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!

I’m gonna try this this weekend – such beautiful colors! I dug my set up and am excited! Thanks for sharing!

KC Wong,

This video is absolutely wonderful! And it makes the blog. So appreciated, I always stumble for ideas but this is great and if you have the patience it would be great to emboss each one as you stamp with white or clear to really make it pop!
This reminds me of the fancy doors die that Iove so much, I think it’s one of my very favorites.
Thank you so much for some great inspiration :-)

Dorothea Prouty,

Really enjoyed this video by Kelly Rasmussen. She gave me ideas on how to use some of my smaller stamps. Thank you for the information. I will definitely be making some cards and using my small stamps to make my background.

Debra Ranta,

    Debossed Snowflake Christmas Card Tutorial with Snowflake Background Etched Dies

    Hello there, Michelle Short here to share a step-by-step tutorial using the Snowflake Background Etched Dies from the Lisa Horton Snowflake Kisses Collection. The Snowflake Background Etched Dies are two layers which you can cut as a base layer and a top layer. For my card today, instead of having die cut layers, I thought that I would deboss the design.
