Hi there, crafty friends. Today’s card features how to create stamps from your coordinating dies…
You can watch the video on how this cards came together HERE or click on the video below…
So to create stamps from coordinating dies, you will need some craft fun foam. I used this to cut THESE dies from and it die cuts beautifully. Next, I laid the die cut shape on an A2 panel of deluxe smooth white cardstock. I added some temporary tape to the back and picked it up with the door of the MISTI. I inked up the first fun foam shape with Tangerine ink and stamped it. Depending on the thickness of your fun foam, you may need to place a piece of cardstock or two under your panel to achieve the right pressure for stamping. The fun foam stamps are also very easy to clean. I just use a baby wipe to remove any ink. I like to save these fun foam pieces and keep them with the stamp set since they are reusable.
Next, I cut those same dies from masking paper. I want to create a mask to place on top of the stamping so it protects the image when I stamp on top. I stamped THIS Bubble Celebrating background stamp using Mist ink. I removed the masks and placed the piece in the Misti. I lined up THESE coordinating stamps in place. To make sure they are in the right spot, I like to place a piece of clear packaging on top and stamp before stamping the stamped piece. This way I can correct any alignment issues.
For the sentiment, I chose the “you’re fintastic” sentiment from the stamp set and white heat embosssed it on pitch black cardstock. I adhered it to the stamped piece along with THESE clear enamel dots to resemble bubbles. I finished off the design by rounding all four corners of the card.
I decided to use this same technique to decorate the envelope flap as well. I’m a big fan of creating a matching envelope to tie everything together and give the recipient a sneak peek of what’s coming on the card inside. I reused the same foam image that I used on the card to stamp the yellow fish on the flap of THIS envelope and then went back in to stamp the image…
I hope this has inspired you to create stamps from coordinating dies. Keep in mind though, this technique works with any dies you have on hand.
Thanks for visiting. Happy crafting!
