Hello dear blog friends! Is it just me or has this month absolutely flown by already? I remember when I was little and my Grandma would tell me that time goes by faster as you get older. I didn't believe her then, but I sure understand what she meant now. Our last challenge of January at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown is "Triple Time Stamping". I absolutely love using this technique. Here's what I came up with:
Supplies (all from Stampin Up!): Cardstock: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke.
Stamps: Bells and Boughs (card front), Welcome to Bethlehem (sentiment inside).
Even though I kept it pretty simple - this technique produces stunning results. I just used 3 larger layers for my card, but you could use more layers and/or smaller layers to get an even different look.
To get the two colors on the flowers I inked up my stamp with SU markers (Riding Hood Red and Cherry Cobbler for the flowers, Always Artichoke for the boughs). Then I added some bling to the middle of the poinsettias which created a gorgeous pop of texture and subtle elegance. Seriously, I am so happy with how this turned out. I wish the pictures showed how pretty this really is IRL! Here's a couple more from different angles:
and of course the sentiment on the inside:
If you haven't tried it before - now is a great time to give it a go. The DT over at 52CCT has prepared some cards using this technique that will knock your sox off :o) Go check it out won't you - and leave them some love while your at it? I hope you will decide to join us this week and share you Christmas card creations using this fabulous technique. Til next time... hugs and happy crafting.
Wow I love your take on this-a fab CAS approach to this-thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful! So elegant and I adore the touch of bling in the centre of the poinsettia! I do like this more CAS version of triple stamping - endless possibilities.

ReplyDeleteLove the 'off the edge' style of your triple time stamping Danielle, and the inside too!

ReplyDeleteWowsers Danielle - this is fabulous! I love that you've used different sized panels and the corner stamping is wonderful! I'm so glad you've shown that a more CAS approach can work so well with this technique! This has such a clean and uncluttered feel but is so stylish too!

I certainly know what your grandma meant Danielle! I love your triple stamp card where you've left plenty of white space in the centre. This is quite a versatile technique! Vicky x
