Prepare yourself for another post in our Organized Mayhem series...
Do you have your clear stamps just laying around and it feels really messy and out of control? Like you open a drawer and suddenly it's full stamp avalanche? Same. Been there. 0/10 experience. Wouldn't recommend.
Well — I have an amazing storage hack that I need to tell you about!
I knew this is how my sister stores her clear stamps, but she told me she stole the idea from her friend...so I guess technically we're double stealing this idea.
First, grab your stamp and pull it out of the packaging if it's still living in there.
Flip it over so it's upside down, then add clear glue dots to the top and bottom of the plastic backing.
My sister just uses one glue dot right in the center...but I don't like that because the stamps turn, twist, rotate — basically doing gymnastics when you try to move the page. They're not stable. Which is why I prefer using two glue dots instead. Much more secure. Much less chaos.
Then turn it back over and place it wherever your heart desires on a piece of cardstock.
Underneath the stamp, write with a ultra fine Sharpie the brand name and the name of the stamp if it has one. (The Pebbles brand doesn't name their individual stamps, but American Crafts does — along with a lot of other brands, which you can see in the photos below.)
Then carefully slide the cardstock into a page protector. Watch the bottoms of the stamps though — those like to get caught while you're sliding the page in, and it can be a little annoying.
It's really easy, really simple, and you can arrange the stamps anywhere you want — categorize by brand, theme, holiday, vibes...however your organized little hear desires.
Let me know if you have any easy storage hacks! I'm always ready to steal — I mean...borrow — more organizing ideas!
