On to the Peonies - Today’s video features the beautiful Peonies suite. Even if you don’t have the stamps and dies in this suite, be sure to watch the video for some tips on shading your dies cuts to make them “pop” from the page. I also talked a little about layout. When you find a layout that you like, you can use that same layout for many many cards.
For example, in the card below, I use my standard card size 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. Then I use a layer of DSP cut to 5 1/4 X 4. I take a contrasting piece of DSP or cardstock cut to 2 x 4 1/4 and finish the bottom. Then I place either a die cut piece or a larger banner at the top and either a ribbon or a sentiment below it and it is always the same layout but never looks like the same card.
As you build your stamping experiences, you add to your standard layouts and that gives you the starting inspiration.
