Try this tip!

Here’s a simple tip that can elevate your card designs: cut out your stamped images! By stamping your nature scene and then cutting it out, the image extends past the edges of the cut out creating a striking effect that instantly draws the eye.  This added depth can bring your nature scenes to life, making them look like they’re popping right off the card.
