Triple Time Technique – Easy Wow Christmas and Guy Cards

Masculine cards can be so tricky—fewer layers, fewer embellishments… but still tons of style! In today’s video, I’m teaching you one of my all-time favorite techniques for creating bold, layered cards without the bulk: the Triple Time Technique.

This version is completely scaled down—monochromatic, greeting-only stamping, and perfect for the men in your life who prefer clean and simple designs.

I've also included a Christmas Card using the same technique.  This is just as easy to make and would be great if you're still in need of a stash of Christmas cards.
