Thank You For Being So Amazing Card

Posted on December 29, 2016 by AJ Otto

Hello, AJ here today with some festive shiny accents using our Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/8″ and metallic gold cardstock to my holiday thank you cards! I usually do my Christmas thank yous in holiday colors but they’re packed away and am not pulling them out again. We are leading into Valentines and those colors are readily available on my desk…

To start, I adhered my white stamped layer to the pink layer using the E-Z Runner® Grand.

To make the layers pop, I used the Crafty Foam Tape in White…perfect in covering large areas.

To add a little something, I adhered a few strips of metallic gold cardstock using our Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/8″ – perfect for those teeny little accent strips!

To finish it off, I added a few metallic gold accents. Keeping it relatively flat will help with mailing as well!

Valentine’s Card with Foiled 3D Foam Heart

Posted on December 28, 2016 by Judy Hayes

Hello everyone! I’m shifting literally from Christmas to Valentine’s Day today with foiled accents and some Christmas patterned papers with 3D Foam Hearts and E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser. If you haven’t put away your holiday papers (like me!), take a second look…

judyhayesfoilheartcard1

To make this card, I first stamped the verse on a strip of white cardstock. Then I applied a line of adhesive with E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser over the stamped line. This is the hardest part of this card!

judyhayesfoilheartcard2

To get the edges even, I placed post-its on each edge. Then I carefully applied a strip of adhesive with E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser by starting on the post-it, pulling it across the heart and stopping on the other post-it.

Next, I placed gold foil over the adhesive (pressed firmly in place) and removed it to leave a beautiful gold strip.

judyhayesfoilheartcard4

I used the smallest heart from 3D Foam Hearts. I removed protective paper off heart while it was still on the full sheet.

Then I placed red foil over it, pressed it in placed and removed it.

I peeled the heart from the sheet and placed it over the stamped heart. So pretty!

To complete the card, I added a narrow black mat fastened with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. On each edge, I fastened strips of gold stripe paper also fastened with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser.

I placed patterned paper to card front with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. Finally, I added the stamped strip to the card with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. The red foiled heart and gold strip really make this card!

I challenge you to look check your holiday paper stash for Valentine’s Day cards! Then add 3D Foam Hearts with a bit of foil!

Happy creating!
Judy

Happy 2017 with Keepsake Envelopes

Posted on December 27, 2016 by Lisa Adametz

It’s Lisa on the blog and I have the perfect new year’s card for you using our Keepsake Envelopes Mix – you can tuck beautiful sequins in them, or maybe a small photo, or maybe a treasure map for your party, or directions to the party itself! You are only limited by your imagination.

lisaadametz-happy2017-12272016-1

Keepsake Envelopes Mix have four different size varieties in the pack, I choose the small size (2 x 2″). The numbers for “2017” are popped up using 3D Foam Squares – White, Small. I love the perfect amount of dimension these small squares give. The tops of the champagne glasses also have dimension behind them with the Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix, White (I used the small squares). Adhering the bottom of the glasses to the paper I used the Dual Tip Glue Pen.

To set the word “Happy” apart from the rest of my little scene I chose to stamp and emboss it onto a piece of black cardstock (additional gold dots were also stamped onto the black piece). I wrapped the entire piece of black cardstock around the card front and adhered in place using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser.

The card front was then adhered onto a Kraft colored card base using the same E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser.

Here is a close-up of the Keepsake Envelope filled with the beautiful sequins!

And one more view of the card.

Layered Rusty Glass Jar Lid Ornament with 3D Foam Squares

Posted on December 24, 2016 by Michele Kovack

Michele here with a layered rusty glass jar lid ornament using 3D Foam Squares Mix White. I love making this kind of ornaments each year (I have 35!). This year I made five new ones 🙂 Let me briefly explain what I did for this one…

Layered Rusty Glass Jar Lid Ornament by Michele Kovack for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Using a rusty glass jar lid as the base, I added a doily with the Dual Tip Glue Pen by applying it on the back of the lid. Rubbed a bit of glue to the perimeter of the lid and sprinkled mica flakes over it. Then die-cut two poinsettias out of water color paper and color them using water colors. I applied a bit of glue over each flower petal and sprinkled glitter over it. I added more glue to the centers and added mini gold beads.

Layered Rusty Glass Jar Lid Ornament 2 by Michele Kovack for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

The poinsettias were layered using 3D Foam Squares Mix White. I used Dodz Adhesive Dots Small to add the gold sequins. I punched a hole at the top and threaded rustic twine through it.

Winter Scene Using 3D Foam Snowflakes and Trees

Posted on December 23, 2016 by Lisa Adametz

Hi crafty friends! It’s Lisa on the blog today and I’m freaking out just a teensy bit that Christmas is just 2 days away! Yikes! So I’ve created a sweet and peaceful Winter scene using our 3D Foam Trees and 3D Foam Snowflakes. A card like this (and maybe some eggnog) will be just the thing to calm your spirits.

lisaadametz-winterscene-12232016-1

Using the 3D Foam Trees and Snowflakes makes it so easy to create the perfect Winter scene as the come in multiple sizes. Both can be used with either foil or glitter (as I did here), or even used with embossing powder!

It’s very simple to foil and glitter the 3D Foam as you can see in my photos below:

lisaadametz-winterscene-12232016-4

In the case of the glitter, I used a microfine glitter and burnished it into the shape and used a soft brush to brush away any excess. Both the foil and the glitter turn out beautifully.

I also used glitter on the round snowflakes included in the 3D Foam Snowflakes package. These would be fun to make a pile of snowballs with!

I finished my scene by die-cutting 2 snow drifts out of glitter paper and using 3D Foam Squares – White Mix to adhere the snow drifts onto a piece of Lawn Fawn patterned paper. The trees already have the adhesive on them and were tucked into the snow drift. All the other pieces were adhered whereever was pleasing to the eye, as well.

The patterned paper was adhered using my E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser onto a die-cut piece of cardstock which was popped up using, yes, MORE 3D Foam Squares – White Mix. It’s a nice thick card. 🙂

I didn’t want to use a traditional greeting for this card, so I just used a few stickers that say “winter” “snowflakes” “frosty” and “glisten” and I gave them a little shiny coat of Glossy Accents to make them stand out a bit more.

This was a fun card to make for me. I easy enough to make a few of at a time using different foil and glitter colors, too.

Here are some different views for you:

lisaadametz-winterscene-12232016-2

So you can see my little stickers better. I used a black pen to haphazardly go around the sticker.

lisaadametz-winterscene-12232016-3

I like this pic. It shows the foil really well and the cute round snowflake/snowballs. 😉

Thanks so much for joining me! Wishing you all a very Happy Holiday.

Here is how I made it.

stephanie_wintercard_2

1. With my card panel, I embossed it with a snowflake embossing folder to for a subtle background. For my sentiment, I used alpha stickers. Then laid out all my materials I wanted to use. I embellished my 3D Foam Snowflakes with Glitter and heat embossed some Embossing Powder. I fussy cut my stamped image of a tea bag and painted a little red heart chipboard piece.

2. I used the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to adhere a snowflake die cut.

3. Then I choosed some of the 3D Foam Snowflakes and little circles.

4. With 3D Foam Squares Mix – White I adhered the stamp and the little heart.

And inside the card I used a Keepsake Envelope to put some tea in it and another 3D Foam Snowflake to decorate it.
