You know those big collage stamps everyone has? I don't like big stamps because my hands aren't that big so they're uncomfortable, so I made my own collage stamp for this challenge. I just took a bunch of the greetings in Star Studded Season and used my Stamp a ma Jig to put them all over.
Then to show you the real genius of this simple challenge, I dressed it up with a gorgeous 3D ornament I made with my Spellbinders Heirloom Ornament die set. I just arranged them, nested, on my magnetic mat and ran it though the Wizard a few times to get the multiples I needed for this ornament. The paper is Candy Cane Christmas from SU and has this fun glittery stripe on one side.
What's cool about this is that it will totally fold flat for mailing and be just as pretty when it arrives!

Folding flat, now that is a neat idea - it looks fabulous. And your way of collage stamps also solves the problem of inking those big surfaces up evenly .

This is over-the-top SUPER GORGEOUS! I love, love, love your stamped background....WOW! I also love the beautiful ornament. And the fact that it can be folded flat for mailing is awesome. This is really fantastic. No wonder it's featured in the Favorite's Thread today!
