Scrapbook & Cards Today Blog: SCT Design Team Fun - Day 9 featuring Kimber McGray...and one more!

Happy Friday! Today we have design team member Kimber McGray joining us...our card expert extraordinaire! Kimber has been with SCT since way back in 2007 and continues to share her talents and inspire our readers every issue all the while writing best selling book after best selling book for cardmakers! For those that have had the opportunity to take one of Kimber's classes at Crop & Create then you know what a sweet, down-to-earth designer she is. Here's Kimber...

"For ANY project I create, I go through a TON of foam squares. They are the secret behind a nice project and a WOW project, in my opinion! They turn a flat sticker or die-cut into a cool, 3D embellishment.

Supplies: Cardstock: Bazzill Card Shoppe; Pattern Paper, Die-Cuts: Jillibean Soup Happy Camper Stew; Stickers: Jillibean Soup Alphabeans; Epoxy Button: Jillibean Soup; Circle Punch: Stampin' Up!; Twine: May Arts; Foam Adhesive: 3L Scrapbook Adhesives

On this card here, I used foam adhesives between layers of paper to pop up a large epoxy button, to add die-cuts to the card.

When I create layouts, I use more foam adhesive squares than I use regular adhesive. I love the way the final projects have dimension and interest.

If you've never used foam adhesive with your projects, give it a try. You will become an addict!" ~ Kimber
