Four Cards One Technique - In The Country

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am sharing four different cards using the Stacked Stamped Die Cuts Technique. This is a super easy technique using nesting dies or layering dies depending on what you call them, stamps, ink, and paper. I also have a video tutorial for the technique to share with you today.

As I mentioned this is a super easy technique using supplies that you probably already have in your crafty stash. Most people have some type of nested or layering dies that they could use. On the two example I used the Deckled Rectangle Dies and the other two examples I used the Layering Circles Dies. The best part about this technique is you can get two cards from all the work to create each card design.

On this example I stacked different colors of cardstock from the Brights Cardstock Assortment Pack to create the fun stamped colorful birthday card. I used the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set and the In the Country Stamp Set to create this card. With this technique a stamped positioning tool like the Stamparatus or the MISTI comes in handy. You want to make sure that all the layers are the same size and the images are all stamped in the same place on each layer.

For this example I used different shades of blue cardstock to create the frames. Make sure when you are stamping each layer that you are using a darker shade of ink from the cardstocks so that the images will stand out. I used Starry Sky Ink to stamp all the images on this and first card above.

The last card example uses the circle die cuts that came from the second card to create a clean and simple card design . I love how colorful you can get with this technique and that it uses supplies that most of us already have. It's a way to stretch your supplies and get more use out of them.
