Tip
My tip for today is on how to layer a decorative label. You don't need to have all sizes of labels. You can layer them. Check out the pictures below. |
| 1. Using a ruler, mark the back of the decorative label |
 |
2. Cut on the lines and paste them
underneath the label to provide a raised effect. |
 |
| Please notice that I used a different decorative label from the ones on the pictures that show how to make the layers. |
You can add more layers if you choose to do so.
Thank you for stopping by. Happy crafting!
