More from the Pathfinder paper! The "hits just keep on coming"  LOL!

Any card can be done with BT then a few layers  up to the finial stamped image. Go just one more step by folding back the cover down the center. Then add your BT and the layered image. WaLa!

Tripple or Double stamping!

Have you tried the Triple or Double stamping technique yet? It is great with flowers, flourish and the CTMH Fall Harvest C1504 stamp set. So easy to do!

Double or Triple Layered Stamping
Directions:
~Using repositional adhesive adhere your light colored cs, as if they were one-all centered out.
~Stamp your images, using all your ink colors. *If you are going to do any Generation stamping be sure to do the first “stamp off” on scrap paper!
~Take your three pieces apart and add your mats. Then adhere all three together as one unit.
