My clear stamp storage
I was lucky enough a few years back to win a scrap storage area and have it set up in my family room. It has several 12×12, 6×12 and 6×6 sized canvas drawers. I have been trying to sort it out so that most of my usual “go to” supplies are close at hand and only a few steps away from my kitchen bench where I scrap.
My clear stamp drawer was always a mess and I would shuffle through it to find that stamp perfect for the job.
But not any more. I had a stack of black Bazzill so I made up some dividers and added some punched Kraft tabs so that my stamps all now had a place to go.
The hard part was deciding just which way to file them, by type or by manufacturer. In the end as a few of my stamp sets had different types of stamps in them it was easier to go by manufacturer.
Now, no more hunting. And you guessed it - my slowly growing collection of Stampavie stamps. Right in front.
So how do you store your clear stamps?

My clear stamp storage evolved after Making Memories and Tim Holtz brought out their stamp folders – but I wasn’t prepared to pay that kind of money! I went to a stationery shop and purchased clear A4 pocket folders with binder attachments, bought some large D ring binders and stored my stamp sets in each folder. I can flick through them easily, they are all sorted by type (text, journalling, images etc) and best of all, each binder cost me about $6 to set up, and I can add to the collection easily and with minimal cost. It works for me
