No more boring card bases once you learn how to create a stamp-happy background! This hand-stamping technique will transform your cards into a more visually appealing option and save you from needing as many supplies to make a card.

Typically, when we stamp, we focus on the focal image of the card. For today’s card, we are going to make the entire card look a little more awesome, a little more WOW, by simply stamping all over the card itself—inside and out. It’s simple and fun!

Love the cards. Not crazy about the color combination of the masculine card. Great idea to create custom backgrounds. I have a 3 ring binder labeled Connie’s Cards. Been collecting your free downloads for a long time. Refer to it often. Also, your enthusiasm is contagious. Stay strong! Dorcas Van Horn
