Fuzzy Easter Bunny

Posted on March 9, 2014 by Kimberly Crawford

Hello! Kimberly here with a card just in time for Easter. Using the new 3D Foam Designer Shapes make this card quick, easy, and adorable!

The card base was layered with patterned papers. I always use E-Z® Runner Permanent Strips Refillable to adhere all my paper to projects. Then I cut out a piece of cardstock and stamped upon it with various images. When I adhere panels like this to my cards, I always use 3D Foam Squares Regular White.

And now for the darling bunny! I peeled the bunny carefully off the backing sheet of 3D Foam Easter Shapes and placed it on a craft mat. Then I generously poured flock over the top. Gently burnishing the into the bunny in a circular motion with my finger, I tapped off the excess. I repeated the same process for the carrot and its top. I love how they are separate to allow you to be creative with each piece!

thanks for stopping by!

Card with Heart

Posted on March 8, 2014 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there, it’s Stephanie here today with a Card.

Actually I love to work with old vintage book pages. O love the grip and smell. For this card I also use old book pages and scraps, leftovers from pattern scrapbook paper. I added a bit vintage feeling with Distress Ink at the edges of the paper.

To adhere the scraps I used the pink E-Z Squares® Refillable.

My sewing machine created a little frame on the top paper.

Then I added my text (just a word sticker) and a handmade wire heart. Ready!

Thanks for visiting and have a nice day!

Stephanie

Material I used:

E-Z Squares® Refillable

Paper from Pink Paislee “Cottage Farms” and Prima Marketing “Delight Collection”

Old book pages

sewing machine

wire

Distress Ink “vintage photo” Ranger Ink

word sticker from Authentique “Celebrate”

Custom Made Pocket Pages – Exploring Boston Scrapbook Layout

Posted on March 7, 2014 by Angela Ploegman

Hello blog readers! This is Angela and I don’t know about you, but I’m desperately wishing for warmer weather! The winter in the Midwest US has definitely overstayed its welcome! So in that frame of mind I created a summer themed scrapbook page using the Keepsake Envelopes – Mix to customize a pocket page style layout!

It was super easy to mix and match the envelopes to create the perfect grid for my layout. Love that I could layer behind and on top of the pockets on this page using Crafty Power Tape – 20′ Roll and 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular. I even created a catch pocket for the journaling tag on the back of the layout, to ensure the tag didn’t slip through and get lost.

What a fun page to create and the layout is EXACTLY how I wanted it! I feel warmer already! Thanks for stopping by today.

Foam Washi Tape Tutorial

Posted on March 6, 2014 by Shell Carman

Hi There!

Funky & graphic is a popular trend right now. I am really loving the idea of mixing some black with bright colours. Sometimes too much black can be too over powering so I have found stamping a great way to add some black too the mix without it looking too strong. Because I also love dimension I started thinking of ways of adding black stamping with dimension & came up with the idea to stamp directly onto some Crafty Foam Tape White .

First lay a strip of Crafty Foam Tape onto some Transparency Film
Use a good quality ink to stamp an image onto the foam tape
Too easy!

To put together the rest of my card I have used the E-Z Runner permanent Strips Refillable to adhere some pattern paper onto cardstock

then layered some more patterned paper using the Crafty Foam Tape

The Click ‘n Stick Mounting Squares Clear were perfect to adhere the vellum love note

And the 3D Foam Squares White Mix pack helped me add some more dimension & layers to my card

Here are a few closeups

Create Beautiful Texture with Adhesive Sheets

Posted on March 5, 2014 by Birgit Koopsen

Birgit Koopsen is joining us again today with a fabulous tutorial on creating beautiful texture with Adhesive Sheets!

To create the background of these tags I used Adhesive Sheets and Ultra High Embossing Powder. The clear embossing powder creates a resist revealing the color that is underneath, which makes the embossed parts really stand out after spraying with darker colors.

Start with a tag sprayed with 1 or 2 not-too-dark colors. Make sure the tag is really dry.

Take (part of) an Adhesive Sheet, peel of the protection sheet and randomly apply the adhesive to the tag. Go on until you have the desired amount of adhesive on the tag.

Cover the tag with Clear Ultra High Embossing Powder and tap off the excess.

Heat it with a heat tool until the embossing powder starts to melt and turns clear.

Then take 1 or 2 darker colors and spray right on top. Take off the excess paint with a piece of paper towel. The spray will not stick to the embossed parts and the lighter color underneath will be revealed.

Of course this technique is also perfect to create texture on any other project like cards, scrapbook pages, art journals and canvasses.

