When you want to make a really impressive card, layering is an easy technique. Today we’re going to see two samples. Here’s the first card.
To recreate it you will need
Medallion3-D Sticker by Plane Class -# 1621
White card – 5” x 7”
Craft knife
Black cardstock
Fuchsia foil paper
Scissors
Pencil and ruler or paper trimmer
Adhesive, regular and dimensional
1. Use the craft knife to carefully remove each sticker from the backing paper. Put the large circle, the small square, and the small medallion stickers on black cardstock.
2. Trim the large circle to a 4” square.
3. Trim close to the small square and small medallion. Set these aside
4. Put the two remaining circles on fuchsia foil paper, and trim the larger one as close to the edge as possible. Trim the smaller circle, leaving a ¼” border.
Your elements should look like this:
5 Adhere the black square in the center of the card front.
6 Use dimensional adhesive to add the rest of the elements.
7 Add the fuchsia circle, then the black square (turn this to form a diamond, as shown).
8 Add the smaller fuchsia circles and the black element.
9 Add the corner stickers, and a line sticker as shown.
I couldn’t find the sticker I used on the website, but there were several others, and this sample will show you one technique. Try using different colors of cardstock and/or foil for a completely different look, or trimming the stickers in different ways.
Here is the second card.
This one is made from a rubber stamp from Sweet Impressions Stamps. You will need:
Five Sided Medallion Stamp U430J
Clear acrylic block and stamp adhesive
6”x6” white card
Parchment paper
White pigment inkpad
Opalescent embossing powder
Heat Gun
Scissors
Adhesive, regular and dimensional
Piercing tool
Foam pad
Glitter Gelly Roll Pen ( Sakura)
5 Crystal Stickers
1. Attach the stamp to the acrylic block. Ink the stamp and stamp 3 times on white parchment. Sprinkle with the embossing powder and heat.
2. Cut the inside element from one image, and a larger element from the second image.
3. Place remaining image, embossed side down, on a foam pad. Pierce all around the image. Turn over and cut out the image as shown.
Your stamp and images should look like this:
5. Adhere the largest image to the card front. Draw around the image with the iridescent pen.
6. Use dimensional adhesive to add the second image.
7. Carefully cut almost to the center of the smallest image. Curl the petals up with your hand. Adhere with dimensional adhesive.
8. Place a crystal sticker in the center of the image, and at each corner of the card.
