Storing Rubber Stamps??

[kransden]

I happened to be at the thrift and saw bags of different rubber stamps for making cards etc. I now have about 75 stamps, some very nice, for about 16.00 !!! :banana: I am sure the Girl Scouts etc. will have a fun time.

How do people store them? I just dumped them in a large plastic container for now. The few I had before I had in a little box. That won't work now :)

Thank you! I have wondered this myself. How do you CLEAN them? Just wash 'em off and let them dry? I guess that's what I've been doing, really, but I'm not sure if that's the right way or if I'm just supposed to wipe 'em off or what. They make me nuts, not my favorite part of card making, the stamp thing. So, I just kind of stopped doing it.

Wow, NICE score! I've seen plastic cases you can keep them in, or I've seen people keep them in drawers. Mine are all chucked in a big box, but that's probably not the best method. Inside I have 2 smaller boxes- one for holiday stamps, 1 for everything else. Sterlite type shoeboxes also work.

Fairy, as for cleaning them, you can buy special stuff- there's a pad type thing, a spray, or wipes. I'm to cheap to spring for any of those, so I wash them off in the sink with regular soap and water, then dry them with a towel. It's probably not great for the wood, but I haven't had a problem yet.
