Wow,lovely prints from your placemat Laurel! tfs

I have these, this video gave me inspiration, thanks

You are an inspiration for all crafters and you make it fun.

This was so fun, Laurel! I made some interesting, well different, designs with this foam for Christmas cards, and my granddaughters (8 and almost 11) spent a morning creating as well. I’d love a video showing how you cut them down, or use them, in your cards. I struggle to get them anywhere near straight on the card stock! Thanks for sharing!

Thank You!

I was immediately impressed seeing these in action in Simon's video!! Bought these crazy affordable magic tool!. I shared them with new makers and they were hooked!! Oh did I mention how much I live these?🤩 Thanks, Laurel💜

Thanks for these fun ideas. I have NEVER seen stamping foam, and I've been studying card making for a looong time. I think I need this foam!

LOVE THESE! THANK YOU for sharing beautiful, inexpensive, and easy ways to find and use textures! Amazing is the best word for this and I intend to use all of your ideas to create jewelry and cards. 😊👍💜💚💙💗

Fabulous!! I’d love to see what you do with those backgrounds.

I have se blocks but havent used them yet but watching you it looks so simple.

Simon should be really grateful for this video!

I have these, packed away since I was to have moved several months ago. I am still excited to do this, loved them all, particularly placemat and triangles.

Ty so much for showing us this. U have seen it used with stencils, but you have once again taken it up a notch. I love your videos, fun and so informative 💜

Hello 👋 How are you doing today?

Like you I bought these after they’d been out of stock for months and since I got them they’ve been sat in the packet unused! Thank you for inspiring me 😘🇬🇧 x

Brillo cards idea's New subsciber fron across the Pond . Happy crafting xxxxx

That is so cool. I love it.

Shoe prints could be fun if you're a runner or a little kid foot print . Dropping these in the shopping cart

Love the place mat one.

I was gifted some of this foam and have been trying lots of things with it, layering the leftover paper from my favorite die cut to get a stamp of the die cut, small almost flat jewelry charms, and opposites of my pattern stamps. When you store them, make sure they're on top because they will get compressed and can be restored with heat, but it can damage impressions you want to keep.

I love these videos where you just let loose with whatever is around. Love the idea of household objects for texture. How about some bubble wrap? corrugated cardboard? even a scrubbing brush? I think the placemat prints were my faves. I'm a sucker for any kind of swirl (koru design)

Great results! I want to do mostly gel prints but with some stamping and stencils included. I made a lot of my own stencils. Can't afford to buy a bunch of stamps and I really don't want to have to store them either. Since I am mostly looking for texture and pattern, this is perfect! Thank you so much! I did not even know this foam existed.

I love mine! I go outside and try to find cool things to make stamps with. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for bringing this to us! BLESSINGS

I Love this! I have a large block of foam I've never used and don't have Nearly enough textured background stamps. I think I'm going to try this with th extra thick fun foam as well. Maybe glue it to some Fibre board first to give it some sturdiness. I'll let you know if it works! Will be less expensive and we'll be able to keep All the backgrounds we like. 👍 I love your channel ❤ thanks for all the great ideas!

Wowza!!!! I love this!!!! I had no idea how amazing these blocks are….I’m now rushing to google search where I can buy them🤣 Thanks so much for sharing…so glad I found your channel and have now happily subscribed. 🙌🏻😎

I love all the different techniques you used on these blocks. I’m going to try making some soon because I do have the blocks at home. Thank you so much for your video. 😊😊

Hi beautiful, I feel you may already know about this trick, but just incase, I wanted to let you know that u can just put a hardcover book or something similar that will fit and do the job,under the canvas and when you push in , it will be firm! Just make sure that it fits inside the hollow part and doesn’t go over the wood edges/frame and you can press as hard as your heart desires 💕 Also thank you for this video ! I’m just now learning about any of this , however something pulled at me to watch this specific video first, and I’m so GLAD because I have lots of acrylic paint and only have alcohol inks. Now instead of letting that be a hindrance and having to wait until I can afford everything, I NOW SEE AND KNOW, I can just invest in these blocks and I’m good to start my new journey for now! PRICELESS 💕

Love, love, love that yellow flower you used to make a stamp.

Those are so neat! Thanks for sharing. And I love that you included your husband stealing your desk and chair 😂

I've said it before but have to say it again. I love your videos. You laugh, you have a great sense of humor and you are very inventive. I have watched a few other creators videos that make me fall asleep. Enjoyed the plug for the desk and chair as well. Good luck getting your chair back. Love the backgrounds. I thought about trying these blocks out before, but after seeing your ideas I think I will get a pack and try them.

Wow, thank you! So much.

This is great ! I have decided to buy solid colored T-shirts and decorate the front myself because it is so hard to find quality T-shirts with a print . and the price has gone up ridiculously high . I priced regular stamps at Michael’s and I could not believe the tiny stamps that cost ten twelve twenty dollars . no way. But this sponge stamp is a fabulous idea and opens up a lot more patterns than just flowers or bugs or some thing. Thanks for sharing.

How brilliant! Like a new monoprinting technique

I just bought these and haven’t tried them yet. I’m going to get them out today! I’m thinking of lots of things to get impressions of! Thanks, Laurel!

Hi, I love how you 'use what you have.' I watched your video on not buying more 'stuff'. I'm like you were, an impulse buyer and I used to subscribe to all the card making YT channels and I would 'need' everything they used. 😒 Then, I unsubscribed to all the newsletters and YT channels . . . but then went off card making (it turns out the real hobby with me was buying 'stuff'.) However, after watching your videos I have gotten some of my enthusiasm back (I have still bought some 'stuff', but only what I needed.) Thank you for giving me the joy back! 👍💖
