[@barbaraleventhal8571]

I think you are possibly The most organized person I know. Congratulations on finding such a great system for storing your stamps.

[@margiemistretta8885]

I did this for my stamps. Mine is 12x12" I used heavy duty double sided scrapbook pages Each page has a category like butterflies, bees hummingbirds and birds. The next page has flowers the next are foliage etc. I love it

[@gaynor1721]

I have a better idea. Stamp the images onto a sheet of card, laminate the card and stick the stamps on the laminated card where the image is. Punch holes, if required. That way you can see what stamps you have, what they look like stamped out and you can see if one is missing from your collection.

[@dayonburtons]

Great idea! But still better in a sleeve

[@debbivaughn1313]

Brilliant! Those clear boxes seem perfect for vertical paper storage by color or type🤗🥰

[@peggyboynton7726]

This video was perfect. It told a story of challenge with solutions along the way, plans for the future and then that sublime cup of tea at the end. Lovely background watching for me while I work on my holiday gift tag project. Vielen Dank, Barbara!

[@HesterPrynne293]

Love the new craft room!! If the curtains you have are too long - don’t cut them! Just DIY a “roll-up” curtain with some ribbon! Easy and versatile!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! Cute idea! ❤️

[@gladysward6969]

I now declare you the official STAMP STORGE QUEEN! 👑👑👑 So cool. TYFS

[@49dragonflies]

Hahaha I’m very honored! 🤭

[@loua3926]

Putting a white card stock page between each page of stamps would make them more visible. Great idea!

[@suepratt1707]

I hope you look back at your old vlogs because I just found this one & I want to let you know that this is exactly the storage system I have been trying to design. I don't keep track of the manufacturers of the stamps I buy, since I don't make videos, and I wanted a way to separate my word dies from image dies and then organize them by theme or season. I think this will be the perfect solution for me. Thank you! I can't wait to get started.

[@49dragonflies]

Im glad this was helpful! 😊

[@gabrielebruhl1218]

Your idea is phantastic. Wouldn ´t it be better to put the picture vinyl / acet in front , so you can see immediately what you want and the stamps underneath? Just put the wholes on the other side. You did awesome😀

[@susanzapletal5299]

Great system. I have an idea: you could photocopy each page to keep in a corresponding binder that would have each page numbered. Then you can quickly leaf through the paper pages and go to the right page quickly in your stamp binder.

[@kelseypetersen8442]

Wow that is so awesome! You could tab each sheet and label them! Such a nice organization for stamps!!

[@journalforjoy1726]

Loving these videos Barbara. I like the stamp storage, very good solution, much better. Just one thing…..I probably would have put the stamps the other way around, picture side first, stamps on the other side, so you and see at a glance when flicking through what the stamp looks like? Maybe that’s just me as I can’t see properly! Maybe you could put some dyed papers in the boxes, colour co-ordinated as they are see through you will be able to see the colours and they will be protected. Can’t wait to see what the curtains look like when they are up. Your craft room is looking gorgeous 😍 I’m really happy for you, you’ve got your own sanctuary to create in!

[@suzannesmith5406]

I set my stamps up same way and Stamp the image on the plastic in permanent ink. Then I slide it in a plastic sleeve to keep dust off.

[@kkrolf2782]

( I was wondering if having an open top edge wouldn’t be problematic over an extended period of time. But I THINK she said she wanted a more grab-n-go setup.)

[@GoogleBot-lf7xv]

This is super! You could add labelled tabs to the sheets to make it even easier to find the stamps you want. X

[@agardener3621]

Hi Barbara, thank you for sharing. I note you took apart sets to store stamps by category. I found the problem with this method is that once a sheet is full, you have to shift everything around to accommodate new stamps. I now use the 'Tiffany Spalding' method, keeping stamps in their sets and add them to a binder as I get new sets. I have a separate 'catalog' where I stamp all the images grouped by category. I put a reference next to each image. Having 19 binders, I can go to the catalog see, for example, all my butterfly stamps, choose the one I want and go directly to that binder. I do similar for my stencils, embossing folders and dies. It was tedious to get it all together initially, but now as I get new items I automatically add them to my catalog.

[@heathersherlock]

I love this idea. I don't keep mine in a binder but a large plastic box where I store them organised by Manufacturer. (I like to refer back to the details in case I want to search the internet for inspiration - I need the name of the stamp set.) I've always wanted to store by theme, but hesitated for that reason. I can use the 'Tiffany Spalding' method! Excellent.

