September 2025 Release Day

The Great Cover-Up

January 5, 2022      Papertrey Ink      Leave a Comment

 

Hi everybody, welcome to our next episode of The Great Cover-Up!  Svitlana will be your guide today!


Let’s get started!

Recently 3D embossing folders became very popular. You can create an impressive texture using them. I’m sharing the idea of a similar effect you can create without an embossing folder.

I created the texture by adhering tone-on-tone foliage die-cuts of Into the Blooms: Dahlia onto a panel. To intensify the 3D  effect I made each element dimensional by die-cutting it twice out of the same cardstock as the background panel and once out of a lighter cardstock. After die-cutting I stacked die-cuts using a liquid adhesive.

Perfect Match: Enchanted Evening was used for the background panel and Perfect Match: Spring Rain was used for the top die-cuts.

After I adhered all dimensional elements onto the panel I blended Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink onto them to make them blend a bit more with the background. I also pearlized the background by sprinkling it with water mixed with Perfect Pearls.

To make the sentiment I used the On the Border: Leaves Die Set. Several blue silver foil confetti were added to accentuate the card.

PAPER: Stamper’s Select White, Perfect Match: Enchanted Evening, Perfect Match: Spring Rain
DIES: Into the Blooms: Dahlia, On the Border: Leaves
OTHER: Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink, Perfect Pearls, Confetti Mix
