Brilliant! Those clear boxes seem perfect for vertical paper storage by color or type🤗🥰
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!
Thanks! Cute idea! ❤️
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.
Great idea! But still better in a sleeve
I think you are possibly The most organized person I know. Congratulations on finding such a great system for storing your stamps.
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
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!
I now declare you the official STAMP STORGE QUEEN! 👑👑👑 So cool. TYFS
Hahaha I’m very honored! 🤭
I noticed on Rachel's CZcamss 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
Your differently glued images made me smile.
Putting a white card stock page between each page of stamps would make them more visible.
Great idea!
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.
Im glad this was helpful! 😊
Wow that is so awesome! You could tab each sheet and label them! Such a nice organization for stamps!!
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.
( 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.)
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😀
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!
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.
You c o u l d put the photocopied pages in a separate binder, but I think I’d also like one behind the corresponding plastic sheet to better discern what the stamp is on the other side.
This is super! You could add labelled tabs to the sheets to make it even easier to find the stamps you want. X
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.
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.
@@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
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 ... 😅🙈
It’s a constant struggle….
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!
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!
Thanks for the heads up! I will keep that in mind. So far it’s all good! 😊
What a fabulous stamp storage solution! The boxes would be great for fussy cuts. Thanks for sharing❣️
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!
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! 🙂
Brilliant storage solution for stamps. I already have a bunch of empty three ring binders so I'm one step closer.
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 :)
Thanks for the idea of the rounded corners! ❤️
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.
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.
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 🦋🦋🦋
Great solutions. You are so patient! I felt tired watching you. You are a wonderful organizer.
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!! 🤗❤🤗
I love your creative organization ideas. How about color coordinated scraps in those thin plastic boxes?
Love your blog style! What a space saver!!! Maybe you could use the plastic bins for some scraps or projects you are working on? Or I’m thinking could you use them somewhere else in the house, kitchen, bathroom, etc…have a wonderful day!!!
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.
Aaaaaw ☺️❤️
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!!
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).
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 ❤️
Idea! Flip sides so images side faces up with actual stamps on back side.
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!
I’ve seen people use those boxes to separate their digital papers/decorative papers
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.
Hi Barbara. I loved this video. Its so nice to listen to you when you get so excited about things 😊. I think those plastic containers will work well for storing speciality papers horizontally, or maybe some of your digikits that youve already cut out for your next video. Hugs 🤗❤
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.
So satisfying that all your stamps fit so nicely in a more compact space!!
I have a similar system, a little more nuanced. A white sheet between each stamp sheet really helps see everything better. 😊💜
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.
Oh, How I missed you, dear Barbara ❤️ ! You & your wonderful videos!
That organizing system is fabulous! ENJOY!
Welcome back! I missed your comments too! I hope you are alright! ❤️
@@49dragonflies 😊😊😊
Love the way the binder opens. Alice,,,,Your tea cup looks huge. 🤣🤣
😂😂😂
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
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 🤗🤗🤗
I would us4 those boxes for paper ephemera, stickers, project boxes or they might even be useful for some craft supplies.
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. 💕
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.
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! 😍
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.
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 😊
That is a much better way to organize your stamps. Hope you are happy with the way you have done it.💖💖💖
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.
I love these Vlogs. Thank you for sharing your progress with us. 🤗💕🤗
Oh my gosh…I love your tea cup!!
So pretty with the stamps in the binder. That was a good tip. Thank you to whomever sent that to all of us.
I love your stamp organizing! Great idea. Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊
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.
Love this storage idea! Thanks for sharing!
What a great way of storing stamps! Your room really begins to look sooo nice! Merci!
That is an amazing idea and I am totally going to use it! Thank you so much for sharing
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. 😊
( I was wondering if that wouldn’t make the stamps more readily visible. Thx for contributing that. )
Great system! Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Love this stamp organization system! Must try it! TFS the inspiration!
So glad you found a system that works for you. Perhaps you could use the boxes to store specialty papers.
Fantastic organization! That cup of tea loos so yummy and comforting.
Wow, what a project undertaking. I think it will be so handy. Great job!!
Thank you for sharing such a great idea with all of us!
Yes that is an awesome idea for stamp storage, thank you so much for sharing! 😊
What a great system Barbara..so neat ..and visual...will be easy to work with...thank you for sharing 🤗
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.
That tea looks delicious!!! Loved your stamp storage solution! 🦋🦋🦋
A perfect storage solution! Thank you for sharing!❤
It must be so satisfying to have them all neatly organized 🎉 I think I would put a clear plain first page to protect the stamps.
What a great idea of keeping all the stamps organized in one place. Thank you for the video!
Love this organization idea for the stamps. Thank you for sharing 😊💜💜
Love love love your vlogs. Thank you!!
Such a clever idea! I would probably add hole-reinforcers to the sheet, even though those sheets look really sturdy! Thanks for taking us along on your journey 🙂
Brilliantly organized!! Yay!!🫶🏻🙌🏻
Can’t wait to see your beautiful curtains 😍❤️. Thank you so much for your sharing.
Wow!! This looks so satisfying!! I like this!
That system is perfect! You are doing an amazing job getting all settled in!💕🇨🇦
Such a good system. Might try it. Maybe use the clear containers for fussy cutting
Hi Barbara😊
So glad you found a system for your stamps💕
I am so happy for you to have your own craft room. Love your videos and thanks for sharing the journey.
Your tea looked so delicious! BTW, your stamp storage system is ingenious! Hats off to you! 😊
That is an awesome storage solution! You are getting your craft room organized! Thanks for taking us along! Hugs Linda
Wow 😳 Great ideas wonderful stamps storage 👍💕
Barbara, I am so enjoying these Vlogs. It’s like visiting a friend. Love your cup and saucer too. So pretty. Can’t wait to see the curtains up. TFS! ❤️
What a great idea! That tea looks yummy and that cup is HUGE! LOL TFS❤
Great idea and having the thicker plastic sheets is a game changer. Thanks so much for sharing. Xxx
Wow. What an awesome idea to store stamps. I only have enough stamps to fit on my open hand but not for long. Thanks for sharing
Glad to see you found something that works much better. I love solutions for my things. Thanks for sharing. Have a good weekend. Stay safe. Love you too.🤗🤗🧡💚❤️
Love it, might try different paper digitals kits in boxes then you can stand them vertical. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🥰🥰🥰🥰
I’m happy for you that the new stamp storage system works. And look at all that room you have now! 😘
SO SATISFYING!!!!!
Great idea Barbara...Cheers for sharing..
These are my favorite videos!
Wow sweetie, what an amazing amount of work. I admire your perseverance 💕 but the result is super and very convenient . I love the snippets of your daily life that you interlace with the vlog 😘😘😘😘 sending you a big hug
