Foiled Christmas Tree Card

Posted on December 13, 2018 by Teri Anderson

Looking for some last-minute Christmas card inspiration? Teri here, and I’ve got a quick card to share with you today. It’s quick to put together, plus it’s easy to give a bit of glitz to this card with products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

Foiled Christmas Tree Card by Teri Anderson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

To make a card like mine, the first thing you’ll want to do is create a card base. Fold a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of white cardstock in half. Add a 4″ x 5 1/2″ panel of patterned paper to the top. Choosing patterned paper for a project like this can sometimes be difficult. I recommend looking for a paper with a small pattern on it rather than a large pattern.

Making the Tree

Next, you want to stamp and die-cut a Christmas tree and a couple presents. Use stamps like I used or pick something similar. Color your images in with markers and adhere them to your card. Want the presents to really pop? Mount them to the card with Thin 3D Foam Squares.

Now, place five to eight 3D Foam Circles onto the tree. Remove the backing paper and burnish Metallic Transfer Foil (or the foil from the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kits) onto each circle. Use your fingers or a bone folder to do this.

You can either use one color of foil or use several. There is no limit to the possibilities when using foil.

Add Some Stars

Now, stamp some snowflakes, starbursts or stars around the tree with black ink. The more stars you add, the merrier. Randomly place Adhesive Dots onto some of them. I prefer the Adhesive Dots Micro because of their small size. You may prefer a larger size. That is fine!

Remove the backing sheet and burnish some foil onto the Adhesive Dots. Be sure to really push the foil with your fingers onto the dots as you burnish them to ensure each dot gets completely covered with foil.

Complete your card by cutting a strip of cardstock that goes entirely across your card. Stamp a sentiment onto it and then adhere it with Thin 3D Foam Squares.

Quick and Easy Christmas Place Cards

Posted on December 11, 2018 by Tracy McLennon

Welcome back, crafty friends! Are you ready for Christmas? Today I have some quick and easy Christmas place cards to share. I love everything about Christmas, and especially holiday crafting.

The holidays can get hectic, and if you haven’t pre-planned, there is probably not a lot of spare time to craft. Here are three quick and easy place card ideas that won’t take hours to create and will add holiday flair to your dinner table.

Quick and Easy Christmas Place Cards by Tracy McLennon for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Pink and Sparkly Place Card

First up, the sparkly pink Christmas place card. For that unconventional tablescape.

This first place card consists of simple layers and a little bit of dimension. Use Adhesive Dots Medium Ultra Thin to add the snowflake die cut and the mini poinsettia. The glitter cardstock is added using 3D Foam Squares White Mix. The name plate is cut from white cardstock using a punch and added using 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Sleek and Modern Place Card

The second place card gives more of a sleek modern Christmas vibe, for those that like a “less is more” table design.

This sleek place card starts with a black cardstock base. Add Extreme Double-Sided Tape ⅛ in to the sides, then using Gold Foil from the 3D Foam Creative Embellishment Kit add that sparkle and shine to the adhesive strips. Next, add the gold cardstock layer using 3D Foam Squares White Mix. The slender name plate is added using 3D Foam Squares White Mix, and add a couple of gold gems for good measure.

Classic Christmas Place Card

The final idea is a classic but simplest design for your place setting. Do you have stamped and colored poinsettias die cuts in your stash?

Using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser add the green cardstock to the white cardstock base. Add the red glitter patterned cardstock using 3D Foam Squares White Mix. The poinsettia is added using Adhesive Dots Medium Ultra Thin. Then simply add a small name plate using the E-Z Runner Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Happy Holidays friends! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Christmas Joy Made Easy

Posted on December 9, 2018 by Christine Meyer

Christmas joy made easy, okay maybe that’s a stretch. But capturing Christmas Joy was certainly made easier by the best adhesives around from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L! Christine joining you today with a Christmas Scrapbook Layout and one especially fabulous tip!

Christmas Joy Made Easier by Christine Meyer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Christmas Joy Layout Close-ups

This Christmas layout has lots of little details but there’s a couple I want to really focus on! First off, let’s talk about how amazing the E-Z Runner Grand Dot Permanent Refill is! A recent tip from team member, Margie, led me to try this refill for my cut-file title. I simply set the cut-file onto some scratch paper and rand my runner all over the backside of it. It picked up the dots and made it ready to adhere. Here’s a close-up look!

I’ve used several adhesives on my cut-files before – the E-Z Runner with the Micro Refill, Adhesive Dots, and the Dual Tip Glue Pen. While all of those worked well and got the job done, I think the Dots Refill is the easiest and quickest! I’m not sure why I had never thought of it before – but it certainly will be a standard in my arsenal now!

As I created this Christmas layout I cut out half-inch strips and laid them all across my cardstock. I did not aim to keep them straight – I just wanted a lot of wonky lines! I also didn’t know if I was going to cut out the tree and use it or use the negative space. Both ideas worked in my brain, but I need to get a visual! Because of that, and my uncertainty as to which direction I was going to go, I used the E-Z Runner Grand with the Dots Repositionable Refill to start. I then went back and secured them with the Dots Permanent Refill later!

All of this will make a little more sense in my video!
