Cutting apart sticker sheets?

I have done this and it works well for me. I purchased reusable sticker paper to organize in categories. I put the sheets in page protectors in 3 ring binders. The store I purchased on Etsy is closed but here is an example of the sticker paper sheets

I cut apart sticker sheets that are 12x12 when I have used up half of the sheet or it has been awhile since I have grabbed it. I do this for 2 reasons. 1. So I can have them with matching embellishments from that paper line and 2. So I can get rid of stickers I know I will never use.

I can stand floppy half used 12x12 sticker sheets.

I keep my papers and embellishments together as follows:

Dd
Ds
Winter/Christmas
Fall/Halloween

Everything is in 12x12 Iris containers (4 - one for each subject) and then I have smaller Iris containers with embellishments. Embellishments are stored by paper company. So SS will have a 4x6 or 3x5 container, CP will have one, etc. I do it that way because more times than not I can cross lines due to the same colors being used.

Works for me. And this past week and weekend I went through my 2 season/holiday Iris containers and cut apart 12x12 sticker sheets and got rid of stickers I won't use. I also went through ephemera and tossed pieces I know I wont use.

I don't because that isn't the way I think of things when I'm doing a layout. I just can't mix up styles of stickers on one layout- it just doesn't compute for me. I've seen other people do it and it looks great but it just isn't something I do easily.

When I'm doing a layout I don't think "I need a flower here." I usually just look at the sticker sheet and figure out which sticker would work.

I keep my stickers with the matching paper most of the time. I don't have a problem mixing up lines on a layout but I don't mix up the stickers.

I can see how cutting the stickers apart would work for other people, though. It is just about how you scrap.

I cut almost all of of mine apart and then store them by theme in little containers by color. It just works with how my brain works, lol.

I've mentioned before I will use an Exacto knife to cut out elements in sticker sheets that I think "go" elsewhere. Many boy collections have sports elements, for example. I will put those stickers in with my sports embellishments.

When the sticker sheet is half used or I am breaking apart what is left of a collection, I will cut it all aparts and store elements by theme or color.

I have an Iris case full of random items. I have them mostly in Ziploc bags I can label. I have library, work, tools, doctor, etc. It's very handy when I want an obscure element!

I also do this.

It helps me to also get rid of the stickers I absolutely know I will not use.

I'm not organized though. I just have them all in one bin. That's a project for another year.

I have done this.  I purchased sticky sheets from Amazon and bought four or five three ring binders.  (there is a video, I think, from RTS that showed how this person did it) I even used the exact same binders.  I do love that I did this, but it was a lot of work!  More than I thought.  But I feel like I see more of my stickers and use them more often now that they are sorted out.  

I have them sorted like this:

Themes like kids, vintage, sports, flowers, hearts.

If they don't really fit into a category I go by color

red/green/yellow - you get the drift

Any stickers that have words go into their own binder under similar categories


All my alphabet stickers I have made a binder that I sort by the alphabet.. all my A's, B's, C's are all together.  This is probably the one I don't like the most.  I kinda wish I left the alphabet stickers as is. 

Yep- I do this
And while I’m at it I ditch all the “ best day ever” and “live laugh live” crappy stuff

I organize supplies primarily by type then manufacturer, so all sticker sheets are stored together & divided by manufacturer. Since I'm neither a theme nor collection scrapper, I buy few sticker sheets so I can quickly peruse them. When just a couple usable (to me) stickers remain on a sheet, I may cut them out (& add them to ephemera/chipboard from the same manufacturer) & toss the partial sheet in the donation bin.
