Fourth of July Card Tutorial

Posted on June 10, 2016 by Michele Kovack

Howdy! Michele here with a patriotic card to celebrate the Fourth of July, which is right around the corner!

Fourth of July Card Tutorial

I cut the frames and left the dies in place. I sponged ink around the dies and spritzed it with water. I also flicked a bit of gold water color paint. I adhered a strip of Denim Ribbon down the center with Crafty Foam Tape in white.

Fourth of July Card Tutorial by Michele Kovack for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

I used the 3D Foam Creative Sheets to die cut a star. Then I sprinkled it with gold glitter and set it aside. I then used the 3D Foam Heart and sprinkled that with a reddish/gold glitter. Next I tied the twine into a bow and adhered everything, including the letter beads, with Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium and Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini.

For a finishing touch I scattered a few gold sequins around the star. Those were also attached with Dodz Adhesive Dots Mini.

Girls Birthday Card with Die Cuts and a 3D Effect with 3D Foam Squares

Posted on June 8, 2016 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

it’s Stephanie here today and I want to show you a Girls Birthday Card made with Sizzix dies and the fabulous E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable and 3D Foam Squares Mix – white.

Stephanie_Birthdaycard_1

With the 3D Foam Squares it’s so easy to create a 3D effect.

Here is my little tutorial for you.

Stephanie_Birthdaycard_2

1 – Use your die cutting machine and the Sizzix Thinlits Die Set – Elephant Duo to cut out two Elephants. The paper of the Baby Elephant is selfmade with Gelatos this gives a special look.

2 – Use the E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable to adhere the Mama Elephant on your white beackground.

3 – Then use the 3D Foam Squares Mix – white to create a 3 dimensional look.

4 – Put the little Elephant in front of the Mama Elephant.

Stephanie_Birthdaycard_3

5 – With the dies there are also some inlays you can use. For instance these little hearts. Cut a little 3D Foam Square (from the 3D Foam Squares Mix – white) in a half and put it onto your card.

6 – With a black pen you can draw some simple lines for the little heart balloons.

7 – Use the E-Z Dots® Permanent – Refillable to put your background card on a double card.

8 – Then add some finishing touches, like a Birthday stamp and a bow sticker or something else.

Honor Tag Tutorial

Posted on June 5, 2016 by Erica Houghton

It’s Erica and today I’m sharing a tag I created.

Honor Tag Tutorial

I started with a denim-colored panel. Then I placed Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8″ along the bottom of the pennant and folded the bottom up 1/4″. Next, I folded the pennant in half and marked the center with a pin.

Honor Tag Tutorial

After I marked the center I unfolded the pennant, placed Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8″ diagonally in both corners, and folded each corner towards the pin creating a pocket. I then placed Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8″ along both sides as well as the top and folded the sides in 1/4″ and the top down 1″.

Honor Tag Tutorial

Finally, I added machine stitching to my pocket to make it look similar to a denim pocket (I used a pencil and ruler to create my pattern and then stitched along the lines).

Honor Tag Tutorial

Once my pocket was ready I began creating my tag. I started by placing adhesive along the edges of a tag using the HomeHobby by 3L Double Sided Tape Runner and covered the tag with pattern paper. I then used a quatrefoil die cut to create a design to add to the background of my tag. Next, I adhered my die cut to my tag using Adhesive Sheets 4×6″.

Honor Tag Tutorial

I actually cut two die cuts and placed one at the top and bottom of the tag and trimmed the excess off. I covered the gap between the two die cut pieces with the denim-colored pocket I created. To give it dimension I adhered the pocket to my tag using a 3D Foam Creative Sheets Mix.

Honor Tag Tutorial

I embellished my tag with a journaling card, stickers, flowers, ribbon, twine and metal accents. Here are a few close-ups:

Dimensional Mixed Media Background All Occasion Card Tutorial

Posted on June 4, 2016 by Margie Higuchi

Hello! Today I am sharing an all occasion card with a little bit of mixed media This is something easy to do – all you need is modeling paste. I will show you two different techniques for an easy and fast background!

Dimensional Mixed Media Background All Occasion Card Tutorial by Margie Higuchi

With a palette knife (or even a plastic toothless knife/spoon would do), scoop out about 1/2 Tablespoon of modeling paste. Add color, I used about 1/4 teaspoon of Pigment Powder – Pink on top of the paste. Fold in until you get the desired color (you can add more powder if you wish).

Grab a piece of 3.875 x 5.0″ green cardstock cut from Matting Basics B die set and a favorite stencil. Let the fun begin! Start spreading the tinted paste with the back of your palette knife and cover the entire surface.

