Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper Tutorial - Shadow Blocking Card Layout

This is my first card featuring the Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper . The paper’s rich, vibrant colors really drew me in. 

The latest card layout I tried is called the Shadow Blocking Card Layout. It involves using one-inch squares arranged meticulously. The shadow is dark enough which allowing the focus to stay on the subtle designs. The card layer itself uses just one-inch by twelve-inch strips of DSP, with the top layer composed of twelve individual one-inch pieces. To ensure the pattern flows seamlessly across the card, all the squares are cut from a 3" x 4" piece of card layer, creating a cohesive and visually appealing design.

I created a template for perfect placement of the one-inch pieces of DSP. Reach out to me if you'd like to purchase the Brother ScanNCut file or click on THIS post and use the Buy Now button at the bottom of the post. It definitely makes life easier than lining up 24 pieces of DSP. I'm also working on a 3D template—stay tuned, as they may be available for purchase soon!

Introducing my custom 3D layering tool! Crafted with magnets beneath the tray, I use magnetic knobs from Amazon to securely hold each layer in place, making your crafting process smoother and more precise.
