Americana Star Banner Tutorial

Posted on June 28, 2016 by Judy Hayes

Hello! Judy here with you today! Are you ready to for the 4th of July? Why not put together an easy Americana Star Banner to add a touch of red, white and blue to your home décor to help celebrate?

Americana Star Banner tutorial by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Making the Americana Star Banner

I’ve used a canvas pennants as the base with blue star ribbon and red, white and blue fabrics.

I cut a 2½ x 5ʺ rectangle from stripe fabric (about same width as pennant) and a triangle that is 4¾ʺ across top and 4¼ʺ along sides towards the point. Next die cut 3 sizes of stars from worn denim, dot/navy fabric and canvas. I’m using the back side of the denim and dot fabric as I liked the color better!

The rectangle of stripe fabric forms a casing at the top.  I’ve fastened it to the canvas pennant with decoupage glue by lapping and gluing it to the stitching line. Then I folded it to the back and glued it there. The trick is to use enough yet not saturate the fabrics!  I used a thick line for the casing. On the rest of the pennant I used a light application and left edges loose.

Next I adhered the triangle piece to the pennant.

I cut a piece of ribbon and fastened it in place with decoupage medium. The ends are  trimmed even with the pennant.

Layer the stars, fasten together and glue them to pennant.

Then I placed a 3D Foam Star to the center of red button, careful placement hides the holes! Use a second star on top to build it up a bit if the button had a concave center like mine. After removing the paper liner I dusted the star with powder so it wasn’t sticky- you could use glitter too!

I used a Dodz Adhesive Dot Medium on back of button and fastened it to the pennant.

Now repeat these steps to make 2 more pennants. With a very large eye needle, I threaded heavy twine through the casings to create the banner. I tied a loop at each end of the twine, and pieces of torn striped fabric around twine between the pennants.  Add bows of dark blue and white twine around tiny clothespins.  Clip these to top of each pennant.

Another Twist on the Americana Home Decor

I had so much fun putting this banner together that I decided to make a 4th pennant.

I followed the same steps above to make it. Start with a small wood dowel in the casing. W wrap wire around one end, form a hanging loop and wrap the wire around the other end of the dowel. Tie a bow of several strands of twine around the wire and tied a piece of torn fabric, too. This is even quicker than the banner and so cute!
Love Stars and Red, White and Blue!

Happy 4th of July!!!

Making the Home of the Brave Card

For this card, I did some stamping, a little bit of die cutting and with the magic of adhesives created this beauty.

  1. Die cut white card stock, stamp sentiment in red ink at the top of the panel, then adhere red strips of card stock to the panel with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable.
  2. Die cut two circle dies, one blue, one white.  Stamp sentiment onto the white die cut, then adhere the circles together and then onto the card using Crafty Foam Tape White.
  3. Adhere twine to the card using Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini.
  4. Adhere the white panel to the card base using Crafty Foam Tape.

Posted on June 24, 2016 by Michele Kovack

Hello! Michele here with a card to celebrate the official start of summer (albeit a few days late!)

Summer Begins card by Michele Kovack for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

This stamp set was screaming to be used!  I colored it with colored pencils, and then added some white highlights with a white gel pen.

I used some pink twine and Crafty Foam Tape in White to give the card a bit of depth and dimension.  To keep the bow from sliding around, I snuck a Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini under the knot.

Stephanie_springcard_2

1 – I collected a beautiful paper and I prepared some die cuts with my Big Shot.

2 – First I adhered my base, a small stripe of paper, with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser onto a white background.

3 – I adhered a flower motive I cuted out with scissors with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. Some yarn left overs from my last sew session I adhered with some small 3D Foam Squares Mix – white by simple laying them behind the die cut flower. Then I put it onto my card.

4 – To adhere some petals I used also stripes of the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser

5 – I adhered the decorated card with the E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.

6 – I finished the card with a sentiment sticker and a half pearl.

My Dad is a Star Father’s Day Card!

Posted on June 19, 2016 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a Father’s Day Card.  This is the one I’ve made for my very special Dad.

CEmberson - Dad Card 1

I gathered together my brown card base, patterned paper and affixed to card front using using E-Z Runner® Ultra – this is an ultra strong, permanent, double-sided adhesive in a refillable dispenser.  It dispenses a clear line of adhesive and is immediately tacky – perfect!

CEmberson - Dad Card 2

 

CEmberson - Dad Card 3

My die cuts need dimension and because the majority are dark coloured card I chose to use 3D Foam Squares both Regular and Small in black. You can purchase a mixed pack with both sizes – very handy!

Twine is secured in place around the star die cut with Crafty Power Tape.

