French Foliage Triple Layer Card

This triple layer card is the latest sensation! I have seen so many beautiful creations with this technique that I thought I'd give it a shot :) I used the french foliage set for this. After cutting the three separate white rectangles, you stack them on top of one another and then stamp the images; then mat each layer. So simple and beautiful!

SUPPLIES:
ink: cajun craze, melon mambo, always artichoke, crumb cake, early espresso, river rock
paper: early espresso, whisper white
stamps: itty bitty banners, french foliage
misc: crumb cake ribbon seam binding, 1/2" and 3/8" circle punch

Mat and card dimensions: (I have corrected the middle mat size)

Another Simple Reason to Smile

This is the same card for the Hayden library workshop, but with a different flower and a few of the itty bitty punches added for character. Sometimes if the class has over 5 or 6 people, I use a different stamp so more than one person can work at a time. So this is just a slightly different version than the last post.

Simple Reason to Smile

This card is for another workshop I am teaching at the Hayden library. Trying to keep it simple but still cute. This flower is from the reason to smile set. I also used the petals a plenty EF, the word window punch, and the itty bitty punches. I stamped the flowers in real red, calypso coral and pretty in pink.

Simple Black & White

This card is simple, simple, simple! No coloring, just stamping with black ink on whisper white paper! The stamp set is happiness shared; thank you sentiment is from the old hostess set faith in nature. Just stamp floral image as background print; mat with daffodil delight. Stamp image again on white and cut with window frame framelits; add black decprative label punch to accent edges. Mat with larger window frame framelits in daffodil delight after running through square lattice embossing folder. Add itty bitty punch shapes, ribbon, and sentiment punched out with word window punch. Elegant, classy and easy!
