I'm catching up on some previous videos that I hadn't seen yet. So far, I have MANY favorites, including this one! I have changed how I prepare my photopolymer stamp sets and how I arrange them in the case. Thank you for your great tips!
This is a nifty idea. Question: I’m curious as to why you don’t adhere the sheet with the stamps as they come instead of the thinner sheet and then moving the stamps? It seems as if the stamps are already in the configuration needed.
Could you do a segment on how to stamp well with stamps that are really small ie have small words or sayings? I find it difficult to stamp so that they are clear and not overly inked or the opposite…not stamped enough. Thanks!
I just watched your video and liked it very much. I always have my eyes looking for ways to condition and store new stamps. Question, why don't you just attach the sheet your stamps are already on, rather than move them over to the plastic you've found and adhered over the images of the stamps in your set? You would use that nice, heavy plastic you tuck away for further use. But if you dont have to go to all the extra work it 'seems' worth it.
This is a great idea. Thank you. Your videos have so much content that is so helpful. Many channels are demonstrating card designs, but I’ve noticed that you get into, important details which are equally (if not more) helpful, especially to those of us that have not been crafting for years.
I'm brand new to stamping. Video very helpful. I'm wondering, when you said you use VersaMark ink when you first open your stamp package, is their a color to it? Is color important at this step. One other question, when they lay in the packs like this, is the sticky part down, that's the side you put on your block?
I have a rule that helps me get my stamps labeled and ready to go. I am not allowed to use the stamps until I have assembled them! This really works for me.
Thanks for your tips. I hate having to pull out the stamps I want by reading backwards. Whether it's eye strain or brain strain, it gives me a headache. Isn't there any way to store them so I can read them more easily? I know they're readable on the front of the case, but sometimes sentiments are hard to distinguish inside.
Wow, I've always used VersaMark just to help ink "stick" better to new stamps, but I never knew it helps avoid stains. One evening while stamping a dark green ink on photopolymer stamps, I had to urgently leave the house. By the next day, that stamp was stained all the way through! That'll be especially nice for Stazon too??
Oh no! I'm curious- was that a Stampin Up stamp that stained that bad? I've left ink on stamps for a day or two but they've never stained all the way through.
Never attach clear or cling stamps to the case!!! Over time the case will warp, the clingfoam and often clearstamps will have a chemical reaction. I've bought many stamp collections over the past 20 years and I've seen it over and over again. Unfortunately I can't upload pics here but you would freak out when you see the results

That’s the same question that popped into my head.
I don't know! That would be easier but I never thought of it!
Awesome video and tips! 😊
Anna, you are a stamper after my heart…so organized! Love your ideas!
😅🥰 love it - I'm glad this is helpful!
What a great idea! I waste so much time trying to put them back on the sheet trying to remember where they came out. Thanks for the tip!
You are welcome Mary!
Thanks for the Versa Mark tip! Great ideas for storage too!

I'm new to stamping and your technique is great. Now to take the time to set mine up. Thank you for sharing this information. :)
Cool. Be kind to one another. Stay safe. Love to all
If only I had seen this earlier, my stamps are ugly looking. Thanks for the great info.
Thank you so much Anna, yes that was very helpful and useful too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Wow, what a fantastic tip/idea. TYFS. Be blessed. 🕊🤗
You’re a smart cookie my dear! That’s genius!! Thank you for sharing❤

Great tips. Thanks for sharing. Going to give these a try

Brilliant idea!!!!
I always seal my clear stamps but I do four coats of versa mark. Over kill I know, but it makes me feel better and it dies help the stamps stain less.
Wow I love the idea . Thank you for sharing Anna.
Thank you 😊
Very clever, Anna! Thanks so much!💕
What a great idea! Love your craft tips.
Hi Anna you are just a Jewel. Thanks for your organization skills... Blessings, AH🦋
Thank you so much Audrey!
Nice job Anna! I use the thicker plastic (acrylic?) sheet for shaker cards, etc.
Great idea!

Thanks for the helpful tips Anna. 😊🇨🇦
You are welcome!
Loved the video. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching Anne!
I just came across your video on preserving your stamps and putting them in the case! These are the Polymer ones, but how do you store the cling ones?
Love this great idea. Need to try with my next ones
I hope it helps you 😊
Great tips as usual
Thanks Kathy 😊
Wonderful idea-thanks
You’re welcome 😊
Can you use acetate to stick photopolymer stamps on
Good idea! Just wondering how you store your due cuts for the stamp sets then?
Thanks, for that tip... great idea!!
Glad it was helpful!
I have a rule that helps me get my stamps labeled and ready to go. I am not allowed to use the stamps until I have assembled them! This really works for me.
love this idea!
Love these ideas, thanks for sharing! 💕
You're welcome 😊
Are clear photopolymer stamps the same as a silicone stamp?
Yup. Crafters like us is a kind of a hoarder and don’t want to throw this away. 😅
Great idea!
Great ideas.
My issue is getting the stamps off the plastic liner. Some are super sticky & I’m afraid I will stretch them or rip them. Is there a hack for that?

I'm really new to this. Do you have any cleaner on the stamping shammy? Thank you for your videos.
Just water! When it dries out I just soak it with water, squeeze it out and it's ready to use.
@@handmakewithlove Thank you so much for your quick response. 😊
Brilliant!
Thanks!
What do you do when the print on the inside is on both sides? Like thee flower set in sale a bration 2023?
Beautifully happy was the set i was referring to.
I usually leave these sets as they are because I don't have a great idea for how to fit them onto the one side of the case.
clever!! thanks for sharing :)
You are welcome!
awesome idea thanks

YAY. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
