Elevate Your Designs Dimensional Challenge
5 PM Challenge - International Scrapbook Day 🎨
It’s 5:00 PM and it's time to add some depth to your pages! This hour, we are going to literally elevate our designs with this challenge.
Challenge #5: Use Adhesive Foam for 3D Effects
Adding a bit of adhesive foam can transform a flat page into an epic landscape. It's all about making elements stand out and giving your pages a lively, tactile feel. Today, I'm sharing a special project that showcases my ideal day — spread across two pages, with some elements popping right off the page thanks to adhesive foam!
Why This Matters
Dimensional designs invite the viewer to touch and explore the page. By elevating elements off the page, you draw attention to key features and create a mini-stage for your most cherished memories.
Using 3D elements on your page can enhance the visual impact of your projects. This technique allows for shadow play, depth, and focus, which can be used to highlight important aspects of your story. The raised elements can make your pages more interactive and enjoyable to look at when you’re flipping through your album.
How to Participate
Select Your Materials: Grab some adhesive foam, I really like the Tombow and Scrapbook.com ones, but you can also pick some up can be found at your local dollar store.
Create Your Layout: Apply the foam behind key elements on your page. Think about which parts of your story you want to bring to the forefront.
Share Your Masterpiece: Upload your dimensional pages to our Substack chat or on the ALP app. Show us how you use elevation to add excitement to your scrapbooks!
