JustRite Thinking of You-Sympathy Card & Stamp Set Storage

For today's card I am using the Thinking of You stamp set from JustRite Stampers. This set includes six borders and centers with some beautiful images to color too. The Thinking of You stamp set fits the 2-1/4'' x 3-1/16'' Oval Wood Stamper. Here is the card I designed using one of the centers and borders from this set.Here is a close up of the stamp so you can see all the details in the images.I started out by stamping the sentiment/image using brown ink onto ivory cardstock. Then I used the Classic Oval Lg S4-110 die template from Spellbinders to make the oval diecut. After I had the diecut made I colored the leaves in the vine and the border around the oval with a Copic marker and then I inked the edges with brown ink. Then for the mat in the background I made two diecuts using the Fleur De Lis Pendants S4-204 die template from Spellbinders. I inked the edges of the designer paper with brown ink and added some pearls.

Another thing I wanted to share with you today is how I store my JustRite Stamps. I have had several questions and many emails about storage.

Ok, are you ready? It's a really fancy system. LOL!! No, I am just kidding--there is nothing fancy about this but it's something that works for me. Like I said, nothing fancy here. *wink* After the JustRite packaging was changed I tried several different ways for storage and the baggies just seem to work the best and take up very little storage space. I label each of the bags with the Name of the Stamp Set, Number of Borders and Centers and the Diameter so at a very quick glance I will know which size wood stamper they will work with. I store all of the stamp sets in a decorative box. I also keep all of the inserts for the stamp sets and I store all of my wood stampers in a basket. HTH! ;)

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a Wonderful Wednesday!!

Smiles!
