Yay! It's time for another installment of the "Create with Cricut Challenge"! If you didn't get a chance to see my previous projects for the challenge you can find my felt project here, my cereal box project here, my burlap project here, my tissue paper project here, my paint chip project here, my leather project here and my wrapping paper project here! If you're new around here and unfamiliar with the challenge, each month there is a new mystery material and using my Cricut, I make something using it! Isn't that fun?? This month, the material is craft foam! I'll be honest, I haven't used craft foam probably in the last two decades so it's one of the few materials I didn't already have in my stash. So I went to my local craft store to pick some up and when I did, I came up with the idea of creating some custom stamps! Supplies Which means, if you buy any of the cool stuff I recommend, you still pay the same price, but I get a small commission. Everybody wins! Cricut Maker Cricut Strong Grip Cutting Mat Craft Foam Cricut Knife Blade Spray Adhesive E6000 glue Craft Paint (optional) (I used Martha Stewart in: Pea Shoot, Wild Salmon & Date Night Pink) Wooden items (can be found at any craft store) In the wood section I was able to find several great stamp worthy shapes. (It's super important to make sure they lay flat so that they stamp properly.) I picked up a circle, a rectangle and an oval. I was also able to find what I think were meant to cap off dowels that I decided to use as the stamp handle. With the Maker you can also cut basswood and balsa wood to create your own totally custom wooden pieces but I decided to go the easy route for this one. As always I started by setting my canvas, meaning a recreated the object I was designing for so that I could visually see how it would look. You can see below the tan pieces are my wooden pieces. This makes it so much easier for sizing. Once you're happy with your designs, you can click "make it". Choose your machine and search for "craft foam". Through some trial and error I found that the knife blade works WAY better than the deep cut blade, so I recommend clicking "edit tools" and changing to the knife blade for this project. Once "edit tools" is chosen you can easily select the knife blade. Put your craft foam on a strong grip mat and don't forget to move the star wheels all the way to the right so they don't leave any marks on your craft foam. **If you are doing any text, be sure to mirror your image. It shouldn't matter too much as you should be able to flip it over even if you forget, but worth noting.** Once your craft foam is cut, add some spray adhesive to the backside and stick it to your wooden piece. Once it's on you can add your handle using some E6000. I painted the handles to give them a pop of color but that step is totally optional. And just like that, you've got your own custom stamps! Doing this project I realized I could really use a new collection of stamp pads and now that I know I can make my own stamps, I think it's time to invest in some! If you create your own stamps I'd love to see them! Be sure to come back next month when the material will be wood! I'm so excited about it! An InLinkz Link-up
This week we've been eating okra almost daily. It is tasty cooked on its own or added to other dishes. A few of our favorite ways to prepare okra are: * Saute chopped okra in a little canola oil until tender and sprinkle it with sea salt and pepper. * Dip chopped okra in a beaten egg and then bread it in cornmeal. Lightly fry it in a little canola oil until browned and crisp on the outside. It will be tender inside. * Add okra to beans, rice, squash and tomatoes. * Add okra to gumbo. * And I just came across a recipe for okra curry I want to try soon. Yet okra grows fast and if it gets over mature it is too tough to eat. If it makes a hard, crunchy sound when you cut into it, then you know it's going to be fibrous. At this point you can either leave other ones you suspect are too mature on the plant to dry and collect the seeds for next year, compost the okra, or use them to make art. Okra has a beautiful shape and children and adults alike may enjoy printing with them. I use watercolor paint and brush a little color on the flat cut side. Then press it firmly to paper. You can talk about pattern making and counting with young children as they make their prints. Try it!
