Great idea! I photo copy each set I have and number it on the page (I put it in a page protector and then in a binder) and then same number on the sleeve. That way I pull out my personal stamp catalog, flip through it and find the stamp set I want and know exactly where to find it. You can go a step farther by separating them into categories. I have 3 large binders and it really helps. It takes time but it is one of the best solutions to a large collection. Once it is done just keep up with it as your collection grows. Please note I have been using stamps for 18 years 😊 Hence the large collection. I am not a hoarder🤣
@@dinahsoar6982 you can do it. I started after I had many sets. I also unmounted all my wood blocks. It was very overwhelming. One step at a time is best. Make a goal of doing even 5 sets a night, or start now with anything you buy then add a set or 2. Who cares if it takes you a year😊. It feels so good to be able to see what you have at a glance and to know exactly where they are. At first I was stamping them all, then it hit me to photocopy...game changer...lol
My Crafting Buddy started this system for me a few years ago because she's been crafting since dinosaurs roamed the earth! I have Rheumatoid Arthritis so my small motor skills suck and I can't lift anything too heavy. My workstation is far away from my stamp and die storage. I keep the binder with the stamp examples right at my desk so it is super easy and light to flip through when choosing a stamp or looking for inspiration. I also write the identifying information in my examples binder so it's at my workstation if I need it. Some of the categories I use if someone would like a starting point: - Stamp & Matching Die sets - Alpha Numeric & Words - Floral & Foliage - Background & Textures - Critters - Objects I also have a binder for my Dies and one for my stencils at my desk as well. Three one-inch binders in different colours. The stencil one is the newest addition as recently my stencil collection has become ... more! LOL
Terrific! I saw another video where the woman cut down some Dollar Tree frosted, colorless, kitchen cutting mats to make dividers for the different genres of stamps, so that they were an inch taller than her envelopes. She said you can write right on the mats with a Sharpie to label them, and you can write the shape of with nail polish remover, to change the labels. I think there was more than one mat in a package for $1, and you can get multiple dividers from one mat. Thanks for the great idea! Wouldn't we all love to have Jennifer's resources, but isn't it fun to figure out how to do it for less?
That is amazing - I am almost certain I have some of those placemats too! They come 2 in a package and are pretty large. Great tip, thanks! I love Jennifer!! But I needed the cheapie version for sure haha
I started storing my stamps and dies like this about a week ago when I had an epiphany at the Dollar Tree. It's so funny how your video just popped up for me today. You mentioned other photo albums could work in the same way. I just found a photo album at a thrift store that I snapped up for a couple of dollars to use for larger stamp sets. It's amazing how other people's "junk" can be your "treasure," especially when you think outside of the box.
That's incredible how that worked. I didn't even have my epiphany until way after I tried stuffing my stamps in the photo album as-is. It was so fat and unmanageable then it finally dawned on me to remove the pages lol I love that you were able to find some larger ones too!
What a great idea. I did this for all my misc. stamps, but I went a step further. I went back to Dollar Tree to pick up 4 more albums to use for my cards. I did not tear the books apart for this project. After I finish each new card, I then photocopy the card and on the back of the copy I write down the stamp set name and dies used. I also write down who I sent the card to and date and then place into the sleeve. I did books for Christmas and birthdays. Also a book for extra die cutouts and one for ideas like different embossing techniques etc. Thank you so much for the idea.
As futrher organization...I added taller colored paper as dividers with titles of what stamps were in that section.. sentiments, animals, holidays,house mouse, ... whatever sections you want ... that helps me at least start the correct search without having to go thru all the stamps to find what I am looking for..
This is EXACTLY the way I have been doing fo at least 4 years now works great !! What i do is i take a piece of copy paper and stamp the image while on storage plastic it comes on . Then cut down to fit pocket slide in front you can see at a glance how it looks stamped....works !!!!!!
Genius - I remember I had hundreds of these mini pockets that I didn’t think I had a use for. I have just dug them out from the bottom of the closet. I knew they would come in use one day!!! Thank you from 🇬🇧, liked and subscribed!
Thank you. I'm in the middle of organizing all my stamps, and been pulling ideas from many different people to find ways that will work for me. I was just wondering about all the odd sheets of stamps I have, and how I could store them, and the tip about keeping the die's with them is great. And thanks to Kim Clayton who suggested rounding the corners, that is going to save me some heartache. Thanks all the way from New Zealand.
