need stamping ideas

[Keitha]

I want to stamp more on my layouts, but need some ideas for how to incorporate them onto the page. I've got everything from generic background-type stamps to specific themed ones. What techniques do you use/like? Do you have a Pinterest board of ideas?

Pam C had a challenge a few years ago to use your stamps to create a background. I just did a quick look and couldn't find it. Maybe she remembers? There were some great ideas there.

I've used stamps
to create a border along the edge of a page
to create a page embellishment
to create a frame around a photo
to create a page background
to create a journaling space on a page
to stramp the page title

When Club Scrap had the pro stampers bowl
there was always the challenge to use stamps
on a page, too bad their gallery is no longer
available, but there may be some posted on Pinterest
I know I tried to get my pages on before they disappeared

Thanks ladies, there are definitely some ideas here I'd forgotten about. I never remember that I have a couple of roller stamps, because of course they don't fit in with the UM stamp storage. I don't usually index my stamps as it's easy to flip through the box, but I will add an image of the roller stamps; maybe they'll even show up on a layout one day.

Oh yeah.... I've got some roller stamps that I should definitely get out of the box and make inky....

Elizabeth - I think I have used stamps for all of those too. Stamps can be so versatile. I remember one Club Scrap challenge was to use a stamp 3 times. That was fun.
