Floral Triple Stamping- A Fun Technique

Hi Stampers! 

I was able to spend some more time crafting last night and wanted to create a card for the FM193 FloralTriple Layer Challenge and decided to use one of my favorite retired sets, Elements of Style along with Stampin’ Blendabilities™.

If you have not already visited the Friday Mashup! site, I hope you will do so- wonderful Design Team samples as well as the gallery of entries!!

To create this card:

Using Whisper White cardstock, create three squares- one 2x2, one 3x3 and one 4x4.  Layer and adhere the three together and stamp the floral image over the panels using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink (see the SplitcoaststampersTriple Stamping Tutorial here).  

Stamp a few additional flowers to use as accents on another piece of Whisper White cardstock.

Color the flowers using the Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy, Old Olive and  Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blendabilities™ Collections and add a few shadows with a Stampin' Write Crumb Cake marker.  

Apply Ranger® Tim Holtz® Vintage Photo Distress Ink to age the paper and stamp the Gorgeous Grunge large splatter stamp using Tim Holtz® Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Mount the individual squares onto Night of Navy cardstock and sponge additional Vintage Photo Distress Ink along the edges.

Use the Distressing Tool to distress the edges of the retired Newsprint Designer Series Paper (DSP) as well as a piece of Raspberry Lemonade DSP.   Layer the two pieces of distressed DSP onto a piece of Night of Navy cardstock and add the horizontal strip of the Raspberry Lemondade DSP- use a sewing machine to sew the panels together.

Mount the sewn background panel onto a Whisper White cardbase and add the ½ White Tea Lace Paper Doily to the side.  

Adhere the Triple Stamped panel on an angle along with the sentiment banner to the lower left hand side using Stampin’  Dimensionals®.

Fussy-cut the additional flowers and add to the side of the panel and  use a Faber-Castell White Pitt Pen to add highlights to the flower centers.

Adhere the Pearls to the upper right hand corner to finish off the card.

Stamp Sets: Elements of Style, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Gorgeous Grunge

Ink: Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy, Old Olive and  Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blendabilities™ Collections; Stampin' Write Crumb Cake Marker, Ranger® Tim Holtz® Vintage Photo Distress Ink; Faber-Castell White Pitt Pen

Triple Stamping- A New Technique for Me :-)

Hi Stampers!!

I hope all of you are doing well!  I wanted to create a card for the new Splitcoaststampers’ You CanDo It Challenge #10 Triple Stamping (see tutuorial here) and decided to use the lovely Pals Paper Arts PPA154 Colors plus this card also qualifies for the Splitcoaststampers’Try A New Technique TLC388 Triple Stamping/Seamless Layers.

   

If you have a chance, check out the Design Team Samples at the Pals Paper Arts- they are spectacular, not to mention all of the wonderful entries for the challenge!!  Plus the Triple Stamping Gallery at Splitcoaststampers shows you the variety that this technique allows- great examples and inspiration!

To create this card:

 I wanted to create an A2 card so I used layers of Whisper White cut 2” x 3”, 3’ x 4” and 4” x 5”.    Cut the Whisper White cardstock layers and using a removable adhesive, adhere the layers together in a graduating format. 

Using a Brayer, first layer Crumb Cake Classic Ink randomly over the graduated Whisper White layers and follow with Calypso Coral Classic Ink.  Ink the splatter stamp from French Foliage using Crumb Cake and randomly stamp over the layers, then ink the chosen stamps with Calypso Coral and again, randomly stamp the images. 

Using Raspberry Ripple Classic Ink, stamp the background from French Foliage over the layers and follow with the various stamps from the set to achieve the desired effect.

Close-Up of the layered effect- difficult to photograph the Shimmer Paint

Remove the layers and mount onto Crumb Cake cardstock.  Re-mount the layers and spray the entire panel with Champagne Shimmer Paint (paint mixed with 70% alcohol).  Adhere the entire panel onto a Raspberry Ripple card front.

Add the sentiment stamped onto Vellum (from my stash already with the deckle edge from years ago:-)), use the 1” Square Punch to create the banner points, add the ½” Crumb Cake Seam Binding Ribbon bow along with the Raspberry Ripple Dahlia accents to finish off the card.

I had fun with this technique- if you have the time, give it a try!  Limited supplies are needed so this technique is great for beginners as well as the experienced stamper!

Stamp Sets: French Foliage, Blessings from Heaven

Ink:  Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral, Raspberry Ripple

Paper: Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Raspberry Ripple, Vellum

Accessories: Brayer, ½” Crumb Cake Seam Binding Ribbon, Raspberry Ripple Dahlias, 1” Punch (for banner points), Champagne Shimmer Paint,  Deckle Edge Scissors (retired)
