Basically, you stamp all over a piece of cardstock, then cut it into different pieces for multiple projects. The trick is to make it look like a piece of fabric; stamping so that your images face in all different directions, and putting enough images on so that when you cut it up, that the pieces will have enough of the images so that they are readable. I like to use one image stamp, one shape stamp and one filler stamp, then fill in with sponging.
There are a number of different templates out there for this; some for gift items, some for scrapbooking. I've attached the templates I developed for both. This technique, by the way, is also sometimes called double-time. Enjoy!
