Triple Time Stamping at Cardz 4 Guyz

It's my turn to choose the challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz this week and I have chosen theTriple Time stamping technique or Triple Mat technique. There are lots of samples on Pinterest and Splitcoast Stampers if you're unfamiliar with the technique.

I used the SU Traveller set in shades of blue with a central pop of red for the ship. in the past I have popped the layers up on foam pads but I kept this one flat for easier posting.

Make sure you check out the great inspiration from the rest of the Design Team.

Triple Time Swallowtail

After all the boiler fitting, replacement window fitting, washing machine and vacuum cleaner repairs I thought this week might start getting bback to normal. How wrong could I be? After all the hot weather yesterday it definitely changed. We had a torrentisal downpour yesterday evening with thunder and lightening, and I do mean torrential. The rain came down so hard that it was running down the road like a river and of course the drains couldn't cope. Result a flooded garage - the water was about an inch deep and very close to coming in the utility room door. It was just high enough to cause the freezer to blow all the electrics in the house! Fortunately a very nice lady at the Electricity emergency line talked me through getting it all back on again.  Now that it has all dried out I've turned the freezer back on and it seems to be working OK thank goodness. So no food lost!

Anyway to get back to card making I made this card a little while ag ofor a friend's birthday and as it has now passed I can show it here.

I used the gorgeous large swallowtail stamp and the triple time stamping technique. The colours are strawberry slush and early espresso.

The ribbon is cherry cobbler seam binding which blended in well as I didn't have any matching pink ribbon.

I added a bit of decoration to the inside as well with a butterfly from Papillon Potpourri and a sentiment from Bring on the Cake.

Dynamic Duos-and Triple Time Stamping.

I have been wanting to try triple time stamping for a while and decided that this week's Dynamic Duos challenge would work well. (Or at least in my mind it did!) The colours this week are a pretty combo of pink and brown.

 

So I set about using the Elements of Style set which is retiring.  Naughty me has only just got it but it will be one I keep as I think ist is really pretty. Unfortunately Blushing Bride doesn't seem to show up too well on Very Vanilla, either that or my ink pad is a bit dry - which is possible as I have had it a few years. Might just have to treat myself to a new one as the new foam pads are much juicier. So I'm afraid you are going to have to look VERY closely to see the stamping.
