Using Shadow Stamps

When a single shape can be used multi-purposely, creativity can quickly kick in and make each design unique and pleasing.

Shadow stamping offers countless design possibilities. When a single shape can be used multi-purposely, creativity can quickly kick in and make each design unique and pleasing. For example, a solid square or rectangle can be used to combine with other shapes or they can be built upon one another to form a unique string of artwork, forms and interesting geometric-like patterns. With shadow stamps, you can make up a unique layer cake by stacking shadow stamp squares on top of one another, using the smallest block at the top and the biggest/longest at the bottom. Other imaginative craft work on making cards and such can including using block shadow stamps to stamp “boxes” in which you can then loop a piece of string around it to make cute little presents.

Shadow stamps are also relatively easy to make if you can find one to fit your needs. You can just cute shapes from foam and then mount the foam and ta-da! There goes your new, custom shadow stamp. You can also make shadow stamps to go with your collection of stamps if you find that there just isn’t any pre-made shadow stamp that fits your liking or your stamp shape. Just stamp the image you want to make a shadow for onto a piece of foam. Then, carefully cut around the image, making sure to leave some room on the sides of the impression. Doing so will allow for the shadow stamp to be slightly bigger. Just like any sheet stamp, you can then just mount that new shadow stamp! Before you know it, you’ll have a shadow stamp to match all your current stamps.
