How to make your own stamping tool | stamp positioner used with Altenew Stamps and Inks
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 06. 2015
- A quick video to show how I made an inexpensive stamping tool using a DVD/Stamp Storage case. Please check out some of the other hinged stamping tools - they are amazing and much better quality. This little tool is cheap in quality and in cost and is limited in some functionality, but might work for you until you can get another one. Items I used in this video are listed below and can be found here:

Have fun creating your own Stamp tool!
I have a very bad tremor that is usually kept under control with a neurostimulator that is implanted in my brain. Well, the batteries have recently died and the tremor is 'out of control'. Just typing this is quite a challenge (My neurologist is in Houston and I am in Georgia not to mention no insurance). My point? I thought I was going to have to quit stamping...I just cannot afford the MISTI, but your less expensive version is the answer! Thank you!!!
You are so very kind to share. Thank you. Not all of us can afford the name brand products and HAVE to diy if we're going to craft. The very best to you.
I made myself one over a year ago, out of a clear ring display case. I used the foam pad that you push the rings into, as the base. It works fine. It's good to see people making their own craft aids, instead of buying everything. Great video 😊
You are sooo smart!!! This is a great tutorial... and "Thank YOU" for not having background music that interferes with your teaching... I totally enjoyed this GREAT IDEA!!! ;)
I made one according to your guidelines, works PERFECTLY all the time, no matter what! No magnets needed, maybe sometimes a small piece of Post-It Tape to hold paper in place. It's a great asset in stamping, especially when stamping onto watercolor paper when repeated stamping is needed to really make in image crisp. Thank you! And I didn't spend between 40 - 100 dollars to have a stamping positioner!
I like to use a low tack tape as well sometimes. The perfect positioner won't last forever but can be replaced if needed or you can just use a low tack tape like micropore paper tape or washi tape rubbed on your hand or the post it tape as you mention. Thanks for sharing your tip!
As I somewhat expected, my homemade positioner finally broke...the polystyrene could only take so much pressure. Put a little clear packaging tape over the crack. Onward...until something else happens to it!
I made one of these and I don't know how I lived without one!! It's fantastic for assembly line-ing cards! I've put two foam sheets in mine for extra cushy stamping, got those at the dollar tree store. hobby lobby has the really strong magnets too- but then so does ebay. I just love this tool!! Thanks for showing us how to have one without spending tons of money!!
+Robin Smith Where do you put the magnets? will it affect the stamp?
if you were near me I would give you a hug right now I am so happy that you posted this I just got into this whole card making world and there was no way I was going to spend that much money on one of those tools when I could buy pretty stamps instead
Just ordered the supplies. Can't wait! Also discovered my new favorite online store!!! The prices are amazing and the shipping is actually affordable!!! FYI anyone not aware… Clicking the triangle on the right under the video opens up the supply list links 😀
Your videos are really great quality. Enjoyed it a lot. Thank you. It saddens me that none of the "big" stamping channels do videos like this. It's so commercial and sponsored, which is cool, but to a point. Thanks for this video.
You can also make this with clear acrylic sheets from a hardware store and get acrylic hinges. Stick white foam on the back or rubber washers to prevent sliding. You can stick the Little B grid on or draw your own. I found the sheets 8x10. You can glue on rulers or write in inches.
Great suggestion! How do you cut the Acrylic?
If you use the thinner fun foam, you'll have enough room to add a photo magnet to help with holding your cardstock in place while stamping.
As soon as I saw this video, I made me one and I just love it! I've used it several times already and it makes crafting life so much easier! Thank you so much for sharing.
Best DIY stamping tool I've seen so far.
Great idea. You should put together a kit with the Stamp storage case, fun foam, a few sheets of grid paper and Little B positioner and sell it as a set for one price. Thank you for sharing. God bless, Peggy
2010pallen This is a brilliant idea!
2010pallen I was JUST going to suggest that myself!! :-D
Where do you get the little B positioner grid?
Hi Susan! You can get them at our store (use the link in the video description - or visit our website and do a search for Little B Perfect positioner) you may be able to get them other placed as well.
I just made my very own today!! I works well.. now to attach magnets and we will have created a very inexpensive stamping tool..thanks sooo much! my very own generic misti. .
Boy am I behind! I found your video, just got my supplies, except the grid, am going to assemble tonight. This is perfect for the Altenew stamps. TY for sharing because I personally can't afford the Misti.
It is really great for me when I am looking for an inexpensive tool to stamp layering on my flower images. Thanks so much for the sharing.
I like how compact and inexpensive it is. Thanks for sharing!
