Telescope Technique

 I am always looking for new ways to create a card, and I recently learned about the telescope technique. This technique uses die cuts of multiple sizes, allowing you to layer the shapes, leaving the final look as your focal point. I used the Countryside Corners Dies. In my video, I show two ways this technique can be combined. Take a look at how it's done!

Here's what you will need to create your own:

PAPER

• Card base:  Basic White 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"
• Layer (Mat):  Cal1ypso Coral 5-14" X 4"