This is a great, inexpensive way to put stamps and could also be used for dies. I dismantled my photo album to do my photos as a story. The album has pockets so that is now home for my small dies and stamps. Your idea will be good for my larger ones.
I JUST came across your video and it JUST so happens we have a planned trip to Dollar Tree planned for today so I KNOW WHAT I'M looking for! THANK YOU for the GENIUS IDEA!!!
What a great storage solution! I did this with mine after seeing your video, and store them on the back of my craft room door in the clear pockets of a dollar tree shoe bag, easy to label and find things and vertical storage is so handy. Thank you!
Great idea! Just came back from Dollar Tree with 4 of their new clear stamp sets, and thought now I have enough stamps to need some organizing. Another trip to Dollar Tree is in my future! Thank you
Your video is great! I love Dollar Tree and the things I can get there for, now $1.25. As far as stamp storage goes, I've done several methods including the Jennifer McGuire set up, which is very similar to yours BUT hers is way more expensive. I have learned many things on my road to paper crafting but the MOST important is this - Save money on what you can, so you can afford to buy the stuff you really want to use. This is a great way to save money, so I have more money to have the things I want.
I used this idea and loved how it turned out. I am trying to organize my craft room and was able to get rid of one trash bag of plastic cases. So thank you.
I love Jennifer McGuire too, however….. I do love your style! I found you and lost you…. I found you again, AND subscribed. I won’t loose you again! You have fantastic organizing ideas.
What a great idea - I am new to stamping but I have accumulated quite a few stamps and I was wondering how to store them. I will be sure to use this idea to get organised so thankyou for sharing x
I just came across your video while looking for craft organizing storage ideas. This is a wonderful money saving idea. I have been storing my smaller stamps and dies in their original packaging in bins like you have in this video but it is such a pain to open the packaging every time and not have them rip over time. This is a great alternative, easier to take them in and out and sturdier too. Thank you for sharing this idea!
I ordered more clear envelopes from Amazon. Now, I want to run to the dollar store. You have excellent ideas and I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you!!😁
Girl u are a genius! You could even take another book and make a guide book of stamp /die images!! So many ideas!!! Thank u for thinking outside of the box!!! You just got a new subbie!!!!!
What a great idea!!! In the process of removing the wood from my older stamps. Storing them in sleeves, in a shoebox container would work for me 😁 Thank you clever girl!!
Thanks for sharing this great idea! I store my dies in a container similar to yours, and my stamps that come with dies, exactly as shown above. However, it never occurred to me to use the Dollar Store photo sleeves. That's brilliant - and it looks great! Again, thanks for sharing.
Just saw your video now - New Year December 31st 2023 -2024🥳🎉awesome storage idea, love everything that saves money.💸.....to buy more items, lol Thank you so much for sharing!♥
Thank you for this video! I have been trying to think of an economical way to manage my growing stamp collection and you just showed me how to do it. Off to Dollar Tree! 🌳
I love your ideas. It's so cool how you came up with the little albums to use. Awesome. I use the bins they work so good. I had already put to much money on the envelopes for the storage. I wish I had seen this video first. Thank you for making this video.
This just came up in my recommended videos...after I got back from the Dollar Tree! Lol! Our DT isn't very big, but I'll definitely go back and see if they have these. Nearly all my stamps are in DVD cases, so I need a need a more space saving solution. Thanks for this great tip!!!
I'm regrouping my stamps into "likes with likes" (thank you, happy birthday, thinking of you, etc.) and like you, storing them in clear shoe boxes so I can quickly find the sentiment I need. I just need the albums. So, I'm off to DT. Thanks!
This is brilliant! I use the ScrapRack to story most of my stamps and dies, but I have a collection of card base dies that I want to flip through and find easily. This is it! Thank you for your video!
