I’m so excited to finally share my new line of ArtFoamies with you! These stamps are playful, versatile, and ready to jump into whatever project you’re working on. If you’re new to them, ArtFoamies are foam stamps designed to make bold, beautiful impressions with everything from ink and acrylic paint to watercolors and beyond.

What I love most about them is that they aren’t just limited to paper. You can use them in your art journal, on tags, in collage, on fabric — pretty much anywhere your imagination takes you. And today, I want to show you four ways I’ve been experimenting with them lately (including a bonus sample from ArtFoamies’ owner, Kae Pea).

The popup shop is open until November 3, 2025 here —>

1. Tags as a Playground

Tags are one of my favorite playgrounds. They’re small, portable, and there’s no pressure — just pure play. For these samples, I layered painted and collaged backgrounds, then added my ArtFoamies on top.

Acrylic paint gave me strong, opaque shapes while watercolors gave me soft, washy textures. The stamped shapes became “anchors” in the design, pulling all those scrappy, stitched layers together. And honestly? The imperfect impressions are my favorite. They add character and texture in ways a “perfect” stamp never could.

2. Collage Layers

Here, I brushed acrylic paint directly onto a stamp to create that bold purple shape in the upper left. Instead of going for a crisp print, I wanted something a little more painterly and organic.

Then I built up the collage with vintage book paper, painted scraps, and even smaller stamped bits I’d cut out from earlier sessions. That’s a great trick — stamp a bunch of shapes on scrap paper, cut them out, and suddenly you have your own stash of handmade ephemera.

Mixing stamped marks with collage creates a layered, cohesive look — like the stamps were always meant to be part of the story.

3. Fabric + Stitching

Who says stamps are just for paper? ArtFoamies are amazing on fabric too. On this piece, I stamped white leaf shapes over a green-dyed fabric background using acrylic paint.

Once it dried, I stitched layered fabric scraps across the top and added some messy borders. The stamped shapes almost act like appliqué, but without the cutting and sewing fuss.

A few fabric tips:

Use acrylic or fabric paint and clean your stamp right away.
Brush on the paint lightly and evenly for a crisp impression.
Add stitching, collage, or even more stamping once it’s dry to build dimension.

This kind of project really opens up possibilities — imagine soft books, textile journals, or even stitched wall hangings.

Bonus: Watercolor Magic by Kae Pea

And here’s a special treat: a piece created by Kae Pea, the owner of ArtFoamies, using only watercolors with my stamp collection.

The result is vibrant yet soft, with luminous overlapping layers that feel alive. Watercolors give the stamps a dreamy, fluid effect — so different from the bold look of acrylics. To try it yourself, lightly spritz the stamp with water, brush or rub watercolor onto the foam, and stamp it onto your paper. Each print will come out unique, and that unpredictability is half the fun.

Ready to Play?

These are just a few ways to use my new ArtFoamies line: playful tags, layered collage, stitched fabric, and watercolor magic. And really, this is just the beginning — once you start experimenting, you’ll see how easy it is to fold these stamps into your own creative practice.

If you’re curious, you can check out my full collection here at ArtFoamies.com. And if you do try them out, please tag me on Instagram (@robenmarie) so I can see what you’re making — nothing inspires me more than seeing these designs come to life in your hands.
