Dimensional Layered Frames Tip

A while back my tip was shared by Stampin' Up! on Instagram.  I thought it would be fun to show it here on my blog for those who are not on Instagram.  So, without further adieu...

...Give your cards a huge presence by creating dimensional layered frames.  This is the perfect type of card to tuck in a gift bag, to attach to a present, or to hand deliver as it's a bit too bulky to send in the mail.  To make a dimensional frame for you hand stamped artwork follow the steps below for a 5" square card:

Step 1.)  Adhere a 3 5/8” square piece of  DSP to a 4” square piece of cardstock.  Next, score along all four edges of the top DSP layer using a Scoring Blade in a Stampin’ Trimmer.  

Step 2.)  Clip out the four corners along the scorlines using Paper Snips.  

Step 3.)  Fold upward on all the scorelines.  

Step 4.)  For the second layer cut a 4 1/2” square piece of cardstock, score 1/4” on all four sides, then clip out the four corners along the scorelines.

Step 5.)  Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the first layered piece.  

Step 6.)  Align the first layer into the second larger layer and fold up the sides. 

Step 7.)  Add your artwork.
