I like that you don't apologise for liking what you like, that you aren't ashamed to buy used, and that your hobby brings you such obvious happiness.
I enjoy seeing someone who still likes their wood mount stamps!
I don’t have near the wood stamps you do but if someone need a smaller way to store them. I put mine in a shoe hanging bag and I can see what in there thru the clear plastic. But I got some storage idea from you video. My craft area is a big mess now waiting to be organize LOL
Just starting to realise I'm getting to be one of the oldies who know about your stamps, the little foam squares & who remember the old furnace.
Yep, I feel the same.
Yep :-) I remember pre-binder storage for Lindsay. I remember everything from the very beginning! When you find somebody who is as interesting and sweet and common sense as Lindsay, you keep watching. Thanks for all the happy years Lindsay💘💘💘💘
aww, thank you!
They came in these 3-D craft kits where you would have 4 die cut copies of a painting and you would punch out the peices and layer the punch outs on the original peice and it would make a 3-D collage painting when you were done. My kids loved to make them and there would be sheets of the foam squares leftover from each one. The foam square are the best because they don't weaken and dry out over time like the scrapbook ones do. Sadly they don't seem to make the craft kits anymore but I seem to have a lifetime of the foam squares LOL!
@@Natalie_713 I do indeed, the answer you seek is right there in Lindsay's crafting videos. Time for some binge-watching methinks?
I love how you compare your stamp collection to other people's postage stamp collections. Collecting is half the fun, creating with them is the other half.
I sometimes go back to your "storage videos" because I just love watching your rubber stamps! They just make me want to close my eyes and just pick some and start creating!
Oh my... I haven’t watched you in a very long time but I LOVE YOUR HAIR! Just gorgeous! 💓
thanks!
Good morning Lindsey. I so appreciate your upbeat spirit and personality. 😀
I love my wood mounted stamps. I wish I had a wooden stamp display shelf like yours...beautiful! tyfs
Oh Lindsay, you are without a doubt my favorite UA-camr! You always light up my day. What a happy personality! My late husband used to tease me that I was a collector of supplies rather than a scrapbooker or card maker. Some truth to that.
I started crafting since I made Baby-shower invitations for my nephew whom is almost 5 years old now. My collections of stamps, dies, and paper kept growing. Now I get asked to design and make banners for religious organizations. Happy crafting.
Lindsay, I just wanted to tell you thank you for all the happy years watching your videos from the very beginning :-) I remember pre-binder storage and all the rest.💕💕💕💕
So glad you compared rubber stamp collecting to any other kind of collection. I get asked a lot of questions about why i need so many. Dame answer: I like them! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing all your stamps and storage with us, i think everyone should have a hobby be it card making, cooking, golf or whatever, i started of scrapbooking to record our family's history then added painting and card making i started in 2006 and now I'm retired i have enough to keep me happy for many years. i have seen many of your posts but this is the first time iv seen you in a video.
I love your stamp collection! Your wall of wooden stamps is amazing. My heart did a little pitter patter. 💓
It is the funniest thought of how much you think you can "save" when you begin making your own cards! My question to myself has been, "when did I lose touch with that thought of keeping it simple" and enter into the crazy zone of way too much stuff!!! Still very happy and content doing what I love and loving what I'm doing! Enjoyed your video Lindsey!
Love it Lindsay, I guess I have been with you for quite awhile as I know the story about the yellow foam squares,your storage for your wood mounted blocks and yes I do remember the noisy furnace. Have loved every story that you have shared Lindsay and felt very lucky when you included the rest of your family in your tutorials. We all have had a glimpse of what a wonderful person you are and what a lovely family you have.
I do like the binder storage. Makes a lot of sense.
I saw a video you did a while ago and you mentioned your stamps being in binders. When I saw my collection began growing, I switched to this system. I even store my background stamps the same way. And you're right, you can store so much more this way. I LOVE your house mouse collection!!!
Love seeing all your stamps, thanks Lindsay.
