Nested Die Technique

To try this technique yourself, prepare the focal point of your card. It can be something you stamp or a piece of designer series paper. Next, lay several nested shape dies on top, in the location you would like to highlight. Run this through your die cutting machine, and then remove the pieces.

How To Use The Pieces

Here’s where it gets fun. You can play around with the pieces you’ve cut and use them in various ways.

Here are a few ideas:

Pop up the center as well as alternating pieces
Pop up the center with two layers of dimensionals, and the next piece with one layer of dimensionals, then attach others directly to the card
Remove one or more pieces and don’t use them at all

Featured Cards & Stamps
