Triple Layer Card

 I have a card to share with you today that’s one of my favorite designs - the Triple Layered card! This style is so versatile. You can use just about any stamp set, and you can make it multi-colored or monochromatic! It looks great any way you do it.

Are you a baker? Maybe you’re a direct seller of cookware/kitchen supplies? The stamp set I’m using today is perfect for you! You can make customer thank you cards ... Or a card to attach to a gift ... Maybe even make a card for your party hostess ... there are so many reasons to use this stamp set! (If you're making multiple cards at a time, scroll to the bottom to see a quick tip for cutting multiples)

Here’s the card I made ...

This card is super easy and quick! My favorite kind 🤣

Let’s gather the supplies needed ...

Cardstock - Basic White {159276} and Soft Succulent {155776} 

Ink Pads ... Soft Succulant {155778}, Polished Pink {155712}and Pale Papaya {155670}

Stamp Set - What’s Cookin’ {154491}

Paper Trimmer {152392}

Stampin' Seal Adhesive {152813}

Repositionable Adhesive (Optional)

Acrylic Block(s)

The first thing to do is cut all of the cardstock paper. Here are the measurements ...
Soft Succulent - 8.5"x5.5" (card base), 4.5"x3.25" and 3.5"x2.25"
Basic White - 5.25"x4", 4.25"x3" and 3.25"x2"

Starting with the Basic White pieces, you're going to apply a small amount of adhesive to the 2 smaller pieces. This is only temporary placement, so repositionable adhesive works best. If you don't have any just use a very small amount of regular adhesive. Center the smallest Basic White piece onto the middle size piece, then onto the largest piece ...

If I'm using a sentiment, I like to stamp that first onto the smallest piece. Here, I'm using Soft Succulent ink ...

After the sentiment, I like using the largest image stamp to randomly stamp over the cardstock, then use the smaller images to fill in the space.
Don't worry about the space the stamp leaves around the edges ...


After all of the stamping is done, gently pull apart the pieces. Apply regular adhesive onto the back of each piece and position on center of solid cardstock pieces, including card base. Pay attention to make sure the images are positioned upright and not upside down ...

Apply adhesive onto back of the smallest piece, and center it onto the middle size piece. Apply adhesive to the back and center over the card front. Again - pay attention so the images are not upside down ...
When completed, all of the images line up and look terrific!
You can use this technique with just about any stamp set and any colors you prefer. Here are a few other card I've made using this technique ...

QUICK TIP: If you are making multiples of this card, there is a really cool app that you can use to determine the paper cuts. It's called DyCut ... you enter in your paper size and the size of the cuts you need. It'll show you different options to cut and how many cuts you can get on one sheet ...


Pretty cool, huh? I love using this app when I'm making a bunch of cards. It makes calculating and cutting so much easier!

10 Parenting Tips/Hacks

 When you have small children, every little tip or hack helps! Here are 10 useful tips I found that I hope will  make parenting a little easier ...

1. Use a carousel to store those small Play-doh tubs. Plus, they can easily see which color they want to select!


2. Does your child like to lock doors? Add a jumbo rubber band to the doorknob to prevent them from getting locked in (or out!)

3. All kids love their own little private tent/fort! Tie a hula hoop to a tree, attach a sheet and let them enjoy their own private area!

4. Do you have to hide your candy from your child? Here's a great place they'll never think to look!

5. I don't know why I never thought of this!! Avoid the mess of ketchup by adding it to the bun first!

6. Does your little one have a ton of metal cars all over the floor? If you've ever stepped on one barefoot, you'll definitely want to keep them up & organized! Just attach magnetic knife holders to the wall to hold them.

7. I'm sure your kids love to craft, but you hate the cleanup! Use a lint roller to pick up glitter, sequins and small scraps!

8. Are your littles afraid of monsters at bedtime? Decorate an empty bottle and fill it with water (or maybe even some Febreeze!). At bedtime, spray their bedroom ... under the bed, in the closet, behind the curtains, anywhere those pesky monsters hide! 😍 

9. Uggg so many cups all over the house! How about hot gluing magnets to the side of their favorite cup?! Just stick it to the fridge and they’ll always know where their cup is!

10. Use an over the door shoe holder for easy lego storage! They can easily see all the different colors,  and choose the right piece for that masterpiece.

I hope some of these tips help you! Which is your favorite? Do you have more tips for parents? Feel free to comment with them below!
