Organizing Craft supplies can be overwhelming, but it is important to know what you have. Today I am sharing my tips on organizing rubber stamps. Craft supplies can be difficult to stay organized, so I am sharing my method that works well for me.
As I searched for holiday decorations in my garage the other day, I pulled out a box with some all but forgotten craft supplies, my precious rubber stamps. I have a rubber stamp collection that grew over the years.
Once I opened the box, while I was immediately happy to see these again! Although I had not used them in a while, I knew I wanted to make organizing my rubber stamps collection a priority.

There they were, all piled on top of each other, different sizes, types and themes just mingled together. Not a very efficient way to find them for use.

I was a big collector of rubber stamps and scrapbooking supplies back when the kids were young. I loved getting together with friends and family to create cards, stationery, scrapbook pages and gift wrap. I also became a rubber stamp distributer and instructor back when we lived in Arizona. I loved showing people how to make cards and gifts using the stamps and their creativity.
Now I use them for cards and bullet journaling. it was time to bring these back to life. These stamps brought me so much joy, and I want to start using them again. But I needed some help.
But before I do that, I want to organize my rubber stamps in a way that keeps them stored by stamp type. Then I remembered I had one of those plastic photo storage boxes that I never used. Who else remembers these?

This was going to be perfect and best of all, save me the time that was spent searching for items.
Organizing Rubber Stamps
With any organizing project, the first thing I did was check each stamp to see if it was in good condition. Then, I began by sorting my stamps by category: outdoors, candy, Halloween, etc. and putting them in each box.

Then with the help of this guy, I got busy bringing some order to this mess.

Once each category was accounted for in one of the boxes, I used my hand-held lablemaker to label them for future use and accessibility.
This was actually a fun process. When I was done, this is how my stamps were stored.

Now I can just pull a set or two or more for my crafting sessions. All very easily accessed and labeled. I can just pull out the set that I need.

The box fits nicely in a hall closet taking up very little room. Since I do not have the luxury of a craft room, this is perfect! I will keep hoping for a craft room someday.

What a great way to organize stamps. I like the clear containers and labels to make it easy to find what you're looking for.
Melodie
I have done the same thing with my stamps except I haven’t labeled them yet. My problem is I have four of these boxes full of stamps🤦♀️

I have a ton of old bags that I uses for groceries 20+ years ago. (They have so many cool options now.) I used BIG Zip-Loc bags with a rectangle of corrugated cardboard in each - to lay a single layer of stamps on. I have two Zip-Loc bags in each cloth one...
I always meant to go back and stamp an example on a sheet of paper for each bag, but this works just fine the way it is.
