Cottage Lane Stamper

 Not being organized makes me go in a tizzy!  I like to be able to put my hands on a stamp set when I'm creating a card.  Looking for a sentiment can or an image can take anxious moments. so I like to make it as easy as possible and it all starts with the arrival of new stamps, dies, punches and DSP. Here's a quick video on how I start with organizing my stamp sets, dies and punches using my photocopier, my Brother label maker and velcro dots from the dollar store.  Up until recently I have used Evernote to organize my stamp  & die images, stamp sentiments and DSP by patterns and colors.  I have to change my ways.  Evernote used to be free for up to two devices.  They are now charging $149 a year.  I can't afford that.  But I did notice the other day that Pinterest is now allowing tags, visible to the account owner.  I'm going to try to use that going forward.   I normally add my cards to Pinterest, and save card ideas...

Today I wanted to share with you how I organize my stamp sets and dies. I know there are many ways to do this, I like to be as organized as possible so that things are easy for me to find.  I've put together a short video on how I do and why I do what I do.  I hope you enjoy it!   I also make reference to using the left over pieces from the Cling stamp label sheets and how to convert my "Clear" mount (red rubber with the previous version prior to 2019) to make them stick better.
