Thanks so much for your quick responses Linda and Lindy!

For unmounted rubber stamps -- I trim them neatly around the edges of the rubber.

for a re-usable mount I like to use "Eileen's Tack it over and over" - (available in the U.S.) it's like a white glue that is painted on the back of the rubber and stays tacky. OR double stick tape is great also. I store them on old plastic coated photo album sheets or in CD cases. When using the stamps I stick them to something flat... the top side of a wood mounted stamp or an acrylic block works great.

Hi Vizma.... I have many rubber stamps, I buy they unmounted (so they cost less in shipping too) and then I glue a piece of old mousepad, cutted same shape.... (you glue the back of the rubber stamp on the soft side. Then I store them in a plastic pockets ring binder, (plastic sheet with many pockets such as for postcards or trading cards) ....ciao

Look at these lovely Stempelen which came in the mail today! No, not a grand mail art gift, I bought them online! Any tips on how to mount them, I haven't done it before. Any info would help!

To keep the rubber O.K. I keep stamping all kinds of rubberstamps from the TAM Rubberstamp Archive on envelopes and when they get full they go out into the network mostly with some new stampsheets in it too. This way the images also are spread across the globe.....

Yes, replacing carving blades is needed on a regular basis. The sharper, the better you can carve. You have to see what the local art stores or building stores offer. There is a lot of variety in blades. The good ones you will discover for sure hopefully at the right price.
