As Lynn proved here, dimension doesn’t have to
stand still. She was inspired by one of her son’s
bobbleheads and wanted to bring that type of
motion to her page. “I love how bobbleheads
jiggle and nod, and thought the same kind of
action would be so much fun to add to a scrap-
book page,” Lynn shared. “When I put my layout
in a page protector, I trimmed small holes for
the wiggling embellishments to pop through.”
Sandwich a small coil of craft wire between two
cardstock circles using glue dots. Then add a
button or other embellishment to the top circle
to add movement to your pages and projects.

surrounded by dimension, from the
layered tags to the circle-punched
snowflake on the right side.

3D tips from
lynn
Using your thumb nail, curl up the ends or tips
of banners, pennants, leaves, petals and other
small shapes.
Before die cutting a shape, crumple the paper and
smooth it out to add texture. A light sanding over
the wrinkles looks great, too!
When applying adhesive, avoid the very edges
of the element. When you stick it down, those
edges will lift a bit, casting a light shadow.
To add depth to a sticker, apply it to a scrap of
cardstock and cut it out.
