My Unmounted Stamp System

I finally got through enough of my stamps to take pictures and share with you all how I store my unmounted stamps.

I got these GREAT containers from Walmart for $2.88 they are 12qt sterilite. Before I was using photo boxes but found some containers that I can close rather than the photo boxes that stay open with the size of boards I'm using.

The storage boards that I'm mounting my stamps on are from Sunday International http://www.sundayint.com/. The boards are 5 1/2 x 7 inches. They don't carry the boards yet of that size on the site but, you can email Gary Barbee at info@sundayint.com and he can get that size for you. They are 50 cents each. The stamp sets that I have fit PERFECT with enough room for the whole set and not having to split them up like I was before in CD cases.

I'm sorting all of my stamps by company. I have lots of stamp sets from The Angel Co., Stampin Up and Pink Cat Studio. All of those 3 will have their own containers. Then the individual stamps I'll put into their own. I'm making labels for each board with the number it is in the container along with the name of the stamp set.

I'm also making a binder and indexing with the same label and stamping the sets on a sheet of paper and that goes into a clear sheet protector and into the binder. This is how I will know what I have from each company and all my stamps will be in ONE spot instead of unmounted here and blocks there. I forget what I have and this binder will be so much easier to look through and find what I need rather then a pile of stamps. I still have a long ways to go but a little at a time I will get there. I'm so determined to be done with them. It's gonna be an awesome system so far I love it!

If you have any questions feel free to ask away! And make sure you tell Gary I sent ya to him :o) He's a VERY cool guy! Thanks so much!
