Make your own stamps.

Debbie here, hoping to inspire you to make your own stamps.

I was recently having a sort out and found a huge pile of funky foam, when I looked at some of the foam stamps I already had I wondered whether it was possible to make my own stamps.

It is surprisingly easy and I was really pleased with the effect I achieved on this birthday card.

I roughly drew a cup cake and case onto the funky foam and cut them out. I added extra detail by cutting out rectangles from the cup cake case, and punching holes in the top with a cropodile.

I attached my stamps to an acrylic block using repositionable adhesive.

 

 

Stamp the cup case and top and then add a tiny circle stamp where the holes are. I have made mine slightly bigger to give two slightly different colours where they overlap.

Add a button and your message.

I hope I have inspired you to make your own funky foam stamps.
