Carving out some foam stamps

Got to do some stamp play a couple of times recently

Here I am showing supplies to Karma

Sticky back foam, cut to fit a base, such as a milk jug lid

Carve a design with a ball point pen

Stick the foam onto the milk lid to make a firm stamp base

Whip some marker color across the design

Stamp away

(wash off on a damp cloth)

She thought she might get her grandkids to make some of their own stamps

Making a letter backward....kind of a challenge

My lady bug looks more like a spotted beetle

I quite like Karma's rose bouquet

My birthday minis were cute

but the cake looked more like a piece of pie

Change of setting: Counselor meeting

My counselor colleagues and I experimented with the same craft

Sometimes my school kiddos

get a kick out of making or using a wonky (read: imperfect) carving

to put a "stamp" of approval on a behavior reminder note they've written for themselves

My cupcake is one of my favorites

I also really like the offcenter sun spray stamped in blue from one of my counselor friends

Want to play?
