Have you ever seen those cool, three dimensional stickers for scrapbooking and other crafts? The ones you would love to get but that cost about a million dollars a sheet? Well, today, I made my own 3D stickers, and they didn't cost a ton of money either!
You will need:
- Cardstock in cool colors and patterns
- Foam craft sheet (or any other foam you happen to have lying around)
- Paper punches, or some other way to chop shapes out of your cardstock
- Glue and scissors
Here's what you do:
- Punch out shapes from your cardstock. We have a thingy called a Sizzix that punches out shapes from paper and fabric, and anything else you might want shapes punched out of. Or you could use paper punches, or you could cut out shapes by hand. Or you could just ask a friend who happens to have a Sizzix and paper punches.
- Now, cut out a square from your craft foam that is smaller than one of your cardstock shapes. Glue this between two of your shapes. This is what makes your sticker 3-dimensional!
- I didn't use any more than two pieces of craft foam in one sticker (and only one in the smaller flower ones), but experiment to see what you like best.
- Enjoy experimenting with making your own three dimensional stickers! You can use your new stickers to make cards, scrapbook pages, or any other project that needs something like this.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! I will hopefully be posting more soon (but don't get your hopes up too much, I'm afraid).