I noticed that Etch-a-Sketch stamp right away! How fun is that!!! 😀
I knew what was in your binders and have seen your wall of wood stamps and yet......I still love seeing it all over again! But what made me truly laugh out loud and what I had to share with my hubby (cause he asked what was so funny!) was when you said and I quote " it starts with that one xmas stamp" end quote, just because we think we can save so much money on xmas cards! Oh Lindsay, that is so priceless and so, so true! While I certainly don't have ten thousand stamps like you do...LOL...I do have more than most I think and love them all and I have yet to save money on making my own cards! Thanks so much for sharing and making me laugh today!
As solution for your stamps with dies...put the stamps in your binder with a note that it has a matching die or die cut it and place one of the die cuts in with the stamp so you’ll see it as a reminder every time you get that stamp out. Love your wood stamp collection! Love your hair by the way!
Good morning Lindsay, After watching your room organizing video when you showed us your binders and decorated them a while back, I decided to do the same. I'm up to 8 large binders and about another 10 mini binders for stamps with dies. I have oragized them after your idea of topics as well. It's working great & even though I've thought about changing to J.M's bin way it doesn't make sence since it's all so organized all ready THANKS TO YOU!
Love your ideas & videos. Please keep them coming!👍❤🌺
I love your videos! Funny to see we have so meny stamps in common. As you showed your stamps I kept saying "I have that one and that one and that one.....
Even though I answered a few of those people in the comments and told them what video to watch for the explanation, i still find myself watching this video. I use a different system but I just really enjoy you and your videos!
Your delivery is priceless and you are an inspiration
Thank you!
Aha...I have all my stamps catalogued in a notebook so I can look through to see which stamp I wanted and then go find the set. That way I can truthfully say that I have used all my stamps at least once. LOL
You mean the stamped image is in the notebook, not the actual stamp I think. That's a good idea then you see what it looks like. I'm trying to learn watercolor, and spend a lot of time drawing. Sometimes I just want to do the painting part. Thinking I lean more towards landscapes and nature stuff. So it would be nice to have a few stamps that I can put waterproof ink on and just paint those images. Flowers, bugs, fruit, and trees to make a forest
Love all of your ideas! So efficient. Am envious of all of your wooden stamps.
Enjoy watching these videos you do on how u store things and seeing your supplies TFS x
You have given me some alternative ways of storing my collection (stash?) of stamps. I think you and I have a similar style for organizing craft supplies. I know that we have similar taste in stamps. I recognized numerous stamps that I also own and quite a number of them I would happily have too! Thanks for the tour and ideas.
I have just a small bit of stamps. I only buy Halloween themed stamps to make Halloween cards & to decorate my planner. I also have a tiny spot to put my craft supplies so space is nonexistent. I love seeing how you store your stamps. I could watch a video of you just thumbing through all your binders. You have an amazing amount of stamps. 💜
Lindsay, I swear that when you were panning I saw that etch a sketch stamp immediately. I love that stamp. I have a large stamp that is a Kodak slide stamp. I just love it. I would love to find an etch a sketch stamp. I love your method of stamp storage. I love these shelves as well, but if I had more than one shelf I would fill it up for sure!! I agree there are worse hobbies to have. Thanks for sharing all of your ideas and stamps!!
I also use the binder method, and I store my dies in them too on magnetic sheets, I love this way to keep them organized .
... That etch-a-sketch though 😍
My collection started with a hand-me-down box from a co-worker. My collection is not as big as yours but it outgrew that box a long time ago!
So glad you shared your wood stamps. They're my obsession & I love them better than my clear ones. (👍😁💕for the Etch-a-Sketch). Wish I had shelves to store them on but don't have room. Right now everything's in labeled shoe boxes, so at least I can locate stamps. Thanks for all your shares.
My husband built me a wood holder for all my stamps but honestly I got tired of digging and trying to find one. So the other day I decided to photocopy all of my stamps (I tired stamping but it was a hot mess) give them numbers and then I can just flip through pages of paper and find that number that goes with the number I put on the stamp package or sheet protector it is in! I hope it works!
