Stamp Simply Challenge #35 - Trio of Panels

Keyword ssnotime35-There is no time limit. You can play this challenge and upload yourproject at Splitcoastand/or your Blog, anytime at all! You (and that means anyone and everyone, blogger or not!)can play as many times as you like!!! The point is to keep it simple, quick and have fun!!! Please link back here.

The challenge this week is to create a trio of panels for your card. Your panels can be any size or shape, and you may put them on your card in any configuration at all — just get 3 panels on your card — that’s it!!! I love making pieces and then quickly putting them all together to form a card — and I love working in 3’s — so this challenge combines them both!!! Just have fun and, as always, try to keep it simple!!

Here are some samples:

This card is 5.5″ square and I use 6″ envelopes, so even though the top sentiment circle extends beyond the top of my card, it still fits in the envelope. My 3 white panels are cut 1.5 x 4.25″, and narrowly matted. My ties, from Menswear by Flourishes, are paper pieced onto Boxer paper by Basic Grey. That is the greatest paper for guys — just love it!!! The sheets look exactly like material for either cotton boxer shorts or silk ties — LOL!!! I decided to go with the silk ties for today!!!! The brads for tie tacks are SU.

The Happy 60th Birthday was easily done using the JustRite D.I.Y Monogram Stamper (C-45). I used the Small Letters for the perimeter Happy Birthday and for the *th* on 60th, and I used the Medium/Large Numbers for the 60. After stamping it on white paper, it was then cut and embossed using my Circle Nestabilitiesand then matted. The sentiment could justas easily have said Happy Father’s Day on the perimeter with a larger DAD in the center — how fun!!!
