Today I want to show you what to do with stamps to make that themed paper we all run to the Stamp Store in search of. For example I have a set with Firefighter images and words so I would have to go look for a piece of Designer Paper to match. Just don't have that kind of time, live and hour away from most places and I never know what paper to pick up for future stamps coming to make the trip worth while so here is what I do. These are cards I have shown before so you may have seen them.
It's really easy and you can choose to use whatever colors you want for the inks and the card stock. I opened my stamp drawer and just grabbed a set. I'll be working with Holly Jolly Greetings for this example.
I took one of the small stamps and randomly stamped on my piece of card stock.
Then I added another stamp. Here are two different examples. One with colors and one with blacks.
Now I added color to the images.
And now to the background using a sponge.
Here is the other one.
Santa looks great with both of them.
Now I'm ready to make my card and I didn't need to run to the store for Christmas paper.
