How to Make Your Own Stamp from a Die

Did you know you can turn your favorite dies into stamps? It’s quick, it’s cheap, and you probably already have everything you need. Today I’m showing you how I do it, and I’ve got a beautiful card to share at the end made with my homemade stamp!

What You’ll Need

• A sheet of fun foam (you can find it at most craft stores, and even at big box stores)
• A die (today I’m using the Skinny Tree from the Winter Adventure collection)
• Your die-cutting machine and plates
• A clear acrylic block

Making the Stamp

Build your sandwich in this order:

1. Platform #1
2. Platform #2
3. Clear plate #3
4. Your piece of fun foam
5. Your die, cutting side facing down
6. Another clear plate #3

Roll it through your cut-and-emboss machine and voilà!

Hello, friends! Today I’m sharing one of my favorite fun folds, the swing card. It looks impressive when you stand it up, but it’s easier to make than you might think. The best part is that you can create it with many different frames, so once you learn the fold you can change the look again and again. For today’s cards, I’m using the Sweet Words and Label Dies.
