{Organizing} Paper Scraps 6x6 or Smaller

Simple, simple, simple...



After getting all my stamps organized I was left with ALL these Close to My Heart plastic stamp envelopes...well scrap paper 6x6 or smaller fits right inside!

Now I let go of alot of my scraps that were smaller then 3x3 and they are being donated to my sons school. The little ones do lots of arts and crafts with them in 4K & 3K. I also let go of alot of the solid colored scraps and kept all the pretty patterned or textured pieces.

Now these are ready to store with my card making items and are even super convenient to take to a crop! YAY for less time packing and more creating time!

{Organizing} Stamp Storage



I've searched what seems like a million Google page searches for stamp storage and the endless pins on Pinterest and finally found a system that works for me.

Started by collecting all my stamps, ALL of them! Clear cling stamps, rubber un-mounted stamps, rubber mounted stamps & sorted them by themes (everyone might have diff themes of course). Now I will say this if a stamp set had butterflies and then sentiments like Thank You or Congrats I DID seprate them into the diff themed areas BUT say I had a stamp with candy images and then a You're so Sweet sentiment I left together. To each their own do what your brain says makes sense!

Here are my themes:
  • ALPHABETS/NUMBERS (journaling too)
  • BEACH (shells, anything water related)
  • FLORAL/BUTTERFLIES (flowers, bugs etc)
  • SENTIMENTS (thank yous, congrats, get well etc)
  • BIRTHDAY (cupcakes, cake, presents, birthday sentiments)
  • OBJECTS (kind of misc items like stamps of chairs, houses etc)
