I'm thinking about packing up my Christmas stamp sets and putting them somewhere (not too far away!) to make room for my SAB sets and other new sets I got for Christmas. It's kinda sad, though!!
I will be leaving out my snowmen (It's Snow Time) and Snowflakes, and Loads of Love - that truck (and its accessories) can be used year-round! I also have Season's Sketches and am thinking out keeping the gift and it's background shape nearby so I can use it for birthday cards.
I really hope Happiest of Holidays makes the new catalog! I do plan on using the Swirling Stars Jumbo Wheel into the new year....
I'm a new demo as of July, so I haven't been through a whole stamping year yet, so that's why I'm asking this question!
I put most of them away as I do not have enough space to leave everyhting out. I wish I could!! I try to leave out a couple that have good snowflakes for "Winter" cards!!
ALL of mine are always out! I have two teenage daughters (14 & 15), they would drag them OUT if I put them away! Never know when they may need one for a school project!
I put mine away too, but not too far away. They are within an arms length if I decide in July I want to make a Christmas card. I've had to store mine in a box to make room for my other sets as my cupboard is FULL! Now I need to make room for all my new sets and I think I may have to buy another cupboard!!! Man, will DH be upset about that!
LOL It neve seems to end!!
I put mine away; but they are never too far away in case I want to get an earlier start on holiday cards. I leave Season's Sketches out though as that set does have more to offer than just the holidays!

I never did before, but this year I had to move both Christmas and Halloween sets to another spot to make more room! They are living in the bookcase with my retired sets and sets from mini catalog whose disposition is yet to be determined! They are still within reach, just not in with the rest of my stamps!
No, I don't think you should put them away just yet...you may want to do some scrapbooking with those holiday photos taken with family/friends. Or make some holiday thank you notes for gifts.

Mine are staying out for a little while more because I am making some simple but nice Christmas cards for a guy friend for next year. He is always running to the local drug store at the last minuet and then realizing they were closed. I am going to make him a bundle pack, Christmas Thanksgiving, Valentines day, and of course birthday. Am I missing and holidays?

I have a plastic cabinet under my stamp table where all of my Christmas stamps live. So I guess I sort of put them away. However this year I'm participating in the monthly Christmas challenge to make 10 Christmas cards a month, so I guess I won't be putting them away. If you'd like to join the challenge please see Forums at Splitcoaststampers
We have over 50 people already.
I'm keeping mine out for at least another month. I have to wait until my MANY MANY Christmas pictures are developed, then use those stamps in my scrapbook! :lol:
Do you put away your Christmas stamp sets??
