Several Stampin' Up! demonstrators belong to a private group to share business tips, ideas and stamping techniques with each other - which is my favorite part! This week as I was cruising through the website I spotted the Band Stamping technique and thought I would try it as I was making a video tutorial - I figured we would learn it together!
I chose to make a masculine card using the Beautiful World bundle - but you can choose what you have on hand and what kind of occasion you need.
The other items you will need to this technique are listed below but basically you should choose three colors of the same family (such as greens, blues, yellows, purples, etc) and your Stamping Sponges. I cut my sponges into small triangles and then try to keep each triangle in the same color family. If you have some washi tape and grid paper this will come in handy too! I also highly recommend Grid Paper so that you can follow the lines on the paper and keep everything nice and straight. I explain more in my video below.
Here's my card:

Here's my video - thanks for watching!
Note: I have no idea what my iPhone did while I was filming but the video is quite small. I promise you can see the full technique on it, step by step!
Thanks Joanne! It never occurred to me that the strip looks like a strip of paper. Thanks for pointing that out!

I like that band stamping technique in place of a more traditional strip of printed paper. Pinned.
