts they sell?

[@justinehovey]

I bought the wrong ones as I mentioned. These are the dividers for categories. The ones meant for stamps have tabs on the right left and Center. They are the same product, just with tabs in different areas

[@kathymarine1164]

Love this!

[@kimbougie9266]

Thank you!

[@beverlystotz5652]

Great info. Thank you!

[@aqoz36]

Thank you for the video 😊 It will help me organize my stamps. I did the same for dies sets. Any tips to organize stencils that have no coordinating dies/stamps? Thanks

[@justinehovey]

I just have them in a 6x8 binder in page protectors. Nothing fancy :)

[@BoomingMyWay]

Thank you for sharing!

[@scrappingrrl]

Thanks for this!

[@gingerpayne7310]

Thank you for the amazing tips and tricks for organizing stamps and dies. How do you store your stencils?

[@justinehovey]

In a 6x8 Binder :)

[@bethrogers5656]

I have a similar system with everything in pockets; sets together and dies on magnets (I like the checkout store brand on Amazon) Some brands like Tonic large 3D sets come in their own A4 envelope and magnet and I store those in a milk crate. My labels also include the number of dies or stamps since some products are layering and have lots of pieces. I don’t know if you buy any monthly kits and if so, how do you store those?

[@Ninjamom4]

❤️❤️❤️

[@kandrews6356]

I'm in the middle (sort of) of organizing my entire craft studio/room, and it's been a long-going major effort on my part. I'm purging as well as organizing and then comes my labeling and re-organizing (if necessary). Your labeling tips are great and I like the brother label maker you have. I haven't watched the purging video yet, but rest assured it's next on my list. Thank you so much.

[@htmorrison9271]

Thank you for these tips! I have several stamp sheets that are larger than either of the pockets you have. What would you suggest doing with those?

[@justinehovey]

I have a few 9x12 stamps myself. I found a document folder that they fit in nicely

[@htmorrison9271]

@@justinehovey thanks! That's what I do, but I was wondering if you'd cut them down somehow to fit in those smaller sleeves. I appreciate the reply!

[@justinehovey]

@@htmorrison9271 nope :) I just leave them as is

[@maggiequilts]

What are hot foils? Ty

[@justinehovey]

They are used for foiling. Lots of videos out there on hot foiling if you search on KZbin

[@MariaSerpa-Gauvin]

This die set for 12 X 12 paper and that cuts to12 inches would be perfect!

[@kandrews6356]

P.S. My question is, can/would you also share where you get your shelfs, cabinets, etc.? If there a special place you'd recommend?
