Create Your Own Roller Stamp!

Posted on April 21, 2014 by Angela Ploegman

Hello blog readers! It’s Angela here today and I’m sharing a card that I created using the 3D Foam Cupcake shapes:

Can you see how I used the shape in 2 different ways? One is the focal point and the other is the clear embossed image in the background. Let me show you how I did both!

Instructions:

1. Adhere approximately 6 3D Foam Cupcake shapes to a toilet paper roll.

2. Remove the protective backing from the shapes and ink them with an embossing ink. Insert a wooden dowel into the toilet paper roll and use it to apply the custom roller stamp to the patterned paper.

3. Sprinkle with clear embossing powder, shake off excess and heat to set.

4. Using the MyStik® Permanent Strips, adhere the patterned paper to a card base.

5. Cut a double sided banner strip from a coordinating pattern paper and adhere to the card base. Stamp the sentiment using StazOn (or similar) ink.

6. Die cut a circle and scalloped circle window from patterned paper. Inset the circle (you could layer, if you prefer) and adhere to the card base with the MyStik® Permanent Strips.

7. Remove the backing and cover the bottom of the 3D Foam Cupcake shape and the icing shadow in light green glitter. Remove the icing backing and pipe on the icing, using a 3D glitter fabric paint. Insert the cherry shape, allowing the fabric paint to overlap slightly. Let the fabric paint dry.

8. Remove the rest of the backing from the cupcake base and cover with gold glitter. Cover the cherry with red glitter and the stem with brown glitter. I use an exacto knife to cut the baking on the shape and peel the pieces one at a time for each color of glitter needed. Adhere finished cupcake to card base.

Here’s a close up of the focal point:

Love it when an idea comes together!

The Decorated Egg

Posted on April 19, 2014 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, it is Christine here today and to celebrate Easter I thought I would re-style Easter egg packaging! The shop packaging can get a little boring so how about making your own? It is so easy with the help of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products.

First of all select a piece of yellow cardstock and trim off a strip measuring 12″ x 4″. This isn’t quite big enough to wrap around the egg so you will need an extra piece measuring 5″ x 4″ to add on - Crafty Power Tape does this perfectly.

Then score at 6.5″ and 9.5″ – this creates the base section for your egg.

To decorate, I wanted some Spring-like bunting so the 3D Foam Pennants were perfect for this.

I affixed them to patterned paper and then cut around each one.

For an extra embellishment, make a hole with your pokey tool and insert a brad.

The 3D Foam Pennants and twine are then attached to some patterned paper from Echo Park and the decorated panel is attached to the cardstock using E-Z® Dots Permanent Refilliable.

The egg is held in place with Crafty Power Tape.

Draw up the front and back panels and secure with a small peg. For an additional decoration I cut/embossed a Spellbinders® Create A Daisy.

The finished decorated egg -

and the pretty 3D Foam Pennants.

Have fun changing packaging to suit your style! Wishing you all an enjoyable Easter.

Springtime Bird House with Creative Photo Corner Roof

Posted on April 16, 2014 by Beth Pingry

Hints of Spring are popping up all over, and I was inspired to create this Springtime Birdhouse. I found an inexpensive wooden birdhouse in the craft aisle of a big box store and immediately knew what I wanted to do with it!

The roof line and shingles are all Creative Photo Corners, and they are easy to line up, they have adhesive on the back side, and so they stick beautifully!

The patterned papers are adhered to the wood bird house with Crafty Power Tape (perfect for paper to wood applications!). The 3D Foam Butterflies are covered in blue glitter and then adhered to the paper. On the side, there is a dragon fly, with wings covered in blue glitter and the body covered in silver glitter. On the opposite side I used 3D Foam Garden Shapes and covered the watering pail in foil. I have more photos on my personal blog, Cookies for Breakfast. Thanks for coming by today and Happy Spring!!

Easter Treat Container

Posted on April 15, 2014 by AJ Otto

Hello- AJ here to share with you a fun Easter treat container you can fill with just about anything!

My kids are starting to get to the age of no Easter baskets, but they still do enjoy all things chocolate egg related!! ;) These sour cream containers are super easy to make, and fill with just about anything they like.
Adhere several pieces of Crafty Power Tape to the long end of your cardstock-(It’s 4 1/2 X 5 1/4″ here) and secure into a roll shape. Burnish the inside with a bone folder.

AJOtto-GlitterCarrots-3 Now, on the short end, again add Crafty Power Tape and secure closed, pinching it off. *Fill with treats before closing both ends* Flip over to the open end, and repeat making sure to close the alternate direction.
Add a few strips of patterned paper to the seams for a splash of color using E-Z Runner® Strips Permanent Refillable.
Next up, place your carrots from the 3D Foam Easter shapes on to a die cut and cover with glitter. First with orange, then with green. I do love that they come in pieces like that to make customizing easy!To finish it off, adhere the die cut to the container with 3D Foam Squares.

You can also fill with non candy items, or even use for birthday party treats.

enjoy!

Easter Trio Home Decoration

Posted on April 14, 2014 by Asia King

Hello everyone, Asia King here! With longer days, sunny weather, bees and butterflies buzzing in the air I can’t help feeling excited that spring is finally here! And so is Easter – have you finished your preparations yet? Today I’d like to share a sparkly Easter home decor set I made.

My Easter set includes decorated Styrofoam eggs, a wooden frame and a candle.

The frame was covered with Maja Design Fika papers and adhered with Crafty Power Tape. I added some scalloped panels cut with a MS edge punch and a stamped Easter banner using 3D Foam Pennants.

