I love stamps because they are so versatile. Have I said that before? Yep, probably. What I disliked about stickers and papers was I might finally find something (a saying, picture, etc) that went with what I was working on, but it was in the wrong colors. For instance, all the softball papers and embellishments are pink. PINK! My daughter hates pink and none of her teams were pink. So when I started stamping and found the sports stamps, it was HEAVEN! I now can match every team color, because all I need to do is change the ink. I even make my own paper (the print on the paper, not the actual paper!). Just take cardstock and stamp multiple images.
This is a retired SU set. But you can see how it looks like printed paper and just adds to the page. And since this team was navy, the other page was white, so I stamped the images with white craft ink on the navy paper. So the two pages were mirrors of each other.
You can also use the stamps as embellishments. This is the For The Win set.
I used the football as both an embellishment and for the background, in versamark.
Trying to embellish boys pages is hard, so I love that the stamps add just enough flare to dress up the page without looking ridiculous. Try making your own paper or background when you can't find the right paper.
Hope you find this helpful. Come scrap with me at my monthly crop.
What will you make today?
