A Special Memory Page

Posted on January 18, 2019 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today. This is my year for trying out some new things. I picked up this journal online and chose to make a special memory page of a festive day out with friends.

Starting the Memory Page

Using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser, I affixed cut pieces of the patterned paper onto the journal.

I knew I wanted to create interactive elements so began to create those separately. Folding a piece of the patterned paper concertina style and affixing more panels. I created a little die cut corner for the tag. I will place photos onto these.

To securely hold the concertina element onto the page I opted for Extreme Double Sided Tape 1/2″, this will definitely hold! Affixed a little tab to use as the opening.

Creating a small envelope and tying with twine. Crafty Power Tape affixed to the reverse which will securely hold that twine in place.

Using a manila tag and E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser to attach more patterned paper pieces. I added a little distress ink to the edges. Within the paper set, there is pop out stickers, attaching 3D Foam Squares Regular instantly adds an extra dimension.

The page is ready for some photos and extra elements.

The finished page..or is it? I like to leave a little space to go back and add perhaps the tickets for our day out or a little note.

Thanks for stopping by and hoping you feel inspired to try something new this year.
Christine

Repurpose a Winter Mini Album

Posted on January 17, 2019 by Shellye McDaniel

Happy New Year! Shellye here today with a trash-to-treasure mini album idea! My husband was going to trash his old business card holder, but he gave it to me to see what I could do with it. So I repurposed it to a “Winter Business Card Mini Album!”

Winter Mini Album Supplies

Repurpose a Winter Mini Album by Shellye McDaniel for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I am using patterned papers and elements from one collection. It’s easier to match up and create cohesive pages that way.

Find the business card holder or similar online. Mine includes 12 individual clear pages with three slots for cards on a page. New gather several different adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Winter Mini Album Details

To begin, I cut enough base papers to fill each of the card slots. I used the E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refill to attach two (non-double-sided papers) back-to-back.

For the front cover of the binder, I wanted a good secure hold for the cover paper so I chose the Adhesive Sheets 6 x12 inch for attaching my patterned paper.

Afterward, I decorated the front with die-cut elements using the 3D Foam Circles White Mix. To create glittery snow drops, a combination of Adhesive Dots Small and Adhesive Dots Medium were used by simply adding clear glitter on top.

Along the edge of the album, I added a row of pom trim with the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8in – a perfect width and strength to hold in place!

The Inside Pages

For the first page of the album, I chose to adhere the wood veneer letters to spell out “Brr.” I added paper to the openings of the letters with the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

The Extreme Double-Sided Tapes worked best for attaching any of the embellishments to the top of the plastic. I also used the Adhesive Dots Small for adding the buttons throughout the album.

Small photos and stickers for my planner are things that I can store inside the pockets.

Basically, I left one section available for a photo and filled the other 2/3 of the page with stickers and embellishments!

Above is another way I found to implement the Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8in I LOVE this stuff 🙂 Below are the remaining pages:

Again, I will think of this little mini as a place to store pieces for my planner, stamps, gift cards, etc. I’m sharing more detailed, close-up photos over on my blog, so be sure to come by!

Finally, I hope that you enjoyed this project as much as I enjoyed putting it together!

Layered Thank You Note and Bag Set

Posted on January 15, 2019 by Shannon Morgan

Happy January! Can you believe it’s half-way done with the month already? My kids received a few gifts from friends and family each year. I encourage them to send handwritten thank you notes. Creating handmade notes to send give them more personality and thoughtful touches. I included a cute bag (or sleeve) for the card to go in before placing it in an envelope.

Assembling a Note Card and Bag

Sharing a collage of step out images with instruction below it. You can see how I assembled the card below.

Layered Thank You Note and Bag Set by Shannon Morgan for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Step by Step Instructions

Gather up supplies for the card, including patterned papers, embellishments, a card base and of course, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L adhesives!
Start with adding a contrasting layer. I stuck with a lot of basic patterns (stripes, dots, basics) as they pair well together.
Of course, I added a doily. You do not have to do this, I just love doilies.
Add a piece of tracing paper behind a frame die cut, using the E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser which works perfectly for this. Place 3D Foam Squares Black Small along the back of its frame edge. Note before adhering to the card, I added photo frames for detail and more interest.
To accommodate the narrow corners at the top, I trimmed the photo corner in the picture as shown, this makes it possible to adhere to the frame without showing the photo corner backing.
Adhere the frame to the card front. Then adhere the heart in an off-center position.
For the rest of the elements, you can see I layered on items randomly such as a ticket, washi tape, a starred cupcake topper and even added a stamped bunny image.
Then a few more details added like a dainty tag, more washi tape, a butterfly tucked in the corner, and lastly the sentiment.
Lastly, I embellished a bag (or a sleeve) with similar elements like the card to coordinate.

Here are a few close-ups of the details on this card and sleeve.

Hello! Judy here today with a quilt inspired winter background on a birthday card. I live up north where winter means snow, cold and warm quilts! That’s what inspired me to make this paper pieced quilt background and accented with snowflakes.
