Repeated Stamping

          Its the beginning of a new month and it also means its time for a new challenge at ICR(ICRC27).This month the theme is to do a ONE LAYER CARD + REPEATED STAMPING!...Isn't that awesome.
Basically One Layer Card means it should just be a base card... you cannot have any layers on it.
           I know many of you who are stampers will love this challenge.For some it might be difficult to keep the card one layer if they love to add embellishments.Since it is a one layer we cannot add any. No additional card stock for sentiments or any thing else.Texture can be added on the card base by doing Embossing (Wet or dry), piercing holes in the card base etc.I played with my stamps and this is what I came up with for the design team inspiration.

I took a square stamp with a little design on it and stamped it like a patchwork design  and added a scroll stamp  and used watercolors on the butterfly.
Hope you all like it and would love to hear your comments.

Triple Time Stamping Tutorial

   Hi All… Hope all of you are ready to do some fun stuff today. We are going to learn how to do Triple Time Stamping .Does it sound complicated…It might but I assure you it’s not…Its so much fun once you get the hang of it. It’s really simple to do just make sure your measurements are right and your layering is perfect…rest all is easy.

      Things you need on hand:

• ·                     2 sheets of cardstock .
• ·                A big stamp…This technique will not show if you use small stamps.
• ·                     Ink Pad…I have used Versamark black stamp pad
• ·                    Glue or tape
• ·               Sticky dots for Dimension(Not required if you just want to glue the layers)
•              Paper Trimmer

·                 

 Measurements:

You will cut total 6 pieces including base card:

·        Layer 1 Black base card: 5 ½”*8 ½” fold it in half. So you will have 5 ½”*4 ¼”

·        Layer 2    Black   4 ½”*3 ¼”

·        Layer 3    Black   3 ½”*2 ¼”

·        Layer 1    White  5 ¼*4 "

·        Layer 2    White  4 ¼”*3”

·        Layer 3    White  3 ¼* 2”

Just Layer them and see if you got everything right .Do not stick anything yet. I am showing it so that you know how it is supposed to look.

Layer all the whites. Be careful and align them correctly because if you mess up here your images will not match. It’s a good idea to use a little bit of sticky tape to the center of the pieces so that they don’t move. Please do not use so much that they will not even come apart later.

Once you stamp your image on all the three layers at the same time, mount them on the black cardstock and you are ready to layer them. You can use sticky dots to layer them if you want to give dimension otherwise glue will work just fine.

And Your card is Ready:)

Hope you all enjoyed my tutorial. Would love to hear your comments. I saw this technique on Stampin with Donna and wanted to share with you all so I wrote this tutorial.Hope you all liked it.
