Inque Boutique Stamp Keepers

Have you heard about the new Inque Boutique Stamp Keepers? They're a revolutionary new product that allows you to store your clear arcylic stamps in a convinient, plastic clam-shell holder.

These keepers come in two sizes - 8.5x11 and 12x12. You can see a video demo by clicking here. I was lucky enough to find 8 of these keepers, and let me tell you, these babies hold A LOT of stamps!! I thought I would share with you my current clear-stamp organizational solution.

First up is a picture of my 2" D-ring binder filled with the 8 stamp keepers I bought. As you can see, all 8 of them fit perfectly into this size binder. Keep in mind, too, that each stamp keepers is also completely full.


Next up is a picture of how I keep track of the stamps inside my binders. I simply stapled the orginal index sheet that came with each stamp set to a piece of white cardstock then slipped the cardstock into heavy duty sheet protectors.

This next picures shows one stamp keeper. As you can see, I decided to put stamps on both sides of my stamp keeper. Some people choose not to do this, but I think you get double the bang for your buck if you use both sides. To keep the stamps from sticking to each other when the stamp keeper closes, I simply cut down a piece of white card stock and inserted it in between the two sides of the keeper. Does that make sense? LOL!

I hope this helps everyone get their clear stamp collection organized! As for those cute $1 Studio G stamps, I still keep them in baseball card holders. It's more practical for me that way, but you can certainly stick them in these keepers!

It looks great, Sam! I am really going to have to get myself some of these keepers. My acrylic stamps are slowly overtaking the 12 x 12 x 2.5 drawer that they are currently in. I'm glad to see that stamps fit on both sides. More bang for your buck! :)
