My New Stamp Storage can be found here.
Today we will go over how I store my stamps. I store them in three different ways.
1. The majority of my stamps are stored on inserts (storage panels) inside of cd cases like this:
The inserts/storage panels are made by Crafter’s Companion and look like this:
I cut two pieces of cardstock to fit inside the front and back of the cd cases and I adhere the acetate sheet that comes with the stamps to the inside of the front and back of the cd case so that I can clearly see what stamps are in each cd case. If I don’t have the original packaging, I simply stamp the stamps out on that paper.
2. When I have large stamp sets or long borders, etc., that won’t fit in a cd case, I store them in these stamp storage cases from Stampin’ Up.
I adhere the stamps to the inside of the case like this:
Then I cut a piece of paper large enough to fit inside the cover of the case and do the same thing I do for cd cases so that I can see what stamps are in each case.
3. 99% of my rubber stamps are unmounted and I store the majority of them in these stamp storage binders from Crafter’s Companion.
Inside of each binder I put a page protector and a stamp storage panel. It looks like this:
As you can see in the photo above, I stamp out all of the images on a sheet of cardstock and insert it into the page protector. On the opposite page, I place those stamps on the stamp storage panel. Each binder comfortably holds three pages of stamp storage panels filled with stamps on both sides.
I also created a short video showing my stamp storage solutions which you can watch below:

I hope this post helps provide you with some ideas for your own stamp storage needs. If you have any questions, please feel free to either comment on this page or contact me and I’ll be happy to help. Happy Scrapping!

Hi. I’m working on my stamp organization. I was looking for a link to your on-line data storage for your stamps, but couldn’t find it.
Kathleen – I found your blog post about using Evernote for stamp inventory. I should have looked more thoroughly before asking for the link. Thank you.
In your video you indirectly mentioned that the the cd cases can destroy your stamps? I didn’t know this-what happens?
