3 Creative Ways to Use Your Background Stamps for Unique Cards

Hello Crafters! How are you? Today I’m sharing some really pretty cards with techniques for creative ways to use your background stamps. I show how pretty this is just stamped and coloured, but then also show an inky heat embossing technique and a card where I’ve cut into it to create embellishments. I did this because I know that some people are put off buying background stamps because they feel as though they’re a one-trick pony, so I hope this gives you some new ideas for how to use yours!

Check out the video below to see the tutorial for all of these cards, then scroll to the bottom of the post to find links to the supplies you will need to create it!
