DT: Kingston Crafts – holiday background stamps

Having background stamps like this set from Kingston Crafts that cover an entire card front as game changers – even better when they cover a 5×7 card front – as it means you can decorate the whole of a card without the need for patterned papers or extra layers.

I means you can keep designs simple like this one – with the full Kraft card blank embossed with the gold snowflakes and then added a panel I stamped with the trees as a bit of contrast.

Then all it needed was the die cut sentiment and some die cut stats as embellishments.

Whilst I don’t normally mind layers, sometimes you want to keep the weight and thickness down to make postage a little cheaper – so being able to stamp the background directly on the card blank is a great way to jazz it up without extra weight/dimension.

And of course embossing is a glorious way to use the stamps!

Happy crafting!
