[…] to take a long time to find what I was looking for so I took a hint from my new stamp storage and updated stamp inventory and have switched them over to magnetic pockets, as well as having created a new die inventory […]
WOW…thanks for the heads up on Evernote. I’ve been cataloging my stamps in a binder, just like you, by manufacturer. I’m loving your site and storage solutions. TFS!
I love the ability to have all my info in my iPhone. Kat I want to thank you for all the hours you spent on this project–Bless You! Question can you print out a list of stamps from Evernote? Another question. I tried to view your inventory list of cuttlebug folders but can only see a blank template with nothing on it, what do you think I am doing
wrong?
This is so awesome! Thanks!
Looks like a great system…but it would literally take me the rest of my life to do this…was a demonstrator for stampin up for 10 years and prob 5 for close to my heart…not to mention all of the stamps that were individually purchased…and then all of the clear…I wanted to insure them and stopped counting @ 25000 individual images…of course I have sets that have 10-20 stamps, but regardless it came to a screeching halt until I can figure out a solution…
I felt like that when I started to but if you want to streamline everything and make it easy to find what you want when you want it, you just have to buckle down and commit to doing a stamp set a day. Even if it takes a year, you will be glad you did it. Don’t look at it as overwhelming, think of it as an “ongoing” project. 🙂 Even libraries keep track of all their books, this is basically the same thing 🙂
I have an app on my android called notebooks that I have been logging everything in. I like this method because you can also add the pictures of the stamps. I am going to give it a try.
Thanks.
evernote is free and it works on your computer and your phone. It syncs your changes on both! You should give it a try!
I also use Evernote to attach photos of examples I see using the stamp set or die cut. Then when I go to use it, I already have inspiration.
great idea!
kat – bless your heart. thanks for taking your time to post this information for those of us who are tech challenged. Guess this is the next project after wood removal. Have I mentioned lately “Your Rock”!
Thanks, very helpful
You have just simplified my life! Your instructions are so easy to follow. I am in process of getting all my stamps and dies organized into Evernote. Not as difficult as I thought! Thank you!!!!!
I have been trying to enter my stamps in Evernote, but not sure I was doing it right. Thanks for the tutorial.
Wow! Thanks for sharing this. I am currently trying to do just this. Your video will help me immensely.
Thank you for making the video – it explains everything really simply. I think this method is going to work for me. I have a couple of questions if you don’t mind. I have drawers that I can keep most of my stamps in, but they are not big enough for some Stampin’ Up sets. I wondered how you use the numbering system if you cannot store the next number along stamp set with the previous number…meaning if stamp set 50 is in the drawer but then set 51 has to be kept somewhere else.
Did you sort your stamps first before starting to file them in Evernote? If so how do you continue when you get new stamps.
Thank you – Julie
Kat,….Thanks for sharing. Do you know if you can import into Evernote from Excel. I have a large collection that I have finally finished. Everything is in excel and then I printed and put into a binder. I have about 500 stamp sets in cd or dvd cases, which I thought was a bunch. I am trying to figure out how to store them in my scrapbook room that will ensure that are easy to see, access and use. Any suggestions or tips are appreciated.
I don’t know if you can do that but evernote’s support is fantastic so if you visit them at evernote.com I’m sure they can help you. I am updating my databases so often that I wouldnt’ want to print them because they are ever changing 🙂 buying and selling stamps and dies ya know?
