Photo Transfer & Collages in a Art Journal with the Art Medium

Posted on April 11, 2016 by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there,

it’s Stephanie here today I want to show you a Art Journal Page I created by using the versatile Art Medium. I had so much fun with it.

Stephanie_phototransfer_1

The Art Medium is a gel medium you can use to adhere collages, to mix it with pigment powders or also to make some photo transfers. This is a really versatile art medium you don’t want to miss.

Here is how I made my photo transfers.

Stephanie_Tutorial_Phototransfer_2

1 – Collect some paper scraps, tissue papers, book pages, look out a brush and the  Art Medium.

2 – Create a collage with papers by using the Art Medium. Just apply with a brush on your page and assemble your collage.

3 – Print out a photo with your printer (Ink Jet is good) and apply 2 layers of  Art Medium on it. Let dry every layer.

4 – Apply another layer of Art Medium and also apply a layer of  Art Medium directly onto the page.

5 – Lay down the photo and use a brayer or your hands to adhere it. Let it dry some hours.

6 – Apply a bit of water on your photo and then rub carefully with your finger. The photo will appear.  Now apply another layer of  Art Medium to make the transfer clearer. Then it’s up to you to add paint, words, stamps or anything else to complete your art journal page.

I gave my motive an outline with a black pen and added some watercolor paint on it to finished the page.

Here is another page on which I used the  Art Medium for photo transfer and collage.

Thanks for visiting us today!

I wish you a nice creative day!

Spring Card

Posted on April 10, 2016 by Michele Kovack

Good morning! Michele here with a card perfect for spring!  It uses a soft watercolor palette and sparkles of glitter.  I added flowers, leaves, and a glitter doily using Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium to secure everything.  Once the panel was decorated, I adhered it to the card using Crafty Foam Tape.

Join Us for Altenew 2nd Anniversary Blog Hop

Posted on April 8, 2016 by Lisa Adametz

We are excited to be celebrating Altenew’s second anniversary by participating in their fabulous blog hop! Using both Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® and Altenew products, our Designer Lisa Adametz created this wonderful Be A Voice watercolor card. Congratulations to our friends at Altenew!!

Hi crafters! It’s Lisa for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® today for this amazing collaborative hop with Altenew. I’m thrilled to be sharing a card made with BOTH products today for the hop.

Be A Voice Card by Lisa Adametz for Scrapbook Adhesives By 3L & Altenew

Be A Voice Card

This card started of as a small 4 x 4″ piece of watercolor cardstock. I simply added some beautiful blends of watercolor and allowed them to flow. Using Pigment Powders in Wine, Gold, and Blue and mixing a bit of water with the pigment powders I then brushed the colors over areas I wished to add a bit of shimmer and shine.

After allowing the watercolor to dry, a few of the stamps from the Altenew set, Botanical Garden, were stamped in Versamark Ink and heat embossed in gold embossing powder. I also used colored pencils to add definition and contrast to the images.

Using the Adhesive Dots Mini, I was then able to adhere 4mm Droplets to the watercolor piece. These tiny little adhesive dots are so perfect for your small sequins and dew drops, etc. You’ll never know they’re there!

LisaAdametz-BeAVoice-040602016-2

The Be a Voice sentiment was stamped using an archival ink from the Altenew set, Painted Inspiration. Next, I rounded corners of the panel and then placed 3D Foam Squares Black Regular on the back side.

Now cut a piece of 8.5 x 11″ Kraft cardstock to make a 4¼ x 5½” base card that is scored on the vertical edge. Cut a piece of patterned paper 1/8″ smaller to fit the front and adhered to the base card using the E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser. Wrap a piece of organza ribbon around the front of the card and tied tightly in a bow, trimming off the ends. Then a piece of pink twine was wrapped around the center of the organza bow and tied in another bow. All of this is secured from the back using an Adhesive Dot 3D.

LisaAdametz-BeAVoice-040602016-3

The liner papers may now be removed from the 3D Foam Squares and placed onto the card, at a slight angle. And *poof* it’s all done! Watercolor backgrounds with beautiful stamps like these from Altenew are so easy and fun.

