Foam Four

By Gillian Allen

Materials Required:

Sheets of brightly coloured foam.

Craft knife, cutting mat and scissors.

White paper and a Black pen.

Tracing paper, pencil and carbon paper.

Rubber stamp wording and Black ink pad.

Peel off sticker wording.

P. V.A. Craft Adhesive.

Selection of card mounts.

To Make The Card:

Before starting on the foam work decide on

the wording you are going to use. I have used a

rubber stamp for three of the designs and a peel

off sticker for the fourth.

If you have already tried rubber stamping

you may have a suitable stamp and an ink pad to

hand. If not there are a great variety of messages

available and it is very simple to do.

Choose where the message will go on the

card. Ink the stamp carefully all over and stamp

onto the card pressing firmly but without rocking

or tipping the stamp. Lift the stamp up off the

work to avoid smearing the design and wait for

the ink to dry before using the card.

If you want to use peel off wording on the

card rather than on the foam as I have in my

design, it’s best to do it first or the foam gets in

the way making it more difficult to line up.

Choose the design you want to make and

trace the shapes

onto tracing

paper. Details

drawn on the

diagrams can

be traced as

well or draw

them freehand

using the dia-

gram as a guide.

Place the

tracing over

the appropriate

colour foam sheet and slip the carbon paper (ink side

down) between them. Draw over the lines pressing

firmly so that the ink from the carbon paper marks the

foam. Repeat this process with each colour and shape

needed to complete the design.

Cut the shapes out and ass-

emble them on the card mount.

When you are happy with their

positions remove the pieces one

at a time, glue the back of the

piece and replace it on the card

before taking the next piece.

a black pen.

The propeller and blue disc

on the sail are cut from holo-

graphic card and added to the

design. The propeller could be

glued on or attached with a

piece of florists wire pushed

through the card and the foam,

if you are giving the card to

a small child then gluing is

recommended for safety rather

than wire.

You can use other materials

within the design. I have used

some paper flags in the motor-

cycle design. These are easily

made using white paper and
