Make A Stamp From Fun-Foam - by Nichole Tugrul


How about a FUN stamping trick!

I’m slowly but surely making my way through new stamp sets, it’s hard to put down favorites sometimes!  A WHOLE LOT OF LOVELY is a hostess set that caught my eye with it’s beautiful bold sentiments.
Butterfly stamp
Combine this lovely sentiment with beautiful designer paper and you have one gorgeous card!  Wonder where the inspiration for this design came from??  Well, look no further than the fabulous sketch challenge from Create with Connie and Mary.

Sometimes I need a little nudge when using a new set, sketch challenges are the perfect solution!
Whole lot of Lovely up close
The sentiment in Pear Pizzaz ink and cardstock stands out beautifully from the English Garden Designer Paper.  These colors are so beautiful and soft, I just love this combination!  Now look at the background, it has something unique….can you spot it??
Make your own stamps!
Did you notice the butterflies??  If not, you’ll notice them now!  A member of the Luv2Stamp group mentioned this idea on our Facebook group and I had to give it a try!  ( I couldn’t find who it was…please comment if it’s you so I can give you credit!)
Die cut your own stamps!
It’s super easy, just cut a piece of fun foam with adhesive on the back for the size thinlet you are using.  I put 1 dryer sheet under the foam to help pull out all the small pieces from the butterfly.  Run it through and you’ve just made a stamp!  I put two layers of butterfly on a block, each cut individually to avoid flattening the fun foam too much.   Now you’re ready to stamp!
