I just spent several hours over the past few days cutting up my sheets of acrylic stamps to fit in CD cases. The big sets take more than one case obviously.
I use a sharpie pen to label the cases. I'm still looking for some of my clear stamps! They've got to be somewhere!
Also, CTMH and My Sentiments Exactly sell a case just for their stamps. I will get those cases when and if I get those stamps.

Hi...I found a great notebook at a garage sale a few weeks ago. It was one of those thick ones. I purchased the baseball trading card protector sheets to store all my Michael's $1.00 clear stamps in and the other clear stamps I am storing on laminated boards that have the notebook holes in them. (In the same notebook)
Hope that makes sense.

CD cases here too. I keep a large M's plastic container full of stamp CD's and my Autumn Leaves ones that I just leave right in their plastic cases so I can quickly grab the container and bring it to crops. Because I can only get a certain amount in the case, if I want to add a few new sets then I must take a few others out to make them fit in.
The rest of the stamps are kept in plastic bins/drawers by category i.e. flowers, sentiments, Easter, Xmas, birthday, children, etc.
So far the only acrylic stamps I have are from CTMH and I use the storage sleeves they come in. I�m going to purchase some extra sleeves so I can use for acrylics that I purchase elsewhere. ;)
You have all shared great ideas about storage.. thanks!
I have to say that I use the CTMH envelopes for their stamps, and I have my non CTMH acrylic stamps in their original packaging in those plastic 3 drawer bins. I haven't ventured into cds yet.
wow, thanks for all the responses! I can't wait for my clear stamps to come in the post now. Do the acrylic ones stay sticky for long?
I've had some of my most-used acrylic sets for five years and they are still clingy. I haven't had to revive them by washing in warm, soapy water and letting them air dry yet. I always wash my hands before I stamp, never eat anything while stamping, and always put my stamps back in their cases after I'm done with them (whether they're rubber or otherwise), all of which help keep acrylic stamps clean and clingy in my experience.
How do you store your acrylic stamps?
