Stamp Storage Solution

Hello everyone! Instead of a new card I am gonna show you my stamp storage today! I keep all of my stamps in Avery Elle stamp and die storage pockets together with a white sheet of paper. I also label them with a very old brother label maker - works great!

I keep them in cheap IKEA boxes. I think I bought them for 1.5 € or so. Unfortunately they don't offer this size at the moment (at least in Austria). Now their boxes are bigger than that but I hope they will sell it in the future again. (otherwise I have to look for other containers e.g. Interdesign Linus. I don't like different containers for my stamps so I need a storage solution which is available for purchase for a long time in case I ran out of boxes...)

Between the different brands I put a sheet of laminated ivory cardstock which I labelled with the name of the brand.

And now to the inside of the pockets:

In the front I keep my clear stamps. If I have sets which are smaller than a normal stamp set I put two or four sets together (depends on the size of the sets).

However, the interesting things are on the other side of the pocket.

If I have coordinating dies I store them on a magnetic sheet from Ellen Hutson. I also keep the paper from the packaging in order to keep all the masks which I created for this particular stamp set (I could use them again and can save a lot of work by keeping the masks). And for the images which I have already cut and colored I take a clear CD pocket. This is necessary in order to prevent the images from being scratched by the dies or from falling out of the pocket.
