I inked up the gorgeous SU! Snowflakes set to create my card and used Midnight Muse, Pool Party, Marina Mist and white for my colour combo. I love that the Warm Winter Wishes sentiment in the Snowflakes set contrasts warmth against the chilliness of snowflakes!
There's a measurement formula you can choose to follow with the triple time stamping technique to make it easier. I'll give you my mat and stamped layer measurements and you'll see that the formula is to decrease panel sizes by 1". You don't have to follow this method though and can opt to make your panels different sizes. Check out the cards Louise and Danielle from the DT made to see excellent examples. My card base measures 5 1/4" and then:
Midnight Muse mats were cut at:
4 1/4" square
3 1/4" square
White stamped layers were cut at:
5" square
4" square
3" square
Before gluing the smallest panel down I added a strip of ruffled ribbon and a button. I just had to add rhinestone jewels to my snowflake centres!
It's hard to tell from the above photo but I dotted a bit of glitter here and there on my snowflakes - just a light dusting of sparkle. Here's a close up photo.
Here's a photo of the inside of the card and the envelope flap. I really love this colour combo!
I really hope you'll try this fab technique and join in with our challenge this week, I'd love to come and see your triple time stamped creations! There's some great inspiration from the rest of the DT so please check out their cards. Also this is the last week of the DT call so if you'd like to apply for a spot on the team remember to add DT after your name when linking up your card.
