Background stamps don’t have to stay in the background! Join me as I demonstrate how to transform the Stampin’ Up! Graceful Deer background stamp into the star of this elegant Christmas card. Using the triple stamping technique, I’ll show you how to add depth and dimension while keeping the design efficient for making multiples. Whether you’re a seasoned stamper or just starting out, this tutorial will inspire you to think outside the background. Don’t forget to tune in for tips, tricks, and festive crafting fun!
