Storage can be a big issue and I have tried several methods. The one I just changed was using CD Cases, I always got them from Staples, popped out the center piece that holds the disc! Well that was great until I broke one of my 6 foot shelves, and go figure Wal Mart changed up their shelves and I can't replace it. My husband built me little 3 sided steps for the shelves so that I could utilize the whole shelf rather than a bunch of wasted space above.... so NOW I have changed to the Stamping Storage Panels. I had several when I thought I would use the binders, ummm, hated those as I am a shopper while stamping, it required getting the binder down and flipping pages. Not what I wanted. I ran out of the factory made ones so I went and bought a laminating machine. I use Stampin Up Whisper White CS and a 3mil laminating sheet. Perfection.
I decided that the best way to approach corralling my obsession with owning stamps was to purchase these bags from a friend, they are AWESOME. I labeled the windows with my White Gel Pen on Black CS to keep with the feel of the black and white scheme I have going on... forced due to renting! ;) White White White... UGH, anyway... here they are....
I store all of my stamps in these bags and they are alphabetized by company. :) Notice Your Next Stamp has it's own?.... Yes! ANOTHER reason I had to change from CD Cases! ;)
Here is how I place the stamps onto the panels.
I simply pull out the Your Way Rectangle bag and flip through, I have these stamps organized by type. Notice this panel is of people... ;)
Here are the Clear Stamps, a bit of ATG on the flap and stick it down...
This is my next project (I'm shopping for a cheaper alternative) I would like to have at least the sentiments stored in these so that when they fall off, sadly yes a few do repeatedly due to size of base on the cling mount, they stay inside the same grouping.
LOL! Notice my stamp over? Well, I decided that in order to have the 80's and 70's accessories handy they needed to go here....
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this post and I hope this is helpful to you! If you have any questions please feel free to contact me! :)
