@@GerrysCraftRoom I did end up using my embossing folders, but not for foam sheets. (Will do that another day). I used them with my stamping foam.

I’m always inspired by your clever ideas.

Wow, this is great. More cost effective than using Magic Stamp blocks. I have a bunch of cheap crappy foam and wondered why I'm holding on to them. Now I know why. Cannot tell you how many times I've looked for a particular stamp similar to a design on one of my embossing folders. Tried to press design once using a magic stamp but I think your results will work better. Cannot wait to try this technique.
