3D Cards - I am back!

It's been awhile since my last post.  My husband and I are visiting family and friends in Canada. We have been living in Latin America for a year and summer is the best time to have a vacation in North America. We were not around during the Winter Olympics, so there are lot's of changes in Vancouver since we left.

At the moment, we are in BC Interior. It is beautiful here, especially during the summer. Apples are starting to ripen. We just missed the Cherry season. I will be posting some pictures soon.

Before we came up to Canada,  I finished some 3D Cards.  These were meant to be entries in the 3D Tuesday Challenge in one of the groups I recently joined. I was not able to submit these cards because we were so busy packing during our last days before our trip.

For this 3D card, I used the Decoupage Paper Napkins technique for the bird as my focal point. I attached printed/designer napkin tissue on a chipboard. I used  Mod Podge as glue and Matte Finish. I framed my decoupage art and I embellished my card with ribbons and some charms. For the sentiment , I used the K and Company sentiment stickers.

For this card, I used Cricut Expression for the leaves.  For the border, I used the Martha Stewart punch .

I embellished this 3D card with Prima Flowers. I used a rubber stamps for the sentiments. Stay tuned for more projects, tutorials and news to come.

Acrylic Album

Scrapbooking using Acrylic Album or  Clear Album is another cool way to show case your photos. Clear albums allow you to use different techniques in Scrapbooking. You can do embossing, hole punching, inking and stamping. You will enjoy to embellish your Clear Album with rub-ons and 3D accents. You will be challenge in positioning your photos because it is a see through, whatever item you put on one page it will be seen to the next page. But, that is the fun thing about  Scrapbooking anyway. You have to LEARN and CREATE.

On this page, I used Bo Bunny Rub-ons. Had cut 3D butterfly from my Cricut Expression. For the other one,  I stamped a butterfly and I applied Liquid Embossing and used Glue Dots to adhere. I like the effect on the album. It looks like a butterfly is flying on top of the flower.

In this page, I simply used  Flower Embellishments from Prima. The secret in making a nice Acrylic Album is hiding your adhesives wisely. You really  need to position your photos and embellishments properly so no adhesives showing. You can also use a Vellum adhesive because they are really good for transparency projects.
