Special Boss Masculine card and Foam texture stamping tutorial!

hiya,

            My Hubby(Jagan) wanted a special card to his special manager, who quits his job to start his own company.. He presented a tie to Jagan and so Jagan wanted a tie in his card, like the one in this card.He also wanted the word Boss. So I sat down making this card.. with the Crafty JC color pallete#3 and ICRC12-Dots,stripes and tag and Card Patterns#140- flipped the sketch 180 degrees.

Again Stampin up Best dad Ever stamp set, Echo Park paper, my foam stamped paper,Inkadinkado sentiment, Pie lane button and Baker's twine

        We have already seen how to use Foam as stamp. After experimenting, I am adding a  twist to it..I call it Foam texture stamping!! .. :)
        Take foam in required shape and draw stripes, chks, dots over it with scale and empty ball point pen.

Glue it to the acrylic block using double sided tape.

Stamp it with the required color on paper.But Only one color for 1 foam.

See the stamped backgroud!!Just give it a try.. its amazing!!

Thanks for stopping by!

I have a giveaway running, details on the side bar.I host a challenge- use your PP scraps.would love for you to join in!

Sea View Fun side step card ! and Tip - Foam as stamp

hi there,

This card became the newest favourite for my son!! yes.. he hugged
and kissed me for the card and says he will not let me give this to anyone!!:)).I guess he likes the cute Splash dance collection (octopus and dolphin)..and was so eager to help me out to place things on the card..OK..you can learn how to make side step card from here.

The PP is from Itsy bitsy.. the fish and the sea horse are self adhesive foam die cuts..I just drew eyes for them... suddenly I found no place for the sentiment and my son suggested to draw a yatch! yes.. ! I cut yatch from scrap paper pieces and stamped sentiment on its sail!..We had real fun in making it and hope you are having fun watching it!!!!

Today's Tip

Foam as a stamp!
Yes.. you can use foam as stamps and even create backgrounds with it!

You can buy readymade foam die cuts,or cut using your dies or hand cut in required shape.Some punches also work(not all).glue it on CD case cover.Now apply ink over it and stamp on paper! you can never go wrong with them and it is so simple!!

Another background idea!!
