Background stamps, I think, are one of the easiest ways to make a fast card background. You can make them beautiful all sorts of different ways but I love using Lindy’s Magicals and plain water. The powders have lots of pretty sparkle and different colors show up like magic when they get wet. This was a fast project and certainly would be a good one for making bulk cards.

If you visit a store and what you want is out of stock, be sure and ask to be notified by email when the item is back in stock. It’s usually quite quick and always worth the wait. 😉
Thanks for hanging out with me!
Remember, if mailing a card with layers and embellishments in the United States, be sure and buy “non-machinable” postage, (about $1.00 in the US and $1.30 from US to International addresses) so your cards don’t get smooshed in the USPS postal machines. Hand deliver to the USPS and tell them to “hand cancel” or be sure and write “non-machinable” on the front of the envelope if you’re leaving it in your mailbox for pick up.
