Good Morning!! I love love love your channel. You are so creative. That is a great idea to store stamps.
Thank you so much Ruth!!
Great idea Natasa! We have a store here called DAISO. They sell these large clear containers similar to the DVD holder you show but are flat. No indention. I love using them because the inside is sick and the stamps will “cling” to the inside. Holds many stamps too!
Oh yes, that's awesome! Those would be perfect :)
Hi, Natasa. I keep my stamps in a folder too. I actually have three folders. I also painted the names of the stamp sets on the front of the binder/folder. I like being able to flip through and see them. Mine are categorized mainly by age, old to new. Thanks for sharing this and especially how you clean your stamps. I do your method most of the time too. I love your channel, your voice and your fabulous creativity. I also think you are one of the best at describing how you create. You are a great teacher.
Oh wow, thank you so much Marilyn :)
Marilyn B. You described Natasa perfectly....I concur 🙂
Natasha I have them all over my floor🌸my stamps and dies are taking over my house. But thank you for showing me how to keep them neatly. I love stamping and well I just don’t clean the house that much. Stamping and sending cards is so much better than cleaning! 😂 I love your crafts you are my favorite crafter on you tube!
Hahah Kari, that is so true :)
I had to move to a ring binder. I do like this system. I use a baby wipe to clean my stamps but if I’m using a lot of stamps, I use a styrofoam tray with a wet paper towel on it and just let my stamps sit on that til I’m done.
Hi Natasa. Awesome and timely video because I've been trialling different ways to store my own stamps. I started using a mini expanding file but I had too many stamps and it was too bulky so just at the weekend, I went to BigW and paid $7 for a bundle of three white rectangle baskets. The basket is slightly wider and shorter than the stamp packet. I keep my stamps in their original packets, and store them upright in one basket. That way, I can just flick through them and pull out the pack I want. Because the basket is shorter, you can easily see the stamp sets as you fan through them. Having said that, I have trimmed some of the surplus card stock so they are all neatly the same height. I use the other two matching baskets - one for my die cuts, and the other for my embossing folders. I had also contemplated pulling the individual stamps off their backing and grouping them in categories like you Natasa but for now, I think the system I'm using suits my purpose. This of course might change, as my craft stash grows. I do like watching craft organisation videos as it gives me ideas on how to maximise my storage space. So keep them coming.
That's so cool and also a very effective way of storing stamps. Love it :)
Fabulous I don't have Many Stamps but this is a great way to store them, thank you for your BRILLIANT IDEA.
Good morning Natasha, this came right on time. I had just the other day bought stamps and was thinking of a way to store them. So today I will use your tip! Thanks! 🌼
Thank you so much 😊 Glad it was helpful
Great idea!!! I just thrifted a photo album and can slip my stamps into the photo sleeves--perfect!! I had no idea what to do with them or my stamps; now they will be joined together! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great idea! I will certainly take your ideas onboard. Thank you! ❤
Love this idea!! I’m going to put another piece of paper on the back of your label page and stamp all of the stamps of the corresponding page on it! That way I can see exactly how they look since I’m just starting my collection 🥰 thank you for the inspiration! I’m new here and have been binging your channel 😁🌸🧚🏼♂️
Great idea!! I love it! Thank you for binging hehe, so glad to have you :)
This is a brilliant idea. After watching I made one, out of page protectors (5.5 x 8.5") which I had on hand. It was waaaay too thick to fit the small binder I have, so I "researched" and found a way to make a cover incorporating binder rings. It is a chunky monkey and I love it! Thank you for your wonderful videos. You are an excellent teacher.
Thank you so much Judy!! I'm glad you have come up with a solution :)
Tha ks for telling me that I don't need to wash the stamps. I was washing them every time I used them, and also thought I eeced to buy an acrylic holder fkr the stamp. This saved me ti e & money.
