On the third row – I drew the veins on the leaves; I drew long vertical lines on two of the keys to add more interest and created a few simple rounded shapes on the third keys’ top part. By creating a craft foam stamp, you can stamp with both sides. This means you can have a reverse image! There are many fun techniques you can do with mirror or reverse stamping, but I went for a subtle, layered look. Rebecca using the wall sconce for a face stamp was really thinking! Love how it turned out! Thanks for sharing your ideas! Follow the same steps for all the other foam segments. Remove the tracing paper and using scissors, roughly cut each foam image. III. How to cut the foam images

I also had better results after the paint sat out for a little while on the plates and firmed up a bit! Place your tracing paper on top of the foam, then carefully (try not to touch too much the images) measure and cut both the foam and the tracing paper on top in smaller pieces. It will be easier to work with smaller pieces on the next step – I divided the whole printable in three segments. Use a clear sealer or a stain to protect the wood before applying the foam images so you can enjoy the finished stamps for many years to come. I especially loved the vintage keys, they turned out so beautiful! We can definitely say that ‘it’s all about the small details’, they really make such a huge difference here!

And here are the vintage key stamps in action, I first tried them on some vintage paper with a mini gold ink pad I had around. I was over the moon! 🙂 Step 1 – Heat foam with Heat Tool: Place the foam flat on your table. Hold a heat tool about an inch from the surface and move it over the foam for about 15-20 seconds. TIP: Keep the heat gun moving the entire time. I absolutely love my new DIY Vintage Foam Stamps and the gold ink pad is definitely my favorite when it comes to how subtle and elegant the final images look. The foam stamps can be easily washed after using and can be used over and over again. And even if it was a time consuming process cutting all those small details, I would say the final results definitely make everything worthwhile. So I would do it again in a heart beat! For my first card with this technique, I used green inks and added images from the oh-so-fun Hero Arts Hello Toucan Stamp Set ( SSS | HA).

Search "CLAMP Podcast" on YouTube or your favorit… I cut the negative space around the image itself in other smaller parts, so I can easily remove them after cutting. After the first stamp and ghost stamp, I mist a little water on the stamp. I found that I can get a few more prints this way. Some turn out like soaked watercolors. I encourage you to experiment with this process to see what you like best or what works for your artistic style. See my watery misted stamp prints below. I used some old carved wooden pieces for this stamp. The Phill Martin Stamping Mat from Creative Expressions is easy to use and ideal for stamping. Use with clear and cling stamps. You can free hand or use stencils to draw (using your embossing stylus ) more interesting designs on your cut images.

How to Use Moldable Stamping Foam – Step-by-Step Directions

I actually had a small incident with one of the branches that broke when removing the excess foam. But I was able to fix everything, I just adhered the larger piece of the image onto the wood first, then added the smaller broken piece afterwards.
