Mixing It Up With Layers!

Animals, Everyday, love, Ocassions, Taylored Expressions, Thinking of You/Miss You

Hello friends!  WOW!  That last month went by really fast!  I think it’s because I was busier than usual on my blog, but that’s great that all of the crafting got me through the cold month quickly!  I know it will still feel cold in March, but hopefully it will start warming up little by little!  Until then, I still need to wear some layers!

Speaking of LAYERS… That brings us to a new challenge over at the Mix It Up Challenge Blog.    The challenges always run for 6 weeks so there is plenty of time to enter.  The theme given this time around is: LAYERS or you can do the ‘Anything Goes” too.  Here’s the card that I came up with for the challenge using the theme:

Aren’t these hedgies cute!  I’ve had this stencil set for a while and haven’t had a chance to use it until now and I thought it would be fun to try out the Triple Time Stamping technique.  (If you don’t know what I’m referring to, check out this video on You Tube HERE.)  I thought this would be a great way to insure several layers on my card.

The cute hedgehogs come from the Taylored Expressions Hedgehugs Stamp & Stencil Combo.  I used the technique to layer the panels together and then stamped and stenciled the hedgehogs and then layered each panel with the Spearmint cardstock.  The smallest layer on top was popped up with foam tape.  (I added the white shimmer ribbon around the middle and front panels before attaching to the card.)

I used the coordinating die to cut out some extra hedgehogs and I popped them up with foam tape over a white metallic heart.  I also white heat embossed the sentiment from the TE To the Point stamp set and cut it out to pop up under the “kissing hedgehogs”.  I’ve also added a few more tiny die cut hearts from the white metallic paper.

I THINK I’ve got about 7 layers all together not including the card base.

  • I hope you’ve enjoyed my card today and will stop by the challenge blog to see all of the inspiration from the team over there!  I would love to see your creation in the gallery too!

Thanks for dropping in and I’ll see you soon!
