Challenge # 2 - Flowers and Lace

Hello and Welcome to our second Besties 3D Deco Blog Challenge!

Flowers and Lace

I am so thrilled that Sherri Asked me to start up this new blog to showcase her stunning new 3D Decoupage Sheets! And we are on to the second challenge already!

These Sheets are so fun and easy to use!

And all are pre-coloured beautifully.

 So for anyone who is not confident in colouring, all of the hard work has been done for you.

All you need to do is print out your sheet, cut out the pieces you wish to use, and layer them with Foam Tape, Foam Dots/squares or Silicone Glue.

New 3D Sheets are in production, so I am sure you will be hooked very quickly! I know I am!

You can Find 3D Sheets HERE

Scrapbook Stamp Society

Sherri Baldy Etsy Shop

For our blog we will also be encouraging you to create your own 3D Decoupage Besties using your Digital and Rubber Stamp Besties!

All we ask is that your My-Bestie Image has 3 or more layers, making it raised up from the surface of your Card/Project.

If you are unsure what is required to make a 3D Decoupage project, please take a look at this wonderful Tutorial by our DT Member Bonnie

3D Decoupage Tutorial by Bonnie

Our Talented DT Member Bonnie Has made this Wonderful Tutorial for us all!

Here is the Link to Bonnie's Blog http://grandmabonniesplace.blogspot.com.au/2014/02/a-little-tutorial-on-making-3-d.html

A little tutorial on making a 3-d decoupage digi stamp art using a My Besties image!

Tomorrow is the big day!  It's the day when My Besties 3-D Deco challenges begin!  So to get you all excited to participate in our first challenge, i thought i'd show you how to use a digital image to make your own 3-D decoupage image art.

For your convenience, you can purchase My Besties 3-D Deco sheets at the store, these are already set up for you and all you have to do is cut them out..check those out here.

For my example i am using a My Besties i call "Garden Hat" found here.
Here is the finished card for you to see and get you enticed to make this fun art!

Another view to see the dimension:

Here is how i made my image 3-D..a lot like paper piecing but more layers!
First you need (in this case) 5 images.   (click the image below to see the layers for this image and what i cut off each layer to make the dimension)

Once you have your image cut out in layers you can then start putting the layers back on top of the base image (layer 1).

First let's talk about glue/tape.  It is suggested on line to use silicon glue, i've not found any in the local/national craft stores..you will probably have to order it on line.  So because i didn't have any on hand, i went with the foam tape.  I should have taken a picture of where i put the tape on the back, but i didn't.  A tip would be not to have it close to the edge, as it will show.

Now let's start layering: (click pictures to see closer)
Put layer 2 on top of layer one..
(of course this picture had to be blurred)                                        Now let's add layer 3 to Layer 2

Now for layer 4 to layer 3                                            For the last layer, you will add layer 5 to layer 4

Now let's see what you can do!  Thanks for looking!

Thank you so much Bonnie, you are wonderful!

I am a 54 year old married mother of 2 grown children living in Queensland Australia, my husband and I moved to the country life 7 years ago. I have been doing some form of craft for as long as I can remember. I am a trained CPAP consultant for Sleep Apnoea and worked for local government in my later years before stopping work a couple of years ago.

I now enjoy being part of Design Teams feeding my creativity in all themes of Papercraft including Scrapbook Layouts, Card Making, Beyond The Page Projects. I only started blogging last year  and it has very quickly grown and I am very active on my blog adding projects each month. I started to apply for DT work in 2012 and am now on 3 full time teams for Scrapbooking, Cards, Decoupage and Off The Page projects.

I look forward to developing my craft and creativity now  with the Bestie Decoupage Sheets range, this is a very exciting and busy time for me. I hope to develop some new friendships during my time with you!

Bonnie

I am a second generation SAHM, which I call SAHGM. ("G" for grandma). I have been watching my grand kids since 2007. I am also going through a second generation of crafting, I have a scrapbook that is almost 60yrs old filled with all of my favorite memories. 

I've been featured in Stamper's Sampler. More of an artsy card magazine. Paper crafting isn't the only thing I like to do, if I am not working on cards or paper projects, you'd see me working at my sewing machine, crocheting or trying any new craft technique out there.. I love a challenge. Which brings me to say..

I can't wait to see what you all create for the 3-D My Besties challenges!
