Having fun with foam...

Bought myself some more Basic Grey paper yesterday... Love the Pheobe line... it's bright, playful, has great colors and I love the birds...

Most of the time, when I buy new stuff, I put it somewhere near my workspace... I like to be inspired by the new stuff...

So... I was starring at it today, wondering what fun projects I could make of it... and suddenly  it hit me... I need a bird stamp!! And... if  you can't buy one (has anyone seen some cool bird stamps anywhere??) you make one...

And because it turned out great (well, I think so anyway...) and I had the stuff out already, I made these circle ones too...

Well, I'm sad to say I don't have any time left tonight to play with these some more, but hopefully I can show you a cool layout with these very soon...

And if you're interested how I made these, please let me know... I'm happy to show you!

Have a great week!

Hello!
I just linked to your page from the AEzine - and I had to tell you how much I love your stamping idea! I have been carving my stamps (and my fingers!!!) out of lino, but your idea is SO much better. I'm going to go and get on the search for some foam.
THANKS for sharing!!! Hopefully I can make something as neat as yours!

These are very fun. I have carved stamps in the past-but these look much faster!!

Thanks for the inspiration!

this is so awesome, I'm definetely trying it :) Oh, some really cute bird stamps I've seen are Hero Arts Decorative Birds set, I think they go so nicely with that paper.

Hi, I have had this bookmarked for a while and was having another look at it, Your stamps are absolutely fabulous, thankyou for sharing, I would love to know how you made them and have a play, if you have time to explain, or is it explained somewhere else on your blog, I have looked but didn't come across it. thanks again