MargieHiguchi 500 MMBGAllOccasionCd Jun0416 Step2

Let dry – I used sunlight by the window but you can use a heating tool. Be careful not to bubble the paste. Once dried – a second background technique. I lightly rub more Pigment Powder on top of the stenciled design for a subtle shimmery effect (see the first two rows of leaves).

MargieHiguchi 500 MMBGAllOccasionCd Jun0416 Step3

I folded in half a piece of 8.5 x 5.5″ patterned paper for a card base and cut a 4.0 x 5.25″ piece of gold mirror cardstock as a mat. Adhered the mat with E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser and for the stenciled panel, Crafty Foam Tape – White for more dimension.

For the finishing touch add the butterfly die cut (in gold mirror cardstock) with a Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium and place a pink pearl in its center. Here is another look at the card…it’s hard to capture the shimmer on camera but it’s there!

A Card of Courage

Posted on June 2, 2016 by Christine Emberson

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a card of courage. A thoughtful card for anyone you know who may be encountering a bump in the road of life.

Stand Tall Card by Christine Emberson I affixed patterned paper to a kraft card base 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.

My die cuts needed to be raised up but just a little, Thin 3D Foam Squares are perfect.

Memorial Day 2016

Posted on May 30, 2016 by Lisa Adametz

Hello, my friends Lisa here with you today. It’s May 30th and Memorial Day. Today we are remembering all the heroes that gave their lives so selfishly in service to our great nation.

LisaAdametz-MemDay2016-05302016-1

Poppies hold a special significance for Memorial Day.

The use of the poppy was inspired by the World War I poem “In Flanders Fields“. Its opening lines refer to the many poppies that were the first flowers to grow in the churned-up earth of soldiers’ graves in Flanders, a region of Europe that overlies a part of Belgium. (Source: Wikipedia)

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields. — John McCrae

My card is a simple tribute to those who served our country and fought for our freedoms…and paid the ultimate sacrifice. We will NOT forget you.

I stamped the flowers, masked one off and stamped again to create a more “clustered” look and then used Distress Markers to water-color them.
Using the Distress Markers again I created the background. At the top I used water and blue Pigment Powder to create a shimmery “sky” effect.
The panel was trimmed to size and two pieces of patterned paper were die-cut.
The water-color panel was adhered to the first piece of patterned paper using 3D Foam Squares – White, Regular.
A small scrap of paper was stamped with the sentiment using Archival Ink in Cobalt. The scrap was die-cut into a small circle and a hole was made near the top..
Navy Twine was looped through the hole created and a small bow was made. An Adhesive Dots Mini was adhered to the back and it was attached to the front of the card.
Using the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser, I added adhesive to the back of the water-color panel/patterned paper piece and attached this to the second die-cut patterned paper. HOWEVER…just before completely adhering, I tucked in the ends of the twine from the sentiment circle. This piece also got the same adhesive and was attached to a 4¼” x 5½” Navy base card.

Here are some close-ups of my card:

A little bit better look of the poppies:

You are Amazing Treat Bag

Posted on May 29, 2016 by AJ Otto

Hiya! AJ here with a fun treat bag to share featuring the Premium Double-Sided Tape 1″ Permanent and silver mica and glitter as sparkly accent across the front!

AJOtto-YouAreAmazing-1

I love pretty little packaging, and time permitting, I try to create little customized gifts for varying people in my life. With the end of the year approaching, this seemed like a great project for a teacher gift.

AJOtto-YouAreAmazing-2

To start, I stamped the background of my bag. I then adhered two strips of Home Hobby Premium Double-Sided Tape 1″ Permanent. This is one of my favorite techniques for adding that pop of something different to my projects.

AJOtto-YouAreAmazing-3

Trim the ends off and remove the backing. I used Silver Lux Mix mica and glitter on mine but think of the many beads/glitter/flock combinations you have in your craft pile!

AJOtto-YouAreAmazing-4

Once the Premium Tape is covered with the silver glitter and mica, I worked on the stamped panel. Using the Crafty Foam Tape – Black, I adhered the panel to its die cut base.

AJOtto YouAreAmazingCd Step4 May2916

To adhere the panel to the card, I used the Dodz™ Medium. I wanted to make sure it was going to stick on that glitter 😉

AJOtto-YouAreAmazing-6

You can bake cookies and fill each bag to the top OR add a nice gift card to a certain coffee house inside.

Enjoy!

Patriotic Thank You Card

Posted on May 28, 2016 by Judy Hayes

Here’s a Thank You card to our military who keep our country safe! Remembering all those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom and those who serve to maintain that freedom on this Memorial Day weekend!

