How do you store your acrylic stamps?

[Debbi Tehrani]

I have a ton of them, and I'm wanting to organize them and figure out a good storage system. How do you all store yours?

That's a hard question! I have more rubber and unmounted rubber stamps than acrylic, but I have a large pile of acrylic stamps too. I keep them in their original packaging most of the time (unless it tears). I bought a Cropper Hopper holder, which I think is supposed to be for stickers and stuff. It has many cascading pockets and folds out like a concertina. Almost all my clear stamps are in that holder, arranged according to manufacturer and theme (most of them are Hero Arts). I can find what I need quickly. Here's a link:

It is full now though, so I think I need to get a second one.

I keep all my stamps out of sunlight - especially important with the clear stamps - they are inside a cabinet.

Really small packages of clear stamps are kept in a small box.

I hope this helped a bit Debbi!

Me again, Debbi have a look at this link from my stamping friend Anne - this is an example of great and very simply organisation of clear stamps - much better than mine actually (but I haven't been able to find a deep enough box here):

I definitely need some help in these area myself. My stamps are currently in a large basket separated into baggies by theme. It is not practical at all!

Thank you so much for your input, Anna-Karin. I knew you'd have some great ideas, as you are the stamping queen!

I was looking around and found this cool idea, so that's what I'm going with. Let's see if I can figure out how to embed a video. (I think this girl is so cute!)

lol I only saw this after I had posted but this is how I do mine... the only files we can get here are 8.5 x 11 this is a fab system and works so well :D

That's a great idea! Thank you for linking the video Debbi!

I have just organized them the same way as my stickers - in a binder with page protectors. We'll see how that works.

I went to a scrapping retreat recently and came away with a new idea for this 

 here I detailed what i did on my blog hope that helps

Thanks for sharing your idea, Happysnapper!

Wow. This is a good question. I've never really thought about it much before. (you made me think!) I have written up on my blog what I do. It may not suit everyone - but I'm now using my clear stamps, whereas before, when they were in a pile, I really wasn't.

I have mine in baseball card clear protectors in a 3-ring binder.  Does the job. :)
