Storing Rubber Stamps

23 years ago

For those of you who also rubber stamp how do you store your stamps. Is there something out there specifically for stamp storage? Right now I have mine in one of those 4 drawer heavy plastic files on wheels. TIA

I do not know if there is anything specific but I took an old printer's tray and modified it to fit the stamp size (by removing sectional pieces where needed). Then I hung it up above my scrapping area - I find I use alot more stamps now that I can see them. One thing I always do is clean them before storing.

Rebecca,

Thanks, I will have to keep a lookout for the printers trays. I have seen them several times, but of course now that I could use one I will never see them! LOL And yes, if their out of sight you have a tendency not to use them.

I read somewhere that it is a good idea to list them and the purchase(store) price since there is more in our collection of stamps than we sometimes realize. They may be worth more than some jewelry. I have mine by Type, Company Desc and the store price

I've been rubber stamping forever and have tried many things. I like storing them in plastic tool cabinets. I place a self adhesive plastic business card holder on the outside of each shelf and place whatever the subject of those stamps are. They remove easily to place on a tray for stamping and then are returned to their home as I finish stamping with them. If I add to a theme of stamps I can just rearrange the drawers instead of moving all the stamps. I use to keep them flat in old acrylic picture frames but it was too hard to find a stamp quickly. This way I can grab what I need easily. Plus there available at any hardware store. I also place alot of the things I stamp with them in these drawers, glitter, glue, sponges, etc. Have fun!

Sandra,

That sounds like a great idea, I'll have to check out the hardware stores. Another gal told me she uses a tool box on wheels, like the big red craftsman ones. I told my DH I was going to move his tools to a cardbord box so I could use it LOL But these are all great suggestions.

Dear Pam,
I have read that you can take the side of an old baby crib (the rail section) and hang it from a wall, long-wise part is up and down, and put a small piece of rubber on the bottom section to keep it leaning against the wall so the stamps don't tip forward, and they work great as a cheap stamp rack.

Penny,

Yea, I read that somewhere, I think on the rubber stamp (DOTS) group. What a great idea, I should have kept that old crib LOL. Well I'll have to check the garage sales.