It’s Judy here today. I’ve created a patriotic “Thank you” card in honor of Memorial Day. With the classic red, white and blue, there’s a bit of sparkle on the stars!

Patriotic Thank You Card by Judy Hayes for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L

Patriotic Thank You Card Steps

First, form a 4.25 x 5.5-inch white card base. Cut 4⅛ x 5⅜-inch piece of white cardstock panel and emboss with an embossing folder.

Cut 4.5-inch pieces of burlap, blue ribbon and red ribbon. Apply Premium Double-Sided Tape ¼ʺ to long edges on the backs of the burlap and ribbons.

Add a row of 3D Foam Stars to the blue ribbon. Remove the top liners and sprinkle with glitter on top. Press onto stars to secure and tap off the excess.

Attach the burlap to the embossed card panel. Adhere the blue ribbon on top of the red ribbon. Add both to the burlap ribbon. Trim ends even with the card panel edge.

Card Panel Details

Wrap and tie a piece of twine around the card panel and above the red ribbon. Place three short strands of twine over the knot and tie again. Trim ends. Use E-Z Runner® Dots Permanent to adhere the embossed card panel to the card base.

Thank You Sentiment

Cut a piece of blue cardstock large enough to fit thank you die. On the back, cover with Crafty Foam Tape Black.

Die-cut the sentiment through die cutting machine two to three times. Most likely the paper and foam will cut but the backing is uncut. Use tweezers to remove all the excess pieces, leaving the sentiment attached to the backing.

Lay the sentiment on the card front to guide the placement of stars. Apply stars to the top of the card. Sprinkle glitter over stars, press into stars, and remove excess.

Adhere the sentiment to the card front, overlapping the burlap ribbon.

Have a safe Memorial Day!

Thank You Card

Posted on May 27, 2016 by Lisa Adametz

Hi crafty friends! Lisa on the blog to share a fun Thank You card. A Thank You card is always appropriate and when you make one that uses so many fun elements like this one does, it’s sure to bring a smile.

LisaAdametz-ThanksLatte-05272016-1

(sentiment reads: “Thanks a Latte” )

Most of my elements were pre-cut utilizing dies. I find that dies make card making a lot more fun and can really be unique IF you think outside the box a little.

I first stamped my coffee cup with an archival ink and water-colored it using water-color pencils. Then a die was used to cut it out. (Please note: All the other pieces were die cut in advance to make assembly easier.)

Since my paper was already die cut I’m ready to assemble:

Using the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable adhesive on the back of the white die-cut card stock and the patterned paper the layers are built up on the card base. I like this adhesive a lot because if I make a mistake I can move it right after adhering, but then it becomes permanent.

LisaAdametz-ThanksLatte-05272016-4

Next, I wanted to adhere this very thin die-cut ring to a paper doily. Well, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® has the perfect adhesive for that! The new E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser. It’s soooooo thin! Only .08″ wide and perfect for circles.

LisaAdametz-ThanksLatte-05272016-5

On the backside of the doily (where the ring of the die-cut paper shows from underneath) I laid down a thin bead of glue using the Dual Tip Glue Pen and adhered into place.

I knew I wanted to add dimension to the coffee cup, so I added 3D Foam Squares -White, Regular to the back of the cup.

LisaAdametz-ThanksLatte-05272016-6

Before taking off the liner paper and adhering the coffee cup, though, I wanted to add a little feminine bow.

Using the Twine in Pink I doubled up a length of twine and tied it in a bow, making sure the bows are relatively even and trimming the ends. Secure the bow to the doily using a Adhesive Dots Medium.

LisaAdametz-ThanksLatte-05272016-7

To give the bow some stability and to keep it from “flopping” my favorite trick is to dip my fingers in the Art Medium and run my fingers over the bows. It truly will help the bow stiffen up without making it look crazy. 😉 Just wash your hands as soon as possible.

Now is the PERFECT time to adhere that coffee cup, too! 🙂

Stamp the sentiment, find the placement, and add some of Tissue Tape as an embellishment.

I had a tiny cup of die-cut glitter hearts so I added one using a tiny piece of a 3D Foam Squares Black, Small. I love the extra added touch of bling.

Here are a few close-ups:

LisaAdametz-ThanksLatte-05272016-2

One more….

LisaAdametz-ThanksLatte-05272016-3

I hope you enjoyed today’s card. I’m going add a Starbucks gift card to this and give it to a very special friend of mine. I hope she likes it!

Have a wonderful weekend.