Thank you for sharing Lindsay, it sure is a great way to store your stamps as it makes it easier to find what you are looking for. I have mine currently in alphabetical order as I don’t have too many yet but I know eventually I will have to change it. The way you have them set up sure makes more sense with the amount of stamps you have and I think that is the way I will set them up once mine get to the point where the alphabetical order won’t work anymore. My suggestion for anyone just starting out is to adopt a filing system straight off the bat to make life easier from word get go.
What a cool idea for storage.
Great video Lindsay, thank you! I’ve never taken my wood mounts off my stamps either and I remember you once saying that you consider them little works of art in and of themselves and I love that. Also, I love how you drilled a hole in the handle of your ATG so you can hang it up. Brilliant! Off to do that now!❤️
Your collection of stamps is gorgeous
I really love stamps also just need to use them more often!
Wow, I can't imagine anyone having a bigger supply of wooden stamps than you!! Love them!! TFS your working area!
Rachel Phelps I will travel from Tennessee to Maine if Lindsay decides to have a VIP yard sale. 😊 Actually I'd just travel to Maine for the beauty of it all and a "lob-stah".
@@brumak9620 Haha!! Yeah, I know what you mean!! Just stop in KY, pick me up, and I'll go with you!! "Lob-stah" sounds darn good!!
I just love your "new" look!
I agree! Somewhere between Gillian Anderson and Celeste Holm in High Society ....
Hey Lindsay! I started making cards almost 18yrs ago. And like you, and most other crafty peeps, the collection grew without really "noticing" it. Then i stepped back during the pattern paper "fade out" and returned during the distress oxide boom! And that's when I found you... I've made almost all the diy shimmers, sprays, pastes, etc...and CONTINUOUSLY go back to watch the glycerin video for more ideas and info! I did see you had shown how to store cling stamps in binders... I just took it a bit further... Lol. I use 12x12 & 8x10 scrapbooks and buy extenders too:D! I can get (12) 4x6 cling stamp sets in 1 page! Currently, i have (8) 12x12 books, all with extenders. And (6) 4in/ 3 ring binders, to use pocket pages that have 2 5x7 pockets. I found your advice super helpful in managing my collection. I love making custom card creations that offer my clients a VERY personal touch...so having lots of scene building options, people, characters, careers, and animals were "needed" to customize each card. Thanks for teaching all of ways to save and when it's time to spend, if we REALLY want/need it!
Thank you, Lindsay! I use the same system that you use but I need to add more binders. Thank you for sharing! Love your stamp collection!
I’m so impressed and envious by you’re wood stamp wall! I think I own about five wood stamps I bought in Santa Barbara, CA, the shop was called “Stampabarbara” lol... I’m just getting into more junk journal books and water color painting but I use to do more of buying small little wicker baskets and wreaths and glued on little silk flowers, I did make flower baskets for my wedding for my two little cousins who were my flower girls, and made about 150 chocolate wedding theme lollipops and packaged and mauve and white ribbons to tie the cellophane, it was so much work since I did it all myself! But it was all worth it..that was 27 years ago lol... but I love making things with my hands, after I went through having breast cancer two years ago (it was caught in the early stages, so all is good now), I had no motivation to want to do anything, just a year ago, I started back up and it makes me so happy to create pretty things. I have several plastic bins my hubby and pretty fabric baskets bought for me, he’s so helpful... we have a guest bedroom, it’s turning into a catch all with my craft bins and baskets, my husband said he’ll reorganize the closet in that room to fit all my things... I just said, or we can just move to a bigger house! Our house is 1500 sq. ft.... I just need more cabinet space, my husband doesn’t need his home office! Lol 😉
Awesome! I had my stamps in drawers and boxes and realized that I wasn’t able to see what I had and so about a week or 2 before I saw your video I also decided that it would be great to be able to flip through a binder (3) and see them, so I pretty much did it like you did but I was in such a hurry that I didn’t organize them by category!!🙃 My bad!! Oh well, a project for another day!! Great ideas!💕
Ohhhhh you have an Etch a Sketch stamp???!!! how cool. LOL you just touched it and talked about it. So very cool to have an art store in your home. I don't have that many at all, but most of my stuff is in storage or stolen
This was fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Wow love your stamps. I have mine in binders and wouldn't store them any other way 😊
I have my wood backgrounds and a few others on a shelf so I can see them 😊 love the idea of the maps on the spines. 💜
Love seeing all your stuff!
