I really enjoy making bold color cards, and today’s technique is perfect for that! You can do this fun stacking technique with many different die shapes.

I started each card with six different colors of cardstock… all cut to the same size. I also cut the shadow die from the Neat and Tangled Celebrate Die Set in the center of each piece. After cutting horizontally through each piece, I adhered the pieces on top of each other but slightly offset for a stacked, stair-step look.

I also used the “celebrate” sentiment die from the Neat and Tangled Celebrate Die Set to cut from the six colors of cardstock. I adhered each die cut together with a Quickie Glue Roller Pen to create a dimensional sentiment and added it in the center of the stacked pieces on the card front. I also white heat embossed the greeting from the Neat and Tangled Celebrate Stamp Set.

I created another example with one of my all-time favorite dies – theย Neat and Tangled Awesome Die Set. This die is incredible. I love this color combo!

I also gave both cards a bit of subtle shimmer with my Shimmer Spritz. Game changer.

    Looks great, I love the Quickie Glue Pen too! I was thinking it would be another cool technique to inset the layers, rather than stack, to cut down on the bulk, but…I think I’d have to use nested dies to do that?

    OMG, I LOVE this!
