Triple Play Thursday 3 September 2020

Welcome to another Triple Play Thursday. I'm so excited to share these cards with you. If you are new to my blog, Triple Play Thursday is where I take one stamp set or bundle, one card layout and create three beautiful cards.

The cards today cover a calendar of seasons using the Arrange A Wreath Bundle from the Annual Catalog. What a cute set! I think you will like the samples. Each providing a different use of the Wreath dies and stamp image. A bundle of products that will provide lots of inspiration.

The feature card today is for Christmas. For the next couple months, I will do my best to provide a Christmas or holiday design as one of the three cards, allowing you plenty of time to make your Christmas cards this year.

The layout is basic. The printed paper layer, or embossed layer is 5-1/8” x 3-7/8”, layered on a piece of coordinating cardstock that is 5-1/4” x 4” Soft Suede to coordinate with the design of the printed paper. Stamp the sentiment using Cherry Cobbler ink on a piece of printed paper from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. I love the woodgrains and textures in the paper, beautiful.

The wreathes are cut from Old Olive and Mossy Meadow cardstock, and then layered on top of the printed paper layer. I have tied a linen thread bow and adhered the Cherry Cobbler poinsettia die cut on top using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The finishing touch is some Red Rhinestones for holly berries and a little sparkle! What do you think?

The second card uses one of the stamps to create the wreath. Use Crumb Cake ink to stamp the wreath on a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock. Then using the Beautiful Autumn Bundle from the Holiday Catalog, I layered punched images on top. I'm using Crushed Curry for the second layer and the card base is Early Espresso.

The leaves are stamped using Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Cinnamon Cider and Soft Suede. For the punched image, stamp the outline in full strength ink, and then for the background color stamp off the same color once before stamping over the outline. Another hint, I used the Stamparatus to stamp the wreath background. Extremely helpful for larger stamped images that may need to be stamped a couple times for an amazing finish. The sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso, and I have added a double bow tied from linen thread.

The last card today is a bright happy card, for Valentine’s Day or any day you want to let someone know that they are loved. Magenta Madness is a new In Color that I'm using for the second layer, on top of a Crumb Cake card base.

Start with the Crumb Cake card base, then die cut one of each wreath images using printed paper from the In Good Taste DSP. The bow and hearts are cut from Magenta Madness. I have embossed the white layer with the Subtle 3D embossing folder and layered the die cut pieces on top. The white layer is then adhered to of a piece of 5-1/4" x 4" Magenta Madness. Basic Rhinestones provide added sparkle for the finishing touch.

Do you have a favorite? I hope you are inspired to make something similar using this bundle. Enjoy!

Triple Play Thursday 27 August 2020

Today's Triple Play Thursday features the Nothing's Better Than Bundle from the annual catalog. The combination of sentiments are so much fun and are sure to put a smile on the face of the person receiving your card. The layout is a fun fold, using a quarter sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" cardstock.

I'm so glad you are visiting today, I hope to provide lots of inspiration. As always a complete list of supplies used for the feature card can be found at the bottom of this post.

The feature card today is using the word "Chocolate" die cut along with the matching chocolate treat image colored with Stampin' Blends.

The card base is 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" piece of Crumb Cake cardstock. The next layer is a 5-1/4" X 4" piece of Early Espresso that I have heat embossed the chocolate pieces stamp using white embossing powder.

The center section of the card, the folding section is a piece of 8-1/2" x 3" Crumb Cake cardstock, scored at 4-1/4". The top white pieces is 2-3/4" x 1-3/4", and the bottom piece is 2-3/4" x 3/4", each sentiment is stamped using Early Espresso ink. I've also added a piece of Whisper White that measures 2-3/4" x 4" to the inside for writing a personal note. Next, I die cut the word "Chocolate" from a scrap of Early Espresso cardstock. The chocolate image for the front is stamped on a scrap of Whisper White, and colored using Bronze, Ivory and Soft Suede Stampin' Blends. The finishing touch is a couple In Color enamel dots. What do you think?

The second card uses some bright happy colors and use my go to beverage of choice in the morning for the theme.

The 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" card base is Magenta Madness. I've stamped the coffee cup image on the left side of a piece of Pumpkin Pie using Pumpkin Pie ink, then embossed the right side of this layer using the Wrapped in Texture embossing folder. The center section uses an 8-1/2" x 3" piece of Magenta Madness. The cup is stamped in Early Espresso, with Pool Party ink to add the background color. The word "Coffee" is cut from a scrap of Early Espresso and the remaining sentiment is stamped using Magenta Madness ink. For the finishing touch I've added some Artistry Blooms Sequins. What do you think about this one? Do you have a favorite?

And the last card today is for my sweet friends waiting on happy hour. My favorite sentiment in the set is "because adulting is hard". Who do you know that needs to receive this hug in the mail?

The card base and center section are Pool Party cardstock. The 5-1/4" x 4" piece is Petal Pink with the cocktail image stamped on the left side in Petal Pink ink. The entire layer is embossed using the Subtle 3D embossing folder. The drink image in the center is stamped on a scrap of Whisper White using Memento black ink. I've used the ice cube drink stamp, first inking it up with Petal Pink, then stamped off once on a scrap of paper, next using a sponge dauber I added a little Calypso Coral ink to the bottom part of the stamp, then stamped onto the paper as shown to get that darker look at the bottom of the drink. The umbrella and slice of lemon are colored with blends Mango Melody and Pool Party, but there are also stamps in this set that will fill in these pieces. For the finishing touch, sprinkle on some Artistry Blooms Sequins.

Leave me a comment I would love to know which is your favorite?
