About this class

One Layer Card That Stands Out

Sacrificing dimension to avoid extra postage fees doesn't mean your cards have to look flat or boring. In this class, you'll learn strategic multi-masking tricks that trick the eye into seeing rich, overlapping layers, on a completely flat, mail-ready card base.

What you'll learn

  • Stack multiple image masks to create complex, multi-element scenes on one flat card.
  • Keep one-layer cards completely flat while building detailed overlapping stamp layouts.
  • Blend background inks smoothly over masked foreground images without ink leaks.
  • Sequence stamp impressions correctly so foreground elements always stay in front.
  • Peel off detailed paper masks cleanly without lifting or damaging cardstock fibers.
  • Craft mailable, bulk-free cards that feature rich, dimensional stamped artwork.