Talking about that first Christmas stamp to "save money": I went virtual shopping on the supplies some people use for cards, the trendy this, the specialty or nichey that. If buying the supplies and tools the first time for one little batch of cards, it was sometimes $200-300+. Considering we can get cute cards at Half Priced Books or whatever for hardly anything, economics is not why we pursue these hobbies. But sadly, many people undervalue the end products. Oh well, the people who watch your channel understand the cost and value.
Hey, I kept waiting to see how you store your peg stamps. Enjoyed the video and thanks for the ideas!
I forgot to film that as I keep them in a wooden crate under my craft island as they are too heavy and bulky to keep elswhere, I don't want to lug the cray to my table to work so I keep it under it.
@@thefrugalcrafter I understand. Thanks for your reply.
Love watching you "answer" the Curious!!! It always entails you wandering thru your stash which is always a wonderful adventure. Thanks for sharing.
I have a lot of those stamps! I love my crate stamps also!
I love, love, love this video! I audibly gasped when I saw your wooden stamp wall! I also have a massive stamp collection and I have both wooden and acrylic, as well as those weird stamps that are neither. I am temporally unmounting the wooden ones, but I am doing it in a way that I will be able to put them back on later if I want to. But for me personally, I just don't have the space to have a large wall display, so I need mine to be more compact. But if I someday have a craft room, LOOK OUT WORLD! I will have an entire wall of stamps. 🙂 Thank you for this video! Your way of organizing pleases my Virgo brain. ❤️
Thank you for giving us all these great ideas! It is good to get new ideas!
I picked up on your comment regarding Jennifer McGuire using fridge bins. I didn't know anything about that but last year I put all my Stampin Up Stamps and RST peg stamps in clear fridge bins (picked up at Job Lots on sale) and have labeled them by categories. I do keep the peg stamps in the box, easier for me but they do take up a lot of room. I put acrylics inside Inque Boutique stamp storage cases which have 3 holes on the sides and store them in Project Life 12 x 12 albums. Red Rubber stamps are in Totally Tiffany pages inside TT Binder. I don't have as many wood stamps but I put those in Recollection 1.5 in tall 12 x 12 project cases which are labeled. Those are in the same bookcase as the binders. Now that I've organized them, I find I use the stamps more often! I Love your videos!
Thank you Lindsay, your the best. Take care and God bless. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
I have so many stamps and different ways I'm organizing them! I also have quite a few of stamps waiting to be organized. I use the fridge bins method, binder, photo box, plastic flat container, Totally Tiffany double sided stamp storage box in clear bag style, too many to use one method. I feel like if I tried to reorganize them in one method I would never have time to craft! I also keep dies one way, dies with matching stamps another, some by manufacturer, some by theme, but love them all!
I love the wood mounted stamps as well, but they were taking up my whole crafting area. Most of them I unmounted so they didn't take up so much room. But I do have quite a few sentiment stamps that I left on the wood. Like you said, they are so easy to grab and use!
I didnt think anyone had more stamps than I! Haha! I love your organization methods. I too organize by theme so I can find what I want. I also have a bunch of Stampin Up stamps that I dont break up. They are a bit more problematic. Anyway. It was cool to see what you do. I love your wood stamp shelving!
I think you should come out with your own line of stamps/ stencils!!
She does!! Check Rubber Stamp Tapestry - aka Peg Stamps! Has about 6 sets with trees and cacti.
@@sallytaylor2857 i have those! I am speaking of her own line.
I've been with you long enough that I know what's in those binders but I really enjoyed the closer look at your wood stamps. I have a few and though I love foam mounted red rubber, my wood stamps are my favorite because I can pick them up and look at them - I can be inspired without flipping through binders.
