Stamp Indexing
Monday, February 25, 2008
I know, sounds boring. I spent Saturday night labeling and indexing all my stamp sets. First, I used my label maker to label the sides of all my stamp sets along with the # of stamps inside. Stampin Up! stamp sets come with labels, but they are hard to read in dark places like my cabinet. These white labels with large black print work perfectly. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0ay7ZsR9J6AB97UzlcMUaaYulnmvxxUzm1RhV9rJHuQBip2Tv_OtpnLkOoYxJNaMzFzOYXBY5TX_6ft8FgDaVN-DSTbXlXvsxEm-HX8_zKgsmE5aIH58L93zaIHAK1CDSWF09k5xAkzg/s320/Blog-+Stamp+Indexing.jpg)
Since I've been stamping and scrapping on a daily basis, I've realized that I waste a lot of time looking for the right stamp, not remembering what I have and if it's the right size. I decided that it would be nice to see all my stamps at a glance without pulling them all out one at a time. I labeled a 4x6 index card with the stamp set title, and then stamped each image of the set on the card in basic black. That way I can sort through a stack of index cards instead of stamp sets. Once I find the stamp I want, I can easily locate it in my neatly labeled cabinet. I am planning on buying a cheap album to put all the cards in so I will be less likely to lose one. In the future, I will simply make a copy of the sticker sheet before adhering them to the wooden blocks. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0ay7ZsR9J6AB97UzlcMUaaYulnmvxxUzm1RhV9rJHuQBip2Tv_OtpnLkOoYxJNaMzFzOYXBY5TX_6ft8FgDaVN-DSTbXlXvsxEm-HX8_zKgsmE5aIH58L93zaIHAK1CDSWF09k5xAkzg/s320/Blog-+Stamp+Indexing.jpg)

I have taken a peak at todays Technique Lover's Challenge on Splitcoast and I can't wait to play. I'll be back later today to post what I've made. Thanks!

I add stickers to the ends of my boxes, also. Those clear stickers are hard to see! Kerilou
