I have some clear stamps that I got from various sources and I was looking for good storge ideas. I heard cd cases were the best. But I cannot visualise it. Was wondering if anybody had pictures that they can share?
It's kind of funny that you posted this. I was @ Michaels today, and I picked up an expandable photograph holder. I'm not sure if you'll understand what I mean, but inside it had about 20 separate compartments. It was a bit bigger than I'd say a 5x7 frame, and I said to my daughter - this would be great for storing clear stamps". It also had a silver closure button in the front and a handle, so you could carry it around.
Thanks Danita and Julia. Both your tips have been so helpful. Just wanted to say that this is an Amazing community of people and everyone has helped me so much.
For acrylic stamps i use half of a sheet of 8 x 11 chipboard and i put acetate on top and then store them in rubbermaid containers which holds 100+ sets. I love it. Then on the back the chipboard i have a sheet that shows what it is so they are easy to flip thru
I store mine in clear CD cases - I bought a case of 200 for like $40, but I can;t remember from where. I also discovered clear DVD cases through these forums, and use those for larger sets. I have finally taken the plunge and I'm unmounting my SU sets and storing in the CD cases now too. I recently bought a Benno CD tower from Ikea that matches the Billy bookcase I bought from there, and store my cd cases on that. Now I just need a few more of the Benno towers....
My stamps are everywhere. LOL The little $1 acrylic stamps from M's and ACM are in baseball card sleeves in a 3 ring binder. My good CTMH acrylix are in 2 of the CTMH storage containers for them. And I just started getting SU stamps but I'm putting them in CD cases. I think I'll move my TAC stamps to the CD cases as well... (they're in some type of portfolio thing that has plasticky pages for them to cling onto)... We'll see... I'm always looking for great ideas.
