Add some dimension to those fall cards by adding layers and layers of nested cutouts! Your craft table will thank you!
With Fall being in the air and holidays to come, Shelly made a ‘thankful’ card today using the nested rounded square die to create a layered masterpiece. We love the simplicity of this card and how even with a large white space, it feels full and festive due to her bright colors and lovely layers. Follow along for steps on recreating this awesome autumn card.