I used the notebook system and it works so well. Thank you
Great idea Natasa! I think I will try this for my stamps, and maybe for my stencils and stickers as well! I have spent all day working on a junk mail envelope journal from one of your other videos and I’m really enjoying the process. Thank you for all your inspiration!
That's a great idea. I have a similar system for storing stickers and stencils too :)
This is a great idea. Thank you for sharing. I did the notebook method right after watching this. My life just got easier. :)
I love it! Thanks so much :)
I have done the same years ago with my stamps, dies,etc ..we travel so mine are in Zip 3 ring binders, it's so easy to grab and go..easy to find what I need and put away..
Great idea! So compact and organized.
I have on hand for my knitting patterns 3-ring binder loose-leaf sleeves that hold standard 8.5 x 11" pages. and plan to use them to modify your stamp storage idea.
That's a great idea! Have fun organizing :)
Genius idea!!! I have been looking to get the CD cases cuz I liked it till I seen this! I shared and saved this for my move. TFS❣️🌻💚
Awesome! Thank you!
Good Morning Natasa! Thanks for the suggestions! Have a nice day! 😊❤🌻
Thank you so much Gretchen. I hope you have a lovely day too!!
Baby wipes are good for cleaning your stamps. I love your channel and thank you for sharing.
Yes! Thank you!
Judy Martin I don’t use baby wipes because 1-they are very wasteful, 2-cost adds up especially if you stamp a lot. With Natasa’s method, she is stamping onto scrap sheets...I’ve even used the scraps for other projects.....waste not want not 🙂
Fabulous idea. Great space saver. TFS I did. God bless and stay safe.
Thank you so much Evelyn 😊
very cool idea! I have only a few stamps and thought about how to store more if I buy more, what I definitely want to; I think I would like to use an A5 Folder with a spine, file folder (google translator tells me, it is named), but yours is very good looking, too, and maybe I would use some sticking out tabs with names (flowers, words and so on) so that I don't have to flip through all of my stamps every time I search for one :)
I love the idea of storing stamps this way as it would be nice to flip through but I have way more than you have. Your video has me thinking if I should work on reorganizing. Again!! Hmmm!
Multiple folders perhaps? I know, it is a bit of a problem when you have a lot of stamps :)
Great idea! Thank you for sharing it. 🤗❤️
Thanks for watching!
Yey! I just got clear stamps! Thank you😊
You’re welcome 😊 Thanks for watching
Hi Natasa. I use the same system and it works for me well. I also use use this system for my metal cutting dyes having purchased magnetic A4 sheets to place into the sleeves of a display folder also. Fits so well on the book shelf and is a great space saver. Thank you for sharing. I very much love watching your tutorials.Blessings
I purchased my die cutting machine second hand, and it came with all sorts of different things, including a random magnetic sheet, and I never knew what it's for. Now I do! Thanks :)
Treasure Books I bought a large storage unit that has swinging doors and I bought stick-on magnetic sheets that I stuck to the back of the doors. All of my dies hang there on the doors and I can see all of them at a glance! Love your storage ideas! TYFS!
I love that idea 💡..I usually wash my stamps because I use different colors, like yellows and orange, and than when I use black or brown, I can’t use a different color.😻
Do what works for you, of course. But stamping it off on paper also gets all the ink off :) Thanks for watching 1
Thank you so much that’s really really helpful and useful too. I have a very large folder 📁 that I’m going utilise for my stamps, so it’s a similar idea 💡 to yours. Stay safe and well too xxx Mags
I’m so glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching 😊
Thank you for sharing this what a great idea I'm doing it.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the helpful tip!
Great idea, thank you!
Love that idea thanks
Great advice! Thank you!
Thank you so much 😊 Thanks for watching
Great idea much easier than storing in a file, I think I will adopt this way of storing was I have a lot just stuck in drawers.x
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)
great method - I wish I could make that folder somehow - ty for sharing 🤗
Thank you so much! I'm sure the folder could be DIY-ed (that's probably not a word) but it would involve some sewing I imagine :)
Thank you so much! I use a book also, but they kept sliding out of the pockets. Now I can fix that issue. Brilliant!
