Stretch Your Stamps With Carly Tee

I love finding ways to stretch my stamps to get more from my cardmaking supplies! And I find a good way to get more from a stamp is to actually use less of it, LOL!

Here's what I mean...Slow And Steady is a great stamp for a belated birthday card but it also makes a lovey card by stamping off the edge so just Mr. Sloth is on the card (sorry Mr. Turtle).

I also did some masking to omit the flag he's holding. I call it "lazy girl masking"...I just place some low-tack tape on the actual stamp, covering what I don't want before inking. Then I ink it up, remove the tape and stamp.

To complete my card, I added some glittered hearts made from cardstock inked pink with glimmer paste on top. And a layered die cut sentiment with 3 die cuts adhered together & Glossy Accents on top.
