How To Use Masking Paper

In todays post I’m going to share how to use masking paper. Well one of the ways you can use masking paper – there are lots. We’ll cover more ways to use this fabulous paper in future blog posts.

I chose to use the Bottled Happiness bundle for todays project for a couple reasons. First of all, I thought the bottles would be a perfect for this technique. And secondly, I thought it would make a great masculine card for my brothers birthday in June.

You can see by masking the bottles, it gives the card some depth. It appears that the bottles are behind others. So let’s see just how easy it is to do this.

1. Stamp image onto masking paper.
2. Cut out the image, cutting right on the line.
3. Peel off the backing.
4. Position masking paper over stamped image.
5. Stamp the next image. This will be the one that you want to appear as though it’s behind the first image you stamped.
6. Remove masking paper. Repeat as needed.

Here’s a look at the finished card.
