Clear Stamp Storage Ideas from Jennifer McGuire
Tags:
Today I invited the amazing Jennifer McGuire to share a bit about her stamp organization. She created an awesome video sharing the system that's been working for her recently.
Crafty storage can be half the fun when it comes to paper crafts so I wanted to share with you my tips for storing clear and cling stamps. Here is a video with a closer look:
The Avery Elle Stamp Pockets are perfectly sized at approximately 7.25"x5.5" which is ideal for most clear and cling stamps. There are 25 pockets in a pack and the price is quite reasonable. You can even get cardstock inserts or can cut your own from scraps. And if you a bit obsessive about organization like me (haha), you can use a Brother Labeler to add the stamp sets name to each pocket.
There are other options for stamp pockets. You can get cd binder sleeves from Office Depot and carefully cut them down the center to create two pockets. I also like this option and the size is comparable. Another option (which is more cost effective) is to get clear 5"x8" baggies and store them in a similar way. These also work for stamp sets that are a bit taller (such as a few from Ali Edwards), but I use the 5"x8" Office Depot clear pockets.
These stamp pockets fit nicely into many shoebox sized storage containers. However, my favorite is called the "Fridge Binz" and is meant to hold soda cans. No soda in my house, but man is it perfect for stamps! This container is super durable and works with lots of other crafty storage.
Stamps featured above include: Amazing Moments, Beautiful (the arrows), and Incredible.

I'm always tempted to get one of the Binz when you talk about your storage system! I should've snagged it when it was ~$16 shipped on Amazon!

These look great. Do you know if you can get them in Australia? And if so where? Thanks for sharing a great idea.

Brilliant idea I use A4 sheets of acetate with cardstock behind and the image stamped onto the cardstock then I know where the stamp "lives". These are housed in a ring binder and categorized as to the image or vendor!! Great idea though love it TFS

Love your system for stamp storage. Now, I would love to see how you store your different dies. How do you label them, if you use magnetic sheets? I have no doors to put them in, and my shelving system goes wall to wall, so I would really appreciate soom input! Help!

I don't own any stamps and I loved that video. Yes, I am obsessive about organization, too. Thank you for sharing :)

Love the uniform look that makes flipping through your stamps much easier than having different sized packages stuffed in a box!

What an awesome idea! I LOVE IT. I just ordered the frig container and I've preordered the sleeves.... brilliant! I'm so glad you made the video because when I first saw the picture I thought the system you were using was for little 3x 5 stamps. So the video put everything in perspective! Thanks.
