Today I'm going to show you a new technique with a stylish look - Design Your Own Background Stamp - Collage Stamping! Here's our card for today
Notice the great looking stamped background---this is done with a single ink and a single stamp. You can actually use any stamp (e.g. birthday, get well, thinking of you, etc) and any color (ink and cardstock). It really goes quickly, no experience needed for this one!
And the best part is that you don't need the Big Shot or your Heat Tool--it's truly simple and quick.
I used the Labels to Love stamp set with the Everyday Label punch--but I want to point out that the punch is part of a bundle with the Merry Little Labels stamp set---so there are two stamp sets designed to coordinate with this punch. Don't you love it when a punch has multiple uses?
I'm going to give you the very brief directions for this card followed by the supply list.
