It took me forever yo find but I finally found that beautiful jar and camera stamp thank you so much for sharing there going in their new clear DVD case as soon as they arrived . Keep the videos coming .I love them and I am learning a lot .😄
Cara thank you ever so much. My stamps does need big time help atm. Its crazy and difficult to get some organization on them. You have helped me and i know many others also by showing this. Thank you so much. Now i am going to hold my breath and hope to .. that they ship to Norway. Thx! Lineca
Thank you for an excellent video I am new to crafting and stamps and just purchased my first sets of acrylic stamps ad was looking for a way to store them this has help me a lot and I just ordered my cases thank you . For sharing your ideas and links . I look forward to watching all of your videos 🙂.
Holy Moly Cara! Look at all those PTI Stamps! I cant wait to buy my first ones!! Love the organization! I'm an organization/labeling freak myself! LOL. TFS! ~Monica
Thanks for the link. I've been looking for these cases, which I found some. The thing is they sell it in packs, the more you buy the cheaper they are. But I sure don't need 200 I need more like 50. This is so awesome how you can buy exactly what you need. I looked up their address and if I'm not mistaken they ship from Texas and I'm in Texas. For 50 shipping is $13+ not bad at all. I can't wait to buy some of these. THANKS for the video!
Thank you!! With the PTI stamp cases being out of stock or no longer sold I don't even have the desire to use my new stamps. Question, can't I purchase index labels and relabel the DVD cases instead of making charts?
Thank you so very much. I have some large stamps that can fit in those cases. Never heard of this place. But will be trying them out. Thanks for sharing :)
Great job! I have done this as well. I unmounted all of my Stampin Up wood stamps! However. I created a catalog by theme. So All of my sentiment stamps are stamped on the catalog page labelled sentiments. Next to each stamp, I added the stamp case number so I could locate them easily and use them. Hope it made sense.
Where did you get the images for your charts and how did you get them so clear?? Did you copy the images directly from the PTI site or did you stamp them or did you scan the index sheets?? I am looking to re-organize my stamps by type - yes it's going to be a HUGE undertaking but I think I will use my stamps more if I did this. So I was going to be using this system to re-org them.
I am currently "testing" using CD cases I already had to see if I like this type of storage. Currently my stamps are in binders, but the binders take a ton of space on my desk and they are so heavy. The one thing I noticed about the CD cases is that they crack very easily. While just opening one, it cracked. Are these DVD cases more durable/sturdy than CD cases? Thanks! Jennifer
Great video! Would like to ask advice- I'm new to stamping, NOT experienced with the tools or products available to crafters & am only just recently getting into planners. I have MANY clear CD cases (just compressed a HUGE music collection by bagging them all, would like to put some of these cases to good use before dumping the excess, and think they'd be great for stamp storage as your DVD cases are, just on a smaller scale. My problem- I have MANY tiny icon-sized stamps and would like to sort them out from their sets and group them into specific collections (chores, cooking, errands, seasons, gardening....etc.etc.etc.) TO DO THIS I WILL HAVE TO CUT UP THE ART SHEETS or so I imagine. I would like to put my newly regrouped & organized stamp sets into cd cases, two sets per case (on each side, as you did). I'd LIKE to see the plastic [cut up plastic?] art images from the outside, and have the stamps adhering to the art work. 1) Is there a way to make the artwork fronts sticky to adhere to the cd case front and back from the inside, without compromising the image? and, 2) Will I need to put some plastic dividing sheet in between the back and front layers of stamps to keep them from adhering to each other, AND make the images more clearly view-able from both sides? I'm thinking a white plastic would do it, but can you buy acetate? Does it come in white? Or would I have to laminate white sheets and cut them up? (sounds $$$ and I'm on a TIGHT budget- the less this costs and the more I can recycle, the better!) I'm afraid BOTH sides of stamps will adhere to this divider sheet, unless I put 2 of them in... Does this sound feasible to you? Any suggestions? (I'm trying to go over this and other possibilities in my head, but don't have enough stamping experience or craft product knowledge to come up with a good solution...) Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, G.F.
(1) Most CDs have little brackets to hold the covers in place...maybe you could use those to hold the artwork in place. I also have a suggestion for you. Instead of cutting up the plastic, why not stamp them out, with on paper or directly on the cover of the case...I think Stazon ink would work for that but check the label. (2) I didn't put anything between mind and occasionally they stick together. Not much and it didn't bother me. It will largely depend on how think your stamps are. There are other options out there to consider...my biggest suggestion is...search TH-cam and watch a lot of videos. Hope this helps!
Do you keep the clear plastic that comes with the stamp. And glue to dad case. That way the stamps stay on original package that came in when you bought it. Or you stick the stamps on the actual DVD case. Will that ruin the stamps and take off glue off stamps thanks. What cleaning stuff do you use on your stamps. Thanks.
+divabarrie08 I don't keep the plastic because I can get more in the dvd case without it. So far, after doing this for a few years, my stamps are still in great condition. I use mainly alcohol free baby wipes but have used actual stamp cleaner...various brands. When the stamps get particularly dirty or don't stick well to the block I use a little dish soap and some water. Hope that helps!
Where did you find the print out sheets that you used for your notebook inventory? You have a picture of all the stamps in a particular case so where did you find those pictures. Thank you
I'm so sorry I didn't see this sooner. I actually found them online...either from the seller or I Googled the image then copied and pasted them into a document.
You have been using this system for a while now - do you still use it, are you still happy with it. One more question, please - how are you 'pasting' for the images of the stamps. Thank you - Julie
I do still use this for my clear stamps. In fact, I just got more dvd cases. As for the "pasting" I spoke of…I am not doing that. I am actually creating an inventory by stamping out all of my stamp sets which is, as you can image, a rather large task. I plan to do a video on it when I am a little further down the road with the project. TFW!
Love your vide. How did you print out such professional document with Word showing the stamp sets? You said you copied and pasted, but what did you copy from? It doesn't look like the package picture. Thanks!
If I remember correctly, I copied the images either from the images on the site...I think I clicked on them to enlarge them...or I googled the imaged and copied that. Hope that helps a bit!
I'm sorry but I get my stamps from a variety of companies many of which I mention in my videos. I have no idea which companies ship to Norway. I would suggest you do some searching on Google for companies that will ship to your location. Sorry I can't be of more help. Thanks for watching!
If you're looking for cases like these try searching for clear dvd cases no hub or no tray :) are these safe to use with the stamps? I've heard of some cases reacting with the stamps and ruining them o_o
How would you do a "crossed index" ? I don't really know how to say this in english since I'm french but, for instance, if you want to a specific stuff, let's say a dove, how would you do a system in which it would be possible to find it without going through all your charts ? Don't know if you see what I mean... ??
Yes,my mom asked me to ask U where U got that Dear lizzy jar stamp from? Could U get another one/she pay U for it? If not can U just stamp her a few of that set an send them to her on paper plz.? TIA for everything including sharing UR video with us.
***** Thanks so much for watching! Unfortunately, I got that stamp a long time ago and have no idea where anymore. I would suggest you google Dear Lizzy jar stamp and see if you get any results. Sorry I can't be of more help. There are also other companies that have similar stamps...they may come up when you do a google search.
Was going to order 10 @ .88 each, however, after shipping was added, order came to almost $19.00 and I'm on the mainland, lol. Great idea though, so will look locally for the cases. Thank you very much.
....maybe I don't need the plastic art...simply sticking the stickers to front and back with image side showing out? Wonder if they will need dividing plastic sheet....?
I put my stamps in one of those cases and there was some kind of chemical reaction between them, the case is now all blurry. So I transfered my stamps to a plastic bag.
Aloha, Cara, I too have to pay ridiculous shipping costs living on Kauai. Sometimes it comes to way more than my actual order!! I then dump my cart, and look for another source that doesn't rip us "not on the mainland" off! Great Video!
I actually do know because I have reduced my stamp collection but I originally did it to save room because depending on the size of the stamp set I can store2 to 5 sets in one case. It was a storage/room issue for me.
This system is so nice!! I think this system will definitely make me smile when I see it when I walk into the room! Thanks!!
Cara awesome idea. Your sooooooo organized it's amazing. They do have great customer service for replacing the broken ones. I love your videos!!!
It took me forever yo find but I finally found that beautiful jar and camera stamp thank you so much for sharing there going in their new clear DVD case as soon as they arrived . Keep the videos coming .I love them and I am learning a lot .😄