Great idea with the photo book! I have my stamps in containers using purchased sleeves but this is more economical! I also put dividers in between based on genre! Tfs❤
I've been storing my unmounted stamps since the late 1990's in 4x6 appx zip bags, very inexpensive at the craft store. I originally used those plastic shoe bins to house the sleeves. Later I switched to those decorative photo boxes Michaels sells. I like the ones with metal tags on the end...I identify my boxes that way. Box 1 has topic A-C etc. I'd thought about your method too, thanks for sharing how you approached the storage solution. When you showed how you took apart the individual sleeves I thought I'd suggest leaving a few together for your sets like upper and lower case alphabets or sets with larger stamp quantities.
Great idea! I am already keeping all my dies in these albums. They have held up really well the past 3 years. I have got to see if the majority of my stamps will fit. I have bought most of my stamps from Ali express and thier are often square. But this is the best affordable option I have seen to date! Great idea!!!
This is, definitely, one of the smartest, quickest, and most cost-effective hacks that I have seen so far for those stamps. As soon as I saw it, I went to $Tree. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for generously sharing your organizational tip(s)!....very clever and cheap. I have a lot of dies and smaller stamp sets on a hanging organizer with pockets (Marshalls) but I'm losing control! Time to consolidate with your hack! Thanks so much!
Thank u so very much. I especially like the idea of having your stamps & dies 2gether that go 2gether in 1 sleeve. I have been looking 4 a solution 2 this 4 quite a while. Thank u thank u thank u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a blessed great night.
I just found you, this is a wonderful idea for storing the stamps and dies..I will be doing this also..the only thing I will do is cut the card sock they come on just a little higher than the sleeve for seeing what they are..Great idea!!
Oh wow! I love this idea! My Dollar Store also has those albums in various sizes...I'm going 'shopping' tomorrow! Many thanks for a great informative video - stay well🙂
this is a good idea i used the photo album to keep my small dies in it
8 місяців тому
Love your ideas. Wish I had seen this before I started my addiction. I have sleeves that I paid way too much for that I use like your sleeve pockets but I also put die cuts in the back behind the dies.
Soooo glad this came up in my UA-cam feed! What an EXCELLENT idea. And timely as I am working on my craft room organization right now. Will definitely be stopping into the Dollar Tree to pick up an album or two. Thank you for sharing!
I try to include a notation of the date I bought/was given each stamp set/die/embossing folder and price I paid for it. It's eye-opening to see how little I paid for something 30 years ago compared to what I paid for something yesterday.
Thank you for the great idea. I’m currently using CD sleeves that I bought at the thrift store (100 for $1) for the smaller stamp sets. I still have larger ones in their original packaging that I’d love to organize.
Thank you so much for sharing this great idea. It is genius. I will be heading to the dollar tree this weekend. I too have been wanting to organize my stamps but could not bring myself to make the investment in buying the envelopes sold for them. Thank you,. Thank you and Thank you again. I love this ideas.
Great solution. I'm frugal too and I take the original packaging, and trim a sliver off of the long side..then I remove the stamps and round the corner of the card stock to which they're attached and slip them back in the pkg and store them on their side with the cut side on the top. I always tape the ends of the cell packaging to reinforce it b/c, over time, it might split on the ends..scotch tape prevents that. I store everything similarly..I like to recycle my sparkling water containers (the ones that are the 12 oz cans) ..I cut them in half so I have 2 'boxes without lids"..not really pretty but so useful for many applications. I trim the sides down to about an inch and a half all around and use the shallow box that is left to organize the pieces I'm working on...they stack so the footprint on my work surface is small, gives me more room to work.
This is an ingenious [clever, original, and inventive] idea for stamp storage on a budget. Love all the adjectives to this word. It would make a great definition stamp. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to watching more.
What a fantastic idea! I will tape the name of the stamp to the pocket for a quick ID when looking for a specific set. I also use Airtable to get an inventory of what I have so I don't reorder it by mistake.
@@ladytee337 YES. Airtable is a free app. I have it on my phone, my IPad and my desktop computer. I am able to keep track of my supplies, collections, wants and desires. Very handy when I am out shopping for antiques and see something I collect. I can look at pictures, compare prices or see how many I may need (dishes). Check it out. I also keep track of what stamps, dies, stencils, etc I have so I don't order something I already have. Great product. Easy to use.
This is brilliant. I know, not an original comment, but it just is brilliant!! I found you yesterday with a couple of gel plate tutorials, pinned those (because you have amazing ideas) and after this video I subscribed immediately. On to some more great ideas. Oh, I am not a hoarder. Nope not at all!! Thanks for sharing👍
So freakin smart! Now I can’t wait to rip an album apart 😂. Thank you for sharing your idea.
