Welcome to Day 5 of our Blog Hop with Quietfire Designs!
It’s Angela hosting today and I am sharing a tutorial for how to incorporate Art Paper into your crafting projects using the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Adhesive Sheets. I used the technique to create this Thank You card:
There is a small art supply store near my house and they have a frequently changing inventory of archival quality art papers….all of which are so very pretty. It got me thinking as to how I could incorporate these materials into my cards and scrapbook layouts. Since some of the papers, like the one shown in the project above are translucent, the right adhesive was key! Turns out, the right adhesive was the Adhesive Sheets – 4×6″. Let’s get started!
Step by Step Instructions
1. Gather your supplies. Cut a card base from white card stock (5.5 x 8.5 inches folded to 5.5 x 4.25 inches).
2. Apply an Adhesive Sheet – 4×6″ to white card stock by removing the yellow backing layer and applying the exposed adhesive to the card stock. Burnish the white backing to ensure complete transfer.
3. Peel the white backing from the adhesive layer and cover the exposed adhesive with the art paper. Burnish lightly to smooth out any wrinkles.
4. Trim to 4.00 x 5.25 inches and round the corners. Adhere to the card base with MyStik® Permanent Strips.
5. Stamp the Quietfire Thank You, Rough Hewn sentiment onto white card stock with an ink in a matching color.
6. Trim, leaving a thin white border and adhere 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular to the backside of the trimmed sentiment.
7. Adhere to the card base and embellish with silver sequins. I used the DODZ™ – Small to adhere the sequins.
Here’s a close up view of the finished card:
And since I had my Quietfire stamp stash out, I created a clean and simple second card (no art paper on this one!) using the Flourishing Inside – Hearts and the Ten Tiny Tag Sentiments stamp sets.
Thanks for stopping by today.

You are so lucky! the closest craft supply store to me is an hour away and I don’t drive so I don’t get there often. Love your card and the great tutorial! TFS~

Beautiful cards! Love that pretty “Thank You” stamp!
I’m anxious to try out the Adhesive Sheets. I can think of a couple of projects I’d love to try and this seems like a great product for it!

I have often tried using special papers and could never get the hang of having the glue not show on these flimsy papers. Thanks for the tip.

Those adhesive sheets certainly look handy! Great job on the cards. Thanks for sharing the process.

Very pretty card. The sheets would make it easier to put a large sheet of paper on the card backing. You would want a little crinkling so you could incorporate those into the design. Love this card.
By Saundra A. March 22, 2014 - 5:39 pm
Love the card and the techniques. Very inspiring!
