How To Make Stamps Using Cricut

Make Stamps Using Cricut

 

DIY foam stamps are the perfect beginner Cricut craft! Cutting foam with Cricut was one of the first Cricut made craft projects I did back in 2015 (I even wrote a blog post about it here!). Did you know that Cricut can cut foam? I’ll show you how easy cutting foam with Cricut Explore is below! Learn How To Make Stamps Using Cricut and supplies from the Dollar Store below!

 

I show you how to make a stamp and how to make foam stamps using a Cricut machine. If you don’t have a Cricut machine, you can still make your own stamps using craft foam and wooden blocks. Making stamps and cutting foam with Cricut is a great beginner Cricut project if you are new to Cricut.

Craft foam stamps are a fun activity for kids and adults! I used foam sheets from the Dollar Tree (instead of Cricut foam sheets) and wooden blocks found at Hobby Lobby. These craft foam stamps cost less than $1 to make your own stamps using supplies from dollar stores!

Making these Cricut Stamps was easy with my Cricut Explore machine but I’m including instructions in case you don’t have a Cricut machine.

 

 

 

I highly suggest using a Cricut Explore or Silhouette cutting machine to make this project. Just upload the SVG or PNG in the program you use (I use Cricut Design Space), size, cut, and apply!

 

 

If you don’t have a cutting machine, you can use Craft Foam and stencils to cut your own images or use Pre-Cut Foam Letters, Numbers, and Shapes, found at craft stores!

 

 

My favorite online resource to find SVG files to make Cricut craft projects is DesignBundles.net!

These Craft Foam Stamps were so simple to make and were an easy #5minutecraft that kids can help make them!

 

DIY Foam Stamps are a fun Cricut beginner project. If you never cut craft foam with your Cricut, you will love making some stamps!

How To Make Stamps Using Cricut

 

Supplies:

• Cricut Explore
• Images (I used various images found in Cricut Design Space that are Free with the Cricut Access Membership)
• Craft Foam Sheets
• Wooden Blocks
• Tacky Glue

Directions:

1. Gather supplies. (I show you how to make the stamps using a Cricut Explore Air in the video below). 
2. Add select images to Cricut Design Space. I chose various images (a unicorn, star, heart, dinosaurs, etc) and size the images according to your wooden blocks. Mine were sizes around 2 inches each.
3.  Set your machine to cut Foam.
   
4. Use a heavy grip mat and place foam sheets to cut on your cricut machine.
5. Cut the images. I used my Cricut Explore Machine with the Deep Cut Blade to cut 6 images in less than 5 minutes! 
6. Use Tacky glue to attach to wooden blocks and let dry overnight. 
7. Use the negative portion of the foam sheets (it looks like a stencil) to draw the image on the opposite side of the blocks (to label each stamp with the image).
   
8. You can also cut vinyl instead of drawing but I simply drew the image on the blocks.

FYI – Making Stamps with my Cricut machine was one of the FIRST Cricut projects I created!

I received my first Cricut machine in 2013 and made my daughter some alphabet CORK stamps using my Cricut machine.

What Cricut Accessories Do I Need?

 

Cricut Essentials make putting the pieces together a joy. From tweezers that handle delicate parts to Cricut EasyPress for foolproof iron-on, every Essential makes a great project even greater, every step of the way.

These are the Cricut Tools & Accessories I recommend for the serious crafter:

 

Cricut Easy Press

 

 

 

I highly recommend purchasing the Cricut Easy Press if you plan to do any iron-on or heat transfer projects. The Cricut Easy Press will make your Cricut DIY’s so much easier!

 

The Cricut Easy Press comes in 3 different sizes, however, I own the 9 x 9 and it’s the perfect size for most projects.

Cricut Easy Press Mat

 

 

If you purchase the Cricut Easy Press, don’t forget to get the coordinating Easy Press Mat, which will protect your surfaces and projects from burning. Alternatively, you can use a folded towel, however, the mat is sleek and easier to store in the craft room 😉

Cricut Bright Pad

 

 

The lightweight, low-profile Cricut BrightPad makes crafting easier while reducing eye strain. It illuminates fine lines for tracing, cut lines for weeding, and more.

Cricut Cutting Mats

 

I suggest having a variety of cutting mats that are customized to match the weight of commonly used crafting materials. With three different mats specifically designed to work with different weights of materials, you can ensure success in all your projects.

Cricut Tool Set

 

 

You will thank me later for telling you to just get the Cricut Tool Set instead of buying each tool individually! The tools included in the Cricut toolset are all helpful when using your Cricut machine.

My favorite non-Cricut brand materials

 

You can find other brand vinyl, iron-on, contact paper, and more outside of Cricut.com. A few of my favorites are:

• Oracal 651 Permanent Vinyl (find it here or at your local craft store)
• Siser HTV
• Dollar Tree clear contact paper (or shelf liner)
• Various fat-quarter fabrics at Walmart
• Felt sheets at local craft stores

 

 

Learning how to use your Cricut is really easy and fun once you get the hang of it. If you don’t have a Cricut Access Membership, I highly recommend it. I’ve had a Cricut Access Membership for years and it’s definitely worth the cost for all the benefits!

How To Choose a Cricut Machine

I bought my first Cricut machine in 2013… it was called the Cricut mini and was one of the first Cricut machines that didn’t have a keyboard. It was a great machine but as soon as Cricut released the Cricut Explore machine in 2014, I quickly bought it. A year later Cricut released the Cricut Explore Air and I bought that too. Then in 2017, Cricut released the Cricut Maker Machine and of course I bought it too. So you can say I’m pretty experienced with Cricut machines and have in-depth knowledge about using Cricut and various Cricut projects.
