Love working with stickers, but find they sometimes fall flat? Raise your level of expectation -- and give your stickers depth -- with this dimensional technique offered by New York host Joy Macdonell! Materials: Craft knife
Ruler
Pencil
Foam tape
Stickers (in this example, stickers from Stickopotamus® are used)
- Cut cardstock into a 2-1/2" x 11-1/2" strip, then cut a contrasting color of cardstock into a 2-3/4" x 11-3/4".
- On back surface of the 2-1/2" x 11-1/2" strip, measure and mark pencil lines at 1/2" from all four edges.
- Beginning at the end of the strip, make 1/2" in, them measure and mark a 1-1/2" square.
- Continuing from the 1-1/2" square, measure 1/2" and create a new mark. Then, measure and mark a 1-1/2" square. Continue this pattern until the end of the strip is reached (figure A).
- Mark an "x" in the 1-1/2" squares, then cut squares from the strip (figure B) using a craft knife and metal ruler (or use a square punch if available).
- On back of the 2-3/4" x 11-3/4" strip, begin measuring and marking pencil lines 3/4" from the long edges and 1-1/4" from the ends.
- Beginning at the end of the strip, mark a 1-1/4" square, followed by a 3/4" increment. Alternate measurements until the end of the strip is reached (figure C).
- Mark an "x" in the 1-1/4" squares along the strip. Use metal ruler and craft knife (or square punch) to cut squares from the strip.
- Adhere smaller strip on top of larger strip (figure D), then place foam tape along the back of the border and adhere to scrapbook page.
- Place sticker or other embellishments in the windows to create a look of dimension (figure E).
