Stamp Storage

The last little while I've been accumulating some rubber stamps that are usually mounted on wood blocks. I am going to share how I store these stamps because I don't mount them on the wooden blocks. I love the acrylic block system, I am able to stamp way better while using it because I can see where I'm stamping.

There are however some really cute stamps that I like that are rubber so I've mixed the two systems. When I get my rubber stamps, I pull the rubber off the foam adhesive. I then mount them on EZ Mount which is sticky on one side and has a smooth cling on the other side. You can then mount them on your acrylic block and stamp with them.

This is how I have chosen to store my cling mount rubber stamps. In a CD case. I found an old CD that I didn't listen to anymore and took the black holder out. This now leaves a nice empty smooth back for you to work with.

I cut a piece of cardstock 4 3/4 square and applied the labels to the cardstock and slid it in the side with the tabs. That way if my case gets broken for some reason I can just slide it out and put it in a new case. I also applied the little label for SU stamps on the outside binding that way it's easy to see which stamps they are.

Here is a look at the stamps inside the case. As you can see they cling right to the plastic. I think it's a great way to store the stamps and doesn't take up a lot of room like they would do if I had them mounted on the blocks.

What are you going to do with all the wooden blocks you have leftover???? Well I'm working on that one, and when I figure something out I will do a post up on it. I'm sure there are tons of things I could do with them. Got any ideas?
