I made 2 cards. One is using the new Floral Spray 3D Embossing Folder. This card is vertical, but can also be horizontal. The second card is using the Scenic Coast DSP. Your embossed panels must line up exactly. Same if you use DSP.

Clue #1  Vertical/Portrait OR Horizontal/Landscape card, gather your supplies: 

Card Stock card base
–  1 @ 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4 OR 4-1/4 x 11, scored at 5-1/2
–  2 @ 4 x 5-1/4, same color if embossing (Hint: Use 3 of these panels to create 2 cards)

Designer Series Paper 
–  2 @ 3-3/4 x 5, Must match the scene or pattern you are using, if you are not embossing.

White/Vanilla CS 
–  1 @ 4 x 5-1/4, inside writing panel, if needed
–  1 @ front of card sentiment 

Embellishments    small optional
– for embellishments, use something that goes along with your DSP. Embellishments are not needed, especially with scenic DSP.

Cut one piece of the embossed panel or DSP into strips. For something a little different, I cut this embossed panel from the right at 1/2″, 3/4″, 1/2″, 3/4″, 1/2″ and that leaves a 1″ piece. For my piece of DSP, I cut 1/2″ strips. On the embossed panels, use the 3 1/2″ strips adhered with dimensionals directly over the same pattern on the underneath piece. For the second card, use the other 3 pieces and adhere them with dimensionals over the same pattern on the underneath panel. I embossed the flower and fussy cut it to add to the front of my card.

I hope you like this “double vision” card! Please join us if you like to make a card without knowing what it is until you are done!!

Stamping Stray Ducklings March 2026 Blog Waddle – Technique Time!

Leave a comment

Welcome to our March Blog Waddle! We call ourselves ducklings, so we waddle from blog post to blog post, instead of hopping!! We are featuring cards using a stamping technique. I chose the spotlight technique. Here’s a little preview of my card.

I selected the Lovely Arrangements stamp set (#167169) for my card. An open design really shows off this technique. This stamp set is part of a bundle and a suite, for extra savings! I started with a Petal Pink card base. Then took a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White and randomly stamped the two flowers in Secret Sea ink. Using the third from the smallest die from Everyday Arches Dies (#164629), I cut a shape from this layer. Using petal Pink ink and a Small Blending Brush (#160518), I colored the flowers on the tag. This is the feature of the spotlight technique, to highlight a portion of the card with color and a cut out shape.

I popped up the arch tag on Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a 2025-2027 (Secret Sea) In Color Flat Pearl (165192). The sentiment was stamped in Secret Sea and then punched out with the Three Banner Punch (167050). To make the sentiment pop, I punched a piece of Secret Sea with the Three Banner Punch, cut it in the middle and adhered the sentiment, showing some of the Secret Sea on each end. A loop of retired Basic White ribbon completed the tag.

Any shape can be used to create a spotlight on your card! What do you think you might try?
