Hi stamping friends. Today I’d like to share with you a “PROJECT”. Today it’s a little bit of organization and a little stamping and lots of card made!
So here’s what I do. When I stamp - I stamp multiple images - sometimes I color them all at once, sometimes just as I need them. But any extras that I’m not using right away goes in this clear refrigerator/storage bin.
I use the clear bin because I can see it and it stays out on my desk that way I endeavor to used these already stamped/colored images first,
When I watercolor, die cut or stamp backgrounds, I do multiple copies. Then I put them in this little storage book. The storage book is small - on purpose. If I get too many, I get overwhelmed. So I only keep a few and cull the rest.
So today, I was able to put 3 cards together in about 15-20 minutes because everything was already done - I just need to put on pop dots or tape runner.
Supplies for these 3 cards are Repeat Impressions stamps:
3935-F, Spring is…
1507-J, Grass Border
705-G, Duckling
10504-Q, Wavy Oval Frame Lg
7003-H, A birthday is…
9303-P, Thanks a latte’ (sentiment & coffee cup)
Thanks for looking at my project. Hope this encourages you to stamp, color and paint a few extras the next time you sit down to play!

What a great idea Joy! Creating a bin like this would be a fun idea for those days you want to craft, but don’t have the mojo to create a whole project! Love your pretty cards - they’re so bright and cheerful!
Some great tips this week Joy. I am truly totally not organized at all. The clear bin is a great idea one that I think I will try. The cards brought a smile.
Great ideas and tutorial Joy! I will have to have a coloring fay for all my stamped images.
Great idea and fabulous cards!! It would be nice to have a collection like this for when you need a card but have no time to make one. But, I think it would also drive me crazy because I don’t like have things sitting around for a long time! But I still think it is an awesome idea!
Brilliant organizational idea, Joy! I need to do this, as I have stamped images and background panels all in one basket. Keeping that booklet small is smart! Thanks for the tips and a look at your awesome creataions.
