Step-It-Up Day 3 with Tropical Chic

July Step-It-Up Series Day 3 Card Tutorial
Today is the final day of the Step-It-Up Series for July.  This tutorial is more geared towards avid stampers, or crafters who have a decent crafting arsenal.  Of course, that doesn't mean one needs to be an avid crafter to make this though.  It just has a greater supply list, and generally, the avid designs have some more intricate instructions or techniques.  For this design, adhering layers on top of thicker trim can be tricky.  It is a lot easier to do when you have Dimensionals, or better yet, Mini Dimensionals.  Even using Mini Dimensionals, I still needed to cut some smaller in order to fit them between the lengths of trim.  I put the Dimensional pieces on the card between the Braided Linen Trim and then added the sentiment layer afterwards.  It seems a little backwards, but it makes for a much easier and quicker way to finish a card.
