It is a stamping platform for putting crafting stamps on. The cross is to center the stamp on. We have about 4 in our house as the wife makes cards.

you put stamps like these on, do your stamping then change the stamp.

I don't know what half the stuff my missus uses is for.

I still don't know what it's for or what it does.

We have these too - my wife does a lot of crafting, runs workshops etc.

just showed her the picture and she identified it immediately.

If you can remember using rubber stamps at school, all the stamping platform does is allow you to change the actual stamping "heads" It means they don't take up less space.

As my missus must have over 200 stamps of various shapes and sizes (cats, dogs, flowers, plants, sentiments, etc) the amount of space they would take up if they were all on wooden blocks would be immense. This way they fit in an A4 box.
