Here is the final card we made at our stamp club workshop in May. The Herringbone Technique is a great way to use up any leftover strips of designer series paper you may have lying around. I will definitely be trying this again in the near future.
The instructions indicate that you need to use a Xyron to add adhesive to the card stock on which you will be adding your strips of paper. I did not. I used a regular tape runner but made sure I covered the entire piece of card stock with the adhesive. No little parts of un-stickiness left uncovered. :)
Supplies:
Stamps: Word Play Paper: This and That Epic Day DSP, Whisper White, Early Espresso Ink: Baja Breeze, Garden Green and Early Espresso Markers, Sahara Sand Accessories: Label Framelits, Sponge Dauber, Dimesionals, Glue Dots, White Button, Brad, Gumball Green Ribbon
You can find a great tutorial on the Triple Stamping Technique on Splitcoaststampers. I followed these instructions using the Artistic Etchings stamp set and the Very Vintage Jumbo Wheel to make my card. Converting the Wheel to a Clear Mount Stamp By the way, I don't actually use Very Vintage in it's "wheel form" anymore. I have taken it off the wheel and use it as a background stamp. Once again, Stampin' Pretty has a great tutorial on how to take your stamp off the wheel. Just click HERE.

Envelope: Using the Stampin' scoring tool and diagonal plate, score at 2- 1/4" at top and bottom corners. Flip patterned paper 180 degrees and score again at both corners. Fold to make envelope.

I am an elementary music teacher and SU! demonstrator with a paper addiction used for stamping and scrapbooking. I began this blog as a way for me to keep record of the cards I have made.
