Pencil Eraser Stamp and Blank Puzzles

Previously, I saw a craft using punched colorful paper to make a heart. That is so pretty!

 

I tried to make one myself.

 

But I did not use color paper. Instead, I used eraser stamps.

 

I chose to stamp on a blank puzzles, so I can write greeting or secret message on it and let the recipient to put the puzzles together and see the greeting / message.

 

That must by funny and mysterious!

 

 

 

Below are the steps of my work:

1. Use computer to print a heart and cut it out.

2. Use Blu-tack to stick it onto the puzzles. Put very small Blu-tack around the edge of the heart, or you cannot stamp a perfect heart shape.

3. Dip some color on pencil eraser and stamp randomly on the puzzles. I used acrylic color this time.


Tips:

a. Remember to stamp more around the heart, so as to make a perfect heart shape!

b. Try to use different pencil erasers for different colors. Or, you have to wash away the color completely before changing to another color.

c. Make sure one color is dried completely before doing another color.


You can do the same by using fabric colors on tshirt and canvas bags. That is so pretty!

Below is my experience on using blank puzzles to make greeting cards.

I don't like to buy greeting cards from shops because they are so common.

I prefer to make them by myself.

Last time, I put a photo on the supporting board, drew and signed the puzzles as a birthday card to my Dad. He likes that so much!

Thanksgiving Day is coming. This time I would like to show my love to my mommy.

This time, I put a heart shape paper to cover the central part of the puzzles first.

Then I used foam to make heart stamps in different sizes.

After stamping the hearts randomly on the puzzles, I took away the heart shape paper. There was a big white heart with tidy edge.  I wrote some words inside the white heart.

Kids crafts - DIY Puzzles / Birthday Card / Photo Frame?

My father's birthday is coming soon.

This year, I want to make him some unforgettable thing, instead of buying him a gift.

Time really flies, I note that he is getting old recently.

He forgot something that had happened just two months ago.

I think we must not delay to show him that we love him.

Or, one day, he may forget all of us!

That is not what I want to see, but a thing that may happen soon.

My father will be seventy five years old very soon.

***********************************************************************

I looked at the blank puzzles that I had bought for my son, and suddenly had an inspiration.

I decided to make the puzzles a birthday card, as well as a photo frame.

At first, my son and I painted rainbow colors on the puzzles.

Paper crafts - Blank Puzzles / Jigsaw

I saw some blank puzzles in a shop.

I decide to buy for my son.

This really inspires creativity.

My son can draw anything on it as he likes, and then play with it.

If he doesn't want to play it, it can be hanged as a home décor.


Or, he can draw something and then send it to grandparents as gift in Thanksgiving day!

What a great idea!
