Here's a big one for some people - I, again, don't have a lot of these since I'm not much of a stamper. The original post on this...HERE.
I did/do have a few Stampin Up packages, but I've since unmounted all of them (well, maybe most of them, its been awhile) and have them stored in a 3" binder. BUT, in January, I changed my storage to 2 pretty useful box which is easier to reach. The binder was up too high for me to reach, so I never bothered to, so now that they are accessible, I hope that I'll actually use them with my scrapbook pages.
She suggests to pull out ALL your stamps and see what you have - maybe some duplicates, maybe some that you now hate and can donate etc. She lists a bunch of questions that you can answer that might lead you toward the storage method that will work best for your stamping personality. All the questions seemed like they would help, but since my stamping personality is non-existent, I didn't bother with it.
She does talk about converting all your stamps to cling method - which is what I decided a couple of years ago. I won't even buy a wood stamp any more. She includes a TON of links to show storage ideas for each "type" of stamp (foam, wood, acrylic).
What I do like is that she catelogues all her stamps so she knows what she has...I would LOVE to do this, but I worry that I would tire of the process and not complete it (kinda like I did with the unmounting stamp process). One day, when I have my perfect (or at least larger) scrapbook area) I will do that! I promise!
