Stretch Those Stamps!

Hello and Happy Friday! It’s Jennifer here and I wanted to share a fun way to stretch your stamps.

I love using stamps in ways other than they were originally intended. It is a great way to get more bang for your buck! Today’s card was created using these three holiday stamps…

However, I used them to create a cheerful, non-holiday card…

One great way to get more out of your stamps is to use greetings in creative ways. Here, I used only the “HAPPY” from the New Years message. I then used it to cover up “MERRY” in the decorative circle label.

Fun, isn’t it? And easy, too!

Hope this inspires you to use your holiday stamps for everyday greetings. Happy stamping!
