Oh wow Cindi your card is just so cool, I love that design, yes it is much better to just run the die through the machine once on those foam sheets, thanks for playing along in the challenge!

Here is my entry.  I did not have many dies that would make an interesting stamp (most are basic shapes and some labels) but I did have this foliage set, so I used most of those in one card!

Sarah, I used avery elle pigment inks for my card, but then I saw what you wrote about the Versafine. I tried a few stampings of versafine on my craft foam stamp and did not have an issue with the color not coming off. I used colors and not black, though.  Not sure if that made a difference.

I don't have many dies, but I tried a few.  This border die came out good, and made a good background paper.
Made a balloon birthday card!

This was so fun! This was my first time making a stamp from fun foam. I don't own very many dies other than basic shape ones since I have a cricut. Now I want to try and do this same technique using my cricut.

I did notice that it worked best with a juicy ink pad. And I had a hard time trying to use different colors after I had inked it up with one color. I wonder if the thicker foam would work better for that? I used a thin sheet that has a sticky backs adhesive on one side and wow! It took a while to get that off my block! 

I really enjoyed this challenge, Connie. Thanks for hosting  O0

LeighAnn, thanks for doing my challenge, that is a cute design on your card, thanks for letting us know that using the adhesive type foam is probably not a good idea.

What a fun challenge!  I love all the cards.  Thank you for sharing the type of ink you used.  It seems to work well with both pigment inks and Distress ink. 

Did anyone die cut two or more foam pieces and glue them together to make them a bit easier to ink up, or was the single layer enough?

I thought the one layer was plenty, I made two other cards from this stamp that I will be sharing on my blog, I am using them for my Dies R us post on Feb.6th, I can share them here too after they are posted on the blog.

Yes, I thought one layer of foam was fine too.

Thanks for the answers.  One it is.  I'm always over-doing things.

I managed to make 2 cards using my die cut stamps. 
Yellow and Black Heart

Red Heart

And the red stamp is still not dry.  I'm attaching a picture of the stamp and the ink on my finger, which I took today.  And I included a picture of the two stamps I made and the images I stamped.

You achieved nice stamping with that delicate of a die, well if it is still wet like that, it should clean off your stamp nicely.  It is funny how some inks do not dry on the foam.

Thanks for doing the challenge :)
