3 in 1 Triple Panel cards

I made these pretty cards on last week's Facebook Live 'Stamp with Me' Monday night. *See video below

The 2nd & 4th Monday's you can stamp with me Live on Facebook here.  The next one is Monday, August 10th. I post the measurements & supplies ahead of time so you can prepare.  Then afterwards you can share your cards too!

I chose to use a Triple Panel technique; at least that's what I'm calling it.  I saw a sketch like it and created my own version here.  You start out with 3 pieces of card stock or designer paper and cut them all the same way.  

I used Bumblebee, Night of Navy and Smoky Slate for the cards above along with the Tasteful Touches bundle.  That pretty leaf die-cut is from the Birds & More dies set. 

Measurements:
Three pieces of card stock or DSP measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2".
Cute one full 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base of each color you use.
 
Cutting directions:
1st cut: Cut the first small triangle off of each piece. (On the bottom right card it's the Navy piece) Make a mark 1 1/2" from the bottom left corner and 2" from the bottom right corner. Cut this triangle off of all three pieces.
2nd cut: Make a mark from the upper left corner across at 1 3/4". Make a mark 2" from the lower left angled edge. Cut.
The 3rd cut isn't necessary as you'll use the angled piece left from the first two cuts.
Now you have three different colored pieces for each card. Mix & match one color per card!

On the cards above the colors are Bermuda Bay, Black and Smoky Slate and the same Tasteful Touches bundle and leaf die from above.

  • Geometric fun with an Ombre’ effect; video tutorial too!

    I've been sharing ideas & techniques featuring the Plenty of Patterns masks from a recent FB Live video. 

    Today it's an Ombre' effect created with a grid mask, 4 colors of ink and Blending Brushes.

    The colors I used are from top to bottom: Pale Papaya, Calypso Coral, Polished Pink and Melon Mambo. I used our Blending Brushes to achieve this smooth blended look.  See them here. I love them; they're so worth investing in.  And the nice thing is that the ink can be rinsed out to use them in any color next time.

    I used the grid mask in the set of 4 seen below & here.

    I'm sure you noticed the hexagonal greeting die-cuts.  This is part of a new die-cut set called Beautiful Shapes dies coming out in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog.  And the Adhesive-Backed Hexagons coordinate wonderfully.  These embellishments come in a package of three colors – Black, Blushing Bride & Just Jade.

    I added a zig-zag of ribbon behind my greeting image; see my easy method in the video.

  • Fun with Plenty of Pattern masks with techniques & video too

    I hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend!  We sure did. The kids come home for Christmas from other cities in North Dakota and we have some fun traditions like an appetizer showdown, presents, lots & lots of games & yummy food.  My kids are still here so the fun continues another day yet!

    Here is another card idea with the Plenty of Pattern masks I shared on last week's FB Live here. 

    This card features an ombre' effect on Vellum card stock using the Plenty of Patterns masks and a new bundle from the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog

    For the ombre' effect I used Night of Navy, Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana inks along with Blending Brushes. You can see how it's done on the video here.

    I kept is super simple otherwise.  I layered the sponged vellum on a piece of White CS and added a greeting and leaf die-cut.

    You can see the Plenty of Pattern masks I used here.  They are so fun to play with; especially if you like sponging or techniques.

  • Gingerbread & Peppermint fun fold cards – easy to replicate!

    Merry Christmas!!  I hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday.

    We made this neat card at my December Card Clubs. I love the double Z fold design. And it makes great use of both card stock and designer paper! 

    I used the Gingerbread & Peppermint bundle for the stamps & dies.  Unfortunately it's sold out already.  And so is the Heartwarming Hugs designer paper. Retiring Holiday Catalog time is so hard!

    But you can use this card layout with other designs and occasions.  One thing I love about this card is that the inside accordion piece is perfectly sized to get 4 out of an 8 1/2" X 11" piece of card stock so it's great for mass producing.  

    Frosted Gingerbread Dec Club Save

    The colors are Real Red, White & Mossy Meadow.  

    Measurements: 

    • Red card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2"
      Mossy Meadow 2 3/4" X 8 1/4" scored every 2 3/4"
      DSP 2 1/2" X 4" for front, two squares at 2 1/2"
      White 2 1/2" for inside greeting, scrap for die-cut label
