Do you sit down to play with your craft supplies with no intention of making anything? I do, all the time. It takes the pressure off and often you'll come up with creative ideas for using your stamps and supplies. I recently purchased and received Half and Half stamp set. While playing around with the stamps, I realized they would probably fit pretty well with all of the Mat Stack dies.
I cut a few of each out of some scrap paper to try them out and when I did I came up with this frame. I decided I could probably make a cool background pattern out of it, so I gave that a try and really loved the result!
Make a date to play around with your stamps.
You'll be glad you did:)

Thank you for the inspiration. I might just make a play date for my new stamps & it might just kick my mojo into gear!
That IS a fabulous background paper! It would be fun to use stamps to print sheets of gift wrap - lovely for small gifts.... could even personalise for the recipient. Ooo I might just try that.
Pretty card! Like your idea to just 'play around' with the images from our stamp sets. Love the background you created.
I love the colors. And playing around with my scrap stuff, I don't do it nearly enough. The black ribbon is a great pop on your card!
Very clever. Looks like the possibilities are almost endless.

Well aren't you just clever. I love the background this made. I agree that we all need to just sit and play more often. Seems like everytime I sit down I'm on a mission. Thanks for the inspiration.
