I had been keeping my tissue tape in a glass jar and lately stacked on a dowel attached on my desk. Both ways looked great but I had to off load all the top rolls to get at the one I needed. So here is what I came up with, an empty wax paper box.

DIY - Fun foam BG stamp

DIY - Fun foam BG stamp, a photo by jmcraftygal on Flickr.

More fun with fun foam!

Here I'm using fun foam to create a background stamp.
I like that the impression is a bit distressed looking. It lasts for a long time too, this one has been around since february.

To make the FF Stamp I put the fun foam in the Lacy Brocade EF by Stampin Up! and ran it through my Big Shot as I would cardstock.

Now use FF stamp as you would any other unmounted stamp.
If using dye inks, clean up is as easy as holding it under running water.

I'll post the card that I'm making soon.
Thanks for stopping by!

This ATC is my entry to the 150 years of Photography challenge on ATC from Canada.

When completely dry I adhered it to cardstock backing.