Travel Themed Scrapbook Layout

Posted on April 6, 2016 by Laurel Seabrook

Hi everyone, Laurel here.  Do you remember when I posted my travel journals and luggage tags?  Well guess what, I am back from Greece and had an amazing time!  Today I am sharing my first layout from our trip.

Travel Themed Layout by Laurel Seabrook

Of course I used the E-Z Runner® Grand Dispenser to adhere most of the pieces as it is so quick and easy to do.  I think it has to be the most used tool (besides my paper cutter) in my craft room!

As you know, I do a lot of stitching on my projects and this is no exception.  When I know I will be stitching something in place, I used the DODZ™ Small (300 pcs) just to hold them in place.

Angel Wings DIY Frame with 3D Foam Wings

Posted on April 4, 2016 by Margie Higuchi

Today I am creating a picture frame out of canvas panel, die cuts and our 3D Foam Wings. By adding your favorite picture secured with Creative Photo Corners Gold, you have an elegant gift to give!

Angel Wings DIY Frame by Margie Higuchi

Using two sets of 3D Foam Wings, I layered them and covered them with Pigment Powder Gold with my finger and brush for details.

MargieHiguchi AngelWingsFrame Apr416 Step1

Then add them on a intricate designed oval die cut, leaving enough room for the angel die cut in the center.

MargieHiguchi AngelWingsFrame Apr416 Step2

On the back of the gold metallic angel die cut, I placed Dodz Small on each shoulder and adhered onto the wings.

MargieHiguchi AngelWingsFrame Apr416 Step3

For the background, I die-cut a beautiful rectangular shape in white cardstock and applied it onto Adhesive Sheet 6 x 12″ for a full coverage on the back. Then I adhered it to my black chalk paint canvas panel.

MargieHiguchi AngelWingsFrame Apr416 Step4

In the back of the canvas panel, I placed a pre-made easel piece. To make sure it would stick forever, I also applied our Home & Hobby Line Extreme Double -Sided Tape 1/4″ Permanent! LOL!!

MargieHiguchi AngelWingsFrame Apr416 Step6

Last, I placed two small strips of Extreme Double -Sided Tape 1/8″ on the back left side of the angel die cut. I did this so that you can place a picture underneath the die cut for placement and secure with four Creative Photo Corners Gold.

Here’s a close up and another look at the finished frame…

Hi everyone, Christine here today with a thank you card and a great tip on how to adhere those delicate sentiment die cuts.

Thanks Thanks Card by Christine Emberson for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog

Using Adhesive Sheets, (I like the 6 x 4 size for smaller dies, the sheets are available in larger sizes too) lift the yellow liner sheet, place your chosen card/paper inside, re-apply the liner sheet, place your die on top and run through your die cutting machine.

CEmberson - Thanks 2

You have a perfect sticky die cut with a removable backing. No messy liquid glue!

CEmberson - Thanks 5

I cut multiple ‘Thanks’ to design my card front.  To adhere the decorated front panel of my card I used Crafty Foam Tape.

CEmberson - Thanks 6

For the die cut flower, a 3D Foam Squares – White, Small fits perfectly on the back and will hold it in place securely.

CEmberson - Thanks 4

The finished card.

Hello! AJ here with a easy mixed media tutorial for you card makers!

AJOtto-BeautifulDay-1

I have been busy playing with my Art Medium and the cheesecloth lately and have decided, it’s the best for making flowers with!

To start, take a strip of gauze and lay it out on your work mat.  I just used a cheap-o foam brush, and actually used my fingers as well.  Start brushing the medium over your gauze, liberally covering all areas.   Set aside to dry.

Pour out more medium, and sprinkle a bit of wine pigment powder  color and mix in.  I decided I wanted more color to work with, and added a bit more of each here.

AJOtto-BeautifulDay-4Next, take a second strip of gauze, and repeat covering with your brush.  My medium was in a pile on my work space, so you can also just mix in with you fingers if you like.  Set aside to dry.

