Video: Creating a Background with Small Stamps

Today I'm showing how small stamps can make a big impact on your cards by creating a custom background. Watch the video below to see how it all comes together.

(If you are having trouble viewing this video, please try watching it HERE on YouTube.)

The postage stamp images from the Stamped Just For You set were perfect for creating this rainbow background using various colors of Reactive Inks .

The sentiment was created using the Hello Stamp + Cut set along with Paradise and Kiwi cardstock. And the Canary card base makes this card extra happy!

I encourage you to look at some of your smaller stamps and see if you can make them the star of your project.

Thanks for joining me today!

Sweet card.

Toni L,

Delightful card and great idea! I don’t know that I have that much patience though! Might try it with the coffee stamps from a kit of long ago!
