Our Artist in Residence answers your questions
Q: Amber asked: "About your die cut stamps, where do you get the acrylic blocks to mount the die cuts onto? It appears to be the standard blocks from a Joann's or the like, but those can be so expensive! Is that indeed what you use? If so, how do you afford them all?! I'd absolutely love to try this project out, but I'm definitely more on the side of frugal crafting,"
A: There are a lot of places you can purchase acrylic blocks. If you don't adhere your foam stamps to them permanently, you don't need that many. I favor Stampin' Up! acrylic blocks, but they are a bit pricey.
You can check Michaels. They always have $1 stamps and sometimes have $1 acrylic blocks there as well. Also check the tutorial again. Someone posted a trick (in the comment section) on how to turn the foam into cling stamps.

Feedback From Past Tutorials
Kristine has a suggestion for the lever card tutorial :" I found that I'm not so good at measuring a little down and a little over and making a cut. Next time I will lightly pencil in my cuts. "
