help?

I know this isn't probably the best group to post this in, but I'm running
out of ideas here...

I am looking to find out how to create raised stickers or even the 3D Gel
type stickers... or even the plastic covered "puffy" type stickers. I
can't seem to find ANY information on how to make them... If I wanted to
BUY some there's about a million places to buy pre-made little stickers like
that but I'm wanting full page type stickers with my own designs and such on
them.

Any information at all would be helpful.

Thanks!

You can dry emboss the design and fill the back with dimensional glue so
that it won't cave in.

Puffy kind
You could stamp or draw a design on paper. Then use LIQUID APPLIQUE,
it puffs automatically, either by air drying or using a heat gun on
it.

GEL stickers
I like to use gel or glitter glues on the design, makes some
interesting effects

DIMENSIONAL MAGIC or Crystal Lacquer
This gives an enamel effect to the paper. After you stamp, draw the
design, add Diminsional magic to either all of the design or just
parts of it. Let dry overnite.

I have been making my own stickers for lots of years, so if you need
any more ideas, holler

Local hobby lobby didn't have much in the way of what was suggested, but I
did find some UTEE
(ultra thick embossing enamel) and a heat gun. Now I'm trying to figure out
what good the
embossing heat gun is supposed to do to a powder it blows away before
getting hot enough to
actually emboss anything.

It dries hard, or brittle... I need something that has the same raised,
clear
thickness of about 2 or 3 good coats of UTEE, but is FLEXIBLE afterwards.
Like a plastic coating.

Yow. That's a tough one. I don't think I've even seen commercially
produced items with that sort of coating.

If you wanted similar but *harder*, I could give you some ideas.

If you do the project with waterproof ink, you could give it a flexible
raised effect with Elmer's Glue. It's kind of a low tech approach, but it
might work.

Good Luck,

I'm just about ready to give up. I've looked everywhere without success.
