Technique Tuesday: Using Overlays

You may have noticed that overlays are quite the thing right now in paper crafting- they popped up on the scene just over a year ago and thankfully, CTMH was right on top of the trend and introduced overlays on our CTMH Cricut Artbooking cartridge.  They are so fun and versatile!!

You can use them just as they are – like I did in my layout below.  I layered the circle overlay from Artbooking with paper (from timberline) and my photos.  I also added in some My Crush assortments and embellishments from a variety of different CTMH products.

How else can you use overlays?

Cut them down and use portions for a fun accessory or embellishment.

Use them as a stencil to spray or sponge through.

Use them on layouts, cards or other 3D projects.

Let your imagination soar! What would you or have you created with overlays??