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching :)
I have a similar setup. I got a bunch of mim photo albums a good will. I put my stamps in them and the stored them all in a shoebox. It’s not exactly what I wanted but they are all together except for my stampin up stamps and the are all in a book case along with the shoebox.
What a great idea thank you for sharing
Thank you K D! Glad you like it 😊
I use a large 2 ring binder (UK) and special tabbed pages that are made for sticking stamps onto. I sorted out all my stamps so that I only keep the ones I will use and made a separate index binder that I stamped each stamp into so I can see what it looked like. Very occasionally a stamp falls out so I stick it back in with a glue stick.
Great idea to use a glue stick when needed. That never crossed my mind. Thank you :)
Hey Natasha, great tips . I have my stamps stored in a three ring binder the stamps are in clear zipper cases and then in the binder. I'm gonna have to look for those plastic sheets because that would be much more effective. Thanks again! I hope you have a super fantastic day 💜💜💜✌️✌️ Sherry
That's also a great and effective way to store stamps :)
I love this idea. Now it seems I have some stamp re organizing.
Thank you Sharon 😊 Have fun!
Lovely idea Natasa. I have tons of stamps jumbled up in a drawer. Thank you so so much for this helpful idea ❤️
Glad it was helpful! Thank you Marti :)
Mine are too!! I have all my stamps jumbled into a plastic tote or bin under my craft table and I have to pull out the small bin and dig like crazy to find one little stamp! So annoying! LOL
Great idea 🥰
Thank you! Cheers!
I store my stamps in cd envolopes, I like your idea though, and I’ll try it!
Thank you for sharing. Hugs sweetheart ❤️
Thank you Belinda. Hugs to you too 😊
I have been making pockets for my stamps with my laminator but that’s still a work in progress and I’m trying to store them according to subject but it’s not very satisfactory as they are all different sizes. Your system works because you don’t have that many to store but I have a lot more than that being a card maker. I might give this a go and see if it works as space is really important. Thanks for sharing this.
Great idea using a laminator. Yes, I don't have that many stamps, but if I do keep getting more I will start a new folder. Thank you for watching and commenting :)
Excellent idea. You have more room now for more treasures on your shelf :D
Yes!!! Who doesn’t need more room in their craft room? Hehe
Excellent! Tfs
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi Natasa ❤️
I'm glad you're keeping in touch with us.
Thanks for the storage tip. Cool idea. I have the old fashioned rubber stamps with the wood block. I collected them from Goodwill. That was more economical for me. I store them in a box. Sorry, not very imaginative. :)
Yes those rubber stamps are much larger and this system would ofcourse never work. I too have some of those, and store them in a box. That's as imaginative as that can get haha
Man I wish I had a thrift store around me where they had craft stuff! I used to live in Washington State and they had Goodwill's and Value Village and I was spoiled with all the crafting supplies I could buy for super cheap! But now I live in a very small town outside of Dallas Texas and not a thrift store anywhere!!! Sighhhhh..... LOL
@@UandMeGod OH, you poor thing! I only shop at thrift stores, so don't know what I would do. Actually, I do. I would have a lot less STUFF! 😊 And by the way, just love your UandMeGod! Wonderful!
Great idea, Nasasa! Most of the clear stamps I own I inherited and many of them are set up in big binders in a similar fashion. I do have a ton of stamps I’m not particularly interested in, so I need to switch the stamps I do use out with the stamps I should get rid of.
