Welcome back to Quick Tip Tuesday — your bite-sized boost of gel printing inspiration.
If you’ve been around here a bit, you know I love using random colors and papers to spark new ideas. So after I made a custom foam stamp for one of my grandson’s prints, I found myself with leftover foam scraps that were too good to toss.
Instead of throwing them away… I arranged them into a brand-new stamp!
Here’s a quick video showing the process:
This is such an easy way to get even more creativity out of your materials — and it keeps fun shapes and textures out of the trash.
Give it a try the next time you cut a foam stamp! You never know what kind of magic those scraps might create.
Check out how I used my new texture stamps in this Instagram reel.

The color gods have spoken — and they want to share their secrets! The color god combos spreadsheet is like a treasure map for your paints: searchable, sortable, and full of inspiration.
Do you keep these stamps indefinitely, or do you use them for a while then toss them? I find that, whether I like the stamps a lot or not, I store them away for 'future use' which has led to an utterly chaotic art area!
Hi, Jakki! So far, I have kept them indefinitely. I have a small wire basket that I keep them in on my work table, but it's about to overflow. I'll have to find something larger soon! 😂