AJOtto-BeautifulDay-5

I waited over night, and came back to two amazingly stiff but totally workable pieces of gauze.  Dies cut it like butter and there is no fraying of the gauze.  Here you can see the few blossoms I cut and rolled, and the leaves I cut from the plain white gauze.

For your leaves, they are easily colored with either a spray ink, or dabbing your distress ink pad over it. (I did both to color mine)  I then die cut my rectangle, stamped the sentiment and adhered my flowers to the leaves with DODZ 3D, and then to my die cut.  Once assembled, you can curl your petals and give your flower shape and depth.

AJOtto-BeautifulDay-6

To adhere my patterned paper to the card front, I used the new E-Z Runner® Grand, and to finish of the card, I added a few sequins with the new DODZ Mini.

enjoy! 🙂 AJ

Hello Spring Card

Posted on March 27, 2016 by Lisa Adametz

Hi crafty friends and Happy Easter! It’s Lisa on the blog with you today to share a super pretty Spring card that I made that is appropriate for any occasion, with just a change of sentiment.

LisaAdametz-HelloSpring-03272016-1

Stamping the sentiment in a dark grey and then using watercolor pencils to color in the image is where I started with this card. The stamp itself shows where the highlights and lowlights should be, which is very helpful. Then I used a transparent watercolor that is “impregnated” on a piece of paper to do the rest.  I added a touch of enamel accents to add a glossy finish to the centers of the flowers, as well. Once the color is dry the panel is die-cut.

LisaAdametz-HelloSpring-03272016-2

Two patterned papers were adhered together using my new absolute FAVE adhesive: the E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser. This stuff is so strong and lays down so smooth, just like buttah. 😉 Once adhered I die cut them, too. I cut a doily in half (no idea where I got it) and adhered that puppy down (not a real puppy, please don’t call the SPCA on me!) with  my trusty ‘ol favorite E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to the patterned paper so that the frilly side was about at the edge.

I then doubled the darkest blue of the Twine and wrapped it around the middle of the patterned paper panel and tied into a bow. This gives the appearance of 4 bows and 4 tails. I added an Adhesive Dots Mini under the center of the bow to keep it from shifting and to add stability to the bow I dipped my fingers into theArt Medium and ran my fingers around the bow to give it shape. This little trick is so cool!

3D Foam Squares – Black, Regular were added to the water-colored panel and then that was placed on top of the patterned paper panel.  A stamped, embossed sentiment was done onto some cardstock weight vellum which was then wrapped around the entire piece and again, adhered on the back with the E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser.

To embellish I added a few Pretty Pink Posh Sequins using the Adhesive Dots Mini and then adhered the whole she-bang to a base card cut so that it opens vertically.

One more close-up!

Wishing you ALL a very Happy Easter and beautiful Spring!

Happy Easter Tag

Posted on March 26, 2016 by Latisha Yoast

Hello, it’s Latisha,

IMG_2230

 

With Easter tomorrow, I decided to create a quick treat bag with a festive tag.  Looking back at childhood pictures, I was always wearing tights with my Easter clothes.  Secretly I was happy that spring and summer were fast approaching and I didn’t have to wear tights to church any more (lol).  I was always getting into trouble for ripping them or getting them dirty.

In my neck of the woods (Florida) it actually has been stormy and I believe it will be rainy on Sunday as well.  No matter the weather, I hope  you all have a wonderful Easter.  And if you are still needing a quick gift, then I hope my project today gives you a little bit of inspiration.

Some quick steps:

  1.  Die cut the tag and grass.
  2. Stamp the sentiment with black ink, butterflies in coral ink.
  3. Stamp egg in blue robin ink and then die-cut.  Adhere the egg to the tag using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® 3D Foam Squares (white, regular).
  4. Adhere the grass border over the egg using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® 3D Foam Squares (white, small).
  5. Adhere sequins to the tag using the NEW Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Dodz™ Mini.
  6. Add candy to glassine bag.
  7. Punch hole in the bag, attach the tag with ribbon.