This popped in my recommendations and what a brilliant idea! Saves money and keeps everything organized! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Thank you for showing how to cut and tear the album sleeves. I would never have thought to do that on my own. A really great idea!
Great idea! I photo copy each set I have and number it on the page (I put it in a page protector and then in a binder) and then same number on the sleeve. That way I pull out my personal stamp catalog, flip through it and find the stamp set I want and know exactly where to find it. You can go a step farther by separating them into categories.

Please note I have been using stamps for 18 years 😊 Hence the large collection. I am not a hoarder🤣
Whoa - the stamp catalog idea is incredible! I love that. Nope...no hoarding over here either lol
I wish I'd done that when I started stamping...I have so many stamps now the task would be overwhelming. Even taking pics would be overwhelming.
@@dinahsoar6982 you can do it. I started after I had many sets. I also unmounted all my wood blocks. It was very overwhelming. One step at a time is best. Make a goal of doing even 5 sets a night, or start now with anything you buy then add a set or 2. Who cares if it takes you a year😊. It feels so good to be able to see what you have at a glance and to know exactly where they are. At first I was stamping them all, then it hit me to photocopy...game changer...lol
I do the same thing! it so quick to find what I want
My Crafting Buddy started this system for me a few years ago because she's been crafting since dinosaurs roamed the earth!
I have Rheumatoid Arthritis so my small motor skills suck and I can't lift anything too heavy. My workstation is far away from my stamp and die storage.
I keep the binder with the stamp examples right at my desk so it is super easy and light to flip through when choosing a stamp or looking for inspiration. I also write the identifying information in my examples binder so it's at my workstation if I need it.
Some of the categories I use if someone would like a starting point:
- Stamp & Matching Die sets
- Alpha Numeric & Words
- Floral & Foliage
- Background & Textures
- Critters
- Objects
I also have a binder for my Dies and one for my stencils at my desk as well. Three one-inch binders in different colours. The stencil one is the newest addition as recently my stencil collection has become ... more! LOL
I do this exactly! They also will hold 99% of your dies on a card stock and strip of magnet. I love this system.
Watched this video a while ago and watched again today. I truly appreciate what you have shared. Great job!!!
Brilliant idea... I have spent too much money on magnetic sheets and pockets and still it never ends... this is an awesome idea, thanks
😳🤯🤩 this is a fantastic idea! So many can’t afford the big time stampers, yet this is clean, simple and affordable. Thank you for sharing

I have used those for many things! I use them for templates for sewing, dividers for scrapbooking, and much more!
I use 3 ring binder and stick my stamps to laminated cardstock.
This is absolutely genius!!! This could be used for many other things also like ephemera storage! Tfs 💜🤗
I think that this would work for my dies that come in my British magazines and other dies that I use. thanks!

Great idea! I might would put a cut out curve in the middle of each pocket to make getting the stamp sheet out easier.
What a cleaver idea! I always believe that crafters are not only creative but also incredibly resourceful! Thank you for sharing!!
As futrher organization...I added taller colored paper as dividers with titles of what stamps were in that section.. sentiments, animals, holidays,house mouse, ... whatever sections you want ... that helps me at least start the correct search without having to go thru all the stamps to find what I am looking for..
Yessss, this is perfect. Takes the organization to the next level. Thank you!
I use the plastic school folders from DT to cut up for my dividers. Different colors for different categories !
Yay House Mouse!

When hoarding craft supplies pays off. :)
Brillant! I can't help but think of all the money you saved to buy more STAMPS. Very well done. Subscribed because I don't want to miss anything.
I’m with you. The amount of money some spend on storage and stamps and dies is mind boggling. Thanks for the ideas
Thank you. I'm in the middle of organizing all my stamps, and been pulling ideas from many different people to find ways that will work for me. I was just wondering about all the odd sheets of stamps I have, and how I could store them, and the tip about keeping the die's with them is great.
And thanks to Kim Clayton who suggested rounding the corners, that is going to save me some heartache.
Thanks all the way from New Zealand.
