Yes, it is possible to create a full size card using 2 very tiny stamps, especially if you create a very cool word-border feature, like I have here, with the partial diecutting technique. Sure, you can buy dies especially to make this type of border, but this techniques creates yet another use for your word dies (shaped dies work brilliantly too!). So let’s play with Mama Elephant today, specifically Little Cat Agenda, Hello Script die and Three Amigos.
I have also created a custom background using Distress Inks on watercolour paper, and you can see the entire card from start to finish in the video below. Meanwhile, here’s a list of all the materials I used.
