Stamp Storage
 

How does everyone store their stamps, do you keep them out on display to grab easily, or keep them in the cases?

Soon to be SU Demo!

Mine are currently in cases. However, we have just moved and DH installed enough shelving in my new (& bigger) scrapbook room so I am trying to decide how many and which ones to get on the shelves. I have too many to get them all out, but I am thinking the ones I use most need to be more available.

I have very limited space - our house is small. So I have them in their cases stacked up in wooden crates. The wooden crates are on their sides so the sets are easily accessible ... I want more room!!!!

Welcome to the SU family! You'll LOVE LOVE LOVE it! : )

I keep mine in a big shallow cupboard in our dining room--it is just deep enough for the longest SU cases to fit in, and I have them all stacked according to size, with a shelf for current sets that I can demo, and a shelf for retired sets and the few other companies' single stamps that I have. I've lined the inside of the doors with cork so I have kind of my own little space when the doors are open and I can easily reach things and spread them out on the table. My paper files and scrap tote and stuff like that are in the closet nearby.
I call it the dining room, but let's face it, we eat in the kitchen 95% of the time, so my kids call it the stampy room : )

My wood mounted stamps are in a shallow drawer dresser. My unmounted stamps are in CD cases, in a CD holder from IKEA, on my desk.

All mine are unmounted. I store them in 3 ring binders.

I now have a stamp room since we just moved and I have a book shelf that I keep my current ones on (on their sides in the cases). My retired ones and non-SU ones are in an armoire. Before the move I was in a little closet and I stacked crates to create shelves to store my stamps on. Retired ones on the bottom and current ones on the top. I'm telling you I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE having my own stamp room. I am so thankful to have one. I only need to decorate the room now. (Other rooms first though) Congratulations on becoming a SU demo! I know you'll love it.

I have mine on shelves with the set name facing out to make it easy to see. I also have a notebook with copies of all the stamps/set names to look through and select, so I don't have to be pulling and looking at the actual stamps.

I also have in my notebook samples of all my punches and all my "fancy" scissors (noting the color of handles/blades to make it easier to pull them from the bucket), etc.

It also helps when I go to a demo or shopping so I don't duplicate any prior purchases!

oh, I forgot..

I also have images of all my non-SU stamps in the book. These stamps are in photo sorage boxes according to block size. On the outside of each box, I have a card stock piece taped to indicate the size of stamps inside.

I mount mine on grafix cling and store them in CD cases. I was just running out of room...........
