Triple-Step Thank You – Concord & 9th Feature Friday

Good morning to you! Thank you so much for stopping by today. I am joining Concord & 9th for their Feature Friday and we’re all using the Triple-Step Thank You stamp set. And it is awesome! I’ve paired the stamp set with the new Dip-Dyed Cards & Envelopes and I’m somewhat in love with what I’ve made.

I am a fan of one layer cards, not that these all qualify for that, mind you. I am also a fan of making multiples of a card. It really doesn’t take all that much more time, and you end up with more cards! I am not a fan of boredom, however, which is why these are all different colors and have a different sub sentiment. (Is that a term? I might have just made that up, let’s go with it!)

This first card was made with Distress Oxide Fossilized Amber ink, which truly is a magnificent color. I simply adore it, and I’m not even a fan of yellows, ha. However, look at this gorgeous specimen! It worked perfectly with this card from the Dip-Dyed set, and I couldn’t be happier with it.

For all of these cards I stamped the first image, which for me was the “T, o and k” image. I stamped this three times to get excellent coverage, then used clear embossing powder to emboss those letters. Next I stamped the “h n” image, again three times, then clear embossed. Finally I stamped the “y a u” image and clear embossed. That just seemed to work out best for me, but I advise you to play with these stamps to see what works for you. There is no wrong or right in stamping, only happy accidents!

I stamped a few of the sentiments from the stamp set onto black card stock with versamark ink and white heat embossed. Once those were trimmed out I just mixed and matched until I liked the way they fit, visually, and popped those up on foam adhesive.

This example features Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide ink, which is just the perfect shade of teal. I did the same steps here, and as you can see I switched up the sub sentiment.

Oh, Abandoned Coral, you make me swoon. Thank you for matching this Dip-Dyed card perfectly. I chose to use the sentiment that had the word “heart” in it just because of the color scheme here, and thought it worked well on the bottom of the card.

I did not having a matching Distress Oxide ink for this, but absolutely love navy and gold, so I used versamark ink and gold embossing powder. I thought this was simply elegant as it was, and did not use a sub sentiment on it. I can always add one later if I need to, and sometimes I like leaving my options open.

I hope you enjoyed these cards and get inspired to make your own one layer card set. I’m thinking I might give these to my sister as a little gift, knowing that she can always use thank you cards.

Have a great weekend!