[@agardener3621]

@@heathersherlock Many of my stamp sets are freebies from magazines. Yesterday one magazine came with a set of dies, stamps embossing folder and stencil. In my 'catalog' I put a reference code to denote dies etc. You could do this in your catalog with the Manufaturer name. I will say now, it took over a year to get me to this place. However I get so much inspiration from looking at like images and I actually spend more time crafting than looking for things. You may also want to consider a Pinterest page for your sets. Good luch

[@judiemjacobson4613]

I noticed on Rachel's KZbins that she uses similar plastic containers that you have left over for print out pages and puts a certain theme in each one. I'm not sure what you do with those things maybe you already have a system. You might get in touch with Rachel and see what all she puts in her boxes

[@melindastclair]

What about using a rounding punch for those sharp plastic sheet corners, Barbara. Don't want them to scratch you! I think I will copy this storage solution, thank you for showing us. And well done for taking the time to cut out the images :)

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks for the idea of the rounded corners! ❤️

[@MonaLisa-xc5dm]

Hey, dear Barbara, I am also still looking for the ingenious, cheap, practical and space-saving stamp storage system. Currently, I store my stamp sets in sleeves and these in a larger box, as it probably make many. I am not really convinced of this. With your folder system, I would be afraid that the silicone becomes brittle too quickly over time because it is quite airy only on the foil. I have the feeling that my boxes take up too much space. Actually, I would like to have a digital archiving system, so that I only need to enter butterfly on the computer, for example, and I get all the sets where butterflies are included with image preview and creative example displayed. Then I select the butterfly motifs on the computer and get them from the archived sets. I like the idea of organizing the stamps by theme and had considered that for my archives. But there are also stamp sets that have different motifs, but they go well together because they are made in the same drawing style. I wouldn't like to separate those so much. Haha... it remains difficult ... 😅🙈

[@49dragonflies]

It’s a constant struggle….

[@kkrolf2782]

Hi, Mona … Thanks for mentioning the drying factor!! This looked like a viable solution until you brought up humidity, etc.; I live in ARIZONA so I’ll NOT be doing this!! 2nd: The dilemma you described regarding sets is a horrible one, and the secondary reason I try to avoid “SETS”!! The primary reason for my avoidance, however, is that, invariably, the sentiment or image the manufacturer has produced is NOT the size I need for my project!! It’s one thing if we’re talking butterflies … if one doesn’t work, I (WE??) probably have a dozen others to choose from. That’s not always the case with other images! SOMETIMES - if I have the time and stamina! - I’ll manipulate a photo of the image I want to use and go from there. 3rd: Regarding your desire to have an electronic search system. Not sure if you’re wanting a kind of on-line version? Or maybe one that searches YOUR stash for an item to be used? If the latter, you might check out Justine Hovey’s videos wherein she compares Evernote and Airtable. “It’s me JD” also talks about the one she uses in a y.t. vid. It’s going to take me F - O - R - E - V - E - R (!!) to get to it, but I think I’ll be going with Evernote. If I understood Justine correctly, Evernote can be in residence on your gizmo, but I THINK Airtable utilizes the “Cloud”. Sometime ago I had heard of an app called “Color My Life” (or something to that effect) that was working with crafting manufacturers to have them share the details of their products to be accessed by this app. Seems like quite a number HAD signed on to the idea, but I have no idea if that is still ongoing. Really s o u n d e d like a major boon, as most of the “tags” apparently would have been pre-programmed into the app!! Hope this was of some help. Be well!

[@jneigler]

Your stamp storage system is pure genius! I don’t know how you come up with these doable, useful, and practical ideas! 😮 Your studio is absolutely gorgeous and inspiring. Your creativity is just AWESOME and you deserve a space to match your talent.

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaaaw ☺️❤️

[@suebouch4074]

Hello! Congratulations on completing that tedious project of reorganizing your stamp storage. It was great that it worked out to have one binder for clear stamps and the second binder for red rubber stamps. If your collection grows you already have the 3rd binder to match that could possibly be your favorites. As for those lovely flat clear boxes, they would be wonderful for ephemera, stamped & fuzzy cut (or ScanNCut for me) images ready to use, perfect for protecting your vintage documents (and/or sorting the ones you have or have not scanned), specialty papers, project materials, cardstock, seasonal items, etc. Thanks for sharing… I love that you’re real and bring us along on your journey. Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂

[@janillingsworth7478]

Great solutions. You are so patient! I felt tired watching you. You are a wonderful organizer.

[@mylittlemainecottagestudio]

I have used quite a few stamp storage systems over many years and thought what I have is really good, it's an early 20th century dental cabinet with lots of shallow drawers, but your new binder system is way better Barbara! What a superior way to store them and you can easily transport them to your work surface as well as have many to choose from if you need a different size, design, etc. Really enjoy your Studio Vlogs! It's like getting an exclusive invitation to have a one on one with you right in your studio. I love it! Thanks Barbara!!

