Check out this link to my blog where I did a little tutorial of it when I did them...

It was sooooooooo worth it though it was a little time consuming when I did it!

That's how I store most of my stamps! I have mine stored in a a big box since I had so many the binders weren't practical anymore! I LOVE them stored like that! Saves so much space!!!

Holy cow! It sure does save space! And I find I actually use them now since I also did myself a catalogue of what I had as I was doing it!

This is what I have done with mine as well. I try to keep all the sets together, so I use CD cases for the sets, and binders for the miscellaneous, organized by subject.

I have a suggestion as an easier way to complete this timely project. If you have a hot tool, purchase a tip that is the blade/exacto (sharp point). This melts right through to EZ foam but does not damage or cut the rubber. It make the cutting step a lot quicker and cleaner!

Now that does sound faster! I don't have one of those anyway, so it would've been scissors for me still, but I just puttered with it while I watched TV and it all got done anyway and was well worth it!

I have a piece of plexiglass in my scrap closet and stuck the stamps all over it. These are the ones I use the most..



Then I made a minibook with my bind it all to take to crops.



Now I've got more stamps than fit on the wall so I keep those in a fabric basket.

My wooden stamps are in a shoebox.

Love the stamp wall Kimmy! Is that the book like taG made?

I have my little sets in CD cases organized by subject. My bigger sets (like the Autumn Leaves and Technique Tuesdays) are in an old locker basket and are easy to flip through.

That plexiglass wall is very cool Kimmy.

Very cool ideas. I pretty much leave mine in the original packaging, which probably isn't the most efficient.

I use a plastic expandible folder for my acrylics.
