Cascading Flowers Triple-Time Cards—I created my final In Color Club card design with a fun layering technique called triple-time stamping. Most of the time with this technique the background layers are all white, but I liked giving these cards a little twist by having progressively darker layers. Kind of a layered ombré effect!
Triple-Time Layers—I started by cutting the layers and corresponding mats with the following measurements:
- 2" x 3-1/4" Whisper White stamped layer
- 3" x 4-1/4" Pool Party stamped layer
- 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Bermuda Bay card base, folded in half
- 2-1/8" x 3-3/8" Dapper Denim mat
- 4-1/8" x 4-3/8" Dapper Denim mat
Triple-Time Stamping—I started by temporarily adhering all of the stamped layers onto the card base, without the mats. I just used a tiny dab of SNAIL in a couple places on the back. Then I stamped the Grateful Bunch images diagonally across all of the layers with Dapper Denim ink.
TIP: When stamping on an edge, push down firmly and evenly to ensure that you are stamping the entire image. It may help to have a Piercing Mat underneath your project for some give.
You can expect to see a very skinny white line of no stamping right next to the mat edges, but those will be covered up by the mats.
Triple-Layer Assembly—Next, I adhered each stamped layer to its corresponding mat. I wrapped the middle layer with some Dapper Denim Ruched Ribbon before popping up all the layers with Dimensionals.
See a Triple-Time Stamping Pictorial for a better visual of this technique.
Lovely Label—For the sentiment, I stamped a word from the Helping Me Grow stamp set in Dapper Denim onto a Whisper White die-cut created with the Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits. I also punched a Bermuda Bay banner shape with the Duet Banner Punch, cut it in half and adhered them to the ends of the label for a pretty layered banner. It's popped up with Dimensionals, too, and flanked with Rhinestone Jewels.
Two Cool—I tried a second version using the Falling Flowers stamp set for the cascading blooms, and another word from the Helping Me Grow stamp set.
I absolutely LOVE this fun layered stamping technique! You should try it if you haven't!