How to Embellish a Father’s Day Home Decor Gift with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Posted on June 17, 2016 by Margie Higuchi

I purchased this metal letter “H” and thought it would be fun to embellish it for my husband in honor of Father’s Day! Using a combination of different Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® products, I ended up with this piece for his office 🙂

 

Embellished Fathers Day Metal Letter Home Decor by Margie Higuchi

 

Starting with an element that needs time to dry, I looped navy twine three times. To keep its shape, I covered it with Art Medium on a Teflon® non-stick craft sheet. Not only can it adhere but it can seal and stiffen materials. Truly one of my “Go To” mediums!

While the twine dries, I rolled some stars on the metal letter “H”.  Then I pressed and rubbed Pigment Powder Gold into them. Use a small piece of baby wipe to clean the excess powder.

On the lower left side of the letter, I added two layers of ribbon for texture. Using Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/2″ Permanent, I adhered White Burlap Ribbon to the metal and then Dark Denim Ribbon with white stars on top.

For the star embellishment, I used gold pigment powder and silver pigment powder to color the 3D Foam Stars. Set aside to add later.

Now to adhere my looped twine embellishment. Again, I used  Art Medium by dipping the twine into the jar. Place on top of the layered ribbon and press down to secure. The medium will dry clear.

After the twine dries, I placed the embellished 3D Foam Star on top but at the top, I added a 3D Foam Square White, Regular to keep the star leveled, It was also a good place to push my memo pin in.

I trimmed a photo of my “boys” and slid in the memo pin. He can change out the picture and use magnets to hold small notes on the metal surface. Now it’s ready to give on Father’s Day 🙂

Glittered Thank You Card using Adhesive Sheets

Posted on June 15, 2016 by AJ Otto

Hiya!  AJ here today to show one of my favorite ways to quickly add glitter to your die cuts.  It’s wedding season, grad season, dad season; etc.  With all those gifts going around, sometimes a thank you card is in need.
AJOtto-TY-002

Sometimes you just need to add glitter to a die cut.  These things happen in our hobby.  😉

AJOtto-TY-2

The EASIEST way to make this happen is to use your Adhesives Sheets with your dies!  Pull the yellow liner backing away and press your card stock in to place.  I often will burnish it with a bone folder to smooth it all out, not necessary, but out of habit it’s what I do. 😉
AJOtto-TY-3

Lay your die, cutting side into the white side of the adhesive sheet and run through your die cutting machine.

AJOtto-TY-4 Gently peel back the white lining and you can start sprinkling glitter all over the exposed area.  I usually try and leave a piece to hold onto, pulling it off section by section. Once covered set aside.
AJOtto-TY-5To adhere my kraft colored layer, I used the E-Z Runner® Grand.  To adhere the white die cut, I added small dots from the Dual Tip Glue Pen all around then placed onto the card.

Perfect to say thanks to Dad on Father’s Day!

enjoy! 🙂 AJ

Hello Friend

Posted on June 13, 2016 by Amy Tsuruta

Hey, it’s Amy and I’m here to share a card with a bit of texture:

Amy Tsuruta Hello Friend

I’ve haven’t used modeling paste with a stencil in awhile so I decided to feature that on my card for today.  I first started with a quickly watercolored panel.  It has been trimmed to an A2 card size.

Amy Tsuruta Hello Friend 1

I mixed up some modeling paste and combined it with Pigment Powder Blue.  I added enough of the powder to get the shade of blue that I wanted for my card.

I placed my stencil on top of the watercolored panel and frosted the paste on top of it.

Amy Tsuruta Hello Friend 3

Here’s what it looked like after I was finished:

Amy Tsuruta Hello Friend 4

I set it aside to dry while I finished up the rest of my card.  I love using premade embellishments on my projects.  What I like to do is use more 3D Foam Squares White, Regular to even out the layers.  The arrow is pointing to the area that came with adhesive, I added the additional foam squares.

 

All the panels were adhered using the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser!

 

I love the contrast in colors and all of the texture in this card.  I’ve been smitten with gold glitter cardstock and seem to include it in all of my projects lately.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you have a super week!

Customizing your wedding embellishments is made easy when you use 3D Foam Creative Sheets. Hi it’s Beth, ’tis the season for weddings! I have a sweet and sparkly card perfect for the big day or a bridal shower.

Beth Pingry Wedding Card 1

Customizing Wedding Embellishments

I made this card, using dies from Spellbinders and 3D Foam Creative Sheets. See how the die embosses the 3D Foam? It even shows the dimension through the glitter!

The cake plate and topper are also from 3D Foam Creative Sheets, and I rubbed Gold Pigment Powder into them.

Next I layered with patterned papers using 3D Foam Squares, Click ‘n Stick Squares, and Gold Creative Photo Corners. Then I stamped a message for the happy couple inside.

Really, it was a quick and easy card, and I’m so happy with the result!
