Dimension is one of the best ways to amp up a
layout, giving it depth and scale. From the most
basic of embellishments (chipboard, buttons and
brads) to the most detailed page decorations
(layered stickers, handmade flowers and
pennants), a bit of height goes a long way.
Nancy loved how quickly her first layout (below)
came together, but with a bit of extra time, she
brought dimension to her page. “With just a few
flair buttons, another flag and one border sticker,
I loved how energetic my page became,” Nancy
said. “It only took another 15 minutes to make my
layout pop!”

Save the negative leftovers from sheets of
chipboard. If you cut them into smaller pieces, they
make a great substitute for foam dots and most are
self-adhesive.

Here’s a quick way to add dimension to your entire
page in one easy step: create your central design on
a 10”x10” piece of patterned paper or cardstock (or
another size of your choosing). When you are finished,
adhere it to the center of a 12”x12” base using foam
adhesive or scraps of chipboard.

Do you love a certain sticker and want to give it the
3D treatment? Dust the back with baby powder and
attach it to your page with foam adhesive.
