Did you know that you can quickly create 4 card fronts by randomly stamping up a 8.5″ x 11″ piece of cardstock?

I used a variety of Exclusive inks and the Floral Blooms Stamp set plus the little dotage stamp from the Background Elements stamp set & focused on stamping along the middle to form a cross. This way when it was cut up there was some stamping on two sides of each card front – quick & simple way to use your stamps to make some cards.

Silly me forgot to take a photo of how the background looked before I cut it up & decorated on the cards. But here is a photo of the background after I cut it up & with one of the backgrounds decorated.

I do have the process over on Tik Tok And on my Facebook Group if you want to see how I stamped this up.

I think the hardest part of this process besides deciding what colours of inks to use, is what to decorate the fronts with so you do not loose all the pretty stamping.

So my first card I used the Hello Fabulous Stamp set & focused on the hey there sentiment.

I did cut the hey there 3 times to build some layers, this also helped me to twist the leaves that I stamped & die cut out. I cut a trianglish shape of Periwinkle Cardstock and a thin strip of Lilac Cardstock & the banner from Mist Cardstock. The banner I randomly stamped the diamond stamps from the Hello Fabulous Stamp set as it needed some texture.

On the next card I cut up the background into some hexagons, seems a little strange that you create a background to only cut it up again to create a different background but I liked how it turned out.

I added some hexagons cut out of Peach Cardstock, stamped in Peach Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad with the Floral Blooms Stamp set. I did the same with Periwinkle Cardstock but misplaced my Periwinkle ink & used Wisteria Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad, which worked better than I expected.

Once I worked out where all the hexagons were going, I cut off any excess & added a For You Thin Cuts die in gold metallic cardstock.

For this Birthday Card I used the random stamped background as a pattern paper background layer.

I used the inner part of the Curved Rectangle Frame Thin Cuts and added some foam tape to raise the height. And added Periwinkle Cardstock cut out of the Pennant Thin Cuts to frame the flowers that I die cut out & coloured in from the Floral Blooms Stamp set. The sentiment added is from the You Deserve It All Stamp + Thin Cuts set.

And for my final card using the random stamped background I kept it simple.

I die cut out a circle in White Daisy Cardstock & a banner from Lilac Cardstock and added Periwinkle Cardstock cut out of the Pennant Thin Cuts for a little bit of detail. I used the Best Wishes Thin Cuts die & paired it with the happy Birthday sentiment from the You Deserve It All Stamp + Thin Cuts & finished off with some flowers & hand drawn doodle border.
