Using Holiday Stamps for Other Occasions
Hi readers! Happy Sunday! I’m delighted to have Yana Smakula back on the blog today as a guest! She is really getting creative with this Gifts of Love stamp set to make Birthday cards! I love the background pattern she made with the Christmas tree stamp and Duckling Ink! Genius!! The Birthday Circle die really brought the whole design together, and the perfect way to polish off a card? Some pretty Clear Droplets of course!
Don’t forget to watch the video tutorial, and enjoy!

Thanks for sharing and encouraging us to ‘think outside the box’ when choosing a stamp!
Yana always has such great ideas.
Fabulous idea! Love to mix up those stamps for other uses – thanks for sharing and have a blessed week!
Love the cards, what a great idea on using the stamps for backgrounds on other cards. I will have to go thru my stash and see which ones I can do this with, thanks for sharing
Wow – great cards using holiday stamps – genius!
Terrific ideas for making your own pattern papers using stamps!!! Love this! The cards are awesome :)
I would have thought to use the critter and the presents, but I would not have thought to use the other images to make backgrounds. That’s amazing! Wow, so cool!
Yana, GREAT use for seasonal stamps!! Can’t wait to try this with mine
Yeah!! These are my favorite posts…using things you already have in a different way! Thanks (as always) for all the inspiration Yana!!
Very cute and great use of stamps. I would not have thought of using the tree for a background that doesn’t look at all Christmasy for this card.
Such cute cards! Great tip to revisit seasonal stamps and use them all year.
Love your work, Yana. And your videos are always such a joy and inspiration to listen to.

What cute birthday cards! Thanks for the great video and great ideas to get more from our stamps. I have so many stamps and I feel I need to use them more in as many ways as possible. However, SSS and other great companies keep coming out with new stamps to entice us….so what am I to do? LOL! :)
Very cute!
Yana, you rocked it again!! Love the clear droplets to accent the card especially!!
That image works perfectly for birthday cards! Great idea – and wonderful job!
