Once,twice, three times a layer

I had a request from one of my regular customers for a technique class using the triple time stamping method, so this week's technique class featured 5 different cards using this method or variations of it.

The idea is to stamp over more than one layer of cardstock and then you mat each individual piece onto co-ordinating card before sticking your image together. Often when you first stamp, you will find there is a border around the card where the stamp didn't make perfect contact with the layer underneath, but once you have added your mat of card, this is covered up.

This card has a background image and lots of detail

A clean and simple design using "Lovely as a Tree" and offsetting the panels.

Some heat embossing on this card.

This card has overlapping layers that decrease in size.

The layers on this card overlap at right angles.

Five very different cards, but all using the same basic technique - and if there is a special technique, or card fold, or product that you would like to focus on, I am always happy to take suggestions.

I hold a technique class once a month, so wht not come along and join us.
