Making Memories Foam Stamps

[luvn2stamp]

aaarrrggghhh....I love my Making Memories foam stamps....they are nice and cheap and cute....the thing is ...I am trying to make flash cards for my son....hence he hates math....thought I would make it fun...LOL....well I got this cute alpha set and decided to stamp with ink.....I have mega different kinds of ink....you name it I must have it...well when stamping I either have not enough and the stamp is missing some or to much and the stamp is moving all over the place.....I am way to crafty to go out and buy flash cards...can someone tell me what I am doing wrong...or give me some pointers?.....please......

Are you referring to the amount of ink on the stamp?

I'd recommend dye inks rather than pigment inks for starters. And if you are not sure that ink has been applied to the entire stamp, try holding it up to the light and moving it back and forth to see if the image is wet.

I have the MM stamps, and i struggled with this also. I have found that SUs craft ink works very well. Just make sure you rub it on pretty good, and it stamps beautifully. i have a few cards in my gallery made this way. I love the results, and i LOVE mm stamps!!

Good luck and what a good momma you are to make these for your son!

You can use acrylic paint on your foam stamps instead of ink. You can control how much paint you put on them.
