Stamp and Die Storage

[@BlackCatNoni]

I'm in the process of doing this as well. Thank you for reminding me about the Rubbermaid Bento Boxes, I need something that won't scratch my furniture like the plastic fridge bins. Thanks for showing how to make the dividers, I just brought home a bunch of old book cover files from work to use for dividers. Thanks for sharing.

[@barbarab8942]

I know it's been a while, but I use the plastic fridge bins and put felt adhesive pads on the four corners to protect my furniture. Works great!

[@sistersun1954]

Thank you so much for sharing your ideas & methods for stamp & die storage, Christina. I am currently overwhelmed by my own collection, and fortunately, I have EVERYTHING you've used for your system in my own craft room right now. So, hi ho, hi ho; it's off to organize I go! Blessings!

[@cindyhenry1410]

I like this storage solution (have seen others like this too). One tip: for the long skinny dies, cut the magnetic sheet into thinner strips, then glue at top & bottom of card, then the die sticks on the magnetic strips. You save a lot on the magnetic sheets that way....cost can add up! TYFS ❤️🦋💜

[@NYLUVTOY]

You can also use the dry erase markers on them.

[@RuthAHT]

I absolutely love listening to you and you are very good at presenting in an organized fashion. I have downloaded Airtable and am going to start using it. I will take notes on each part before hand. Thank you again for taking the time to do this.

[@hudsonsailor54]

Thanks for the tip on the clear bags. I have started putting my stamps in clear bags. I do need to make dividers for finding them quickly. Thanks for the file tip too.

[@andrealavigne7824]

Great system, and it seems to work really well. A couple of tips. When you're cutting your cardstock for the inserts, if you cut for the 7" width first, then do the 5.25", you only make 3 cuts, rather than 4 if you do it the other way. I know it doesn't seem like much, but if you multiply that by many sheets, the time savings can add up! Same would go for your dividers. Also, for the pockets when they tear. I just use small pieces of packing tape, and wrap one around the top of each side of the pocket, so that part sticks to the front of the pocket & the other part to the back. Not taping the opening at the top closed, of course. :) That provides just enough reinforcement I find. I have to do that on the storage pockets I get from Ellen Hutson, since I've found they do tend to split/tear along the side seams at the top. Anyway, just thought you & other viewers might be interested in that. Thanks for sharing your storage system!

[@susanbredehoft2308]

Thank you for sharing!! I love this idea! One sees so many ideas, but this one not only looks like it works but it also looks practical!

[@andreagreen571]

I enjoyed your video. I love the way you store the dies. Very need and organized. Thanks for sharing.

[@kendrac.8874]

I loved your organization of dies and stamp sets. Going to be using this system myself soon.

[@kelliesundstrom4306]

Just saw you video. I love how you so cleverly created your file folders. Im going to make these for mine too. Thanks for such a great video.

[@leonaneedham6556]

GENIUS , and so organized !!! Thank you for sharing, I am off to Home Depot to look for that magnetic sheet. My dies are in a binder , but I love your storage idea.

[@narcydishon8389]

Great ideas for storage. Thank you!

[@debbiekuttler4473]

Love the way you make the dividers! I will definitely be using your techinque. tfs Have a great day, Christina!

[@Pro31Designs]

Great ideas! I really liked the the laminated sheets how to. I am off to the craft room right now, yay!! Thank you!!!

[@slCHARACOUNSELING]

Thanks for sharing. I like this system a lot. I currently have my dies in a binder but it is not very efficient. Blessings and Hugs from Texas

[@jennaruddell5977]

Super Helpful to see you do it from start to finish :) THANK YOU so inspired

[@lemonsqueezycrafts6818]

Also, for larger stamp sets and dies, you can make your own pockets with lamination sheets. You can make any size you need.

[@tami1796]

Thank you for sharing your videos

[@lindanielsen162]

Great idea, Christina! I just ordered the sleeves. Thank you

[@Spicifiy1]

EXCELLENT VIDEO! Your system looks as good or better (because of the colors) as Jennifer McGuire's & I love the links. The sleeves at Amazon are $13.50 for 200 but you can get 500 for $20. I take it they fit most stamp sets too? Walmart has those bento Boxes 6 for $50 w/free shipping (or $8.30 ea instead of $13.23 at Amazon). I wonder if Amazon does price matches.

[@gracielanoemicedres]

great storage! here in Norway is really expensive with magnets and envelopes. i use some but not til everything. i will in the future use like you for all my stamps, is in my whising list :) greetings for Norway.

[@bronwyn117]

I love these boxes, too! Not sure why, but Target no longer sells them.. When I recently needed more, I had to buy from Amazon.

[@louisescribner7036]

You are really great i have learned alot.

[@carolynbean6038]

Great video!! Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@Multiplemom3452]

I have 4 of them boxes thanks for the idea. Gonna do mine this way I’m pretty sure thanks again. New subbie too.

[@loftymakes]

Thank you for sharing, love an organized stash but my collection varies so much in size I don't think this system would work for me. I also like to see the inspiration on the original packaging. What do you do with your original packaging

[@lindanielsen162]

Your photo looks great!

[@The1952trouble]

Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@lesleybroadley7631]

Awesome video thanks x

[@sharonfrench1087]

Great system, thanks for sharing

[@reginaromero9501]

a great system

[@lemonsqueezycrafts6818]

I buy the magnet sheets by the roll on Amazon (www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078K2H5JJ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1). It’s a little work up front but I love it. I cut it in half the full length of the roll. Then I cut it into 12x12 and then ultimately into 6x4. There is no waste and I have tons. I bought a roll about 4 years ago and am just now buying another roll.

