Thursday 3 ways...

 

2021 brings plenty of new reasons to stamp lovely cards for friends, neighbours, co‑workers, and anyone you know who could use a little cheer and encouragement. And I think we all know that we all need lots of that at the moment...  And if you keep your stamping simple... you will have tons of cards to give away in no time!

In fact, if you CASE the cards you see here, you’ll be halfway there! Interest has been added to these easy‑to‑make cards in three ways... Adhered Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper strips at different angles for the You Did It card  Stamped directly onto the Oh So Ombre  Designer Series Paper for the Cue the Confetti and Whale Done cards.  And just check out social media boards or thumb through the catalogue for many more ideas to CASE (Copy & Share Everything or Everywhere!) And even better... Oh So Ombre paper can be yours for free during the Sale A Bration promotion...

Thursday Triple Time Tropical Stamping... with Tutorial

Haven't done one of these Triple Time Stamped (aka Triple Layer or Triple Time or just Triple Stamped) cards for years!! But seemed like the right time... with the right stamp set, Tropical Chic! Aided and abetted again by Friendly Expressions

Though I have done a couple of things slightly differently this time around... as...

(1) I have used different colour mats/card base... which adds variety and is a bit more subtle than using just the one colour for all the layers... So the card base and inner mat are in Soft Sea Foam... and the middle mat is in Lemon Lime Twist...

(2) I have embossed the three stamped panels with the wonderful Subtle embossing folder to add texture... which immediately makes the finished card look and feel more luxury! Though it is impossible for you to see this... so just trust me on this point!!!

I embossed all 3 whilst they were still temporarily adhered... very quick and simple that way! But do note that they do then stick together quite well (even with the temporary glue!)... so you do need to take more care separating the layers before adhering to the cardstock panels...

Stamping in Soft Sea Foam, Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green... What a gorgeous selection of greens...
