Tip Tuesday with a Guest Desinger!

 Today we have a special Guest Visitor! Jen from Jen's craft corner is going to be sharing a quick tip with us!

Hello! I am so happy to be part of the Creative Cutter Room's Tip Tuesday. Today, I have a quick and helpful tip to help you organize your stamps.  

I love stamps! I love to shop for stamps, I love to use stamps on whatever I can, when I can! These are all my small stamp sets. I buy the "Studio G" stamps and the "Studio 112" stamps at Michaels. I love that they only cost between fifty cents and a dollar.

I had these stamps all stacked in a drawer. When I am working on a project, I have to go through all my stamps to find either a sentiment or a picture stamp. It takes up time and wasn't very organized. I needed a better system.

I had some empty CD cases from a while back. I took out the black centers that hold the CD in place, so that they were empty. 

I took out all the stamps and tried to lay them in piles of sentiments, Spring, Halloween, Christmas, etc. It took me a few minutes to decide how I wanted the stamps organized, but I finally found a system I thought would work for me. 

Then, I started putting the stamps in the cases. Some stamps will stick to the top of the case, while others stick to the back (it depends on whether it is a cling stamp or a clear stamp). When you close the CD case, the stamps will fit perfectly. Then, I ran into a small glich. Some of the stamps you can't quite see what they say or make out the picture, unless you look very closely. I wanted to be able to grab it quickly and be able to use it. So, I decided to cut up the clear cling page the stamps come on and adhere that to the CD case. Perfect! 

I have one case just for sentiments, one case for Christmas, once case for Halloween, a case for Fall/ Thanksgiving and one case for Spring/Summer. 

Hope you enjoyed my tip! 

Thank you Jen! This was a great tip for organizing stamps!