Great job Jodi! Those stamps are so pretty:) I like that compact positioner (because my desk gets too small when I stamp LOL) Those stamps and inks look wonderful and I can't wait to try them!
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich Thanks Lindsay! That means a lot coming from you! You'll LOVE the stamps and inks as much as I do I'm sure!
What a great idea.
You've saved me a fortune!
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich lol oh guess I found it? HOW COOL!! love this idea.
💥blown💨away💥‼️ I am so happy I found this video before I purchased the "M". My husband loves to buy me art/craft supply gifts, I just felt like the price, and the amount I would use it...didn't justify the purchase. Thank you for sharing! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼, shared, and subscribed‼️🎈
I made one similar to this but I used a softer plastic dvd case. It works perfectly.
Jodi - Thank you so much - I ordered on Tuesday and got everything today. I put it together and now I have to work and its killing me because I just want to play, play, play. thank you.
Thank you so much. I really wanted the misti. But when I got online and saw how much it was I took another look at other alternatives . And then there you were.. "AWESOME"
I have been searching high & low for a way to make this tool!!!! I AM SO excited to follow your instructions! Thanks SO much!!!
Lauri
Thank you for that! You can't even buy a MISTI in England and if you could it would be so expensive. Can't wait to make one of these!
WOW!! that is INGENIOUS!!! Thank you so much for sharing. I already own the "other stamping tool" but this one is great for smaller projects.
Fantastic idea.
I have watched a lot of faux Misti Tools and this is the BEST BY FAR! I have everything (even the Little B Perfect Positioner) now I just gotta find it..lol but THANK YOU SO much for showing us this and using the Alt T new stamps with it.. I have a set of those stamps and I am having one heck of a time lining them up..Now, I know how..Got to buy that pretty ink too..Thanks again. I SUBSCRIBED and THUMBS UP!
Thanks for the great idea, living in Canada, the cost of things from the US is 30-50% higher. This is a great alterative
Very nice. Life just became easy and less expensive.
My friend sent this video to Mr and I'm so glad she did! It's such a good idea! TYFS 💜
Ordered from Hallmark Scrapbook, received in record time, put together in a few minutes, and it works like a CHARM! yes, I would love to have the "real deal", but it's going to be a while to save up for it. this will also help to determine would I really USE it enough to justify the expense. Thanks so much! great tutorial and EXCELLENT service!
The best DIY video that I have seen, I'll make one immediately! Simple and requires very few items - wonderful.
I ordered the foam sheet, the little B, and the storage case. It came in 3 days. It only took me 5 minutes to put it together. So easy! Can't wait to try it!
I ordered the supplies to make me a couple and I have to say it works really good. I have a hard time stamping background stamps and used it today to make a few cards and it was awesome because I could make it darlker or as light as I wanted and it was all the same. No sploches any where. I was very happy with the outcome. It beats spending 50 to 80 dollars on something that I can make myself. If you make this and your grid doesn't hold your paper down anymore, you can use Stencil Removable spray to keep your matt sticky. Thank you for this great video. I came across it while browing in the online store.
Wow! Great idea. Now a lot of crafters who cant't afford a expensive positioned have a great option. Good work. Cathy
Great idea!!
Thank you so much for sharing. I always thought the MISTI while a great tool, it's wayyyyy over price. I don't think you are profiting from someone's idea, this is you making your own version of a product. Thanks again.
Tried to order from the website and both items are sold out today! What a wonderful thing for you! Congrats on a fabulous DIY cheap solution! I will beusing this idea when I can find a case!
Melodyscraps They will be back in stock very soon. Check back around Wednesday if you're still interested.
Wonderful you have just created the new low tech stamping tool congrats to you for inventing an affordable stamping tool. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your great and very helpful video. I was just thinking of doing something like this myself, after seeing the Misti, but wasn't sure of exactly how to do it. I may eventually get a Misti, or a Mini Misti. But the price is a bit steep for me to spend $40 - $60 on just one tool right now....worth it, though it may be because of the stronger construction. I actually recently purchased a Little B and even have some fun foam, so all I need is the DVD case. I can't wait to try it out. Thanks again.
this is the best video on making your own positioner out there thank you!
Thanks for sharing such a simple and effective tool. I will have a go at making my own this weekend. Thanks.
Just got my stuff today. I love it. It's perfect size for my stamping on the go bag. Thanks for a great cheap ideal
Omg i cannot believe the talk tgats going on about the other stamping aid thsts out..
