Quick little tip for the day

So I've been scrapping a lot lately, and cardmaking to boot; I have only a small 2 by 2" acrylic block and I can't bring myself to pay for a larger one since they're just so darn expensive.
Every once in a while though, I have a larger stamp than can't be sustained by the 2x2 block. I simply haven't used the bigger stamps.
Until this morning, when that brilliant strike beat me with a "duh" stick. Because I couldn't even find my acrylic block on my desk of horrors.

You know those CD cases you use to store your... stamps (because CDs are so 2000 late)?
Yeah. They act as a pretty similar acrylic block also. The only issue I had was that the thickest snowflake sometimes didn't stamp as well on the inside part of the stamp--so I opened up the case and pushed it down better.

Holy beans. Apparently inspiration only strikes when you can't find your acrylic block at 8 in the morning.
