Triple Time Stenciling

Welcome to day 2 of the new release celebration for The Rabbit Hole Designs! Today, I’m sharing a neat technique called triple time stenciling with the new Amanda stencil (named after me – so exciting)! This is a technique I learned from my friend Linda, at Valley Stamp and Scrap.

If you haven’t seen it before, you’re going to love this technique! It’s quick, easy, and works with stamps or stencils. The basic idea is that you cut three panels, each slightly smaller than the next, stack them up, and stencil on all three layers at the same time. Then, you mat them and layer them up to create your card.

Let’s take a look at how I did that for my mini-slimline cards. First, I cut my panels to 5 1/2″ x 2 1/2,” 4 7/8″ x 1 7/8,” and 2″ x 1.” (Make sure your smallest panel is big enough for your sentiment.) Next, I used temporary adhesive to stick the layers together. Then, I used more adhesive to stick the stack to my craft mat, and masking tape to adhere the Amanda stencil on top. (You don’t want anything to shift around while inking.) Using blending brushes and a handful of inks, I blended a rainbow of color onto the panels.

Using white powder, I embossed my sentiment from the new 1 Line Flower stamp set on the smallest panel. It wasn’t standing out enough, so I blended more ink on top, and that really helped it pop.

To assemble the card, I glued each panel onto a slightly larger cardstock mat, popping up the layers with thin foam tape. A few scattered gems and white gel pen dots finish the card.

I loved the card so much, I made a second one! This time, I blended my favorite white ink onto kraft cardstock and used gold and white accents.

What do you think? I’m so glad I saw Linda sharing this technique in one of her Facebook live videos. If don’t already follow her, here is a link to her page. She’s live almost every afternoon.
