TRIPLE TIIME STAMPING

Hi Stampers,

A popular layout these days is the one I am sharing today.  You may be wondering how to get those stamped butterflies to line up like that.   It may look complicated but it is really quite simple.  The name Triple Time Stamping explains it all -- stack and stamp all 3 layers at once, mat each layer and WOW!  


To make this card, you will need:
stamp sets:  Elements of Style, Nature Walk,     Papillion Potpourri
card stock:  Night of Navy, Whisper White
inks:  Night of Navy, Pool Party, So Saffron
tools:  Elegant Butterfly punch
other:  Dazzling Details (for just a touch of sparkle), Snail adhesive, Stampin' dimensionals


I love how the colors and images all work together, and hope you will give this technique a try.  

Inkingly yours,
Trish

GRATEFUL HEART

Hi Stampers!
For many, Labor Day weekend marks the end of summer; soon plans will be made for fall events.
But my husband Lou and I have even more to celebrate early every September -- our anniversary.  Yesterday we marked 34 years of marriage, and I thank the Lord for bringing this dear man into my life.

And of course that calls for a special card.  Lou likes all kinds of cards, but this year I wanted to do something a little different, but still on the simple side.   Here's what I came up with:

He loved the rugged carved heart tree look and I am so pleased!

To make this card, you will need the following:
Occasions Alphabet set; Naturals Ivory and Very Vanilla card stock; Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Early Espresso pads and Stampin' Write Markers; Woodgrain textured folder;  Hearts framelits; Big Shot; Full Heart punch; stampin' sponges and dimensionals

"Wood" you like to learn how to add colorize your dry embossed backgrounds?  Contact me to arrange a private class.

 Every day is a day to celebrate!  Thanks for stopping by.

WEDDING WISHES

Hi Stampers,
Recently a friend told me she needed cards for 3 upcoming weddings. We spent yesterday morning visiting and crafting.  Her end cards are like the one below. Inside we added a designer strip to hold a gift card added another piece of vanilla card stock for her stamped and personalized message to each couple.

Stamp with Trish, www.teachertrish@gmail.com


For this card we used:  Bashful Blue, Night of Navy, Basic Gray, and Very Vanilla card stock; Night of Navy classic ink pad; Petite Pairs stamp set; Perfect Polka Dots textured impressions folder; Big Shot; stampin' dimensionals; Paper Piercer and mat; 1/2", Ribbon, Scallop Oval and Large Oval punches and the Mini Punch pack.  Put them all together and VOILA! a beautiful card, easily reproduced.  Changing out the colors to match those of the wedding adds a most personalized touch.

What do you think?

Craftingly yours,
Trish

PERFECTLY PRESERVED

Hi Stampers!
Hope your weekend was a lovely one.  We were visited with rain both Friday and Saturday, which was a welcome relief in the midst of the drought, but yesterday the sun and the heat returned and the AC went back on.  Someday, autumn will come.

In the meantime, I can dream of canning and make cards like this one my club did recently featuring our Perfectly Preserved stamp set from the Holiday Catalog.

The jar, cap, pear and leaf were all die cut using our new Cannery framelits and the Big Shot.

The paper strips are from our Orchard Harvest designer series paper pack.  Stampin' Up!'s coordinated inks, papers, stamps and dies makes designing cards and crafts fun and easy.  Here I used More Mustard, Lucky Limeade, Raspberry Ripple, Early Espresso, and Whisper White.

A little bow of  white Baker's Twine and your card is good to go.  Love it!


Be sure to visit my website for more great crafting ideas.

Until the next time,  happy stamping!
Trish
