All Good Things Come to an End...

...and this is my final triple-stamped card to show you for this round.  No worries, though, I will be back at it again soon!  I am just moving ahead with another project this weekend.  ;)

This one is a Christmas card.  I was not quite ready to jump head-first into making cards for Christmas yet, so I decided to just dabble with just this one.

I used White Daisy and Cranberry Cardstock, the Merry and Bright My Acrylix Stamp set, Cranberry, Olive, and Black Dye Ink Pads, and the Cashmere Pigment Ink Mini.  I cannot wait to get my hands on more of these Pigment Inks!  

Thanks for coming along this week to learn a bit about the triple-stamping method!  Remember, my next Card Workshop will feature this type of card!  :)  Check out the Workshops and Events Tab at the top of my blog for more details. 

ALSO!!!  This month is rapidly coming to an end, and so is your chance at my giveaway!  You can check out the details on my blog HERE.   Have a GREAT weekend, and I will be back soon!

Encore, Encore!

You guessed it!  Another triple stamping technique card is on the way.  Listen, these are so crazy-easy and fun that I am surprised I didn't end up with more!  ;)

This one is a fun Halloween card.

Sorry if spiders aren't your thing, (#Bethiehatesspiders), but my spidey sense told me these webs were meant to be used for this technique, so I had to listen!  I used the awesome Spellbound My Acrylix stamps, Black Ink Pad, and Sunset/White Daisy CS for this one--that's it!  How much more fun and easy can it possibly get?  Hope you like this one as much as I do.  Just one left to show you this week!  What will it be?  Tune in Friday to find out!

In case you missed my earlier posts, HERE is the Youtube Tutorial by Dawn where I learned to make these cards.

Three-peat Repeat

Yep, I told you on Friday's post that I had more of these to show you, so let's start this Monday off right!  This one has a wonderful fall theme to welcome in the cooler weather.  We will be doing a similar card at my next card workshop! 

I used Goldrush and Olive Dye based ink pads, and the new Desert Sand Mini Pigment Ink.  The pigment ink stays wet longer so I was able to add clear embossing powder and use my heating tool to give it the shine you see below. 

I love the colors of fall!  Which seasonal colors are your favorites?

Three-peat Stamping!

Thank you for coming in to take a peek at my latest post!  All the girls (and guy!) over on one of my Close to My Heart Facebook groups are trying out this amazingly simple yet powerful stamping technique called triple stamping.  You can see how to do it HERE in this YouTube video by Dawn.  Thank you for the great tutorial, Dawn!  It is a great way to make a beautiful card using only stamping to get a lot of bang for your buck.   I like to call it Three-peat Stamping, myself....any former Bulls fans out there?  Do you remember the day?  Sigh...but I digress.  :)

Here is my first attempt:

I really wanted to use the Pirouette stamp for this to see how it would look.  I really like the effect, but let me tell you, I need more practice with this stamp because it is large!  Large, and solid, lol.  It left some blank spaces to fill in with a black marker, but that really wasn't too difficult to fix up.  I also must have been a little crooked, because my sentiment is running downhill, lol.  Ooops!  See, bloggers make mistakes too!   I admit, I was in a hurry to see how it would look.  Lesson learned!  Slow down and get it right.  Now I know I like the look, so I will definitely make more of these!  ;)

I made a total of SIX different cards like this tonight!  I will post others in the days to come, but here are two more right now:

For both of these cards I used the Pemberley Workshop Stamp set from the previous Idea Book.  I used the Pemberley Paper Packet which is still available to try a pattern paper as the mat on the first card.  I like the effect, but I LOVE how the darker, solid mat makes it POP!

Which one do you prefer?  I would love to know!

Remember, I am having a giveaway for anyone who orders on my website through my Card Workshop Gathering and helps me reach my goal this month!  I am soooooo close!!!  Read about it HERE!
