Hello crafters! It's a triple stamping technique card for the giveaway this week so I hope you like this one! It is one of my favourites from the Justrite Christmas shows. To do this technique, you need to cut three pieces of card that are sized so that the largest one is on the bottom, up to the smallest one on the top. Then cut matching mats for them, but don't attach them until after the stamping has been done. I decided to add a little twist to the technique by covering each of the layers with Iced Snow (seeing they were snowflake stamps, I thought it only fitting that I "iced" them!). I put a piece of sticky tape between all the layers to hold them in place before stamping. Using the Justrite snowflake and three colours of Adirondack ink pads (Clover, Pool and Denim), I stamped the snowflakes so that they went off of all of the layers in the different colours. I carefully took the layers apart then covered each one with a sticky adhesive sheet, peeled the backing off then coated them with Iced Snow. For the middle and bottom layer, I added a piece of copy paper to the very centre before coating it with the Iced Snow so I only needed to do the exposed edge areas. I taped the mats on to each layer then added mounting foam between them. The mats cover the void left from where the stamp cannot get to the area between the layers so your eye picks up a complete image. I stamped my sentiment and the Snowflake Labels Seven in Cobalt Archival ink then cut it out with the matching die. While still in the die, I inked it with the Pool Adirondack ink. I used a decorative die from the Tranquil Moments die as a pretty piece peeking from under my sentiment. The sides of the piece were cut straight prior to mounting it underneath. The card was finished with a flatback pearls and a double white mat with a pierced layer and a thin cobalt blue mat. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size. If you would like to be included in the drawing for this one, just leave a comment! The winner will be announced on Saturday's blog post! All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue,
So pleased to see this card sort of "up close and personal". It was the card that made me buy the set! I did like the sentiments and background stamp that went with it. I love doing this technique so will definitely make similar cards. Thanks for the tip on saving iced snow as well. Thanks Sue - thanks seems a bit inadequate when you do so much! x
Anne so pleased you had a good days golf - and a prize - sounds like a good day.
Clare - another golfing Wilsonette - hope you enjoy your day and the hog roast! Yum!
Janet and Dawn and I think some others bought the stamp as a result of this card. I'm in good company!
Pam - sending love and praying for Robbie and for patience for you. It must be hard not to be able to move around freely - but Norah has good advice as ever.
Lee - give my love to Julie - so sorry she is not well. Thank you for standing in for Julie once again. Get well very soon Julie - sending hugs. x
Love to all , especially those who are in pain.

Good evening Sue and everyone
Such a beautiful and very inspirational card I have made several variations in this style after seeing you showcase this method on C & C I love it. The colours and texture on your card is wonderful thank you so much Sue.
Wishing Lynda a wonderfully happy day today as you celebrate your birthday, I hope your birthday is as special as you.
Pam hope you are feeling the benefit of resting a great reason to sit and watch all of Sue's videos on you tube, thinking of you and all your family.
Welcome to our extra thoughtful guest leaving a message for his lovely wife, do hope you are feeling better soon Julie.
Warm wishes and hugs to those who need them especially Pam, Gail, Yorkielass, Lynda, Steph and Tina.

Hi Sue, and blog friends
Love this technique, and really love this card. I enjoyed Julia's show's yesterday. She made me laugh when she said she was scared she might snore when sharing a room with you. I think you will both so tired, you both won't hear any won't hear any snoring, fingers crossed anyway. You'll have a fun time. I wish I could be at one of the shows.
