Hi
lovely peeps, Karen P here to talk and share with you today
We are
one week into our TRIPLE
STAMPING challenge
I'm
here today to share some tips and variations to this super fun and easy
technique
So
let’s get started, shall we?
Mynnette says …
1. Use
nesting dies for much easier layering.
2. Try
stamping onto coloured paper and having a white border.
3. Highlight
your panels with glitter glue/Stickles for added texture and shine.
Karen P says …
1. Do not
use thick card because that causes empty space where you have stamped, blank or
white areas with no stamping on it.
2. Keep your
stamp fairly simple as busy stamps don’t look too good – ask me how I know that
lol!
3. I used a
glue stick to stick my layers together so that my stamping was clean. I then quickly took the layers apart before
the glue had completely dried.
Rocky says …1. What Karen says is right but there is a way to hide it (wish I’d known that earlier Rocky) lol! If you get wide blanks on your paper/card you can increase the size of your layer a little to hide it.
2. I found the purple masking tape very good for this technique, double over a small piece and use it like double sided tape in the middle of your layer, it comes off without tearing once you have finished stamping.
3. Use a clear or embossing ink pad and coloured embossing inks to create alternate contrasting layers.
For
details of how to make this card or to see it closer up please look at Mynnette’s
blog here. I
am going now, hopefully, to play with my inks and embossing powders – Rockys
comments mean I want to try stamping and heat embossing – never thought to do
that!
Thank you very much for stopping by
Please don't forget to link up your Triple Stamping creations
to the original challenge post found here
I hope you have a lovely day and get
to do some stamping!
