Make Your Cards Stand Out With This Classy Layout

This classy card makes your colors pop!  I used the In Symmetry stamp set, but this layout would work well with any stamp set that has a large image.   Lots of papercrafting tips in this video!

TIP:  Use the scoring blade on your Paper Trimmer or Simply Scored Scoring Tool to create decorative lines in your card base.

Score your paper on the inside of the card so that your lines bulge to the outside.  Start at the 3/4″ mark and score five lines spaced 1/4″ apart.

Crushed Curry flowers with Night of Navy stems and leaves.
Image is layered on top of Night of Navy and Crushed Curry cardstock.

TIP: Pop up the main image with Stampin’ Dimenionals under the black layer and the colored layer to make those colors pop out!

Try experimenting with unusual color combinations!  Sometimes they turn out really striking!  I used Cherry Cobbler for the flowers and Memento Black for the leaves and stems.  The image is layered on top of Basic Black and Crushed Curry cardstock with Stampin’ Dimensionals between those layers.
