How-To Video: Clear Stamp Storage
Hi!
I get a lot of questions about how I store my clear stamps. So I finally did a video!
Actually, I didn't do a video. Kay did. My 13-year old step-daughter (who rocks big time) created it. Yesterday morning, she attended a free and incredibly awesome Camp at the Apple Store on creating iMovies. She came home all excited and wanted to create a video for me. She is the best, I tell you. The best.
So... she taped it. And edited it. And added the text. And exported it. She did it all. And didn't she do great!? And here it is...

Great job on the video, Kay! Wow, that's a lot of stamps! With that many you really have to have a good system for keeping them all organized. Thanks for sharing your great tips with us!

Great stuff - thank you Kay! Can't wait until the weekend when I can start organizing my stamps!

Great job Kay! Loved the insert about the whiney boy - totally understand and remember that phase. Brings back memories of my sweet boy when he was that age.
Love your storage solution. I don't have nearly so many clear stamps, but as I collect them, will take your advice on products to purchase to keep them organized.
Enjoy CHA.

Thanks for sharing your organization technique! It's always interesting to see how others store their supplies. Wonderful job on the video, Kay. Seems like that camp was totally worth it!

Dear Kay -
You are very lucky to have such a wonderful step-mom...as you can tell, lots of us out here think she is great. And, Kay, she is enormously blessed to have you in her life. You are very talented, enthusiastic and kind to help her as much as you do. Your video is really well done...nice job on working together - it seems as if you really enjoy each other. Jayne
Posted by: Jayne Love | July 17, 2008 at 02:52 AM
Wow! Kay did an amazing job! Very impressive! She is inspiring me to give the iMovie a try myself. Can't wait 'til I can send my little boy to learn all the newer technology and give his old Mom a hand! Thanks for the organization tip!
Posted by: christina | July 17, 2008 at 02:56 AM
Gosh, Kay did a super job---I especially loved her comments! And showing the packaging for the CD holders was a great idea. Thanks Kay!!
Posted by: Karen L. Greenfield | July 17, 2008 at 04:21 AM
Thanks for that video - very informative and professional (great job Kay!). I have only recently started getting the unmounted clear stamps - it's good to have some advice on storage so I can get it right from the start. Thanks very much! Have a great time at CHA - sounds like it's going to be lots of fun.
Posted by: Becs Attwood | July 17, 2008 at 04:22 AM
HI Jennifer and Kay - great job on the video Kay! I love the way the stamps are so organized and easy to see, will have to try and find some of those supplies so I can organize my own stash that way. Thanks to both of you for this super helpful video!!
Posted by: Patty | July 17, 2008 at 04:31 AM
Cool, Jennifer!! Kay did a great job and I'm so impressed! (with your organization and her skillz!) Hope you are well! jw

This is really good stuff!
Posted by: Charlotte | July 17, 2008 at 04:40 AM
Nice work Miss Kay! I wish I could do videos like that. We have a Mac, but other than checking email and reading blogs I cant really do anything else! Have a great rest of the summer!
Posted by: Miriam Molloy | July 17, 2008 at 05:42 AM
her video is much much better than mine....so jealous! Fantastic video and love the way you store your stamsp
Posted by: kimmie | July 17, 2008 at 06:09 AM
what a fantastic job on the video! and a great storage system! I love it, and I love how easy it would be to find all those protectors/binders in regular stores, inexpensive!
Posted by: Bridget =) | July 17, 2008 at 06:30 AM
Excellent craftsmanship on the video and very good ideas on how to store those stamps.
Posted by: stampersuzz | July 17, 2008 at 06:34 AM
Great video. Kay, you rock !!!!
Posted by: Avital | July 17, 2008 at 06:41 AM
Kay - YOU ROCK!!!! What a great video and what a great way to store the stamps!!!! I will be visiting Office Depot this weekend. Thanks for yet another enabling session!!! Have fun at CHA - I cannot wait to see the new "flakey" stamps from HA!!
Posted by: Tina in Springboro | July 17, 2008 at 06:59 AM
Kay, awesome job on the video!!!!
I store some of my clear stamps in a similiar way. I keep all the $1 stamps in baseball protector sheets. They're the perfect size for them, but I ran into problems with the larger sets so they're just thrown in a box. I'm going to have to remember to check out the CD storage holders when I'm out buying school supplies soon. tfs!
Posted by: wendyp | July 17, 2008 at 07:07 AM
Jennifer you are so lucky to have Kay as your assistant. What a great job, so helpful to have the letters on the screen(excuse the whiny boy...how funny!) Only a sister would have picked up on that. Kay,thanks for putting pic's of the DVD sleeves on the screen,that makes it so easy when I get to the store. It is very refreshing to see such a close relationship with mom and teen girl you are very blessed. Enjoy it.
Thanks for sharing all your info and have fun at CHA.
Posted by: Beth R. | July 17, 2008 at 07:52 AM
Kay you did a great job... Thanks so much!!!
I was putting mine on the clip it up, but that was not working for me.. To many stamps and you really couldn't tell what you had. Jennifer thanks so much for all the great ideas and inspiration.. Have fun at the show.
Posted by: Moniqua | July 17, 2008 at 07:52 AM
Kay, fantastic job on the video! I can see you are as electronic savy as your Mum... Jennifer, thanks for the video. It was very helpful. I was also thinking about using my sewing machine to make the dividers down a regular pocket protector. Have you tried that yet?
Thanks!!!!
Posted by: Melissa | July 17, 2008 at 08:15 AM
Fabulous video Kay! I'm thinking I need a trip to Office Depot!
Posted by: Kathy H | July 17, 2008 at 08:19 AM
Oh my gosh, I have never seen so many stamps in my whole life. You have more than most retail stores. I am a little jealous. I love your system. I just put my stamps in cd cases, the hard plastic type. I wish I had kept the original packaging like you did. I will from now on.
The video quality was simply amazing!!! I loved how steady the camera was, the text was perfect and I got a laugh with the "Ignore whiny boy". Too funny. Great job on the video!
Thanks for the information and have a groovy time at CHA.

Kay, you did an AWESOME job, girl! Love the video! I also love your organization method, Jennifer! VERY cool! Thanks for sharing it and thanks again Kay for taking the time to do that for us!! Hugs to you both!! :-D Have fun at CHA, Jennifer!
Posted by: kristina | July 17, 2008 at 08:28 AM
Wow that's a lot of stamps! I think I have enough to fill maybe 2 or 3 page protectors.
Great job Kay, my 15 year-old niece just taught me how to make a video the other day, too. It's fun, isn't it?
Posted by: Cassie | July 17, 2008 at 08:30 AM
Really excellent job on the video. Thank you so much for adding the pictures of the CD holders so I know exactly what to look for. Ok, Kay are you going to do some more awesome videos so we can learn even more stuff. That would be fantastic.
Thanks
