Fill Your Binder with {Clear Stamps}

So, did you finish your stamp binder?  I hope you did.  What size binder did you use?  I know a lot of people use an 8 1/2 x 11 inch binder.  I think my smaller one will work for me for now, and I am glad I could use a binder that was just sitting around.  Here is my binder in case you missed it from my last post:

Today I want to show you how I have organized my clear stamps.  First, I know a lot of people laminate a piece of cardstock and just stick their stamps to that page; however, I really wanted to keep the nice sleeves that the Memory Box stamps come in.  They also have the nice black outline of the stamps making it so easy to see against a piece of white cardstock.  This option is also cheaper because you don't have to pay for laminate!  Anyway, I took the clear packaging the stamps come in, and I stuck several glue dots to the back of the plastic.  You can see that here:

Then I cut a bunch of 6x6 white cardstock and stuck each set to a single piece of the cardstock.  After attaching to the cardstock, I wrote the name of the set on the white cardstock, and slipped the set into the page protector.  Here is what it looks like:
 
 
I then store them in alphabetical order by set name.  This is working great for me.  I hope it helps you organize those new Memory Box clear sets!  Enjoy, and see you next time!

Love the binder. I have one (very cool one from Tim Holtz's line) but have struggled with how to keep the stamps organized inside. Love the idea of alphabetizing and the cardstock and glue dots. Simple! And it will be a quick fix for me to get organized. Love it!!! I hope you'll share this over at CPCMag. Blessings!

Patter: what a great idea, I took your idea and have used a photo alblum with sleeves and need to decorate the outside and then glue dot my stamps to the cardstock, I just wanted to see if they fit and they do. I do not have alot of stamps but love this for the clear ones I do have, i do not have any memory maker stamps yet.....

Great idea Patter! Question how do you store your non memory box clear stamps? Say, ones that dont come with black indexing or smaller sets? Would love to know!!! You always have exceptional ideas!
