Today I found another new (at least new to me) stamping technique to try, Triple Time Stamping. Another Stampin' Up!® demonstrator, Dawn Olchefske, has a great video tutorial for Triple Time Stamping on her blog. After I watched her video, I pulled out one of my older stamp sets and made this card:
Supplies (all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Balmy Breezes, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Card stock: Very Vanilla, Soft Suede
Ink: Soft Suede, Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss
Accessories: Hemp twine, button (unknown), Dotto repositionable adhesive, Dimensionals
Isn't that fun? And it was easy, too. In a nutshell, you layer together just the three light card stock pieces (I used Very Vanilla) with a bit of adhesive and stamp them at the same time. Then you take them apart, mat each light piece with a contrasting color of card stock and reassemble the layers. The measurements for the stamped layers are: 2" x 3-1/4", 3" x 4-1/4" and 4" x 5-1/4". The mat layers are: 2-1/4" x 3-1/2", 3-1/4" x 4-1/2" and 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" (this is the card base). If you need any clarification, check out Dawn's video in the link above.
I love these colors together, and when combined with this stamp set I can almost imagine sitting on a lounge chair by the beach enjoying the salty sea breeze and reading a book. (I'd much rather be doing the real thing than just imagining, but I guess I'll take what I can get. Sigh.) I added some hemp twine, which I almost always include on "beachy" cards because it has the perfect look and feel, and a great button for a little embellishment. (I think the button is from an estate sale, and it's a bit thicker than what I would usually use on a card. But it seemed to work so well; I'll just have to mail this card in a padded envelope.)
I also stamped a few images on the inside of the card to continue the theme. I did stamp these images on scratch paper before stamping them in the card so they are light enough to write over.
Thanks for stopping by!
Great job Andrea. Thanks for the shoutout!
