Celebrate Sunflowers Triple Panel Card with video!

June 16, 2020

I made this card on Facebook Live last night on my weekly Monday night 'Stamp with Me'. It's such a fun technique!

I love blues and browns together and chose to use Just Jade, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Pool Party with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set (seen here). What do you think of this color combination? One of my favorite things about creating is coming up with unique color combos.

I have some great tips on doing this technique.

Start out with three colors of card stock measuring 3 1/2" X 4 1/2".
Cut these into three strips 1 1/2" wide.
Lay them together and adhere a piece of copy paper to the back side to keep them held together while stamping.
Stamp large and small images all over the three colors of card stock with Soft Suede ink. *Always stamp the largest image first!
Or use Designer Series Paper instead of stamps!
Adhere to the Early Espresso layer (4 3/4" X 5"). Then to the full 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base.

The pool party greeting strips are either 3/4" or 1" wide by about 4" long. I used the new Pick a Punch (seen here) on the ends and added a thin strip (about 1/4") of Early Espresso card stock under it as an accent. I finished it with a double bow made with our Linen Thread.

I chose the pretty Misty Moonlight & Seaside Spray combination for these cards. I love the two toned look of these In Colors together. When you add White for a pop of brightness they really shine!
