Hi! Kimberly here with a great technique that lets you make your own customized stamps using Fun Foam and Spellbinders™ die templates!
Start by die-cutting a piece of basic Fun Foam with a die template.
Place a piece of double-sided tape onto an acrylic block. Apply the foam to it and you now have a custom stamp!
Apply ink to the foam and stamp. The normal amount of pressure is all that is needed.
Stamp the image again before re-inking and create a shadow effect.
Tips:
- Emboss the foam with embossing folders for even more details.
- Die-cut letters for custom sentiments.
- Die-cut frames from the foam by nesting two die templates together.
- Dye and pigment inks both work with the foam.
Imagine all the stamps you can create! Go grab some die templates and have a blast!
Thanks for stopping by!
