Stamping Sisters April Tutorial - Thanks and Blessings

So the world is certainly a strange place at the moment. I was officially made redundant for the foreseeable future and currently home schooling my Highschooler and two primary School kids. To say that's hard work would be an understatement.

But all this extra time at home has also been fun. The kids and I are finding different ways to be crafty. We've baked together, made play dough and my daughter has even taken up sewing.

I think being creative is so important, especially in times where our mental health can suffer. So this months stamping sisters tutorial couldn't come at a better time. Oh and did I mention our theme is Thanks and Blessings.

How lovely would it be to create a card and send it to a friend in isolation, or maybe a grandparent who is in a care home. Now really is the most perfect time to send out happy mail to everyone you know and bring a little sunshine to their days.

Triple Time Happiness

Morning Guys,

I've some how manged to not only get all the kidlits into school on the same day BUT I also have no housework or little jobs to do today, which means one whole day (between the hours of 9am -3pm anyway) of craft time. Can I hear a Woo Hoo!!!

So today, I wanted to share two of my latest creations with you all. First off is a card that I made for my Card Class which is on this upcoming Saturday. I love to teach my girls different techniques or trends that are hot at the moment and I realised that I hadn't shown them the Triple Time Stamping technique, which I just love.

Such a gorgeous, soft, girly card and I love the stamp set Everything Eleanor. Isn't it a beautiful technique too and so easy to make, as my class girls will find out on Saturday.

But when I was making this card, I thought how gorgeous it would be as a Scrapbook page. So the cogs started turning and I pulled out some cardstock and alittle while later and this is what I came up with...

  

OMG totally love how this came out. It's just so perfect for this photograph of me with my mum and my daughter on her Baptism day. A beautiful girly layout for three gorgeous ladies.

Oh and aren't those ribbon flowers simple lovely, I have a close up of them here.

 So easy to make too. Gotta love easy lol.

While I was in town this morning I saw that my local Big W were selling 12x12 shadow box frames for $15 each and I had grabbed a couple on impulse, so now I have the perfect layout to put in one of them. The only problem is, when my mum sees this she'll be asking to take it home with her for her house lol

Have fun,
Chlo

Do you Triple Time Stamp???

I had no idea what that was. What is Triple Time Stamping??? It was all the rage but I had no idea. So I did a Google search and came across one of my favourite US Demo, Dawn Olchefske's blog, Do Stamping.

She not only had a photo of what Triple Time Stamping looks like but... wait for it... an instruction video too!!! She's great, that Dawn.

But what IS triple time stamping. Well it's hard to explain, so instead I'll just show you...

Ok, so let me try and explain how this works. First you cut all three Very Vanilla pieces out and then you mount them on top of each other. Next stamp all over them and when you pull the apart them apart you have this great pattern. Next stick them on the Early Espresso and remember which way up they go as then you stick them all back in the same place again, on top of each other.

Is this making any sense? Anyway, here is the link to Dawn's Triple Time card and Video. She even has the measurements for you. What more can I offer lol.

Have a great weekend,
Chlo
