Charmed by Epiphany

Posted on February 3, 2012 by Birgit Koopsen

Hi there!

Today I want to share with you a vacation layout featuring Epiphany Crafts. With Epiphany tools, charms and bubbles you easily create fun jewelry that add a nice touch to your layouts!

I used the round tool with scalloped bubbles and round metal charms to create some fun embellishments.

The charms where applied to the layout using 3D foam squares. The MyStik permanent strips dispenser was used for all the paper, including the small journaling strips.

Thanks so much for your visit! Enjoy your day!

Valentine Banner

Posted on February 2, 2012 by Vicki Chrisman

Hello everyone!

Valentines day is on it’s way, so I thought it would be fun to create a Valentine Banner with my  AccuCut Banner Die,  Crafty Secrets Vintage Valentine Kit, Ephany Crafts goodness …and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Adhesives.

It was so easy to put together . I used EZ Dots Minis and thin Foam Squares ( to add just a touch of dimention).

I used select pieces of the images that I had printed off to punch with my Ephiphany tool and add the epoxy piece to.  I added them to the center of brightly colored Fancy Pants Buttons and used them  as embellishments to the banner pieces.

A little machine stitching….

some ribbon and trims…….

and there you have it … a fun Valentine banner , all ready to hang.

Summer in Denmark

Posted on January 30, 2012 by Karin Strandby

Hi everyone.

In the summer of 2011, my 4 sisters-in-law and I went to Gaasten, Denmark,  to visit Graasten Castle.
It’s the castle where our queens mother, Queen Ingrid, lived during the summertime when she was still alive. It has a wonderful garden, which she had built over the years, and many of her plants can still be found there.
I used Prima swirls “say it in crystals”, flower border and paper from the series: “Romantique Collection”. Two papers “Orchard” and “Hedgerow”.
Lots of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. 3D foam squares, and Crafty Power Tape. The 3D squares are strong enough to carrie the big flower border.

 

To day the sun is shining from a lovely blue sky, here in Denmark. Awsome :)

Have a nice day.

Soft colors ..

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Iben Højholdt

I had lots of fun creating todays layout with the wonderfull products provided by Prima Marketing and Epiphany Crafts.

I found the Crafty Foam Tape again to be my favorite choice for mounting the photos. It gives it such a nice lift. 

I put some butterflies under the Epiphany bubble caps and some little ones on top. Used my favorite E-Z runner for those + all papers. So easy to work with and very strong.

Happy friday :-)

Imaginisce, a little bit of sunshine on a rainy day!

Posted on January 24, 2012 by Birgit Koopsen

Imaginisces Hippity Hop paper line is fun, colorfull, fresh and happy!

So it was a joy creating a layout with this spring themed paper and all the lovely extras!

I used MyStik repositionable dots dispenser to apply the white cardstock to the background paper. It’s always a little tricky to get such a big sheet in the middle of another sheet and using the repositionable MyStik allowes me to take it of and try again if I mess up :)

Since I was going to sew around the edges I didn’t need to use permanent adhesive too. I you don’t want to use you simply lift up the edges if the paper is in the right place and add adhesive using the MyStik permanent strips dispenser.

This last one I used for everything else, except for the birdcage, the little bunny, the nest and the title. For those I used Crafty Foam Tape.

The colored text strips are made in Word. Open a text box on your page, choose a background color. Set your font color to white and type your text. Print it on photo paper (that will give you the brightest colors and a nice shine) and cut in strips.

If you don’t have the skills or the tools to print a picture in black and white with just one part in color (just like me :) ) don’t worry. I colored the eggs with Letraset Aquamarkers. The doilies are colored with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.

Thank you for stopping by!

Happy creating!

Birgit

Crafty Powered Hair Barrettes

Posted on January 23, 2012 by Courtney Walsh

As the mother of a pre-teen daughter with tastes that change quicker than the Colorado weather, I’ve been tasked with the test of finding inexpensive ways to give her lots of accessory choices. These simple hair barrettes were so easy to make, and I used my scrapbooking stash and my favorite Crafty Power Tape to do it.

