Epoxy Stickers
From LoveToKnow Scrapbooking
Epoxy stickers are a great design element for scrapbook projects. You can find an epoxy sticker to fit just about any scrapbook project.
Why Use Epoxy Stickers?
Epoxy stickers are smooth, shiny and raised stickers. Sometimes called bubble stickers, they add dimension to scrapbook pages because they don't lie flat on the paper like regular stickers.
The stickers work well for any scrapbook project that requires colorful and fun decorations, such as the following:
- Kids' scrapbooks
- Birthday pages
- Graduation pages
- Pet pages
- Camping pages
- Baby shower pages
- First day of school pages
You will find that you need less decoration on a page with epoxy stickers because they fill a page nicely. The stickers also tend to hold up well over the years.
Types of Epoxy Stickers
Epoxy stickers come in many different designs ranging from flowers to cartoon characters. Sticker styles include:
- Graduation theme: Graduation stickers often feature mortarboards and diplomas.
- School theme: School theme stickers include school buses, books, school buildings and chalk boards.
- Animal theme: You can find many animals stickers such as fish, dogs, snakes, wolves, cats and birds.

If you can't find the right stickers for your project, consider making your own epoxy stickers. The ScrapFriends site has detailed instruction and photos on how to make your own stickers.
Creative Uses for Stickers
Stickers can dress up any scrapbook project. You can use epoxy stickers for the following:
- Decorate a scrapbook album cover or page
- To hold a photo in place on an album page
- To spell out a word
- As the centerpiece of a design on a page
- To create a theme on a page
Stickers are also convenient because they allow you to quickly decorate a page. If you sketched or painted a design, it would take much longer. They also blend in well with other decorative elements.
