Woodland Layers Telescoping cards

 Woodland Layers Telescoping cards

This is a Unity stamp set with a stencil.  

stamps used: Unity Woodland Layers stamp set and stencil

If I'm not mistaken this technique I used to make these two cards is called telescope cards.  If you go to Splitcoaststampers and type in the search box for telescoping cards ... here's instructions/video for telescoping image card.  

Basically, what I did was modernize the technique by using nesting dies, in this case Gina Marie wonky frames.  First I used the stencil to make the mountains then over stamp the mountains with the tree stamp along the bottom of card.  I used my favorite inks from Catherine Pooler.  I stamped the card, then got out my nesting wonky dies and die cut 4 sections.  For the card on the left I adhered the biggest frame to card layer, all the rest of the frames I mounted with mounting tape.  Each one higher than the one before.  For the card on the right, I again die cut card into 4 sections. Only difference this time, I adhered the biggest frame then mounted the third frame, adhered the second with double stick tape and the last layer with mounting tape. The day dream is an stamp on a wood block with no name but any word or saying would work for this card design.

Hope you like these cards and give them a try.

Thanks for visiting and come back again soon.

Last of the leaves

stamps used:  Hot Potatoes, RBBB, Museum of Modern Rubber - unfortunately all these stamp companies are gone with the wind.

These postcards are the last of the leaves from the Duoprinting with chlorophyll technique. The leaves on the beverage postcards are from the Sassafras and the radish postcards are leaves from the radish.
 I've had so much fun doing this technique which you can find at Splitcoaststampers - Resources for all the details.  That's not to say I won't do more before the summer is done ... I'm sure I will but for now I'm taking a break from this technique because I have plenty of cards and postcards to send out to friends and family for right now.  But if you would like to see more of my cards/postcards with this technique you can go here or here for another look.
