My New Craft Room and How I Organize My Stamps in 2024

[@7WordsWorth]

Your creative space is marvelous!! A dream for many people. The dedicated space for new items is a must. If I had your space, I would keep all the stamps in one row of those built-ins. Overall, it’s lovely. ❤

Thank you so much!

Beautiful room! How do I organize mine. “Oh look I can see a 3 inch square of my floor!” 😂🤣

[@christinemleung]

Hahahah…. Sadly, even with all my space and storage, most of the time my stuff is all over the place too!

Christine, your craft room is heavenly. I store my wooden stamps the same way-displaying my favorites on a shelf (not to your scale though). I like the container that you have gift wrap stored. Great video - thank you!! Happy Easter 🐰🐤

[@christinemleung]

Oh thank you Lori. Happy Belated Easter…😬😃

Love your organizational style. I have a far smaller selection of wooden stamps and have them on display as you do on your wall. I’m pretty sure I’ve seem Ikea sell very narrow shelves, they may not even be shelves but it’s just enough surface to support a long length of wooden stamps. It would take up more wall space but may be easier to put them back. Only other suggestion would be for the smaller wooden stamps in your drawer. For me, I know I’d eventually end up just throwing them in there and it would be a mess. Yours look far more organized. But if that happens for you perhaps grouping smaller stamps on trays within your drawer would be helpful as they’re most likely to be knocked around. Totally agree with the new stuff section of your craft room. I do the same thing. Nothing new can come in until I’ve us e everything in my new bin at least once. Thanks for sharing your lovely space.😊

Hello! I’m going to check out IKEA and see if they have the longer narrow shelves you talked about! Thank you for sharing. Btw, do you have a favourite place you shop at first wooden stamps?

The light from the big window is a big plus. I do like looking at wooden stamps so it is nice to look up and there they are. A girl can NEVER have too many stamps. While clear stamps have so many advantages I love the feel of a wooden stamp in my hand. (Mary)🌺

[@christinemleung]

Yay!!!! For wooden stamps. Thank you for sharing Mary. Btw, is there a favourite place you shop at for wooden stamps?

[@iluvtojournal]

I started buying wood mounted stamps at Michaels but now the pricing deters me. We used to have a DeSerres in town and I bought wooden peg stamps there. I usually pick them up now at destash events or thrift stores. I LOVE all types of stamps.

[@christineleung2884]

@@iluvtojournal Thank you for sharing. I agree. Michaels pricing have gone through the roof. I'm going to start finding my way to thrift stores. 🙂

I don't have wooden stamps but I would have done exactly the same - displayed or in drawers - lovely craft room.❤ You have a huge collection and excellent organization. I've made flip files with sleeves to store my acrylic stamps as I don't have so many stamps.

[@christinemleung]

Great idea! I like the flip file idea. Thank you for sharing

I have all of my stamps in one place (and I have more than you do actually). I store them all in plastic cases and label the spine. The stamps then live on a bookshelf, but the shelves are only as wide as the depth of the plastic case, so pretty narrow. I also make an “inventory” sheet of the stamp set before it goes on the “wall”. This sheet then gets placed in a notebook of stamp categories. Then I can just look through my notebooks and see a stamp that I might want to use and then go locate it on the wall. I have used this system for years and it works pretty well. And like you, I have a landing space for new stamps and dies purchased so that I will use them, as well as inventory them for the wall. When that gets full I tell myself that I can’t buy anymore until I categorize what I have…who am I kidding😆😩🤣

[@christinemleung]

I like the idea of an inventory sheet! Hmmm… now I have to find the time to create that. With the inventory sheet, do you actually stamp the stamps on the sheet, or is it just the name and company that you record? Thank you for sharing 😄

Love your video any chance you could give use a video for supplies you recommend for beginners, intermediate ect crafter. I do bullet journaling and watercolors and would love to get some tools besides pens, paints and the odd stamp. I don’t have a lot of craft room storage so items that do multiple jobs would be incredible.

[@christinemleung]

Hi Tessa. I apologize for missing this comment. I will definitely put something together. Just a question. What size or type of space do you craft in?

[@scarlettHischild]

I appreciate this video thank you for sharing. 🙏🏻

[@christinemleung]

You are so welcome!

[@junkjournalgirl]

[@christinemleung]

That is awesome! Thank you for sharing. Btw, do you have a favourite store you shop at for wooden stamps? They are my weakness 😂
