You don’t have to use thinlets you can just trace your own shapes and cut them out! These are great, I had so much fun with this technique.

~~~Supplies~~~

Ink: I use Stampin’ Up Ink, but I’m sure any ink will do.
Scissors or Thinlets: To cut your shape
The stamp and thinlet set is also from Stampin’ Up however, it is discontinued but you can find tons of fun ones still available!
Acrylic Block: You can buy these from any craft supplier or you can find hard and flat just to use to ink up your stamp and make your stamp impression.
Foam Sheets: Any craft supplier or even the dollar store would probably carry these.

~~~Video Mention~~~
