To create this card I actually made my own stamp using fun foam.

My stamp was made with two die-cut fun foam pieces in the same shape. I simply glued them together using multipurpose liquid glue. Here are my two pieces as I was putting this stamp together.

After they were attached, I used a piece of cling mount adhesive (cuttings from when assembling the set) on the back of the homemade stamp so it would cling to the acrylic block.

I really love this shape and so making my own stamp was an easy way to be able to create a fun background pattern. In the photo below I’ve shown the die and the stamp that I made.

The images on the left and right were stamped using Versamark and the Stamparatus for precise placement. Then they were heat embossed using black embossing powder. The sentiment is heat embossed with silver embossing powder and mounted onto the silver foil die-cut piece. The whole element is attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

About Me Page

I am a seeker of that crazy, excited feeling that comes when you've created something that’s unique, beautiful and expresses who you are in some small way. It’s like making a new discovery, when you find a unique combination of color, layout, dimension and texture. I call it a creative spark and it makes me giddy! Through sharing and teaching I hope to help others find this amazing feeling of creative bliss!
