Sometimes an image and a sentiment are too perfect like the flip flop stamps and sentiment from the June 2026 My Monthly Hero from Hero Arts. It has sold out but the idea still applies.
One way to use a small stamp is to use it several times creating a grid on the card. For my card, imagine nine boxes on the card front and place a die cut image in each box.
1. Stamp the sole of the flip flops from the June My Monthly Hero in a rainbow of Core Ink Colors. I usually chose a lighter ink for this. Clean stamp in between each color. Cut out with coordinating die. (Colors linked below)
2. Stamp the top piece of flip flops in a rainbow of Core Ink Colors. I usually used a darker ink color for this one. Cut out with coordinating die.
3. Adhere flip flop pieces together.
4. Stamp sentiment from June My Monthly Hero using Intensified Black Ink. Cut out with coordinating die.
5. Splatter the front of an A2 card base using Raven Splatter Effects.
6. Adhere sentiment in center of card using thin foam squares.
7. Adhere flips flops in a loose grid design with flip flops facing different directions.
8. Add small Hero Hues Enamel Dots to each flip flop. (Linked below)

Repetition as a design element is one of my big go-to moves. Love this card.
