Hello, Crafters.
Triple Layering Stamping is a technique that has been around for a long time. Last week while I was working with the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper (DSP) I thought about applying the technique to DSP. I’ve also tried it with Feels Like Frost DSP, and achieved great results with it. Whereas the Triple Layering Stamping technique uses three layers of cardstock (CS), normally Whisper White or Very Vanilla, using DSP needs just one sheet.
Using DSP also gave my new trimmer a good workout, because I had to cut one panel out, and then I had to cut a smaller panel out of it! The trimmer worked brilliantly. Cutting the panels was the hardest part of making this card, but the trimmer made very light work of it. I took the measurements for my card from my number 80 video called Triple Layering Stamping – this is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44cOk8k2AFw&t=50s
I’m really pleased how the Real Red and Garden Green card turned out but the all-red card is my favourite. You will see in the video that I trimmed off the Very Vanilla edging off the sentiment after I had die-cut it and then layered it on a piece of Garden Green CS. Without the Garden Green layer, I felt the sentiment melted into the background. and I wanted it to pop a bit more!
To decorate the inside of my card I used the smallest Layering Circle Die to die-cut the image of the ice-skaters, and layered it on a Garden Green Stitched Shape Circle – I used the smallest size. Needless to say, I’d now like to see what this card would look like if I used Real Red CS with Garden Green DSP? When I was preparing for the video card, I cut out the DSP in case I made a booboo while videoing – so I could use the reverse! At least I wouldn’t have to go right back to the beginning.
I’m pleased to say I didn’t make a mistake, and the DSP I prepared is already sitting here! If I get five minutes, I might give it a go! That’s it from me today. I wish you a very blessed Sunday and I look forward to being back with you tomorrow. In the meantime, happy crafting.

Just beautiful work!
Many thanks, Cathy. xx
I love the one with the specialty paper and fox. Another way to back the banner is to trace around the die and fussy cut that for the shadow (tip from Simon Hurley). This works with lots of dies.
Hi, Sheila. Many thanks for sharing Simon’s tip. It works better if you don’t have the white border around the image. It will also make the overall size of the finished image larger. It’s good that we have choices. xx
Jan, I just had a thought and know you will be able to immediately tell me if this idea would work. So idea – instead of all the cutting, could you use the nesting rectangle dies instead? I haven’t tried this idea as I don’t have the dies, but just a thought. XX Mal
Hi, Mal. In theory, yes it would. I thought about using our Stitched Rectangle Dies, but they were designed for US size cardstock, not A4. Therefore A4 users would have to cut their cards down to 5.5″ which looks too small in our 6.25″ envelopes. Assuming that issue didn’t exist, and I used sizes 7, 5, and 3 the widths of the DSP would be 3/8″, and when layered with cardstock, there would only be 1/4″ DSP visible. When I tried sizes 7, 4 and 1 it would work for US sizing with a much smaller top panel. The other problem is that the DSP would have stitched edges, but the cardstock wouldn’t! Then I started to think about how could I get the stitched edges on the cardstock too? At this point I gave up and used my trimmer – it’s a far easier option! Have a great weekend. xxx
Oh Jan, I see your point with the dies. I downloaded the sizes of the dies and cut them out of cardstock (I don’t have the dies unfortunately) and I too gave up in the end. I didn’t like that the cardstock matting did not have the stitched edging. I was re-watching your video as I love the card when I had the nesting dies thought and knew you would be able to immediately say yes or no. Wishing you a joyful day tomorrow (Sunday) for your Baptism. Blessings: Mal
I’m so looking forward to tomorrow. What a fabulous year it has been! xx
