Day 241, Sunday, August 29


I made this stamp pad holder for my Tim Holtz stamp pads and paint dabbers. It is made out of foam core board and glued together with a hot glue gun. I saw the directions on the Cricut Message board a few months ago, but it was for Stampin' Up! ink pads. I had these stamp pads in a spinning rack...but they didn't fit right and I recently bought more Stampin' Up! pads...so I needed another storage option for these pads since they didn't really fit the other openings. I was amazed at how sturdy this thing is!

I tried to make an 8 1/2" x 11" paper holder for my Stampin' Up! colored paper out of the foam core board, too. It was very easy to make...but it is alittle too deep. Rather than trying to change the depth by cutting it...I think I will add a spacer in the openings to push the paper forward like the bottom shelf. I wonder what else I can make out of foam core board?

  1. Turned out great. So the hot glue will hold it together and it didn't melt? I think I want to try this.

  4. make sure you use a new blade in your craft knife. I used an old blade at the beginning and there are some rough spots in the "foam". But all in all I am pleased with both projects...thinking what else I can organize! lol
