Stamp Storage & a Teacher Gift
Hi everyone and Happy Thursday! 
It’s been a busy week here- and I am glad to see the weekend getting closer. Yesterday, I spent some time organizing my stamps in a different way that I thought might work better for me. You may know, I used to have them on a Clip-it-up organizer- which was tall and had a ton of clips all around 2 tiers. However, I was having trouble locating what I was looking for-so….well…I’ll show you in a minute. First, let’s look at this teacher gift.
I remember when I was teaching- was also when I started to drink coffee- Something about all day with all kinds of children, makes you need a little extra energy- so I turned to tea or coffee. So, I picked up this little Starbucks insulated cup. I love these things- and have several at our house. Reusable, and will keep your drink cold for a long time. The small ones are about $6- and I filled it with little Starbucks VIA, which are their instant cold coffees. Then I added a flag/tag that I just hand cut.
The sentiment is actually a combination of 2 sentiments: The first part is from the PBD Perk Up stamp set, and the “teacher” part is from the PBD Our Teachers stamp set.
I also picked up a Starbucks gift card—all while picking myself up a Venti Caramel Macchiato 
I cut out a little gift card holder from Lori Whitlock- except it originally had a snowflake on it- so I took it off, and added a little coffee mug instead.
Then I tied some seam binding around it- and let the gift card peek thru- because it matched so well!
Cute card, right?!
Okay…I know you are dying to look at my stamps–if you didn’t see them on Facebook yesterday that is I saw my friend Liz with these baskets containing almost as many PBD stamps a couple weekends ago- and she told me she got the baskets at Michael’s- so off I went. I picked up 6 at 40% off, regular priced 5.99 each. I only chose turquoise and pink- but there were other colors…
Then I measured and made dividers using the silhouette software and cut out a ton of them! They measure about 5×7 and I could fit 2 on 1 piece of 8.5×11 card stock.
Then I typed out all the PBD stamp set names, and made labels—lots and lots of labels! I printed them, and then cut them out in the Silhouette, with adhesive paper.
Makes it easy to find, because they are all in alphabetical order- and that way I will always know which stamp set I am using
Since I had another basket- I decided to fill it with my Cuttlebug folders. I use to have them in a binder with photo pages, but I found it too much of a hassle to pull out and flip thru to use- which meant I didn’t use them. So, with them like this I am hoping I will use them more
If you are thinking of organizing your Pink by Design Stamps this way- send me your email and I can send you the silhouette file with all of the stamp names on it- that you can print and cut. So, you can be as organized as me! (the rest of my craft room is NOT this organized)

This is amazing. Can you share what file you used to make the dividers as well? Thanks!!
This is awesome! Right now I have them in binders that are getting way too bulky. I am reorganizing this summer, so maybe I can work this into the plan. Can you please send me the Silhouette files? Thx

Just popping in! Haven’t been by in a while, but I’m looking forward to finding a way to organize my stamps too when I move to my apartment. I really like this option! Besides being pretty, it’ll make it a lot easier to use everything. I still have all of my PBD stamps in the plastic packaging because I love how they look, but now that I have so many sets, it’s getting impractical, haha. I ‘d like to do a pink and green basket option … hmmm … haha, still have to wait until post-wedding and honeymoon though. Then I can go back to maybe spending on crafty things!
FABULOUS!!!! Soo proud of you to do this! I need such strength to do this! I dont know why..the rest of the house is pretty good, my room….OH DEAR GOD!! My thing is paper…I do have my stamps in good, well wait…never mind! i need something like this!! Arrrrgh! Help!! Calgon!
Love the storage idea. If you can send me the file that would be wonderful.
Super cute bins – it must feel so good to get organized!
I love the cup idea for teacher appreciation – I will have to tuck that one away for next year!! But I did use your “Have a jolly day” and “Thanks for making me a smartie” stamps on gifts at the beginning of the week – so thanks for putting that stamp set out – it made this week of teacher appreciation easier!
Have a great day!

A great teacher gift…as a former pre school teacher! Love your stamp storage!
I love the ideal! Could you please send me the files also with the dividers as well. I am always looking for ways to save space and time. I am always forgetting where i put things. LOL

What a great idea for a teacher gift and I LOVE your stamp storage.
Love the coffee cup gift set!! Those baskets are an awesome idea for stamp storage!! TFS
Wow Love your teacher gift! And you are sooo organized. I love the way you set up your stamps. I don’t have the table space to do this so mine are seperated into drawers by holiday’s, birthdays, etc.
These are both great ideas! I have no teachers to gift, but this is a perfect co-worker gift! Your stamp and cuttlebug files are awesome! I see some colorful baskets in my future!

That stamp organization is dynamite. Don’t have that store anywhere near me but I think I can find/make boxes to follow the idea. Would love the name of the Sil files if they are in their store or a share. You are awesome! Thanks so much.
I just found you on Pinterest. Great tutorials, etc. I did sign up for your newsletter too.
I would love to get the template for the dividers and labels. Thanks for offering to share.
