Triple the Fun!




I just saw this and had to try it! It is called triple stamping and I love the way it looks! Yes, dress it up with ribbon and a brad and it would be over the top, but I kept it simple so you could see the stamping effect. 

To make the card, cut your card base 8 1/2x 5 1/2 folded in half.
Cut two mats in the same color as your card base.
     4 1/2 x 3 1/4   and 3 1/2 x 2 1/4
Cut three pieces of cardstock that you plan to stamp on
     5 1/4 x 4,     4 1/4 x 3,    and 3 1/4 x 2

Take the pieces to stamp on, and using temporary adhesive, stack them from largest to smallest, keeping them centered.  Go ahead and stamp them - don't worry if there are gaps where the stamp goes from one piece to another. when you are done stamping, unlayer the pieces and remove the adhesive.  Now you can build your card, adding the mats.

Yes, now you know the secret, it looks really difficult but it is so easy!!! If you have any trouble, please contact me and I can help you make this card.

For this card I used Daffodil Delight cardstock to stamp on and Early Espresso as the card base. The stamp set is the July only special of Reason to Smile.
