Triple-Time Painted Seasons

3/26/2019

This card is another we made in my March class, and features the Painted Seasons stamp set that is only available as a FREE Sale-A-Bration item with a minimum spend through March 31. Read more about Sale-A-Bration here.

To make a triple-time-stamping card, you need to make 3 layers of light-coloured cardstock and 3 layers of coloured cardstock (the largest of which will be your card base). For this card I used the Rectangle Stitched Framelits dies to cut the layers. Here are measurements in inches...I'll update when/if I figure them out in cm!Color: 4 1/4 x 5 1/2″
White: 4 x 5 1/4″
Color: 3 1/4 x 4 1/2″
White: 3 x 4 1/4″
Color: 2 1/4 x 3 1/2″
White: 2 x 3 1/4″
Then stack the light-coloured layers together, holding them with either removable adhesive or some SNAIL tape runner that you've de-sticked a bit (I press it a few times on my jeans leg to pick up some lint). Then go ahead and stamp your images randomly, starting with the largest one, then the next largest one, and using the smallest to fill in. You will notice blank areas where the layers meet, but they will be covered by the coloured layers.

Pull apart your stamped layers and adhere them to the coloured layers. Mount them on top of each other with Dimensionals, being sure to add ribbon if desired. You can add a sentiment, too, but I chose not to on this one.

The colours we used for this card are Berry Burst, Garden Green and Crushed Curry. The Berry Burst is one of the 2017-19 InColors which will be retiring at the end of May. It is so gorgeous, and I adore the Metallic-Edge Ribbon that coordinates perfectly. Retiring InColors products usually sell out by the end of April, so if you like any of the colours below I suggest you order them now (and they will help you earn FREE Sale-A-Bration items if you order before the end of March!).
