Adding Dimension with Layering





Layering is a great technique to use on your scrapbook layouts, cards or special projects. Layering can be done in a variety of ways and can be used to add dimension to your pages. 
  • Layer patterned paper over cardstock to make a visual “frame” around the edge of your layout
  • Layer graduated sizes of cardstock as a mat to call attention to an important photo
  • Layer letter stickers over parts of your photo or other elements of your page
  • Layer embellishments such as stickers, buttons or ribbon over tags or chipboard shapes
In the "My Polynesian Paradise" layout above, I've used all of these techniques and while it's hard to tell from a photo, the layout has added visual interest because of these various layering techniques.
