Vellum Stamp Layering + Giveaway!
Hi there! Today’s video shares how to do vellum stamp layering. This is a great way to layer with only one ink color! I am also participating in Altenew’s 3rd Anniversary Blog Hop.

I really enjoy stamp layering stamp sets… they give such realistic results. However, I am always looking for new and creative ways to use them. Today’s tip of using vellum makes layering simple and requires only one ink color!
The Altenew Camellia Stamp Set is a gorgeous set with a large flower and cluster of leaves… and perfect for showcasing vellum stamp layering. I stamped the first/solid layer on cardstock with a dark ink. I then stamped the next two layers with the same ink on vellum and clear heat embossed. It is easy to line up the images this way! After adhering them together, I die cut them with the coordinating die.
For the first card, I used Altenew Lagoon Dye Ink for the flower and Altenew Moss Dye Ink for the leaves. I added them to a card along with a stitched frame and (discontinued) gold embellishments. Oh – and I added a layered bud from the Altenew Garden Treasures Stamp Set.
For each card, I used the “thank you” die from the Altenew Majestic Bloom Die Set along with Altenew Gold Foil Cardstock. This gives just the right amount of shine.
This next example features Altenew Firebrick Dye Ink. I really like that this technique only requires one ink for a layered flower.
I also created one card with a bit of a different design. That lovely purple color is from Altenew Deep Iris Dye Ink.
Oh – and don’t forget the matching envelopes with a white heat embossed sentiment from the Altenew Camellia Stamp Set.
I hope you try this vellum stamp layering technique. It works with most layering stamp sets and gives a new look!
