Mid Week Midnight Madness...... "Melissa's 3-D Easy Peasy Tutorial"

Welcome to the
"Mid Week Midnight Madness Tutorial"
(click here if you are looking for this weeks sketch challenge)

I would like to thank Melissa for taking the time out to do a tutorial for the Midnight Madness Blog. Melissa is our Guest Designer Diva for the Month of August and I just want to say what a pleasure it has been to work with her. Stay tuned for our Weekly Bonus winner to be revealed later today and then Our Newest September Guest Designer will be annouced on Friday. Have fun with Melissa's tutorial and I hope your projects will take on the "POP" factor for just that much more added fun!!!

The big thing right now is making things Pop right off your scrapbook pages and cards with 3 Dimensional stickers. So why not make your own. These are especially fun for Christmas time. You can use a stamped sleigh, stocking or even a Christmas tree and make it look like they are filled with goodies! It also works well with stamped flowers. It makes them look so real. I decided to make a 3-D Sleigh filled with lots of goodies and presents. Here is how to do it. Easy Peasy!
Step 1: Stamp your image twice using Black Staz-On ink onto white cardstock. Color in the images.
Step 2: Using a glue pen, add glitter to highlight the images. Glitter also makes things pop. For this particular image, I applied the green glitter to the bottom part of only 1 of the sleighs. And the white glitter to the top portion of the other sleigh.
Step 3: Trim around the 1 sleigh with the green bottom, making it the size of the panel you would want.
Step 4: Trim out just the top part of the second sleigh. Apply pop dots to back.
Step 5: Adhere the top part of the sleigh over the entire image.
Step 6: Adhere stamped images or stickers between the two layers of the sleighs, to make them appear as if they are coming out of the sleigh.
Step 7: Adhere to card front.
We would love to see yours too! If you make one, please leave a comment here with the link to it! Have fun!! And Happy Holidays! They'll be here before we know it!!
Hugs...