This is wonderful. I was looking for ways to store stencils and now I am going to use this for my stencils, die kits, and stamps!❤
What a brilliant idea! I am just getting started in card-making and this video took away my anxiety about storage. THANK YOU!
Newbie stamper here and this is perfect for me!! Glad I watched you first for organizing!!
I love this! Thank you so much for the idea! You’re awesome 🎉
So glad it was helpful, thank you!
After spending a lot of $ on stamp storage pockets and metal die sheets. This is a very good hack
What an excellent idea! Wish I had watched this before I spent money on cellophane bags to do the same idea!
This is a great, inexpensive way to put stamps and could also be used for dies. I dismantled my photo album to do my photos as a story. The album has pockets so that is now home for my small dies and stamps. Your idea will be good for my larger ones.

I don't have a lot of stamp sets, but if i did, this is a great idea on how to store. Thanks!💜

Soooo glad this came up in my UA-cam feed! What an EXCELLENT idea. And timely as I am working on my craft room organization right now. Will definitely be stopping into the Dollar Tree to pick up an album or two. Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!
So clever! I would never have seen this photo album and thought of this!
Brilliant! I love you put the stamp and dies together! Thanks!
I try to include a notation of the date I bought/was given each stamp set/die/embossing folder and price I paid for it. It's eye-opening to see how little I paid for something 30 years ago compared to what I paid for something yesterday.
Thank you for the great idea. I’m currently using CD sleeves that I bought at the thrift store (100 for $1) for the smaller stamp sets. I still have larger ones in their original packaging that I’d love to organize.
Great ideas and loving your matter of fact voice!
I love this idea and went to Dollar Tree--bought the last four they had out. That's plenty for me. Thanks for sharing this!
Great idea! Just started a collection of stamps and was struggling with how to organize them.
Thank you so much for sharing this great idea. It is genius. I will be heading to the dollar tree this weekend. I too have been wanting to organize my stamps but could not bring myself to make the investment in buying the envelopes sold for them. Thank you,. Thank you and Thank you again. I love this ideas.
Great solution. I'm frugal too and I take the original packaging, and trim a sliver off of the long side..then I remove the stamps and round the corner of the card stock to which they're attached and slip them back in the pkg and store them on their side with the cut side on the top. I always tape the ends of the cell packaging to reinforce it b/c, over time, it might split on the ends..scotch tape prevents that. I store everything similarly..I like to recycle my sparkling water containers (the ones that are the 12 oz cans) ..I cut them in half so I have 2 'boxes without lids"..not really pretty but so useful for many applications. I trim the sides down to about an inch and a half all around and use the shallow box that is left to organize the pieces I'm working on...they stack so the footprint on my work surface is small, gives me more room to work.
Amazing ideas, TFS!
This is an ingenious [clever, original, and inventive] idea for stamp storage on a budget. Love all the adjectives to this word. It would make a great definition stamp. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to watching more.
OMGee! I was just scrolling thru & found YOU! I’m SO elated that I did! Genius idea! I also subscribed! Thank you! Love you & many blessings!
Yay! Thank you + God bless!
Does anyone have any ideas how to inexpensively store embossing folders?
Too Cool for School. Thanks for letting me know this. Love it!
What a fantastic idea! I will tape the name of the stamp to the pocket for a quick ID when looking for a specific set. I also use Airtable to get an inventory of what I have so I don't reorder it by mistake.
Hi Terri, what is Airtable,is it an appp?
@@ladytee337 YES. Airtable is a free app. I have it on my phone, my IPad and my desktop computer. I am able to keep track of my supplies, collections, wants and desires. Very handy when I am out shopping for antiques and see something I collect. I can look at pictures, compare prices or see how many I may need (dishes). Check it out. I also keep track of what stamps, dies, stencils, etc I have so I don't order something I already have. Great product. Easy to use.
@@TerriCZT16 thank you Terri
This is brilliant. I know, not an original comment, but it just is brilliant!!
I found you yesterday with a couple of gel plate tutorials, pinned those (because you have amazing ideas) and after this video I subscribed immediately. On to some more great ideas. Oh, I am not a hoarder. Nope not at all!!
Thanks for sharing👍
Thank you so much, that is really kind of you to say!! Glad you enjoyed :D
You are a genius ❤ TFS!