As crafters we ALL make DIY projects to help us with our craft n wat not. This kady should be quite flattered that people love her product that much they want to have one that's similar tgat 1/4of the price.. or maybe not charge an arm and a leg for hers so all crafters can afford it..as for the "lawyers" tgey have nothing on you so dong be bullied into taking Your creation down..
Love your video hun.. x
I must add my thanks to all the others! this is WONDERFUL!
Awesome, thanks for sharing. I particularly like this because the other ones I've seen so far come with inch marks, which are hyper distracting to me. Shall experiment!
OMG THIS IS AMAZING!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing I just made one and It works perfectly!
YAY!
This is so helpful, I don't do enough card making to justify buying one but could really use it for certain things, and your products are very reasonably priced in comparison
Love it, love it. So glad i can get products to make my own.i am a diy person. TFS
Genius. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I was not happy with the $30-$60 price tags for the WRMK or Misti.
GREAT VIDEO!! I'm off to go find myself a DVD case....thanks for sharing!!
I have been trying to think of a way to make my own misti! this is awesome thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much for sharing! I wish I would have seen this before I went and spent money on my stamping gadget!
This is fantastic! I'm currently just learning about the clear stamps and how to make my own greeting cards using them and I don't feel comfortable using the acrylic blocks on their own, I'd rather have a grid and a solid, hinged tool to help me. I checked my local craft stores and nobody has anything like this so I'm glad I can try to make my own and save money too. :) Thank you so much for the video!!
I just found this vide and now I am one happy lady. Thank you so much.
this is so clever and so inexpensive to make!!!! thanks for the video!
This is great! I just threw a bunch of those polystyrene DVD cases into the waste basket in my craft room....better go take a few back out! Recycling the others. They are super, super cheap. Polystyrene used for acrylic stamps ruins them over time, so I switched to polypropylene cases. Having said all that, I still like using my acrylic blocks! Thanks for the tute!
I love how compact your positioner is. I have a MISTI but I love the flexibility of yours. TFS your innovation.
Thank you so very much for sharing this information. Great tutorial. Julie
Thank you for your great video I am so going to make one of these. Big hello's from Australia cheers Cathy
This is awsome, Thank You, Thank You, you have just saved me a stack of cash.....I almost bought the Mini Misti!!!
I've just been looking at the Misti but I'm a beginner and it's way to expensive but this perfect thank you subscribed 👍😀
oh wow that's so creative!! I love it! fantastic idea, love!
Wish I'd have found your video before I spent 100. buying two of the OTHER stamp positioner! Great idea & thanks for taking the time to video this!
Your stamping tool idea is so clever! Kudos to you and your creativity!!
I bought the three things needed, from you a little while back, just forgot how to put it all together. Now i do. Thanks.
I just tried this and it works GREAT. Thank you so very much for sharing how you did it! :)
Ok, this gets even better because I was able to stamp once with 2 colors on the stamp and then wiping the excess off and using Versamark and emboss using a clear embossing powder over that. Looks fantastic! =)
Thanks! This is such a great idea and the video shows really clearly what to do. Much appreciated!
What a clever idea. Wow...great, thanks for sharing.
great idea - thanks for sharing - will have to look out for some of thes dvd cases!
This was such a great idea that I went right out and bought the CD cases. I did the same, with a couple tweaks. I cut two strips and aligned them along the left and bottom sides to create a frame for placing my paper. That way I didn't need the grid paper, I just aligned the paper in the corner. (Similar idea to the Stamp A Ma Jig - butt the paper into the corner) It's also quicker when stamping multiples. I liked the idea of the "gridded lid". So I took graph paper and scanned it, then I printed it on clear sheets and attached that to the lid. The only drawback to this home made is the smaller size, but it works like a charm.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, you've saved me so much money, just bought a case from your sight XXXX
Eine super Idee und Anregung. Ich habe endlich die Folie gefunden und bestellt. Vielen Dank für deinen Tipp und deine Mühe. LG Petra
wow it is sooo good to have an alternative to so many expenses we have to otherwise use to make our card look professsional. thanks for the great video
What a ingenious way of showing your ability to save big $$$ unfortunately I've already bought mine.. but this is the best Do it yourself I've seen!! Great job!!!
This is a geat idea, I've seen many, by far the easiest one to make! I hate when my whole card is perfect, and I stamp the sentiment last and it doesn't stamp fully. so when I try to "fix" it and it double stamps, my card is ruined! tfs!!
Brilliant Idea! Thank you for Sharing!! Liz
Great demo with your homemade 'Misti'
This is fantastic. It is so simple and we have all the goods at home. Great show.
This is amazing. I just made it and I am very impressed. It works great!
genius! I wonder if you could adhere a piece of metal to the outside, bottom, so you could use magnets to hold cardstock??
