Here are my 3 cards. This is a great way to look at all your stamps and to see how you can use them in different ways. Thanks for the challenge.

My first card I used it as a background.

Second as a focal, I messed up on this one and did 3 stamps cause the frame and sentiment are separate, I didn't realize till I was taking the picture.

Third one was hard but I ended up stamping the bird 6 times, cutting off the beak, legs and tail and putting a whole through it's eye to thread the brad through and made a flower.

This was a big challenge, but fun!

I decided to use a background stamp.  I love them, but don’t use them enough.

For the first card I used it for paper piecing:

The second, I used for layering stamps:

And the final card, I used it as it’s intended purpose, for a card front, but also used heat embossing and watercoloring with it.

This was a hard challenge for me BUT all three of these cards are getting mailed out PRONTO, so I definitely used it to get cards that I need.

Thanks for hosting!

Great cards, Connie and Heidi. 

Connie - that flower is a super clever way to use your bird stamp.

Heidi - I'm glad my challenge could help you get some needed cards finished.

It's really fun to see everyone's entries for this challenge.  Clever ways of using stamps.

I used a stamp with 3 dresses on a clothes line 3 ways.

1.  Masking off sections of the stamp to get 3 separate dresses.
Twist Pop-up

2.  Focal point of a clean and simple card.  Simply stamped and embossed. 
Simple Dresses

3.  Stamped and colored as part of a scene.

Thanks Sarah!  This was a fun challenge.  I think I've only used this stamp once before.

I made a card with the small balloon stamp as background.  Added a die cut of balloon and words.

Made another card with a huge stamp with lots of balloons.  I masked out the center balloons.  Stamped small four stamp on another paper, colored, pop dotted in the center.

And last one I combined with art four you.  It is a ATC with the same small four balloon stamp with another balloon combo of four balloons.  I pop dotted the largest of the balloons.  I put in a small frame and put it on a shelf.

Cindi, you really got more with less on your last card - using a pie for the laundry basket and a piece from April's challenge for the post.  Great job on all three cards.

Yankee, your trio of pieces came out great.  I really love the one with the black and white background.  So clever.
