Matting and Layering

Matting and layering is an essential technique in card making, helping to frame your main design. This involves cutting layers of your backing cards and papers to gradually build up to your focal image. Experiment with colours and textures to find the perfect combination!

Bringing Your Card to Life

The heart of your card lies in its focal point, often a topper or a piece of 3D decoupage. These elements, when attached with foam pads, bring depth and interest to your card.

SHOP Card Toppers

Our Die Cut Decoupage is your go-to solution for crafting heartfelt, handmade cards in a flash. Layer by layer, watch these scenes come together, creating depth and character that breathe life into your card making.