Thanks for another smart tutorial and the reminder of house cleaning I need to do 😆😊💕
When I was sorting my stamps, there were a few I let go of. There are only so many stamps one loves and uses. I had lots of stamps just floating around, not filed in the DVD cases, which prompted me to undertake this project :)
I feel your struggle Tuesday Moriarty!!! I REALLY need to go through my craft room and downsize my crafty stuff that I am not using! But it's so hard to get rid of it because I am for some strange reason attached to all my scrapbook paper pads, ephemera, stamps, metal dies, embossing folders, ect... you get the idea! Haha!! Half the stuff I don't even use.... But one day I might!! LOL
@@UandMeGod The struggle is real. I finally started throwing envelopes my bills came in out. It finally dawned on me that I'm going to get the same exact envelopes the following month! The same for cereal/cracker boxes. I did a major cleaning yesterday, even though I still have so much more to do. I have to tell you that just getting rid of what I did makes me feel so much better. Lighter even. lol
That’s a good idea... thank you very much, kisses
Glad you like it!
Great organization!! I use 3 ring binder pencil zipper pouches.💕🐬
I love it!!! In fact, I was searching for those pencil zipper pouches myself, but I had no luck, so I now use this system :) Thanks for watching :)
@@TreasureBooks ❤
Great idea
Thank you! 😊
I store my stamps the same way. I use a binder. I have had to get bigger and bigger binders. Lol. Blessings and Hugs 🤗
Hehe our collections just keep on growing 😊
Merci beaucoup, pour vos conseils judicieux.. Bisous ❤️. Yo
Thank you so much :) I'm glad you like the system xoxo
I use something similar... but it's sheet protectors in a 4-ring binder so the acetate sheets don't bend. Also, I have a page in front with each stamp stamped on it so I can really easily see which stamp is which. But I do the same as you with grouping similar stamps.
Great idea Jennifer. I also tried something similar a while ago (stamping on a sheet) but I had a different system back then and it didn't work. It would work beautifully for this system for sure :)
That's great! How do you store your dies please?
Did you make your book that holds the stamp sleeves? I’m in the process of “rehabbing” my stamps collection and your book with sleeves looked very interesting and low profile. I want to SEE, USE, and PUT AWAY stamps without chaos. It could be a photo album that holds 5 X 7 photos. I’m intrigued!
I used the same folder for storing my stencils and for my stamps I found old photo albums which are slightly deeper. I also stamp off to "clean" the stamps! Great minds think alike lol. xx
Indeed, haha, thank you Michelle :)
i would think that after a while the 'new' system would damage your stamps as well because of how they get smashed when you close the book. i store mine in plastic photo boxes. each box is labeled for what is in it and each stamp 'set' or sim stamps are on acetate sheets inside the box. i can usually get four or five sheets in each box, sometimes more w the less expensive thinner clear stamps. also, block stamps fit well inside these photo boxes as well. all the boxes are then stored in a large container on the shelf.
each box is labeled clearly as to what is in it so everything is easy to find.
I like your system. I kept in mind the fact that if there are too many stamps in that folder they could get damaged, which is why I will not be adding any more stamps to this folder. I have another two waiting should the need arise. :) Thanks for watching :)
How do the acetate sheets fit into the photo box? I’m assuming they are the 4x6 size boxes?
I think a binder would work better: their hard cover would protect the stamps better from outside pressure, you can add/remove the plastic pocket inside depending on how many stamps you have/buy, you can also move them around (your favorites on top) or replace easily the plastic pockets when they tear down from use. you can have tabs with the type of stamps sticking out so easier to read and access directly the section you did without having to turn the "pages" one by one, all while keeping the advantages of you new system. What's my thought but I'm currently storing them ultra-squeezed in a box and have yet to find the motivation to change that system, so... :D
Thank you! Yes, you are probably right, but I'm all about using what I have hehe, and I had those 3 folders so went with them. I know, it is a bit of a large project and does take time. Good luck!!
I just discovered your channel and am a new subscriber. You are very creative and I love that you recycle. In this time of waste, it is inspirational how you really reuse items. Thanks for the constant inspiration with your creative work and for the reminder to be kinder to our earth.
Thank you so much 😊 Welcome to my channel, I'm so glad to have you. I am an avid recycler and always have been. I hope that we can all be a little kinder to our Earth. I am teaching my children and it makes me so proud to see how they are becoming so much more mindful, and even reminding their friends to not waste, to re use and most importantly, to not throw rubbish around!!
