Do you like dimension on your cards? Would you like to see an easy way to add dimension over a ‘whole’ card front?
But first, I wanted to let you know that this post is part of a Hop celebrating a new release from Altenew and you can find all of the hop details in the link list below!
Technique Idea – Don’t be Scared of Dimension!
One easy way to take your homemade cards to the next level is to add dimension. Today I created a ‘card front’ of dimension using the bouquet from the Cupped Flowers Stamp Set. Multi-stamp layering and coordinating dies made this technique quick and easy to do.
I simply stamped out 3 of the bouquets and placed them around the front of the card covering as much of the area as possible. I added foam tape to the back of the images, then I flipped the card over and cut away the excess. I was then able to use these pieces to ‘fill in’ the gaps.
PRO TIP: Want less dimension? You can simply skip adding the foam tape and adhere the images directly to the front of the card front instead.
I decided to take my dimension a step further and also popped up the sentiment from the Rainforest Leaves Wreath Builder Bundle.
