When you are creating pages what is your preference? Lots of dimension, tons of foam tape, chipboard, wood, lots of "bulk", thick stuff? Or more towards the flat side? What about cards? Home decor or other altered art?
Just thought I would jump in and get some threads going today!

I go through stages where everything is chunky, then a bunch of clean and simple projects.

Depends on the layout. My preference would be everything chunky. but that would make my albums too thick, so I opt for both.

I go for a pretty good balance of both! |

I usually add some form of bulk to almost every layout, wood veneer, acrylic, enamel dots, pop dots etc.

Thanks for posting. I love it when we are busy over here. I'm mostly flat. Maybe something bulky every 10 layouts. Those bulky albums add up quick and I have way too many.

It really just depends on the layout. I am more of a middle of the road kind of gal. I have made a few really lumpy pages but not very often.

Most of my layouts are lumpy too. Every now and again I’ll do a simple flat layout but for the most part I love the added dimension.

I will use thicker things on my 12x12 pages because those albums don't have a start to finish to them. My PL albums are bursting at the seams (2 per year right now) even with me trying to keep things flat (enamel dots and a few rubber pieces are as thick as I get...I even stopped using Thickers to help keep down the bulk) so I don't have to expand into more albums per year. I made a total of ONE 12x12 layout last year, so flat things are the dominant thing for me. I feel like you can add layers of paper, washi, enamel dots, stickers etc to give the look of dimension without actually making it bulky.

I am straight down the middle of the road. I do an even mix of both but never got into the super lumpy bumpy like the big prima flowers with centers.
After watching some Nicole911 videos I have started to try to cut out the middle of some of my paper layers to reduce bulk but I am finding that more tedious and frustrating so not sure that will stick.

I like dimensional stuff and years ago I was very slow to embrace it. My friend jumped right on back then, back when it was called 'lumpy stuff.'
My friend eventually abandoned the very dimensional stuff in favor of flat because of the damage in albums to page protectors and facing pages.
I will still choose to provide dimension over a flat page. Love jolies and stickers and embellies with layers. At least enamel dots have to add something - flat just always seems to need something. I do not like multilayers though, like double popdots or really thick stuff. I will include memorabilia that has more dimension than an embellishment just because it is memorabilia.
I don't do cards, altered art or home decor, but if I did I would want dimension on it.

I love dimension and actually prefer it on my pages but I just had to "fix" some pages that were opposite of my bulky pages and got damaged so now mostly just do flat.

More on the flat side, but I do use enamel dots, twine, pop dots, or foam. Every once in a while flowers, but not often.

I scrap in a traveler's notebook insert so I try to keep it very flat. Just photos, journaling cards, die cuts and lots of stamping.
For cards, I usually have an element on foam adhesive. Twine or sequins might also make an appearance but I have to keep mailing in mind so I don't go too crazy.

I like some dimension.
Pop dots. Enamel dots. A little felt or foam.
I stay away from wood and metal.

I am in the "middle of the road" camp. I like foam dots/tape, embossed paper, flair, enamel dots and wood veneer. Occasionally I will make a paper rosette, which is about as bulky as I get. I try to be cautious and avoid anything that will mark or dent neighbouring pages.

Foam tape,wood veneer and puffy stickers are fine
Clothes pegs,tassels,popmpoms are too lumpy

I don’t like anything too lumpy on my pages because of the dents on the facing pages. I do a lot of layered paper piecings and shade them with chalks to look dimensional.

Small amounts of dimension but nothing too lumpy because I’m concerned about how many layouts will fit in an album.