Treasure Books THANK YOU FOR THIS!! Recycling is so important! Environment is my top issue. Now I have another reason to like you ❤️
I also use a book like that but an A4 size. It works well 😍
Oh cool!
I would need 6 of those books. Lol. I go to the thrift store and cannot leave a stamp behind. How do you pick and choose which stamps to keep? And what do you do with the ones you don’t think you will use?
My stamps came off wood blocks but won’t stick to a card for reference. Is there a glue I can use
LOVE THIS IDEA!!! I am totally going to do this! Mine are all crammed into a plastic container under my craft table and I have to pull out the bin and dig through the darn box to find often times one little stamp! LOL Not anymore!!! I am totally doing this ASAP! Thank you!!
I was the same. That's what prompted me to start organizing :)
Hello - I'm thinking of copying the binder method for clear stamp storage. Thanks for walking us through it! How many set of stamps can you fit in one binder? Is it really saving space? I probably have at least 30 different sets!
I fit soooo many stamps in there, and its so much easier to use and see all the stamps. I love this system :)
@@TreasureBooks awesome, thanks!!!
Google is your best friend 😊
The album gets torn after some time while putting in stamps and taking out....I did put tapes around and also I always make my acetate edges round but album doesn’t last long
Great idea! Especially, since CD cases I get in US are the square small ones and we’re never big enough for storage! Does any one out there have a source for the binders?
3-ring binder loose-leaf sleeves that hold standard 8.5 x 11" pages. I have these on hand for my knitting patterns and plan to use them to modify Natasa's stamp storage idea.
Barbara Wright thanks! I was really hoping for something soft and flexible so it’s easy to carry around.also in the smaller size. STIICKI Club makes a great storage book for their stickers which come each month in their own clear pockets. I ordered one of the books separately and since it was a “factory second” it was really affordable. However, their pockets are expensive. So, now I’m thinking if only I can find the plastic protector pages elsewhere that fit their binder, I’ll be all set. It did look like Natasha’s cover and pages were all-in-one without being a ring binder and I’ve never seen anything like that locally. Nor have I been able to successfully search on-line for it using any of the descriptores I’v3 managed to come up with...☹️
@@longdaysjournal
here in Aus we call these folders - Display books - the are on Amazon. There are 2 types one's with refills and the one being used in the video. Hope this helps also you can google our office supply store to get more of a description of the product. It is www.officeworks.com.au then search Display book
I made a mistake calling them CD cases, they are actually DVD cases and larger than the CD cases. :) The type of folder that I use can be found in any office supply store :)
Thanks Kerry, I had no idea they were called Display books, thanks for that :)
Good morning .... how do you keep the stamps from sliding around ... mine don’t stick well to the acetate although I have cleaned / washed them.
Hmmm mine dont slide around and they stick quite well. I wonder if it’s because I DON’T wash them 🤔
Treasure Books 😂😂🤣👍👍👍
🥰🥰👍👍
What kind of album are you using, Photo ?
No it's not a photo album, it's a Display Folder. Available at any office supply store :)
Would you provide link to where these folders could be purchased? Thank you!
I mentioned in the video that I found them at a thrift store, but you can get them at any office supply type store, or Kmart type stores.
How does the stamps cling to the storage surface
It sticks just fine :)
My system? Do I have one? LOL Currently they are in zip lock bags. 😆😁😃
Was that a CD case?
CD case, remember CD’s? But actually, those are DVD cases, I made a mistake calling them CD cases 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Is that just a photo album?
No its not a photo album. Its a plastic pocket type folder, kind of like the larger document ones.
@@TreasureBooks thank you!
A taman sam si sve složila u kutije od Dvd-a... :-)
Haha Danijela, može i to! Pa kad dosadi, promjena 😊
Tabs so you don't have to flip through the pages.. alphabetized
