Originally I had stored these stamps in binders and also in a small accordion file. That definitely wasn't really working for me, I couldn't find what I wanted and alot of these stamp sets were forgotten about. So by re-organizing them I hope to use them.
So, the first thing I did was I sorted the stamps by size and type. For my Tim Holtz stamps I kept them on their cards that they came with and then placed them inside some cellophane bags that I had.
After that, I found some large white envelopes that I turned into large pockets for the stamps that I had placed on 8-1/2 x 11 binder cards. I stamped the images of the stamps that they contained on the fronts.
I already had 3 plastic cases for clear stamps that goes in a binder. I stamped the images on a sheet of cardstock and placed it in the front of each case so I could easily see what's in them.
I had purchased some Close To My Heart folders years ago, that I gathered up and placed the rest of the binder cards in, after making sure that all the images were placed on the card so that I could easily see what is there.
After re-situating these stamps, I placed them all into a turquoise colored large bin that fits nicely on my shelf.
As for the smaller sets I found some cellophane bags that were the perfect size for the largest of the small sets so I decided to use those. They'll work perfect as clear pockets. I cut white card stock to fit perfectly inside these cellophane bags. The size was 6 x 8-1/4. After the white card stock was in place I filled each one with a stamp set.
I made indexes for sorting, and then I found this white basket that held the cards perfectly and now that sits on my shelf too.
That was it, all finished!!!
