Acrylic Stamp Storage

[littlekiwi]

I have 7 sets of acrylic stamps & I have no idea how to store them - I have an Amy Butler tote for my hybrid supplies and a desk that I share with my laptop and school work

I store mine on a shelf above my desk, in an Ikea box with all my stamping stuff (blocks, inks, cleaner, etc.), but that's not really practical if you want to be mobile. Have you tried CD case? I know some companies sell their stamps in those, like paper tray ink, for example!

I have all of mine in empty CD cases. Just take out the insides - the plastic bit that keeps the CD in place - and you can stick your stamps to both sides

it's not a case of wanting to be mobile - it's more a case I don't have a whole lot of room or storage space

LOL! I thought of being mobile because of the tote, actually. If the storage space is your main issue, then the CD cases are probably the best option.

For my favorite stamps (which now I hardly use, but was in my travel tote), I have a small photo album that are for 5x7 photos and I store the sheets with the stamps on them and put them in the photo shelves. For my Close to My Heart Stamps - they are in CD boxes and like Chloe, stored above my desk.

You could pick up a binder and some of those clear sleeves for keeping papers together (all of a sudden can't think of what they're called, lol), put them inside the sleeves and you'll still be able to see what they are and they won't spill all over the place.

I've only used CTMH acrylics, so I'm not sure if they all come with the plastic backing that you stick them to that has the picture of what the stamp is? But if they do, just put the whole thing in a sleeve...easy as pie.

thanks for your replies ladies - I'm not sure exactly what I am going to do yet - might do the cd case thing or the photo album idea.
