Tuesday's Tip at Ten- How to Organize and Store Your Stamps

 

How do you store and organize your stamp sets? I have a method, it isn't the only way to do it, but it works for me. 

Here is how I store and organize my Stamps. 

Current

For my current stamp sets (ones that are in the catalog) and I have two locations for them. One is on my desk shelf and they are alphabetically. Those stamps are usually ones that are in the annual catalog and have carried on. Stamp that are current and are from the Mini Catalog have a spot in an Ikea container on my craft room floor, write by my stamping desk. I want those ones close to me, so I remember to use them. Once I've made at least one thing with them, they can find their way to the Annual Catalog shelf.  

Retired

My retired Stamps, are a work in progress. What I do currently is place a piece of yellow washi tape on the spine so that I know instantly that they are not current. Right now I have 5 shelves full of retired sets and are organize by category (Birthday, Thank You, Animals, etc). However, my Spring Break goal is to organize them and separate them into "keep" and "sale". 

Sale

My plan is to go through all my retired sets, make up a list, and create the keep and sale. Keep can go back onto my shelf for retired only sets. Sale will go into a clear tote. I got 3 totes yesterday and I hope to sort them as Birthday, Thank, and Holiday. I will take photos of the finished product and share! 

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!

Miss Monday- Irresistible Blooms Stamp & Share Crew

 

Miss Monday with the Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set! 

This was an Online Only Release that came out on March 1st. It is part of a bundle with coordinating DSP, but both the dies and paper sold out soo fast, that is you didn't order it within the first 5 days you missed out. It has a projected date to come back but until then, I hope you enjoy this card made with just the stamp set (which is still available). 

I was able to create some nice layers that made a simple card better. 

I used my Stampin' Blends to color in the flower and used a soon to be retiring In Color...

Fresh Freesia (gone by May 1st). 

I hope you LOVE this card and want to make it too! Be sure to visit my online store to get all of the supplies you'll need!
