Good Morning My Stamping Friends, I've seen this
Triple Time Stamping technique floating around for a while so I thought I'd give it a try. I made two cards (which I'll post soon) but they came out a little bulky and I wondered if it might cost extra to mail it. A few days ago I saw my card sitting on my desk next to my
Big Shot and I got a fantastic idea....or at least I think its a fantastic idea. Today I finally got a chance to try out my idea and I sorta like the way it turned out.
For those that havent heard of the
Triple Time Stamping technique I tracked it back to Dawn Olchefske so you can google the technique and see a few tutorial videos. For my
FAUX Triple Time Stamping technique I wanted a similiar look with not so much bulk soooooooooo, I pulled out my handy dandy
Big Shot and my
Labels Collection Framelits. The photo below shows how I cut my frames.

I used the smallest 4 framelits (the collection comes with 6) on a 1/4 sheet of black cardstock to make my 'layers'. Once I ran that through the
Big Shot I had three frames (and a center piece). I used the largest and smallest of the black cardstock frames on my card. This eliminates the three layers but still has the same look so I'm calling it the
FAUX Triple Time Stamping technique.

To make the white layer of the card I cut a piece of
whisper white cardstock with the 5th largest framelet (the one that is just a bit bigger than the one shown above). I used the new Stampin' Up! In Color inkpad called
Raspberry Ripple along with
Crumb Cake ink. The stamp set is the
Affection Collection stamp set that I received FREE with my 2012 Convention Attendance. After I stamped and
sponged my main card layer I used snail to adhere the two black frames. I added a few
basic pearls to the image, added a sentiment using the
Modern Label Punch and finished it up with a
linen thread bow.