I started with these:

…which you can find at any craft store in the jewelry section. Then, I searched my stash and found these:

Any fabric flower would work wonderfully on headbands, barrettes and a wide assortment of jewelry…and while it may seem like the most obvious thing in the world, up until recently, it never occurred to me to use my scrapbook stash to create things like this. But it’s so simple you could do this for quick and easy gifts or as a project with your kids.

I just took a good chunk of the Crafty Power Tape, balled it up and stuck it to the flower. Then, I pressed the flower right onto the metal barrette. It held like a dream.

Thanks to the Crafty Power Tape, my daughter has a bigger assortment of one-of-a-kind hair accessories for hardly any money! Super easy and super fun.

Handmade has never been so easy!

Layering a few different adhesives

Posted on January 21, 2012 by Leica Forrest

You may wonder why a person would do this. The perfect answer is, each adhesive suits a specific purpose. This post is going to show you how I mix and match quite frequently to create a layout.

Photobucket

Almost for every photo I put down it usually is with MyStik permanent or the EZ runner. There is no question about it, they are handy, quick to pack and my go to for everyday jobs.

I put it on fairly evenly all over the photograph, there is nothing worse than your page falling apart years down the road. I hate repairing anything. That applies to my house as well, do it right the first time. for me that means, all four corners, in the middles.
Photobucket

You will notice that I am putting the photo corners on before I lay the photo down.
Photobucket

Now I take the Crafty Power Tape to use it as the adhesive for my Twinery twine. I use this because it is a strong adhesive, as well, as not to wide. It is very easy to create a straight line with it. Also I wrapped it on the back as well. It will keep the twine nicely in place.
Photobucket
Now peel off the protective backing and start wrapping with Twine.
Photobucket
This is what the finished product will be.
Photobucket

At CHA there is a new adhesive in town. It’s black foam tape. Are you excited like I am? Picture all the shadow boxes you can now create. The bonus of having it as a tape is that it can be cut to any size. I used it to place my photo mat down, lot’s of other adhesives could have done the same duty, I just wanted to show you the liberty of cutting whatever way you want.
Photobucket

Now, I’ve cut a few Spellbinders shapes that I want to layer. I used the thin 3D foam squares for this. The thin ones still give you a level of dimension. I like layering and it helps with that.
Photobucket
Photobucket
AS you can see, not too thick, just right.
Photobucket

Now complete your layout. A nice quick layout, fun dimension, and a little dabble of the different adhesives out there.

Get sticky!

Back to School Card

Posted on January 20, 2012 by Beth Pingry

The return to school after the winter break is almost as sweet as the first day of school in the fall. So why not celebrate the little things, like a a quiet house!

I created this stand up card from one single sheet of card stock, then embellished it with patterned paper. I started with an 8½ x 11″ sheet, scored it at 3″ on each side, then turned it sideways and scored the center at 2½”. Then I carefully trimmed along those center lines.

I pulled images from the Graphic 45 “An ABC Primer Collection”, and adhered them with the new black Crafty Foam Tape from SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L™.

I love this new Crafty Foam Tape! I love how the black color hides behind the images, giving it height without shouting “hey, I’m here!” I also love that I can trim the Crafty Foam Tape to exactly the length I need.

I trimmed images from the paper collection and adhered with both Crafty Foam Tape and E-Z Dots® Mini adhesives. I folded the cardstock so that the center section pops out and the entire card stands on it’s own.

This card, folded up, will fit in a standard business size envelope for mailing. I could mail it to my sister when she gets her teaching degree, or I could keep it as home decor for my son’s graduation at the end of this school year.

Supplies:

  • Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: new Black Crafty Foam Tape, E-Z Dots Mini Permanent
  • Graphic 45: An ABC Primer Collection 8 x 8 pack
  • WorldWin Papers: Black Cardstock
  • Scor-Pal: Scoring board

I love the way this turned out, and I love the format of this card, it can be any theme you need!

How would you embellish a card like this?

Thanks for reading today!