For the insert I stamped the Baroque Cross stamp twice with Coffee ink. First image was for my background and the second was used to cut out the orate centre. Next I stamped the image with a clear embossing ink and heat embossed it with the lilac embossing powder. Then I fussy cut the cross and arranged the layers over Thin 3D Foam Squares Mix in white. I also added some foam squares decorated with Micro Glitter.

The corners of the insert panel were embellished with embossing powders and glitters using encrusted jewel technique. My flower sprays were attached using DODZ™ – 3D and DODZ™ – Medium. I also added 3D Foam Leaves decorated with the green glass glitter.

To decorate the candle I stamped the cross onto tissue paper which I melted into the candle with a heat tool. I embellished it further with glittered Thin Foam Squares and Crafty Power Tape.

My Styrofoam eggs were decorated with lilac embossed Creative Photo Corners – White, embossed & glittered 3D Foam Squares Regular White and flocked & glittered Small, Medium & 3D Dodz™. To finish the eggs I added some ribbons and decorative pins and I placed them in a fluffy posy basket.

Thanks for visiting. Have a wonderful and creative week!

A 3D Happy Easter Card

Posted on April 13, 2014 by Kelly Klapstein

Hello everyone!

Can you believe it’s already Easter? If you haven’t made any cards yet, then pick up some new 3D Foam Easter Shapes and get cracking ! (ha ha pun intended)

I created this cute 3D card that works perfectly with the pretty 3D Foam Easter Shapes!

First, I adhered my card layers together using the MyStik™ Permanent Strips.

I also used my 3D Foam Squares to adhere some card layers for more dimension.

Then I created my “Happy Easter” sentiment from the 3D Foam Easter shapes and red glitter.

Here’s a little tip for removing some of the tinier pieces from the foam sheet. Use a sharp tool, like a paper piercer, non-stick scissors … or even a wooden bamboo skewer, like I did.

Take your time and remove them gently … a little patience with these teeny bits goes a long way.

The great thing about these all Designer Foam Shapes is that you can customize them to match your papers with any colour of glitter, flocking, embossing powder, etc.

I dump my glitter on liberally… and then brush it off.

For the three different 3D Foam Easter shapes on the front of the card, I used foil and glitter paper.

I removed only parts of the backing of each shape, so I could add both foil and glitter paper. First, I added foil to parts of each shape:

Then came the glitter paper.

I just love the two-tone effect these products make together.

And that is how an Easter card can come together using awesome products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®!

Happy Easter…. and Happy Crafting!

Decorative Jars

Posted on April 12, 2014 by Latisha Yoast

Hello, Latisha here with you today. I’m sharing a really easy way to decorate a treat jar, using the Designer Shapes.

With warmer weather arriving, that means springtime is here. When I hear the word spring, I think of Easter, Spring Break, Memorial Day, Birthdays, Weddings, end of school year gifts. Whether you are just decorating a table in your house, or you need a quick gift to give. Filling a mason jar full of candy, cocoa, coffee, money or flowers is really so easy, and decorating it with the Designer Shapes, makes it that much easier.

Here I filled a jar full of candies, and then wrapped the jar with pretty May Arts trims & ribbons. I chose to use the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Butterflies, I truly cannot resist any kind of butterfly. I carefully peeled of the top layers and added my desired glitter. To layer the butterflies and give them a bit of depth, I used the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam squares, to lift both butterflies up away from the ribbon and each other.

Materials Used:

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Butterflies

Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares small

May Arts ribbon and trims

mason jar

candy

Butterfly Box Frame

Posted on April 10, 2014 by Christine Emberson

Hi, it is Christine here today with a butterfly box frame. I’m a butterfly addict so when Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® brought out their 3D Foam Butterflies I was over the moon!

For my project I firstly selected a little wooden box frame, one pack of 3D Foam Butterflies and some script paper (Fancy Pants – Swagger collection).

I cut the paper to size and inserted it into the frame behind the glass.

Next I removed the butterflies from the backing paper and placed them down sticky side up. I then covered them with some gilding flakes.

Using a small paint brush, I removed the excess leaving a lovely golden coating.

Next, I cut/embossed foliage – Sprigs from Spellbinders® and Blooms Three.

The 3D Foam Squares – White, Small stick perfectly to glass and you can trim them to fit smaller die cuts.

I added a line of crystal gems to the middle of the gilded butterflies, opted for silver butterflies too.

For the sentiment, I stamped this onto card and adhered with Crafty Power Tape - no problem using this on wood.

The finished project.

And a close up of the beautiful butterflies.

Thank you for joining me today, I hope you flutter by again soon!

Easter Bag

Posted on April 8, 2014 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

I want to show you a little Easter Bag.

Here is a little Tutorial how I made it.

1 – I used a bag from a Pocket Book Pad designed by Leeza Gibbons.

2 – It’s just so easy to adhere it together with the E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable

3 – Adhere a old book page with the E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable again.

4 – Add white Gesso with fingers to blend the text out.

5 – Stamp your image and cut it out with scissors. I used a Duckling as motive I designed for Whiff of Joy . It’s one stamp of the Spring collection “Freshly Hatched” and its available at the 20th of April.

6 – Adhere your motive with E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable

7 – Doodle and sketch some grasses with a black pen. If you don’t want to draw you can also use stamps. Grasses is also a stamp on the coming soon Spring stamp set.

8 – Punch a little circle and add a Brad to create a shutter look for the flap.

Now you can add some sentiments or other details. I used some Rub-ons. And now it’s ready to fill it with a coupon or card or little Easter present.

I used my favorite E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable
