Birthday: Triple Layer Stacked Squares

Stitched Shaped dies were used to create the layers of squares.  Buttons finished off the design.

Sympathy: Triple Layer Watercolor

Each of the three layers is die cut from water colored paper and then layered onto black card stock.  The So Saffron layer is stitched die cut.  

Sympathy: Triple Layer

Another Triple Layer design.  I cut the pieces and taped them together.  I stamped in black, then sponged in blues and purples.  I sponged the background and glued them all together.

Thinking Of You: Triple Layer Water Color

I started with a triple layer concept, but I used dies for the design.  I used water color paper and water color powders.  Then I used the dies on the water color paper.  Layered with black paper allowed the designs to pop.

Triple Layer Thinking of You

I needed a masculine card for a coworker.  The triple layer card works perfectly for the purpose.  I used Soft Suede and Crumb Cake for the paper and inks.  The stamps are all Stampin' Up.

Wedding Triple Layer: Enjoy the Journey

Aaron has a wedding this week; their colors are wasabi green!  So, of course the triple layer with Wild Wasabi is our color, too.

The base layer color is Wild Wasabi.  The top layer color is Certainly Celery.  We chose a small flourish for the celery color and the script leaf for the wasabi color.  The leaf has a dainty print, so the images blended quite nicely.

The baker's twine and button were added between the second and third layers.

Enjoy the journey!

Father's and Uncle's Day Triple Layer Cards

Father's Day and Uncle's Day are one in the same at our house.  I used Wild Wasabi and Certainly Celery for both the card stock and inks.

I took the three Certainly Celery layers and adhered them together -- just barely.  I used just a small amount of tape, knowing I needed to take them apart right after I stamped them.  I randomly stamped the flourish with Certainly Celery, making sure to not cover up the sentiment.  Then I used the geometric floral stamp with Wild Wasabi. 

The "shadow" that is created from the stamp when stamping across the layers will be covered by the mat.  I disassembled the three stamped layers, attached the mats, and reassembled the layers.  I had to make sure I did not turn the layers upside down; I was careful to match the patterns.  The bottom mat is actually the card base.

For the masculine card, I chose to not use ribbon or bakers twine.  However, I would use more adornment for a more feminine card.