[@carolynmurtaza1180]

Could you do this with the tonic studio cardmaking collection. I need to sort mine out as I don’t have craft room. I live in uk so cant get some of the storage stuff you can buy. 😫😫

[@petmomful2260]

I do a similar technique as this. However I usually cut the stiff paper in the packaging, with the brand and name on it, and pop that into the envelope. It doesn't look as uniform, tho, but I do not have to make labels. I would like to know how you store your blank cards.

[@dollyhafez]

What a helpful way to organize and store.. Thnx alot

[@Itzybitzyhuskies]

Love this so much!! I am wondering however why you are using two different labeling types.....computer and your hand held one. Mainly asking because Ive been contemplating getting a personal labeler but am not sure if its a must have

[@CreationswithChristina]

Lori Stoltz thank you. I used mailing labels at first because I had so many to do when I transferred to this system I didn’t want to invest in a lot of label maker tape. since I had mailing labels on hand I used those to get started and now I use my label maker as I get new sets.

[@sue2019]

Christina, did u use to work in Huntington Beach, CA

[@darlawhitney1454]

i love this video!! I have a ton of older papertrey ink stamps and dies that are stored in the blank CD cases.That's the way they used to sell them. What would you suggest about pulling them out of those cases and using your system? I do't have the heavy acetate to place the stamps on. I guess i would use stays on ink and make them? What would i buy to put them on for heavy duty plastic?

[@CreationswithChristina]

Darla Whitney Hobby Lobby sells acetate that is acid free. You’ll want to use that so it doesn’t yellow your stamps. You can find it with the art supplies. It comes in a tablet form. That is what I used for mine and didn’t have any problems with it yellowing my stamps. For the artwork. I went to the website and printed out the sets so I didn’t have to stamp out all the images. If you want to stamp on the acetate Stazon is the way to go. Hope that helps.

[@SandraE_]

Hi Christina, in a previous video, you stored your dies in the memorex cd sleeves. Did you change them all over to the larger pockets?

[@ScrappingLatina]

Great tip.

[@bichonsrfunwolcott6079]

What brand/type of magnetic sheet do you use? I'm not sure the cut-to-size is strong enough for my dies. But if I put them in the envelopes, I suppose they'll be fine. Anyway, would you let me know about the sheets? And where you purchased them? Thanks so much!!

[@tracyratcliffe6388]

thank you so much for sharing this great idea

[@colorfulmind1181]

Great system T4S

[@debbiederosa5615]

What brand of laminator do you use ? Enjoyed the video ! For my red rubber stamps I use the clear acrylic DVD cases....same size as Avery pockets. I am looking for a laminator that does not cost too much, but can handle 5mil sleeves...even if you have to send it thru few times. I use printable clear sticker paper from Silhouette, with a copy of my stamped images I want on it from my scanner, and put it on sheets acrylic to have a sheets to attach my clear stamps to....that is how I break up my large stamp sets or odd sized stamp sets to fit in Avery pockets. Was thinking that laminated sheets would be even stiffer than my clear acrylic sheets for this ?

[@donnaellis4037]

do you through the packaging away?

[@Tinkerbell31326]

how do you cut the tab curve once it is laminated?

[@pparisihanuman]

I know you have a question about this posted already, but how do you store Red rubber and cling stamps. I have a few red rubber stamps from stampin up that I don't want to put them on the wood blocks so I'm not sure how to store them

[@CreationswithChristina]

+Pat Hanuman I keep my SU and red stamps in a drawer. They are not organized at all. Someday I will have to figure out how to keep them stored.

[@andrealavigne7824]

+Pat Hanuman I've found you can actually store cling stamps in these pockets. Not 6x6" background stamps (just because they're too large), but smaller ones. I cut some pockets apart so they are sheets that are a little smaller than the pocket. I stick my cling stamps to the sheet, and slip that in the pocket. I do have the cardstock insert in the pocket, just for added stability. Smaller (A2) sized background stamps will fit as well. Just use one stamp per pocket. I also know that My Favorite Things now has storage pockets for the 6x6" stamps. HTH!

[@geraldinebecher7702]

Save on the magnetic sheets and just glue two strips on the card stock. One near the top and one near the middle. Just an idea.

[@shannon4444442001]

I have a question how do you separate the connected thinlits that are stuck together?

[@CreationswithChristina]

Hi Shannon, I use a small wire snippers. Ones you find in the jewelry section of your craft store.

[@idajeanette1893]

Cool

[@HewyDewyLewy]

Hey Christina, How do you divide your envelopes? Sentiments Company

[@CreationswithChristina]

+Hewy Dewy Lewy stamps are by category, flowers, animals, sentiments etc. The dies I store by company. I'm torn between the two ways of keeping them organized.

[@elsieblakley2381]

Where did you get your preprinted labels?

[@CreationswithChristina]

Elsie Blakley Hey There. I used my label maker to make labels for my dividers and used mailing address labels for my dies and stamp labels and printed them out. Hope that helps.

[@andiebearie]

Great storage. What do you with the red rubber stamp sets like stamping up?

[@CreationswithChristina]

+andiebearie Andrea I keep all the cling stamps in a drawer. It's not organized at all :( it's a goal for the future

[@hugged-by-a-card]

I didn't see a link for those pockets u got on amazon only avery

[@CreationswithChristina]

Hugged by a Card Hey there. The link is the one for the clear plastic with tab.

[@CreationswithChristina]

Hugged by a Card oops. It’s clear plastic sleeve with flap. Sorry about that.
