Organize It Friday: Stamp Sets

I store my stamp sets in Clear Plastic DVD Holders I purchased from The Container Store.  You can also find these on Amazon (see below).  Stampin' Up! Stamp Cases fit perfectly in the slots.  I organize my stamps by alphabet.  I keep my the Christmas Stamps separate since they are seasonal. The holder on the right has the current stamp set and the one on the left has the stamp sets that will be retiring soon.

The DVD Holder holds 14 stamp cases. If you change your mind on where you want to store your stamps, you can move these cases around anywhere in your craft room... they are also stackable.
