"Paper Layering" CTMH Technique Blog Hop

Welcome to our Technique Blog Hop!  

This month there are 10 of us highlighting the “Paper Layering” Technique!  This blog hop is a great big circle so you can start wherever you want and continue through to see all the fabulous artwork incorporating this technique.  

If you get lost along the way Melissa has a complete list of hop.

If you are coming from Darlys Blog, you are on the right track! 

I have 2 projects that I created using this technique.  I hope you enjoy them.

Card #1 - Season's Greetings  
For this card I layered embossed paper, strips of Holly Jolly paper, a stitched rectangle and die cut holly.  I love the look of the background paper that is embossed with the snowflake embossing folder.  The dimension you get when you layer paper makes a card or layout pop.  I used a bit of thin 3-D foam tape behind the holly die cuts.  

I have added Diamond Stickles to the elves hats.

 Card #2 - Christmas Blessings
I have used a few other paper layering techniques in this card using the
November Stamp of the Month - Family Time and the Connecting Circles overlay from the Artbooking Cricut Collection.  Here is a picture tutorial of how I created this card.

Finished Card.  Just look at all those layers and dimension.

To start with I stamped out like a million of the leaf image in Candy Apple and Clover ink.  I also stamped out the centers in Saffron ink.  I then fussy cut them all out using my favorite our non-stick scissors.  There will be a layout coming soon using these too.  

I cut a circle using the 2nd smallest of the Basic Circles thin cut (approximately 1.5").  I then layered the Clover leaves and Candy Apple leaves using the Tombow liquid adhesive to adhere.

Finished last layer of Candy Apple leaves, trimmed out center and adhered it.  I then added clear shimmer brush to all the leaves and center.  I love the sparkle it gives.  On some of the pictures you can see it.

I then used my fingers to curl up the leaves/petals of the poinsettia I created to give it more dimension.

Stamped the word Blessings from the stamp of the month in Black ink and fussy cut around it.  Stamped Christmas from the Say it in Style stamp set, dovetailed the right side and sponged Candy Apple ink around the edges.  Stamped the stitched border on the top and bottom of the card base in black ink.

Adhered the overlay using the liquid glue, next comes the patterned paper.  I added thin 3-D foam tape to the back of the word Blessings.  Adhered the poinsettia with liquid adhesive.

Tucked the dovetailed strip with Christmas under the poinsettia.  Curled the dovetailed edges up using my fingers.

This stamp set is very versatile and is only available for this month.
