Bases for a Quad Layer Stacked 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Card 

I used my two way glue stick to apply small dots of glue to the backside of each of the top three layers. BUT I did not attach them till the glue was no longer blue and was tacky dry. This makes the layers repositionable and able to separate after stamping.

 

I travel a lot with my husband on business. Many of his customers are husband and wife businesses. We quite often travel in our trailer. On this trip I packed up and brought some cardmaking supplies with me.

 

I picked some stamps that coordinate with all 3 of CTMH's CRICUT cartridges - Art Philosophy, Artiste and Artbooking. Then made several CRICUT cuts on selected paper, packed some corner punches and a few other punches and hoped I wouldn't miss too much from my craft room.

 

 

 The above card is too busy and needs matting under the honeycombs. I will add that when I get home again. It is too busy because I dropped a stamp on the surface and then tried to cover it up - OOPS

Here are the measurements for the quad layer stacked card.

 

Green card base is made from a 8 1/2" x 11" piece of card stock to create a base of 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"

Cut 3 more layers of green matting from CTMH's Ivy Lane paper in these dimenshions:

 

4 1/2" x 7 1/2"

3 1/2" x 6 1/2"

2 1/2" x 5 1/2"

The white cardstock layers for stamping on are these dimensions:

5 1/4" x 8 1/4"

4 1/4" x 7 1/4"

3 1/4" x 6 1/4"

2 1/4" x 5 1/4"

 

The above card is a standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" here are the dimensions for this size triple layer stacked card:
