Get well soon postage collage - How to make the most of your smallest stamps

Hello everyone ! Lounon here !

Today, I'm going to show you how to make the most of your smaller stamp sets. We typically use the smaller stamps for sentiments or little accents, but today, I’ve decided to use the Get Well Soon Postage Collage Stamps set on its own to create my entire card.

Pinpoint Squares Dies

Pinpoint Circles Dies

First, I used the two little bandage stamps to make a wreath. You have three ways to do it. You can use the LDRS Pirouette Pattern Templates. You can also, if you have one, use a rotating stamping platform. Finally, if you can't use the first two options, stamp them manually, you can trace a circle with a compass to help you align them.

Then, I used two circles (3 1/8" and 1 1/4" = 8cm and 3.2 cm) from the Pinpoint Circles Dies to frame my wreath.

After that, I cut a 4" (10.2 cm) square with one of my Pinpoint Squares Dies. I stamped various stamps from the set with black ink. I had a little accident with my stamp on the middle of the card, but luckily for me, it won't show at the end since this part will be covered.

I also stamped the round sentiment.

I colored all my little images. I kept the coloring simple, you just want to add a little bit of color and depth. I used a circle die to cut the round sentiment (the one from the Postage Collage Dies is perfect for it). I used the circle die multiple times on thick cardstock and glued them behind my round sentiment to add depth.

I put foam behind my circle frame and glued it on my square. I glued the round sentiment in the middle.

Finally, I matted and layered my card with a bigger blue square.
