Triple Time Stamping – The Way We Were … Around the World on Wednesday

Triple Time Stamping is an oldie but a goodie, one of the very first stamping techniques I learned when I first started exploring this wonderful craft … let’s explore Triple Time Stamping, then and now.

Triple Time Stamping …

Back when I started using rubber stamps to create cards, I joined an “online forum”, the equivalent of social media pre Facebook days. Yep, it was a while ago. Stamp Happy was a great source of inspiration and learning, with crafters generously sharing their knowledge. One of the first techniques I learned was Triple Time Stamping. It’s a simple stamping and layering technique, using either line art stamps or solid stamps.

Simply Zinnia Bundle …

I have used the Simply Zinnia Bundle to create a card as per the original technique, hand trimmed layers, all very geometric, usually centred on the card front. As these are line art images, I coloured them with Stampin’ Blends. The images are stamped onto white card, but I coloured in between the flowers with a Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend to create a vintage feel.

MATERIALS

Line Art Stamps (flowers and leaves work well) / White and Black or dark coloured cardstock / Memento Tuxedo Black Ink / Stampin’ Blends for colouring / Sentiment stamp and a die to suit

Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder …

While looking at ways to add a modern feel to this favourite technique using all the newfangled tools at our fingertips, I wondered if I could add some texture to the layers with an embossing folder. I used the Zinnia 3d Embossing folder and the same layers as previously, but instead of stamping images, I popped all three pieces of white card layered up together into the embossing folder and ran through the Stampin’ Cut’n’Emboss Machine. It was a tight squeeze to get it through (being 3 layers of card), but I did it. Brayering the embossed layers add the outline and then colour is added with Stampin Blends.

MATERIALS

3D Embossing Folder / White and Black or dark coloured cardstock / Memento Tuxedo Black Ink / Stampin’ Blends for colouring / Sentiment stamp and co-ordinating dies

Deckled Rectangle Dies …

Here is a modern take on that technique using dies and the Simply Zinnnia bundle.