[@sherryliberto6749]

Great video! Ha, exactly how I have my hot tea! I'm a big coffee drinker but when I have tea it's with cream and sweetener. You have patience of a Saint 💖 taking that much time to get your stamps perfect. Geez . Have a super fantastic weekend. Sending love and hugs Sherry 🦋🦋🦋

[@TheEclecticCottage]

Those clear page size boxes will be perfect for project sorting … storing all items for individual projects putting them within easy reach. Love the stamp storage.

[@trinapatterson8872]

I’ve seen people use those boxes to separate their digital papers/decorative papers

[@helenerobitaille9884]

Hello, thanks for sharing! When I put my stamps on acetate sheets, I stamp them with Stazon, I find it faster. It requires to be careful though because the stamps tends to slide sometimes but it is easily erasable with Stazon cleaner on plastic before it dries… Hoping you have a wonderful day!

[@libertylost8286]

I have had my stamps in binders for over a year now. I love it. I also organize by theme. I break up collections, because it doesn’t bother me. I want to have like things together. For stamps that don’t stick, use Aleene’s “Tack it over & over” glue. It works great. I took all my stamps off wooden blocks and added Aleene’s glue and I haven’t had any problems with them sticking. The ease of grabbing a binder has made everything easier. If I want dragonfly, I look in my bugs and animals binder. If I want a congratulations word, I pull out my word binder and look under the section of single words. My themes are person place and things, travel, holidays, love, birthday, animals and bugs, journal, flowers and trees, scenery, shapes, tags and labels, words. I have subsections in some of my binders. I also have my stickers and die cuts, chip board and enamel dots and bling, in binders. All organized by theme. (Except for the dots and bling, those are by color).

[@Pamcreatesjournals]

Great storage solution.. I was wonder if you tried stamping with a permanent ink right on the plastic? Would have been awesome if it saved time on cutting the images and taping them.

[@grandepuce8]

I used this system and eventually gave it up - over time stamps lose the ability to stick nicely to the thick plastic sheets. Stamps falling off became a major annoyance! You can clean up the back of stamps to get the stamps sticky again (like you did in the video), but ultimately they only stick temporarily. I hope are still happy with your new system for years to come. If you start experiencing the same problem I had, you might want to put the plastic sheets with stamps on them in sheet protectors so the stamps that fall off fall into the sheet protectors. I used to live in Germany and I love those German binders. The opening mechanism is so much nicer than what we have here in the US!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks for the heads up! I will keep that in mind. So far it’s all good! 😊

[@dodipc]

What a fabulous stamp storage solution! The boxes would be great for fussy cuts. Thanks for sharing❣️

[@fsuminski]

Brilliant stamp storage...amazing job!! The empty boxes would be great as project boxes...keeping together all papers, ephemera & embellishments for each project! Big HUGS!! 🤗❤🤗

[@skeletalremains3860]

Brilliant storage solution for stamps. I already have a bunch of empty three ring binders so I'm one step closer.

[@k-creationskristinhuxford4531]

Hi Barbara! I have an idea for your left over plastic boxes. You could use them to sort your paper scraps into by color or type.

[@user-xu2mc6bx7q]

Idea! Flip sides so images side faces up with actual stamps on back side.

[@sandofthesun]

Wow 🤩. Great storage solution. I would use the boxes for some pre- made signatures in neutral colors that you can just grab when needed. Then you can embellish as you want. Love love ❤️

[@berolinastrassmann]

Your empty boxes could be great flat storage for paintings, cardstock or prints. Safe from humidity, they can lay flat. Also great for pencils, crayons pr even synthetic brushes ( only when they are dry, otherwise they will deteriorate). Also good to save paper scraps, one box for each colour or type (vintage, prints,etc) great idea with the mobile acetate sheets!

[@faodail3913]

If you put a white sheet between pages you'll see the stamps easier on the clear ones.

[@beautybug1831]

[@dayonburtons]

I have used this system for some time. I find it is better to insert the sheets into clear plastic sleeves, then it catches any stamps that may fall off as you flip pages.

[@katiecoleman9847]

So satisfying that all your stamps fit so nicely in a more compact space!!

[@nettieletkeman5978]

So pretty with the stamps in the binder. That was a good tip. Thank you to whomever sent that to all of us.

