Using Simple Layers to Make Your Handmade Cards Special

Handmade-card-stampin-up-share-a-milkshakeWant to make your handmade cards extra special by adding simple layers?

On this card, created with the Share A Milkshake Bundle (English) [160396], there are several layers simply created with different cuts of card stock and patterned paper. It's the combination of colors, patterns, and textures that add so much interest!

You can see this card demonstration on the following recording of a LIVE broadcast from this week.  It's a bit comical!  I tried to be so organized and it backfired on me ...just a little.

Here are some of the details and measurements for these layers...