Cassie's Creations I am a huge fan of the wooden stamps. 99%of the time I get the best images from them. #oldschool
@@brumak9620 True but I must say the foam mounted red rubber stamps by Stampers Anonymous are exceptional, as well plus they can be used in a stamping platform since they have a low profile. I don't mind giving an extra couple of dollars for their superior quality. However, they just don't have the same "feel" that the wood stamps have. Besides, my very first stamps were wood stamps so I suffer from a bit of nostalgic fever.
Cassie's Creations it's like the difference between listening to a book or having the feel of a real book in your hand. I get it. I like to turn the pages, put the bookmark in the book to view my progress. I know there are similar features with audio books, but it's not the same.
@@brumak9620 Yes, exactly.
Brilliant idea Lindsey 😍
I’m not a happy secretary I’m an artist
The binder storage is great , I’ve not tried it with rubber stamps as I don’t have much but the ones I do are wood too , I love your wooden stamp shelf 😍😍😍
Such a super inspiring video 👍😍🌸
Great ideas! My stamps are stored in plastic shoe boxes by designer/company. Love to watch your excitement for art and crafting. Would you ever consider doing a video about your art journey from amatuer to professional? I'd love to see you talk about that process and it would help me in my journey as well. Thanks so much for all the sharing you do.
Love your stamp collection and you have so many markers iam so jealous lol they are lovely I dont have half as many xxx
Love all of your organization ideas Lindsay. 💯❤️💯❤️💯❤️. Hugz
Thanks so much for sharing!!
Thank you Lindsay......my collections are all about Art and Craft supplies....its my hobby....and my therapy❤
Love your tutorials and how you arrange your many crafting items. You are so inspirational to those of us who are artistically inspired, I love how you organize by what works for you, Thank you...
I was wondering if those were stamps in those binders as well. I too store my stamps that way and I have never seen anyone else do it that way - so glad to see someone else doing it that way! :)
I love your storage DYI,very,very helpful. I saw how you have fabrics and yarns stored , the pink bookcase with soft bins. This would be great for my space. I don’t have a lot of footage (6’ X8’)but I do have high ceilings 10’. This is a perfect opportunity for me to categorize my yarns! Thanks Lindsay 🥰🥰
Thank u Lindsay
Another fun video Lindsay! I’m at one bin of unmounted stamps and about one bin of wooden stamps and a small bin for my peg stamps (which I love!) but my collection is about to out grow the buns and I’m definitely considering binders. I would love to see a flip through of you vintage storybook stamps.
Wow! I love rubber stamps, but vintage ones are hard to find, at least where I live in Canada. I would love to have a “ Lindsay” wall of rubber stamps.
Wow... Your craft room is the paradise I dream of. All that stuff, everywhere! OMG, SOOOOOO MANY THINGS TO DO SO MANY THINGS WITH!!!! 😍
Your craft room is...wow
I may try the binder idea for unmounted stamps. Right now I have them stuffed into a fabric drawer. Very unorganized. I use a DVD storage unit sitting on top of an old desk for my beloved wood mounts because I love them. Likewise, I organize pretty much by idea like "holidays", "floral", "faces", etc. I go to that place first but I'm using more unmounted now. I just love your channel. My whole space is all repurposed and I look to your ideas for motivation!
I am right now in the process of organizing my stamps😄 i am switching out all my stamps similar to the way Jen MaGuire sorts in packets. Then I will sort them by theme. I do keep all my SU ones by set. And I have unmounted most of my wood stamps with Tac it over and over glue. I don't use fridge bins. I found bins at the dollar store that will fit the shelf i have. (And much cheaper). Plus I hardly ever get rid of stamps. I have been stamping since the early 80's. I still have all my house mouse stamps when they were made by StampaRosa😍
Thanks so much for this video chat! I have organized my unmounted stamps in a system similar to Jennifer McGuire's -- each one in a plastic sleeve and placed in bins. But something about that system wasn't working for me. When I heard that you organize your stamps by subject I realized that was what was missing! My stamps are still in plastic sleeves and held in bins, which I like, and works for how many stamps I have. But now they are organized by subject. Already it's easier to browse thru them and find what I have. Like you I have my wood mounted stamps in shelves on the wall -- so much easier to use them when I can see them!