[@deb.jones64]

A great solution Barbara 💜👌 I have similar system, but put the identifying image on the FRONT of each acetate page...stamps on the back. The Tim Holtz stamps I have stuck on the BACKSIDE of the acetate...so you can see the image from the front. It is so satisfying to find a system that works for you. Well done! 😍

[@PetraNR1967]

I was thinking it would be better the other way around and then I saw your message. So I’m gonna do it your way.

[@deb.jones64]

Could the leftover clear boxes be used for excess ephemera...sorted/labelled into themes ?? I have a die-cut machine, so now thinking I might store my thinlits in similar containers. They are currently on magnetic sheets 😊

[@donnaarsenoff8399]

Thank you for making these vlogs. It’s so nice to see you and your craft room. I love the way you are getting everything organized and I can certainly learn a lot about organization from you.

[@NatureSpiritJournals]

Ich dachte mir schon, dass du eine andere Lösung finden wirst 👍. Ich benutze große Ordner, lasse die Stempelsets auf ihren Folien und stecke sie einfach in A5 oder A6 große Taschen von Sammelhüllen, die sind insgesamt alle A4 groß und werden manchmal auch Prospekthüllen genannt. Die Taschen sind auch sehr stabil und die beiden Formate passen für alles. Da muss ich nicht mehr groß umsortieren und auch die Gummistempel passen da super rein. Falls mal etwas abrutscht, dann landet es sicher in den Taschen. PS: Bitte überprüfe, ob deine Windradfolie den Gummistempeln nicht auf Dauer schadet… ich hatte mal eine ähnliche Lösung für Stempel ohne Trägerfolie, so wie die von Ideen mit Herz und die hab ich hinterher nicht mehr richtig von der Folie ab bekommen 😔. Liebe Grüße Nicole

[@49dragonflies]

Danke für die Info! ❤️

[@kkrolf2782]

Maybe you could have stamped your images directly onto the acetate index sheet with StazOn Ink? I guess that would present its own challenge as to getting the images right side up, but it might decrease your album bulk?

[@49dragonflies]

Maybe, but it would have taken a long time 😉

[@kkrolf2782]

@@49dragonflies Hmm … ya, you’re probably right. But thank you for ideas!

[@limerent72]

I love the size of your binder and how thick your acetate refills are. It was also very satisfying to watch you "tetris" your cling stamps on their backing sheets. Thanks for sharing your storage system! As for the remaining plastic boxes, I would love to see those fit wood mounted rubber stamps, which I have plenty of and are my first love. 💕

[@amandarichards7420]

What a great system! Will be implementing this one! I use those containers for large printable kits whilst waiting to be used. I also use them for specialty things like vellum, acetate, rice paper and my coloured dyed papers

[@znycelondon5313]

I love this storage idea. Looks so organized. I don’t have a lot of stamps….yet….but when I do I will definitely consider doing this 🤗🤗🤗

[@ramonalee1]

Really nice. I have a similar system but I use 12x12 clam shells. It holds a lot but when you open the books, you need more than 24 inches of space and that’s always a problem. I end up opening them up on the stovetop, kitchen table, wherever I can find flat space. I also have a luggage rack in my craft room that I open up and set them on sometimes. Tip: If you have stamps with no image for the back, you can stamp your stamp on the back with STAYZON ink.

[@ScissorsAndSmiles]

Wow, that’s a MASSIVE cupán tae (Irish for “cup of tea” 😉). Great stuff re. your new stamp storage system. Looks very neat and efficient. Maybe you could use the plastic boxes for storing themed fussy cuts? Or for collections of papers scraps, sorted by colour/theme? I actually wish I had those boxes for *exactly* that purpose.

[@AngieTrianta]

I really love this idea for storing stamps. I’ve been looking at the Tim Holtz stamp binders for a while, but they’re too expensive. This is a much more cost effective way to do it. Thank you for sharing.

[@lynnbeard2450]

wondered if the leftover boxes would be useful to store special papers? Great idea on the stamp storage! The office is looking really nice. Hugs from Texas.

That is a much better way to organize your stamps. Hope you are happy with the way you have done it.💖💖💖

I found this today. I actually started putting mine in binders a few weeks ago. Mine are backwards from yours. I have the acetate on the front side and the stamps on the back. 😊

[@kkrolf2782]

( I was wondering if that wouldn’t make the stamps more readily visible. Thx for contributing that. )

[@MaximumCC]

I've stored my stamps like this for a few years. Yes it works really well. I like the stamps in categories rather than keeping them together the way they are purchased.

