A new technique

Pin It Now! I have seen a new technique showcased on quite a few other stampin' blogs & finally decided to try my hand at it. I don't know what the proper name of the technique is but the name I've heard in several different forums is Triple Mat. To be honest I was a bit intimidated when I first saw the technique & filed it away in the back of my mind with all those other "looks amazing but I can't do that; it's too much work" techniques/projects. Do y'all know what I mean? ;)  Well after watching an easy to follow video over at Stamp & Scrap with Frenchie I was determined to try it. She broke it down & had everything measured out so I went ahead & did one after the video was over. In fact it's a whole lot easier than I originally thought & now I'm addicted to making these! Here's (one of) the first ones I've done ~ so far ;)
All of the cards I've seen using this technique have all been with flowers & leaves; I have (as of this posting) not seen any that are kid-friendly so I wanted to see what one would look like. I'm really happy with the way it turned out & I can use it for nieces & nephews birthdays by just changing up the color combos.

I didn't take step-by-step pictures but if you'd like a visual Brian King has pictures walking ya through it. You can go check out Frenchie if you'd like to take a peek at the video that helped me get through it ;) Go on & give it a try but don't say I didn't warn ya: they're addicting! :)

Have a great day stampin'!
