Sale-A-Bration Delicate Dahlias Stamp Set - Triple Time Stamping technique

Hello Stampers! I was in the studio playing with the new Delicate Dahlias stamp set and I'm in love! wow the floral images are fantastic.  I do not make a lot of floral cards, bit this will be a new favorite. 

The image is perfect for Triple Time Stamping. Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Dawn Olchefske, who happens to be my sister, coined the term some 10 years ago. The technique is still relevant and creates gorgeous cards. Here is a link to Dawn's Video  which has all of the measurements and instructions to create this beautiful card.

First step is to cut your white or vanilla paper layers and stamp. I am stamping a background image before stamping the flowers. This is optional, but helps fill in 'white space'. I used the large handwriting image from the Very Versailles stamp set in Crumb Cake on Very Vanilla paper. You can see I have my 3 layers set on top of each other. As Dawn suggested, I used a small amount of adhesive to keep them in place. (sorry for the  poor photo, I was not at my photo box at the time)


Next, I applied the beautiful Dahlia image in Petal Pink ink. The floral image looks good, but when you add the layers of paper, it really makes the images 'bloom' off the paper. 


I used Crumb Cake card stock for my layers. With the softness of these colors, I decided to make this a Sympathy card and added the sentiment from the Dahlia stamp set and die cut it with one of the dies from Stitched So Sweetly. Lastly, I added the Gold etched ribbon. 


Next I decided to make the same card, only I used Blackberry Bliss and Basic White Card stock - wow you can really see that image with the darker ink. I decided to make this a card for a wedding or shower with the Best Wishes sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set and die cut with the a die from the Tasteful Labels set. A touch of simple gold cord was also added from the Simply Elegant Trim. 


I hope you give this technique a try. The Delicate Dahlia Stamp set is free when you purchase $100 or more in products during Sale-A-Bration, which ends September 30.

C.A.S.E - Copy And Share Everything

Did you know that the Stampin' Up! catalog is a great resource for paper crafting ideas? Also, when you search Pinterest and find ideas from other demonstrators/crafters, and make the same project with minor changes, giving them credit for the idea is also a great compliment and recognizes their talent. 

Did you know that there is a PDF with recipes of the cards from each of the catalogs? Here is a link to the PDF with the sample recipes  2021-sab-sample-recipe-list If you ever wonder what products are used from a catalog example, just let me know and I can send you a link to the recipe details of the other catalogs.

Page 5 of the Sale-A-Bration catalog was the idea for my card. I made a few slight modifications to work with the product I have on hand. 


Below is the card I made. I did fussy cut the animals from the Penguin Playmates DSP. This paper is free when you place an order for $50 or more. I did not emboss my sentiment, rather I used Craft White ink. Additionally, I added Wink Of Stella sparkle to the paper. The sentiment is from the Holly Jolly Wishes set, a new favorite set of mine. Since the sentiment was larger than the original card, I placed it at the top corner. I had some Wonderful Gems on hand to add as embellishment. 


The card clearly has the same look to it as the original with just a few minor changes. When the design is already done for you, the card is quick and easy to put together. The animal images in this paper are so cute, you'll want to have some for your holiday paper crafting. 

Product list is below. Sale-A-Bration ends September 30, so make plans to place an order between now and end of September to take advantage of earning free items.

Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop August 2021 - Let's Strip

The Scrapbooking Global Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in a scrapbooking Blog Hop Theme, like this one, to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing. 

Today's theme is brought to you by Sara Levin and is titled "Let's Strip"  - Use Strips of Paper in your layout. 


I knew right away the photo of my granddaughter to use in this layout. I pulled out all the strips/bits & pieces of the Expression In Ink designer paper knowing I had lots of these and the in colors available. 

I traced the picture to have an idea where the strips needed to go. I started to lay them out in a staggered format, trying not to duplicate similar papers. Once I was good with how they were laid out, I attached them with adhesive.   



I then decided the layout needed just a little bit more, so I added a few of the leftover floral & leaf die cuts to the page. I just love how this turned out. My granddaughter has learned to pose a smile on demand. My daughter caught this one when she was enjoying her bath time. Just so adorable. 


Thank you for coming to my page. This is my first time using strips in my layout. I know it is a very popular technique and one I will definitely do again with the right kind of photo. The page is so colorful and fun! 

Now Let's dig into more collaborative fun, Grab a beverage, sit back, and enjoy the hop! I hope you find awesome ideas and inspiration for your projects.