Thanks for this video.
I'm living in France. As the pink thing isn't sold wholesale and as MySweetPetunia sends from the USA, buying this stamp positioner from whatever part of the world would double or tripple its cost due to shipping costs and other compagnies'profit margin. I could definetely never afford me to spend so much money on a stamp positionner even if it was the smartest stamp positioner ever.
Thanks again
Wow! That's very cool! I Can't wait to try it! I have a small crafting space, this would be perfect for me. Thanks for sharing your video with us! I was wishing I could make one, but couldn't come up with how. Now I'm excited to try this; I'm a girl with a very tight crafting budget, this will really help! ;)
This is the best dyi for stamping tool I've seen
I just read the comments about "the other product" If people can spend the money they will buy the real thing. This like with many other products offer us an option to do it yourself. The products your using are available for other uses as the CD cases are. Who says you can't repurpose them. We all do that with crafting many times....when you don't have name brand stamp cleaner you make your own... The real thing is a GREAT invention she has done a wonderful thing and will make lots of money. I don't think her sales will stall because SOME people are repurposing a CD case!! Cathy
Cathy Lee No her sales will fall because her customer service is not consistent.She honors some warranties and others she accuses the buyer of bad cleaning agent or misuse.Also her scouring the internet for DIY tools and then ranting and raving about sicking her lawyer on those people for infringement when she has ZERO patents makes her sound rather whacky.Her tool is so close to the Letter Press I would be shocked if she ever did get a patent.She will be paying the big bucks for an investigation to patent only to come up with an empty wallet.She should sell the idea to a big box company and take a cut of each one sold(profit in perpetuity)or hire someone to deal with the bad product..someone with people skills..that is what is lacking now.
+Pam Roth
As long as you are making it for yourself & not mass producing it & selling it with the same name or similar name there's nothing she can do about it. Every store carries generic products---these are just the ones we make ourselves. I agree the price it too steep unless you are making hundreds of cards or projects. I can buy a ton of fun foam & empty DVD cases for $60!!!
Thank you for showing how to make this stamping tool, we can't seem to purchase the Little B Perfect positoner here in Nelson, NZ so we are using graph sheets instead. I hope it will do the same as the Little B sheet. Cost approx. $6, better that paying $50- $125 for the same thing. Thank you once again.
I have to admit it looks fantastic..... love the ink and the stamp set!
Karen Menard Altenew is an awesome company with wonderful products. Like I said in the video the inks are my favorite and stamp a solid image very nicely even with new clear stamps. At least the ones I have used them with. Some of the other inks struggle with a new solid image clear stamp. Most work well with a stamp that has been well used or conditioned.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Can't wait to make one of these!!
I have a misti and I love it but I want to make one of these to put in my "go bag"! Tfs this idea!
I love it! Will have to try it for sure!
TFS
Anita
Came across this today. I like the compact positioner. This will be great to take out of town or to crops with you. Awesome!
This is brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing!
Wow! Talk about saving me some money big time…and I am retired on a fixed income for the moment. I definitely plan on getting the required tools for this. BTW - is it necessary to purchase the large foam pack of fifty? Just curious because I don't use it when making my cards. Only the sticky ones for pop dotting.
This is great !! Thank for sharing this tool i was waiting until imcome tax time to get one of those ha now i can make me one woo hoo !!! I so rather do that anyway i love making my own stuff.. I will head over and get my grid. Thanks so much for sharing. Hugs Heather
+Ideas2come Hi Heather.- I'm so glad you like this idea. If you think this tool is something you'll use a lot I would encourage you to get one that you were saving up for. The one I show here, like I mentioned, is inexpensive and not a very high quality item.
+Hallmark Scrapbook yes Ill definitely be purchasing one eventually since I'm such a tool freak lol. I love new tools but this will suffice until I can get one...thanks again!!!! Hugs Heather
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing.
Great idea could please tell me what kind of magnetic sheet to buy. I cannot get to work the magnet. Thanking you
Well who da thunk it? Wonderful brain cells working there Jodi. LOL Love the stamps. And thanks for sharing your money saving idea. ~Karen Sue
ScrappyKsue Ha Ha ScrappyKsue. I say who da thunk it all the time! You're a girl after my own heart. The stamps are really great. Thanks for your comment!
This video was very interesting and will save us buying an expensive MISTI.
Very interesting and clever. I will give this a try. Thank you for sharing.. :)
I bought the MISTI but this is brilliant!! What a great idea if you want a cheaper option to have similar functionality of stamping tools like this.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
