Embellishing with Creative Photo Corners Up Close

When you take a quick look at this layout, it might take you a moment to realize where the Creative Photo Corners are located! They are used to create a flower look to two of the circles!

As I began to put this together it quickly became evident to me that this was going to be a fun and eye-catching technique!

I picked a place to start and then just slightly overlapped each piece so that the angles wouldn’t get weird around the curves. I initially laid them one after another, but I could tell the space and angles weren’t going to work. Thankfully a slight overlap took care of that problem!

DIY Enamel Pin Collection Display

Posted on May 23, 2019 by Teri Anderson

Hi, friends! Do you have a collection of enamel pins? Collecting these little pins is such a popular thing to do right now so I’m here today to show you a fun way to display all those pins you’ve amassed!

Making an Enamel Pin Display Base

Start by cutting a small rectangle from a piece of scrap paper. The rectangle will serve as a guide as you put your enamel pin display together. It should be approximately the size you want your pin display to be. Then cut a piece of fabric a little larger than the guide.

Set the guide on the backside of your fabric panel. Fold one side of the fabric along the guide. Apply a piece of Extreme Double-Sided Tape along the fold. Remove the liner and adhere the fold to the backside of the panel.

I find it is helpful when doing this to place the guide near the fold. Since this is a craft project where you are mostly eyeballing things, the guide is helpful for ensuring straight folds.

Now, you are going to going to do two more folds. Repeat the process of applying Extreme Double-Sided Tape along the folds and then adhering the folds to the backside of the fabric panel.

Adding the Hanger

Now, we are going to work on the hanger. Take the last side of the fabric panel. Set a chopstick on it.

Apply a strip of Extreme Double-Sided Tape onto the fabric panel. Fold the fabric over the chopstick. You’ll end up with something like this.

By the way, your chopstick might be a little too long for your display. If your chopstick is indeed too long, simply cut it down with an old pair of scissors.

You want this display to hang on the wall so you are going to want to add some twine (or ribbon) to the chopstick. Take an Adhesive Dot and place it on one end of the chopstick, right next to the fabric banner. Tie your twine around the chopstick, covering up the dot. You’ll also want to place an Adhesive Dot on the other side of the chopstick as well and wrap the twine around it.

You can use your display like this or you can kick things up a notch by decorating it with a piece of ribbon. Apply several Adhesive Lines to your display and then set the ribbon on top of them.

Once you’ve added the ribbon, you can start adding pins to your display!

Consider hanging your display in your craft space at home, your cubicle at the office or anywhere you want to add a little extra pop of color and personality! Not enough room for all your pins? Simply make another display to hang next to it!

Glitter Frame Card Tutorial

Posted on May 21, 2019 by Tracy McLennon

Hello, my crafty friends! Tracy McLennon here, and today I have sparkly, sweet and simple card idea to share, a glitter frame card tutorial.

Glitter Frame Card by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Glitter Frame Card Instruction

Start your card with the 3D Foam Frames, and a piece of white cardstock cut to size for the front of the card (3.75 x 5-inch). Remove the top liner from the largest of the frames. Attach to the white cardstock.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside

To achieve this concept, we are showcasing the 3D Foam Frames as an embellishment instead of hiding between layers. With the largest frame, sprinkle pink glitter on top of the largest frame. Press the glitter into the frame to secure. Tap off excess.

Cut the entire remaining sheet of 3D Foam Frames in two but not quite in the centre. Add the next largest frame to the card, one half at a time, around the pink glitter frame as shown in the image below.

Remove the top liners of the second frame pieces and cover with teal glitter. Press the glitter to secure and tap off excess.

Finally, add the second smallest frame around the teal glitter frame. Add purple glitter using the same steps as the other frames.

For interest, I placed three small 3D Foam Circles White Mix in the bottom left-hand corner of the largest frame and added green glitter.

Final Touches

Stamp and heat emboss “Celebrate” sentiment with black embossing powder on the right side of the white card panel.

Mat the Glitter Frame Card front with yellow cardstock using the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser and attached it to the white cardstock card base using Crafty Foam Tape White.

Ivory and Gold Card Step Outs

To start, I selected an ivory card base, matted gold mirror card, and a patterned card. Secure the layers with MyStik Permanent Strips Dispenser. This dispenser has a unique fold-away design, ideal for traveling to crops and bonus: you can personalize the dispenser too.

One of my favorite things to do with die cuts is to create a drop shadow with mirror card. This is easily achieved with Adhesive Sheets because they come in a range of sizes. By placing your chosen card inside and running through a die cutting machine it applies a perfectly thin layer of adhesive.

To achieve a drop shadow effect, affixed to your second die cut slightly off center.

Tip: cut 3D Foam Squares White Small in half so they fit neatly on the back of your die cuts.

The middle die cut piece will be affixed with Crafty Power Tape. The backing easily pulls away and gives a secure hold on the card front!

Die-cut and assemble a pretty flower and leaf embellishment. Stamp sentiment on an oval die cut and tie a ribbon bow. Secure all with 3D Foam Squares White Small for dimension and interest.
