I added a simple sentiment from the Hero Arts Tiger Wisdom Stamp Set ( SSS | HA) and a flamingo from the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero June Kit. And even if it was a time consuming process cutting all those small details, I would say the final results definitely make everything worthwhile.Use your embossing stylus again to add more details if needed or just move to the most fun step – actually using the stamps! The images I decided to use for this project are somehow universal so you can create a basic set of DIY Vintage Foam Stamps to have around. Here, I used the coordinating dies for the Hero Arts Tropical Flowers Stamp Set ( SSS | HA) to create stamps from craft foam.

I stamped the coordinating craft foam stamp a few times to create a subtle background that matches the main palm tree.

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.

The bird image is quite an easy trace because you only have to trace its silhouette, but moving on, you will also have to trace all the other details of the images .Another fun technique is to create craft foam stamps from coordinating dies… and then using these stamps to create a background that matches the focal image. But first, let’s just take a second here and acknowledge that you’ve just created some pretty amazing DIY Vintage Foam Stamps!

Using a regular pencil, start tracing the silhouette of the first image on your tracing paper following the shape of the image from the printable underneath.

Step 2 – Press Foam into Textured Surface: Place your textured surface on your work table as flat as it can be. You can try to capture everything as accurate as you can, but also try to keep in mind that the smaller the outside details, the harder it will be to cut them afterwards.