[@tracytanasiychuk8253]

My thought was maybe putting a thin white sheet of paper between to make it easier to see. I also think tabs with image categories may be helpful. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦

[@lisastayman6392]

I also have done this many years ago. They are still sticking in their binders. I did use too big of a binder and they are too heavy for me to pick up easily. The size that you used appear to be best. I have several different stamp storage solutions because I have way too many stamps...30 year collection!! My Tim Holtz stamps have their own binder as they are my go to stamps at the moment. Nice job on your organization.

[@grejtnag.227]

Dein neues Stempelaufbewahrungssystem sieht gut aus. Die Ordner sind sicher sehr schwer. Das trainiert die Armmuskeln 💪💪💪. Die Gardinen solltst du besser nicht vor die Heizung hängen. Das verhindert die Zirkulation der warmen Luft. Selbst bei relativ dünnen Gardinen gibt es diesen Effekt. Es ist spannent zu sehen wie sich der Raum verändert.

[@MichelleB_96]

There’s always something to organize! Def hold onto those plastic boxes..they can be utilized in sooo many ways…storing painted papers, coffee dyed papers, digital kits, small projects in progress, etc. Also, you’re still getting the room together, you might come across something down the line that it ends up being perfect for!

[@pattyh2410]

Nice system. I set up a database on Airtable (free version). It includes the stamp set name, picture, company, sentiments. It is very handy when I want a specific stamp. I have over 500 stamps sets. I store them in Avery Elle pockets.

[@lucyfanning7496]

[@freedom969o]

Hi Barbara. Great idea. Glad you found a better solution. This is how I store mine. Not sure if it makes a difference to you, but I was thinking maybe you can place the red cling stamps on the back of the page so that you can see the image when you open it. Hope that makes sense. Tfs, Wallie

I recently moved and culled my craft supplies drastically and had no trouble getting a few dollars for all my used storage containers I no longer needed ….they went much faster than the crafting supplies…lol. Love the stamp storage idea May do the same thing but would only need a thin folder as I only have a few stamps 😁👍 happy crafting. 💕

Love this idea. I’m looking to see if I can possibly do the same. A thought for your boxes you previously bought, they might work for your wooden stamps. Not sure but a thought. Thank you again for your inspiration!❤

This is a super idea, but I have probably 20 times the amount of stamps as you!! My idea is to store them in their original packaging but slip them into storage envelopes so I can just reach in and grab. I will store them by manufacturer because it’s easier for me to look to be sure I don’t buy the same thing twice. Then, I plan to make sheets (that will be stored in a binder by theme) where I Stamp the images by theme and on the sheet I can mark which set the image is from so I can find it on the shelf. Either way, this is a monumental task and will take ages to do lol. TYFS I’m enjoying this series. I also have the Dreambox 🥰❤️🦋💜

I enjoy watching your studio series, together with your recipes or drinks. By the way, that tea cup is huge and beautiful!!! ❤️

Great idea and having the thicker plastic sheets is a game changer. Thanks so much for sharing. Xxx

[@joannewatson8674]

Love your stamp storage solution. I agree that it works better than the plastic boxes. You could use your boxes for organizing Embellishments ect. What ever you choose to do will be amazing! You are so inspiring!

[@priscillaco.6142]

Wow 😳 Great ideas wonderful stamps storage 👍💕

Another option is if you don't have the image of the item on plastic (may have gotten lost or don't want to cut each piece out) is to stamp each image or set on copy paper and put before or after the set to view what you have on the acetate, does that make sense?

[@49dragonflies]

Yes, thanks!

[@nanascraftingcottage3620]

Needless to say, I will be doing this as well!!! I have ordered all the supplies and am very excited to get it done. Thank you for sharing, Barbara!!! ❤❤

@nana’scraftingcottage where did you find the acetate sheets? I haven’t found them thick enough.

[@nanascraftingcottage3620]

@@wrenbayley I found them on Amazon. 5 mil clear blank stencil sheets by Bright Creations. I hope this helps. 🥰

[@wrenbayley]

@@nanascraftingcottage3620 fantastic! Thank you.

Hi Barbara What a cool idea. Hope they don’t come off. I do like this idea.

[@tlglock1637]

Since you adhered them on the wrong side, try turning the acitate sheet upside down and to the other side. Your key images will be at the bottom instead of the top but you will be able to store your stamps in the correct direction that you wanted.

I am so happy for you to have your own craft room. Love your videos and thanks for sharing the journey.

[@tyedye571]

I love this idea. I have my stamps in binders but inside pouches. I like your idea better.

[@49dragonflies]

I still love it and it’s holding up great!

Diese Idee gefällt mir super gut und ich habe sogar noch windradfolie vom windowcolor malen. Das werde ich auch so machen dann sind meine stempel übersichtlicher verräumt. Danke fürs zeigen
