Getting Sticky!

Sassafras cardstock stickers have to be one of my all time “must have” products to create with.
From the whimsical Banners to the adorable Sweet Treats – I just love them all, but my ultimate favourite has to be the Journal Stickers.

I love to use Sassafras Journal Stickers to create fun and layered backgrounds for my pages – but I’ll confess to being more than a little hesitant when it comes to attaching the stickers directly to the page, as I am fearful that once attached I’ll have a change of mind and want to move my sticker to elsewhere – I guess you could say I suffer from “sticker issues”.


A single page layout can see me “paper pushing” around the page for a good hour or so, before I finally commit to reaching for my adhesive – so to solve my “sticker issues” I simply adhere the stickers to cardstock scraps and then cut them out - by doing this, I can “paper push” my stickers around the page until I am absolutely certain of their position.


Creating a page using Journal Stickers as your background works especially well when they are layered up – and when used with black and white photos they add fun pops of colour.


To create additional texture, on this page,  I home printed my photograph directly on to a sheet of canvas and attached it to the page using 3d foam tape.


By applying the sticker accents to cardstock, this also allows me to layer up and attach these fun embellishments to my page using 3d foam pads – which is a great way to add dimension to your designs.


Using these fantastic Sassafras scrapbooking products really does make creating scrapbook pages a breeze.


Have fun with your stickers and thanks for dropping by.

Ha! I totally do that with my Sass journalling stickers too. And I LOVE their banner stickers, one of their best inventions yet, they appear on so many of my pages. I love that you can mix and match their lines so easily as you have done in this LO, looks fab!
