Cross-Stamp-Stitching with Savannah O'Gwynn

Hello, friends:}

Savannah O'Gwynn here, and in today's QUICK video I share how to create different images using a single Paper Smooches stamp and a cross-stitching pattern. I call this technique "Cross-Stamp-Stitching"!!! This means that we are cross-stitching with stamps! 

Here's the video:

Here's a couple of pictures of my cross-stamp-stitching creations:
