Big Stamps...Small Spaces



Hi everyone!
I am happy to be sharing a couple of projects
with you today...well, sort of.
I am happy to be sharing over on the 
Market Street Stamps blog today and to see
the finished card above, you'll need to make
a visit over there...and I hope you will!

I love using background stamps with
'faux-paper-piecing'
and that's what I've done with these
projects.  The one above features...

 

The Gingham Background from MSS.


This one features...


The Cane Background from MSS.
 
 
I think we are so used to thinking about using BIG backgrounds
only as backgrounds...and obviously, they fit into small spaces too!
I used the fab 'Autumn Greetings' set which is where this
great pumpkin & sentiment come from.  A hand-cut banner and a couple
of die cuts later, and we are done!

I hope you will make a visit to

 

Market Street Stamps and check out today's post
for all the details of these projects.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I love your Thanksgiving card, and even though I'm in Canada today, I'm thinkin' about Turkey Day tomorrow! Thanks for helping us think about new ways to use our background stamps -- always thinking!
