Small stamps can sometimes be tricky to use in cardmaking. In this video I’m sharing three creative ideas for turning small stamped images into beautiful handmade cards.
Using the Printmaking Clovers stamp set from Simon Says Stamp, I demonstrate three different layout techniques that work with any small images in your stamp collection. While the cards in this video have a St. Patrick’s Day theme, the same ideas can be used for floral stamps, holiday stamps, tiny critters, and other small images.
In this tutorial you will learn how to:
• Create a frame using small stamped images
• Build a clean and modern grid card layout
• Arrange small images into a custom shape
• Add dimension with heat embossing
• Combine layered stamping with die cuts and sentiments
These simple techniques make it easy to turn small stamps into full card designs and are perfect for creating handmade cards for many occasions.
Supplies used in this video include layered stamps, coordinating dies, embossing powder, and ink blending colors to create colorful clover images.
Whether you're making St. Patrick’s Day cards, friendship cards, or everyday handmade cards, these layout ideas will help you get more use from your small stamp sets.
