How to Add Stickers to Scrapbooks

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Stephanie and I'm going to talk about adding stickers to your scrapbook. Stickers are probably the most common embellishment that most scrapbookers use. They come in so many different varieties and are great to use that way. They also come in different dimensions. For example, these are a three dimensional sticker. It's a matching set so you could use the whole thing. For example if you wanted to do a fall paper but don't feel that just because you bought a pack of stickers that you have to use every single one on one page. It's not necessary and you are going to use up your stash a lot faster. Stickers can also - here's a layout that I did using a lot of stickers from one set. One thing I put some on some metal tags just to do something a little different. One thing that you can do to kind of make your stickers pop out because I use this as my background, I feel like some of them are getting lost. So you can just take a black gel pen and trace around some and just be careful you get around the edges and it tends to just make them pop out more. And, it looks almost like they're matted without you are going to the trouble of matting them and cutting them out. A black sticker as we see it just makes that pop out better and you can do it on any part of the stickers that you have. It's a trick I use often just to make them look more dimensional or more three dimensional. As I said, you can make them look more dimensional by putting them on items that are three dimensional. This sticker set went as you can see it has a little fake button - you can even if you wanted to put a real button on there to add it - you don't have to just leave it as it is. Have fun with your stickers and use them in creative ways - you don't have to just put a sticker. You don't also - this I used stickers as a background but in general if you just have stickers that aren't anchored down - it starts to look like what they call "sticker sneeze" - like as if you sneezed stickers all around for no apparent reason. This one works because it's a layout about flowers but if I just did a layout and just had tons of stickers it just normally wouldn't look the way this one does. So just be careful when you’re using your stickers and have a lot of fun with them. "
