I needed to make a quick card because I have been purging my craft room and I let my sister-in-laws birthday catch me off guard. These layered dies are wonderful for making quick, yet beautiful, cards. This set is from Altenew – Layered Medallions.

I changed my layout several times, initially using both shelves and all of the cups and plates with one coffee pot. In the end I went with only two plates, a coffee pot and several cups. I cut out the word “love” using the 
I used my Misti to plan out my card layout. I used 
To create the look that some flowers are behind others, you need to create and use masks. To do this, stamp onto a Post-It note and then cut close to the edge of the image. Place this over the “front” image and then stamp behind. Save these masks for future use. They can be used over and over. I put them on the page from the stamp set so it all stays together.

When assembling the card I used foam tape behind the center flower and doubled the foam tape behind the bees so they would stand out a little more. Yellow polka dotted background paper made the flowers pop. A couple iridescent sequins finished off the card nicely.
I decided to make this into a shaker card. The schools colors were red and white, so I chose papers and sequins in those colors. I stamped the cap with
