Flourishing Anniversary

 Pacific Point and Early Espresso complement each other so well, I decided to marry them. You can see how they bring out the best in each other on this triple-layered anniversary card. What do you think?

   All Year Cheer III

Paper:

   Pacific Point A-2, 4-1/2 x 3-1/4, 3-1/2 x 2-1/4

First, cut all of your paper to size.

Then gather the 3 Whisper White panels and adhere them using temporary adhesive. 

Keeping them together stamp your sentiment in the center using Pacific Point.

Then stamp the flourishes around it using Early Espresso. 

After stamping, place the sheets in the Square Lattice Embossing folder and dry emboss them.

Carefully remove each one and adhere it using permanent adhesive to the correct Pacific Point matting.

These are then adhered to the Pacific Point card base. The last Whisper White panel is adhered to the inside of the card.

You can find explicit instructions and a video for the Triple Layering Technique at SplitCoastStampers at triple stamping. I did change the measurements to fit my own card.

Thanks for All

 Triple Layering is a technique that will give your card dimension. It looks great and is quite easy. It does take some time to cut all of the layers needed. Here is my card with some great fall colors. Thoughts?

Stamps:
   For All Things

Paper:
   Crushed Curry A-2
   Rich Razzleberry 5-1/4 x 4, 4-1/2 x 3-1/4, 3-3/4 x 2-1/2
   Very Vanilla 5 x 3-3/4, 4-1/4 x 3, 3-1/2 x 2-1/4

Ink:
   Crushed Curry
   Cajun Craze
   Old Olive
   Soft Suede

Technique:
   Triple Layering

Accessories:
   Linen Thread
   Chocolate Chip Corduroy Button
   Glue Dots
   Temporary Adhesive
   Adhesive

I first cut all of the cardstock I needed.

Then I put the three layers of Very Vanilla together with a dab of temporary adhesive. You just want to make sure they do not move as you stamp on them.

Next, I stamped all of my images randomly on the layers. I did begin first with the sentiment to make sure it was centered and clear of the other images.

Leaves were stamped in Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, and Old Olive. Acorns were stamped with Soft Suede, along with the sentiment.

I then carefully took the layers apart and matted them with the correct size of Rich Razzleberry.

These were then adhered on top of each other aligning the images. These were then glued onto the Crushed Curry card base.

I then threaded some linen thread through my Chocolate Chip Corduroy Button and tied a bow. This was attached with glue dots.

Flower Garden

This is an all occasion card to give to the person who likes flowers. I decided to just randomly stamp flowers and color them. The inside of the card is intentionally left blank for your own personal message.

Stamps: Bloom with Hope

Paper: Pacific Point A-2, 4 1/2 x 3 1/4, 3 1/2 x 2 1/4, Whisper White 5 3/8 x 4, 3 x 4 1/4, 3 1/4 x 2

Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento

Blendabilities: Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy, Pumpkin Pie, Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana, Soft Suede

Technique: Triple Layering, Dry Embossing

Accessories: Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Temporary and Permanent Adhesive

To get the triple layering effect you must glue the Whisper White card stock with temporary glue. Stamp it and color the images. Then run it through your embossing machine using the Square Lattice embossing folder. You then carefully pull the card stock apart. The largest piece adheres to the card base. You then add the pacific point to the other two pieces and glue them onto the card aligning the images.

I do like the texture that the embossing folder adds to the card. Remember you can use this technique with any stamp set you have available.

Thank you so much for stopping by here. Let me know if you need anything. I appreciate your feedback.

HAPPY STAMPING!

The Open Sea

Need a masculine card?  Here you go. The Open Sea stamp set is very versatile.  Although it is one that can be used for our male population, it will also fit any traveling occasion or new beginning. Any type of new adventure or endeavor can be commemorated with this stamp set. The technique I used here is known as triple layering. I have no idea who came up with this, but I love it and think it is genius! 

First, you cut out your white card stock into the three sizes used. Measurements appear below. Using a dab of temporary glue, you glue the three pieces of white card stock together centering one on top of the other. Using Pacific Point classic ink, stamp the ship in the center of the card stock.  Using Chocolate Chip classic ink, stamp the other images randomly around the ship as you like. Next, you want to dry emboss the white card stock. I used the Square Lattice folder to try to create a choppy kind of background. You may use any folder you deem is fitting, or choose to skip the dry embossing altogether. Now, carefully take the three white card stock pieces apart and affix the two top pieces to their Pacific Point counterparts. Make sure that you are aligning the images together to create that 3-D effect. Take the Cherry Cobbler baker's twine and wrap it around these two pieces.  Insert the twine through the neutral colored button. I used a glue dot to make sure the button would stay in place. Then you double knot the twine and trim it to your liking. You then place these two pieces onto the third and final layer of your card stock, and you are done! If you want your images to pop out more, you can use dimensionals in between the layers. Now, fill in the inside of the card and make someone smile today!