To finish the tag use an Adhesive Sheet to cover the back of some pebbles. Apply the pebbles to patterned paper and cut them out. Put them on another Adhesive Sheet to create sticker pebbles that can be applied to the tag. Die cut butterflies, outline them with a black and a white pen and apply them to the tag using Dotz^TM Medium. Add ribbon and word stickers. The pom pom ribbon was applied with a strip of Crafty Power tape, folded length wise.

Here are a few more examples

Thank you for stopping by and happy crafting!

Mini Round Gift Box

Posted on March 2, 2014 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a decorated mini round gift box.

I’ve chosen pretty flowers because hopefully here in the UK Springtime is on its way! I selected a shop bought mini round gift box. It looks extremely boring and plain but not for long!

I cut a strip of paper – Basic Grey – RSVP and wrapped this around the base section of the box. I used E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips – Refillable to make sure it was adhered securely.

I then decided to have lace around the edge of the box lid, Crafty Power Tape is perfect to adhere lace. The tape comes in a handy refillable dispenser.

To decorate the top of my box I die cut a circle from the patterned paper – Spellbinders® Standard Circles LG

For dimension I applied 3D Foam Squares – White Regular to the reverse of my die cut and then placed this onto the box lid.

For decoration, I cut/embossed Spellbinders® Blooms Three from pale blue cardstock and attached them using 3D Foam Squares – White Small.

The finished mini round gift box.

Perfect for a gift of jewellery, gift vouchers, lottery tickets! Thank you for joining me today, have fun crafting with the brilliant Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L products.

Die Cutting and Embellishing 3D Foam Creative Sheets!

Posted on March 1, 2014 by Beth Pingry

Hi it’s Beth, today I have a new technique for 3D Foam Creative Sheets. These are pieces of our 3D Foam that are not cut, so that you and I can get creative! These 3D Foam Creative Sheets can be punched and die cut, and of course you can use scissors. Let me show you how I made this card.

First I die cut the white 3D Foam Creative Sheet (the pack of 2 comes with one white and one black sheet). You can see that it embosses the thin metal dies too!

Remove the top liner paper and brush on pigment powder.

When the surface is covered, stamp the sentiment onto the die cut.

For the large butterfly from the 3D Foam Gardens Shapes set, remove the liners from the inside of the design and add pigment powder.

Remove the rest of the liner and add a second color of pigment powder.

Next I added enamel dots to the butterfly, then assembled my card. I added antennae and lines with a pen.

Thanks!

Beth Pingry

A Sunny Trip To Serengeti And a Tutorial

Posted on February 28, 2014 by Asia King

Hello everyone, Asia King here. Lovely to see you again and I am delighted to take you today on a trip to Serengeti! This is a gift I made for my friend’s daughter who absolutely adores elephants. Ok, let’s begin!

1. Prepare your cardstock for mats (various sizes in coordinating colours, whatever you have to hand), 6×6″ card blank, matching patterned papers and also plain-ish patterned papers (doesn’t matter what colour as they will be inked over). Gather a selection of distress inks and blending tools for your chosen colour scheme.

2. Ink up the patterned paper panel to match your chosen colour palette. Stamp some coffee mug rings using Stampendous clear stamps. Crinkle and distress the edges.

3. Mount a couple of mat/paper panels onto the card blank using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips – Refillable, varying the angles slightly.

4. Stamp the elephant from the Serengeti stamp set twice onto a cream card and colour with your favourite medium (I used Spectrum Noir and Distress markers). Stamp the elephants again onto scrap paper and cut out the outlines. Use E-Z Dots® Repositionable at the back to help the mask stay in place whilst inking. Mask of the images and ink around to create a warm Serengeti setting.

5. Mat the image panel and embellish with Kraft Creative Photo Corners. This will be mounted over a piece of burlap. Cover the area that will go over the burlap with Crafty Power Tape. For the rest of the panel use black Thin 3D Foam Squares. Adhere all elements to the card.

6. Cover a handful of 3D Foam Pennants with the patterned papers and adhere to the card over a decorative ribbon to create a banner.

7. Use several DODZ™ – 3D to adhere additional embellishments.

8. Crumple a piece of 4×6″ Adhesive Sheet and partially remove the yellow protective layer. Dab the sticky side of the sheet randomly over the burlap and the rest of the card.

9. Sprinkle the adhesive with Taupe Colour Fragments. Press gently with your fingertips to help them adhere. Shake off the excess fragments.

10. Sprinkle a handful of 3D Foam Squares – White, Small with the Copper Micro Glitter. Add to the card as desired.

11. Decorate the inside of the card with patterned papers using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips – Refillable. Add a Keepsake Envelope inside for a gift voucher.

And here is a picture of a box I decorated as well to hold the card as part of the gift set.
