It's Kelly here with a fun way to get more from your stamps!
Before we get started I just wanted to remind you about our current challenge. Topsy Turvy: Using a sentiment as something other than a sentiment. Talk about possibilities!
and you could win a gift card to Simon Says Stamp. How awesome is that?
Okay let's get into it shall we?
We all also have those stamps that are perfectly clean. These poor stamps have never known the sweet love of a juicy inkpad, am I right?!
Today I'm going to help you fix that, for a few little stamps.
Here's our first card
So I know what your thinking . . .Do they have new stamps I've never seen before?! Super secret squirrel stamps that only the design team members get?!
Nope. These aren't new stamps. I'm willing to bet you even own these stamps already. What am I talking about you ask? I'll show you :)
Holy Smokes! Those stamps? Who uses those stamps? . . . . I do :) and hopefully now you can see ways to use them too.
Just to prove it wasn't a fluke I made you all a card set with these little stamps.
These little guys can pack a big punch! Creating a focal point with these little guys is pretty easy once you get started :) They are also wonderful for adding patterns to your other stamps. As a card maker I know I'm always looking for small patterns to use and these stamps are perfect to create your own.
Thanks for visiting us today! I hope I have inspired you to use ALL your stamps, even the little guys :)

Brilliant post, Kelly! I love how you made the stamps WORK for you... I wouldn't think to use those tiny leaves on their own, but good grief, just draw a branch and there you go! Sometimes I forget the obvious. LOL Thanks for the great inspiration! :)

Cute cards, Kelly! What a great idea! I'm so impressed at how well you stamped these tiny little images with perfect placement! Awesome job! :)

Beautiful samples of how the "little guys" can pack a punch! Thanks for sharing! Love ALL of the cards, Kelly!
I have lots of stamps that I can look at in different ways to see what's not so obvious! All these cards are adorable and you didn't have to go buy new stamps to create them! Thanks for a great suggestion and when you think about it, many Hero Arts stamps are perfect for this!!!

I love these cards, Kelly! Thanks for the inspiration and calling our attention to those little unused gems of stamps!!
This was a really great tutorial! I very often forget fabulous little stamps!
