One of my preferred ways to use one-dimensional stickers on cards is to adhere them to cardstock and then emboss the cardstock. Here are three cards where I used that idea:
Each of the four flowers on this card is a separate sticker. I simply adhered them all where I wanted them on the white rectangle, stamped the sentiment, and then added some texture with an embossing folder.
The front of the card is an inch narrower than the back. I used a border punch to create a scalloped edge, then added some pale pink polka dot paper so that just the scalloped edge showed. I added a strip of deep pink cardstock to the inside right edge and rounded the corners.
After matting the white rectangle with the same deep pink, I adhered it to the card front.
I think the texture nicely camouflages the stickers, making them look as though they are printed on the cardstock.
The sentiment on the inside was printed with my computer.
This tulip image is a single sticker that was adhered before embossing.
I added a die-cut sentiment and a few purple Nuvo Drops.
A stamped sentiment on the inside finished this card.
This card was made similar to the first card. I added some printed cardstock to the front, along with a thin green strip of cardstock to finish the edge. A wider strip of green was added to the bottom inside edge and the corners were rounded.
I curved the sentiment stamp in my stamp positioner to match the curve of the die-cut oval. After stamping the sentiment and adhering the sticker, I embossed it. The embossing caused the coin-edge detail from the oval die to nearly disappear, so I put the oval back into the die and ran it through my Big Shot again. That did the trick and it didn't flatten out the embossing too much.
A simple stamped sentiment on the inside finished the card.
These were all donated. I've made quite a few Easter cards for the thrift store, so now I have to buckle down and get some more cards made for my own use. Easter is coming up so fast. It will be here before we know it!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
