Tuesday Tiips - Layer Dimensionals


Did you know that you can stack Stampin' Dimensionals?  Today's card has several layered elements.  Take a look at how the two rows of punched circles on today's card are each at different heights above the card surface.  This look is created by using "stacks" of Stampin' Dimensionals.

How is this done?  It's as simple as it sounds.  A message on your card might be adhered using one layer of dimensionals, yet an image could be adhered on the same card using two or three stacked Stampin' Dimensionals.  Since the Stampin' Dimensionals have paper backing on both sides, it's easy to do.  Remove the backing on one side of a dimensional & apply to the back of what you want to adhere.  Then, remove the backing from the flipside of the dimensional & press on another un-backed dimensional.  Now you have a double decked dimensional sandwich!  You can stack even three or four dimensionals, depending on how tall you want the element to sit on your project!



This is what my card looked like after I stacked the More Mustard cs circles.  The lower row has only one layer of dimensionals, whereas the row that sits slightly higher has two layers of Stampin' Dimensionals.


The Soft Suede dsp layer uses three layers of dimensionals, raising it above all the punched circles.  Sometimes I actually need to think about how many dimensionals to add, to make sure an element is even and level! 



The tip for this week:  layer dimensionals!

Give it a try!
