One Stamp-Three Cards with Three Color Combos

Today's post is about taking one stamp/die set and trying it out with different color combinations.  Below are three examples using the Dahlia Turnabout Stamp and Die Set from Concord & 9th.

This stamp set is a turnabout, which means you stamp four times, turning your template one time after each stamp.  Here is a video showing how.  I used the Tim Holtz Stamp Platform as you really do need a stamp positioner for turnabout stamps.

Bazzill Guacamole Cardstock is the base for this one.  First I stamped Strawberry, Butter Bar, Just Rust and Feather ink from Hero Arts onto Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock.  Then I die cut with Stitched Square Die Set and then die cut brown cardstock with Square Die Set both from The Stamps of Life.  

That bow is made with Snug Hug Seam Binding in Chalk White.  A wonderfully talented lady named Becca Feeken runs the blog Amazing Paper Grace.  It was one of her early tutorials that I learned how to make this.  I highly suggest following her!

This card uses Rich Cocoa and Potters Clay inks from Memento and Butter Bar and Nest inks from Hero Arts.  It's put together just like the first card with Kraft Cardstock from Michaels.  The sentiment is stamped in Versa Mark Ink and heat embossed with Ranger Gold Embossing Powder.  Thin twine from my stash is wrapped three times and tied with a knot.

This time I used Hero Arts Sapphire and Aqua and Memento's Summer Sky inks.  Using my Big Shot I die cut the stamped image with the Dahlia Die and then The Stamps of Life Stitched Circles and Lacey Circles from Spellbinders.  The sentiment is heat embossed with Stampin Up's Silver Embossing Powder.  For a final element I scored the edges of the base with my Martha Stewart Score Board.

If you look closely at the first card - the center is all lined up and as you look through the other two, they aren't - practice makes perfect and the first card I made is the blue one.  Special care to make sure everything is tight against the stamp positioner with insure better results.

Have a great day and keep crafting!
