Use foam stamps to create a festive summertime tablesetting on plates, place mats and more.
Grace Taormina from Rubber Stampede uses foam stamps to coordinate and decorate everything from plain napkins and place mats to plates!

Materials:

foam stamps (discontinued: #63008, 63001)
fabric place mats, napkins
stamping paints in various colors (#65001-038)
wedge sponge
plastic-coated paper plate
small brush
paper towels, water

Steps:

  1. Squeeze a small amount of paint onto a paper plate.
  2. Load the wedge sponge by patting into the paint, then patting the paint onto the stamp until the image is coated.
  3. Use a different wedge sponge for each paint color being applied onto the stamp. You can also blend colors in the foliage using this technique.
  4. Stamp the image onto the fabric.
  5. Continue to stamp, re-inking your stamp until you've stamped all the images in the particular colors selected.
  6. Allow the fabric to dry completely before using.
