Triple Time Technique with Patterned Paper

One of my favorite techniques is Triple Time and the easiest way to accomplish this look is to create the Triple Time Technique with Patterned Paper.  For today's card I grabbed a stamp set that I absolutely LOVED when I saw it in the new catalog last April and then with all the fun of the fall and winter it got a little lost.  Best Butterflies fills your card with bold images that makes for happy people when they get a card from you.

OK, so how did I get this effect so easily?  Let's get to it!

The Layers

• Card Base – Starry Sky 8 1/2″ by 5 1/2″
• First Layer – Best Butterflies patterned paper 5 1/4″ by 4″
• Second Layer – Starry Sky 5″ by 4″
• Scrap – Basic White & Parakeet Party for greeting and mat

Put It Together

1. Stamp the greeting on a scrap of Basic White and die cut with the hexagon from Something Fancy Dies
2. Die cut the hexagon from Beautiful Shapes from Parakeet Party to create a mat for the greeting
3. Die cut patterned paper with the third largest wide rectangle from the Stitched Rectangle Dies in the center of the layer
4. Die cut Starry Sky layer with simple scalloped frame from the Scalloped Contours Dies
5. Assemble card:
   • Add Basic White layer inside card
   • Add large patterned paper (with die cut rectangle from the center)
   • Add scalloped frame
   • Add Stitched Rectangle patterned paper layer
   • Attach greeting to Parakeet Party mat and add both to top layer with Stampin' Dimensionals
   • Decorate with coordinating Decorative Matte Dots