~Marilee
Oh, to be organized like this!! Appreciate your ideas and system.
OM Jesus!!! You have an amazing stamp collection💞 I'm just a straight paper crafter, not much of painting or woodwork or other hobbies. I always feel guilty about buying new stamps or paper collections. But, now I'm thinking I shouldn't feel guilty, right!?😉
I have just started. I just got my first kit from Annie's and had to by scissor's, glue, and ink. Every thing I have is in a box, for now. At least things are all together. As I continue, I will start to organize. At the moment, I is envious of your collection, but I know that that takes time.
I love to watch how you storage your supplies 😊
So many gorgeous rubber stamps 💕
As a fairly new stamper that collection scares me to death. :)
I started card making because my husband and I started a small business with a focus on personal service. One way we back that up is to send individual homemade thank you and Christmas cards. It gives me and my eight year old son an outlet for our art hobby as well. I try really hard to add small amounts of good quality art supplies to our collection only when they are on sale. I hate the thought of collecting things and not using them. I see so many craft room tours where all the stamp pads and paint bottles are pristine and full and I wonder if they actually craft or if they just like to buy stuff. I'm an extremely tidy person but as neat as I try to be I still get stains on everything. I love that your space and supplies look used and well loved and not just collected.
I mean no disrespect to collectors, it's just not something I want for myself. Most card making videos are done by people selling products and it's a constant battle to try and learn new skills while fighting the urge to aquire new stuff. But like you said there are much worse vises we could have. :)
My cats would steal all the woodblock stamps!!! I store mine, unmounted, in bins I made from the cat litter jugs.
Love seeing this! I never understood the unmounting craze. Why unmount when you have to remount to use it? Your storage wall serves as decor as well as storage, at least to my eye. Thanks for the tip about origami boxes. I hesitate to use my tiny letters because the boxes frustrate me so. Your craft space is my all-time favorite. It's pretty, practical, and intentional. Every method accommodates shrinkage and growth. Perfect. Tfs. ~ Lisa
I noticed a couple of similarities between us. 1) Once a stamp enters our collection, it takes an act of God for it to leave, lol. 2) While showing your stamps, I kept saying, "Oh I have that one." "I have that one too." Over and over. (I even have the Etch a Sketch stamp). Lol
In the past, I saw how you stored your rubber stamps & did the same thing. It adds inspiration to me when stamping & I use what I have! Regarding the small wood alphabet stamps, could you do a video on how to use them? I tried to rubber band them but they shifted etc. Love all your videos & ideas.
I, too, would like a video on how to use the alphabet stamps. They are a problem for me as well. I have a difficulty using them and more so keeping them in line. Thanks!
I usually do one by one but if I need to stamp the same word over and over I use washi (or painters) tape to hold them together. I'll try and remember to use them the next time I make a card.
@@thefrugalcrafter Thank you
Hey Lindsay....although I knew ahead of time that those binders had your rubber stamps in them, and I've seen that gorgeous wall of woodmounted stamps, I just figured out from watching this video that my stamp storage system, is most definitely not working for me. I have mine stored by brand name and I bet you I don't use 70 percent of my collection. I craft purely for the joy of it so having it stored by category makes so much more sense. Man, I've got a ton of work to do LOL! Appreciate this Lindsay!
you will be glad when it's done tho:)
I love house mouse stamps
I would LOVE a tour of your stamps like when you did the tour of your watercolor palettes. 💖
I put my stamps in binders as well! I love it that way!
Wow!
I'm looking forward to organizing what I have - seems it fits in a large bin now Your notebook idea is practical and frugal :) I'm drooling over those wooden stamps and shelf - gorgeous !!!
I have the obsession too!! LOL
It is awesome!
I thought you were asking what is in those binders, in watercolours...hee hee...although I don't like stamping...have just a few, I appreciated your tour, and your amazing organizational tutorial...
Just wanted to chime in and say from one lady to another that you are very beautiful! Your videos are always informative and interesting, too!