Did this and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the outcome!!!! Thank you SO much for sharing this idea!!!!
Oh yeah!! I am so glad…I still store my clear stamps this way…love it!
Love this!! I just found you and I also am crazy for organization. I will be watching. Thank you for sharing!!

where were you able to find these cases?
I feel like I'm constantly organizing my craft room. I love the DVD case idea.
I do the same thing! :)
Thanks for including link for those plastic rubber stamp die cases!
You are welcome!
OMG...love this idea gonna try to find those cases! TFS...
The store I use is in the link and still carries them…I need to order more myself. TFW!
Thank you!! With the PTI stamp cases being out of stock or no longer sold I don't even have the desire to use my new stamps. Question, can't I purchase index labels and relabel the DVD cases instead of making charts?
Does these cases have the center part inside (hub) that you have to take out? All of the one I've seen have it. Thanks for sharing! Lena
Brilliant! I'm going to try something like this . How do you store your wood stamps?
Thank you so very much. I have some large stamps that can fit in those cases. Never heard of this place. But will be trying them out. Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for sharing this, I just placed my order. I see that the inserts are sold separatedly. Lena

Where did you get the charts to use for saving ... or did you just copy the chart that came with the stamp?
Great video!

Your dvd case seems a lot taller than the typical. Is that right?

Thank you Cara for your prompt post. I look forward to seeing the new video. I think this is the route I will take. Julie

I love this idea
these DVD cases are no longer available on that site do you have any idea where are you can get them?
I'm sorry I don't.
Very organized!
I have heard that after a while they are VERY hard to remove...have you had that problem?
+hitechsuzy No, I haven't had that issue but I would guess that it may happen with some of the more cheaply made clear stamps.
Yes,my mom asked me to ask U where U got that Dear lizzy jar stamp from? Could U get another one/she pay U for it? If not can U just stamp her a few of that set an send them to her on paper plz.? TIA for everything including sharing UR video with us.

Sherry Williams Bumgardner I am the same way but every once in a while I contact the company for help. Sometimes you get lucky!
Great idea, the cd cases aren't working for me either.
best idea ever ta
I really enjoyed UR video & I'd like to know if U could get me a jar stamp like the one U have/I'll pay U for it as well as the S/H costs. TIA/GBU.
I have no idea if the stamp is available any longer. I would suggest you do a Google search for one. Sorry I can be of more help. Thanks for watching!
lol papertreyink n ctmh are my faves
Why don't you leave them in the packet
I actually do know because I have reduced my stamp collection but I originally did it to save room because depending on the size of the stamp set I can store2 to 5 sets in one case. It was a storage/room issue for me.
Can you come to my house & organize me room?
Sure thing! Any time! lol
