Make Your Own Background - Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

THIS WEEK’S THEME AT THE

 Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

We are Making Your Own Background

    Featuring stamps and dies by

Paper Rose Studio

You do not have to use the featured company to join in.

But… If you have some of their product in your stash

We would LOVE to see them used.

Here is my take on this challenge.

My stamp set of choice for this challenge is:

Little Presents and Sentiments by Paper Rose Studio

When I saw this cut little stamp set, I thought it would be perfect for

A repetitive stamped background.

I decide to get out 2 clear stamping blocks and just go for it!

On one clear block I placed the presents.

On the second clear block I placed the sentiment.

I got out some white cardstock and just started stamping.

I love this kind of stamping, there is no preconceived ideas, you just stamp.

I stamped several pages of card stock until I came up with a pattern that I liked.

To make the card front I used the Stitched Rectangles Dies by Simon Says Stamp.

Since there is a whole lot of print going on the card front, I decided on an old school idea

of a peephole in the card front. This would be a cool place to

add some color with fussy-cut presents and a sentiment.

Peepholes are easily made by just die cutting out a section of card front.

For this I used Nesting Circle Wafer Dies by Simon Says Stamp.

Next, I create a card base using Black Black8 Card Stock by Simon Says Stamp.

Once my card front and base were glued together, I add on my fussy-cut and colored presents.

I Also added on a bright red sentiment banner.

This completes my take on Making Your Own Background
