I started a series of experiments on stamping foam 2 years ago, and never worked on the videos. So I&#8217;m trying to get through as many as I can now \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s attempt was using stencils. I used a store bought one from Tim Holtz\/Stamper&#8217;s Anonymous and then one that I made myself. I made the stencil by cutting 2 layers of Yupo paper on my digital cutter, and gluing them together to make them a little bit thicker. You&#8217;ll see that I got a better imprint with the double layer rather than the store bought one (and 3 layers would be even better).<br \/>\nSo if you have that option that would be the way to go.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to utilize a piece of soft craft foam to lay the stencil on and press the stamping foam (after it was heated up) on top of the stencil. The craft foam is soft ( and this particular version is thick) so it gave a good impression as well as imparting some texture.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11372\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11372\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Stamping-Foam-with-Stencils-Craft-Foam-800x450.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11372\" src=\"https:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Stamping-Foam-with-Stencils-Craft-Foam-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Stamping Foam with Stencils Craft Foam\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11372\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stamping Foam with Stencils Craft Foam<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11374\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11374\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Stamping-Foam-with-Stencils-Pressing-1-800x450.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11374\" src=\"https:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Stamping-Foam-with-Stencils-Pressing-1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Stamping Foam with Stencils Pressing 1\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11374\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stamping Foam with Stencils Pressing 1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11373\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11373\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Stamping-Foam-with-Stencils-Stamp-1-800x450.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11373\" src=\"https:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Stamping-Foam-with-Stencils-Stamp-1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Stamping Foam with Stencils Stamp 1\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11373\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Stamping Foam with Stencils Stamp 1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Stamping-Foam-with-Stencils-Stamp-2-800x450.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11371\" src=\"https:\/\/ursula-smith.com\/mixed-media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Stamping-Foam-with-Stencils-Stamp-2-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Stamping Foam with Stencils Stamp 2\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Stamping Foam with Stencils Stamp 2I inked the stamps with Distress Oxide ink and showed how to soften\/clean up some of the ink pad remnants on the foam stamped.
