FOR QUICK & EASY CARDS TRIPLE THE IMAGE

 Hi Stampers!

Are you looking for a stamping technique that is quick & easy, and results in great cards? Well, I have the perfect technique for you! Simply triple a stamped image. That’s right, simply stamp the image 3 times to create am interesting focal panel for your cards. That is all there is to it! It doesn’t get much easier. So… why stamp 3 images as opposed to two or four? Honestly, you can stamp the image as many times as you like, or as many times as there is room for on a card; but the number three connotes universal symbolism. In the Christian faith - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; stages of life - birth, life, death; a person’s being - mind, body, soul; time - past, present, future; in writing / story telling - beginning, middle, ending; and in superstition / idioms - third times the charm. The number 3 is considered good fortune, and it is the first number that allows for the formation of a geometric figure - the triangle! With all that going for it you can see why stamping an image three times will result in great cards!

Let’s take a look at today’s cards:

As you can see, each image is featured three times on the cards’ focal panels. Each card’s images are presented in a slightly different way, meaning there are plentiful options for using the triple image technique!

I have listed the cutting dimensions and supplies used below each card. If you do not have the exact items, no worries. Use what you have! Today’s focus is the technique.

Use the blending pen to spread out the ink over the pineapple top. Go over the pine apple fruit area with the So Saffron Stampin’ Blend Marker. It is not easy to see in the photo, but the So Saffron adds that little touch of yellow to that portion of the image.

 Hi Stampers!

I will share projects created with the featured product and give some tips on how to get more from the stamp set or other items included.

So, let’s take a look at today’s cards.
